1. Unit 5 READING (BÀI TẬP TỰ LUYỆN) Giáo viên: NGUY ỄN KIỀU OANH I. Read the passage below and choose one correct answer for each question. Literacy means the ability to read and write. Being able to read and write is an important skill in modern societies. Usually, people learn how to read and write at school. People who can read and write are called literate; those who cannot are called illiterate. According to the United Nations, illiteracy is not being able to write or read a simple sentence in any language. The UN estimated, that in 1998, about 16% of the world’s population were illiterate. Illiteracy is highest among the states of the Arab peninsula, and in Africa, around the Sahara. In those countries about 30% of men, and 40 - 50% of women are illiterate. One of the causes of illiteracy is that someone who can get by without being able to read and write often does not have the incentive to learn to read and write. Cultural factors, like mostly oral tradition, often also play role. A tribe that mostly herbs livestock, for example, may have no need to read or write. There are two different kinds of illiteracy: - Primary illiteracy: People with primary illiteracy have never learned how to read or write. - Functional illiteracy: People who have learned some reading and writing, but for various reasons, are unable to understand what they read, or cannot write well enough to fill out a form. 1.

Children who appear intelligent and have normal sight and hearing may nevertheless have learning disabilities such as dyslexia - difficulty in reading, dysgraphia - difficulty in writing, dyscalculia - difficulty with numbers and auditory-memory problems that prevent the child from remembering what has just been said. Considered an “invisible” handicap, such learning disabilities can be detected by alert parents before the child goes to school. If the child at about thirty months is not developing normal language skills, something is amiss. A child who cannot do puzzles or put pegs in holes lacks perceptual- motor skills. Kindergarteners should recognize the ABCs. First-graders may commonly reverse their letters, writing a d for a b, but if they are still doing this the start of second grade, they should be tested for learning disabilities.
