PART A: INTRODUCTION Rationale As the era of information technology has come with significant contribution to education, especially to teaching and learning foreign languages, computers have become one of the most dominant devices in the development and delivery of audio-visual products, multimedia presentations, visual materials and end-user software Opportunities such as Internet access, distance learning capabilities, and applications software are tools of the new millennium and they are often used to make the educational environment more relevant, rich and rewarding (Ennis-Cole & Lawhon, 2004) Belz (2003) also affirms that Internet communication tools are used to promote the development of not only foreign language linguistic competence but also intercultural competence Riley (2000, as cited in Yilmaz & Orhan, 2010) emphasizes that teaching and learning that use technology effectively can lead to a greater academic achievement and make a real difference in the lives of students Richards (2006) stresses on the increasing support for learning in the future with the use of information and communication technologies – especially the online educational possibilities of the Internet resources and communications Online learning, as an incredible application of information technology, has therefore received rave reviews from a large number of educators all over the world As the result, the number of online educators with many online learning websites is increasing day by day and online learning plays an increasingly important role in teaching and learning the most popular language in the world – English At Hanoi University of Industry (HaUI), English is taught for a wide range of students of more than 10 faculties and departments This fact results in the demand of innovation in teaching and learning style of which online learning is a choice However, because this is a very new way to be applied, the challenges as well as shortcomings are unavoidable On carrying out the study, the researcher hopes that it can be a big help in deciding whether or not or in what way to teach and learn English more effectively with the adaptation of online learning

Another important reason for the study is the decreasing excitement in students‟ learning When online learning program was introduced into the course, most students seemed interested and hard working with the subject They generally finished the lessons assigned on time in the very first weeks However, about some weeks later, they seemed to neglect their study both online and in class Many of students submitted the lessons late and blamed mainly for the technical mistakes Their study in class became a bit less exciting than that of the first weeks Each time students were asked about online lessons, many of them did not remember anything about the content and how they finished the lessons Basing on these problems, the researcher decided to carry out a study on the effectiveness of Online Learning Program (OLP) to students who took part in it Aims and objectives of the study The study is designed to bring a new look to the OLP as integrated to the main English courses at Hanoi University of Industry In other words, this program is part of the blended learning course in training English for non-major students The study, therefore, aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the OLP to second-year non-major students In particular, it firstly aims at investigating students‟ and teachers‟ attitudes towards the OLP Secondly, it is intended to explore how effective the OLP as part of the course is on students‟ learning through figuring out the benefits and the learning results they had during and after its implementation Providing some suggestions by students and teachers to maximize the educational outcomes of this program is the final purpose of this study In order to achieve these aims, the study seeks to answer the following research questions: (1) What are students and teachers’ opinions and attitudes towards Online Learning Program?

II READING Read the text and choose the best answer to each question All of us complain about not being able to sleep at some time or another However, if you're the kind of person who finds himself staring at the ceiling until late into the night, experts suggest that you look at your diet Research has shown that what people eat during the day, and when they eat, can be connected to how well they sleep at night For instance, if you eat a big meal an hour or two before going to bed, you probably won't sleep well, or you may take longer to fall asleep If your meal is more spicy or fatty than usual, the chances of not sleeping are even greater Sleep experts advise troubled sleepers to eat supper early Then if you feel hungry later on in the evening, just eat something light Another reason that people don't sleep is because they don't eat enough If you're on a diet, you may have trouble going to sleep When you go to sleep hungry, your brain tells you to stay awake so that you can look for food It is a natural survival instinct Experts suggest that if you have trouble sleeping, the best thing to is to try having a light snack before going to bed In addition, you should keep a regular eating schedule during the day If you grab food without eating regular meals, you may have trouble sleeping Some of the well-known substances that can affect your sleep are alcohol and caffeine If you drink a lot of alcohol before you go to sleep, you may fall asleep quickly, but you'll probably sleep lightly There's also a chance that you'll wake up in the middle of the night and feel tired in the morning If you have more caffeine than you're used to late in the day, your sleep will most probably be affected Most people know that coffee, tea, and cola have caffeine in them, but what they don't realize is that there may be large amounts of caffeine in some soft drinks that aren't cola, as well as in chocolate and coffee-flavored foods like ice cream If you are having trouble sleeping, try staying away from caffeine from about five in the afternoon If all this doesn't work, have a cup of hot milk before going to bed 21 If you eat a big meal an hour or two before going to bed, ………… a you might not sleep well c you may fall asleep easier b you will probably sleep well d you may need less time to fall asleep 22 If your meal is spicy or fatty, ………… a you may sleep better c you may have trouble sleeping b the chances of sleeping is greater d you should drink some alcohol 23 What is good for your sleep? a Alcohol b Cola c Hot tea d Hot milk 24 What should you NOT to sleep well? a Eat regular meals c Have a light snack before going to bed b Go to sleep hungry d Stay away from caffeine 25 According to the passage, which statement is NOT TRUE? a Some soft drinks may contain caffeine b Your diet can affect your sleep c Drinking a lot of alcohol can help you sleep well d Troubled sleepers shouldn’t eat supper late Read the text and decide if each

Karel Capek, the author, was the first person to use the word "robot." In the play, a wealthy man creates a group of mechanical workers, called robots, to run his factory Eventually, the robots rebel against their owner and take over the factory The robots in this play symbolized workers all over the world When we think of robots, we often imagine large, metallic-looking devices that somehow resemble human beings – having a body, arms, legs, and eyes In truth, most robots that are used around the world today not look at all like us But even though they don't look like humans, their purpose is to the tasks of humans, to improve on something a human can do, or to ease human life In fact, the word "robot" actually means "worker" in Czech, and robots work for people Robots have found their way into many areas of our society In medicine, surgeons perform operations using robotic arms that hold surgical tools On assembly lines, robots perform such jobs as painting, welding, and inspection Japan, the world leader in robotics, uses robots extensively in its automobile plants Police forces and armies around the world use robots to assist in bomb disposal Robots can help physically disabled people eat, put on makeup, and brush their teeth Some scientists envision a future with human-like robots that perform tasks for us, such as vacuuming or driving They see the robot of the future with sensors to see and hear, motors that simulate human muscles, and microprocessors that "think." 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.99 z 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.2237.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.66 21 Karel Capek was a wealthy man who created a group of mechanical workers, called robots, to run his factory a No information b False c True 22 What is NOT true of robots in the present? a They can paint and weld b They have robotics arms c They are human-like d They can dispose bombs 23 According to the text, what is one of the main purposes of robots? a To perform in movies c To housework like vacuuming To make human life easier b d To look like humans 24 In the future, robots can enjoy the same rights and responsibilities as people a No information b False c True 25 What is the text about? a The purposes and uses of robots b The robots who perform operations Passage 2: c The manufacture of robots d The story of a human-like robot Men's and Women's Brains – Are They Different? Some people believe that there is no such thing as "men's work" or "women's work." They think that there is no reason why husbands shouldn't stay at home and bring up their children while their wives work outside the home as doctors, engineers, or company directors It is, therefore, surprising to read in recent studies that men and women really think differently and are better at different tasks Men are better than women at hitting targets with darts or arrows They can also find hidden objects in a picture better than women can Men can see an object and know how it will look if it moves or turns the other way Women have trouble doing this Women are better than men at recognizing if things are similar or different They notice if things disappear or have been moved from one place to another They are good at working with very small objects Men are not so good at these tasks What is the explanation for these differences? When they are born, boys and girls have identical brains But as they grow and develop, their brains develop in different ways The body produces hormones that cause men and women to develop differently These same hormones also cause different brain development in men and women As a result, men and women tend to think differently Another reason for the differences between men's and women's brains is millions of years old Early man's job was to provide food for his family by hunting wild animals He had to be able to find his prey in jungles and forests He had to be good at throwing spears or shooting arrows at a moving target Early woman's job was to guard her children against danger She had to gather food – small things like fruit, berries, or mushrooms – and had to know the difference between those that could be eaten and those that were poisonous The children of the men and women who did these things well were the ones who survived Research shows that men's and women's brains still develop in ways suitable to the jobs their ancestors did hundreds of thousands of years ago Today, men and women may choose any profession they want It is possible, however, that they may really be more successful at some jobs than others 26 “Women have trouble doing this.” What does “this” in paragraph refer to? a Working with very small objects b Finding hidden object in a picture c Knowing how an object will look if it turns the other way d Recognizing if things are similar or different 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.99 z 37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.33.44.55.54.78.655.43.22.2.4.55.2237.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.77.99.44.45.67.22.55.77.C.37.99.44.45.67.22.66 27 What is the main reason for differences between men's and women's brains?
