A teacher in a special class
Like other teachers, Nguyen Thanh Loan enjoys her teaching job. However, her class is
different from other classes . The twenty-five children, who are learning how to read and write in
her class, are disabled. Some are deaf, some dumb and others mentally retarded. Most of the
children come from large and poor families, which prevents them from having proper schooling.
At first, there was a lot of opposition from the parents of the disabled children. They used to
believe that their children could not learn anything at all. In the first week, only five children
attended the class. Gradually more children arrived. Their parents realised that the young teacher
was making great efforts to help their poor kids.
Watching Loan taking a class, one can see how time-consuming the work is. During a maths
lesson, she raised both arms and opened up her fingers one by one until all ten stood up. She then

closed the fingers one by one. She continued the demonstration until the children realised they
had just learned how to add and subtract. The children have every reason to be proud of their
efforts. They know a new world is opening up for them.

A. are from large families B. are less mentally developed

A. a lot of protest from the parents against the class
B. a change in the parents’ attitude towards the class
C. a feeling of doubt in the teacher’s ability D. a belife in parents’ opposition

…………………………..
A. the children like Maths B. the teacher is proud of her work
C. adding and subtracing are important D. the teaching work takes time
27/ The writer’s attitude towards Loan’s work in the passage can be described as ………………
A. admiring B. humorous C. angry D. suspicious
part iv: Read the letter then complete the following sentences by marking the

Dear Nam,
I m writing to tell you a piece of news . The first term is coming to an end soon and my school is’
going to have some days off. On this occasion, my class is visiting some caves near Hanoi as we
have recently studied rock formations. Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I
suppose the trip will be very interesting.
At first, we wanted to travel to Thay pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometres away, and we
could go on a day excursion.
However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay pagoda are closed until after Tet.
So we are visiting the ones near Huong pagoda instead. A night campfire on a two-day trip will

be a great event in our schooldays!
To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our own food and sharing buses with some other class.
It is much warmer now. I believe we re going to enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine. ’
The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents permission. They may not want to let me’
stay the night away from home. I ll try to persuade them.’
That s all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.’
Yours,
Nga
