York City Fire Department (FDNY).
Even though she was a marathon runner, she failed the physical test. But Brenda didn’t give up. She

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
THE FUTURE OF ONLINE LEARNING
The coronavirus pandemic brought big changes into our lives, especially in the education system.
As the pandemic lightened, many schools and universities predicted that e-learning would still be very
beneficial in the future. Post-pandemic, we are now entering a new era — the revolution of online
education. At the start of the pandemic, teachers and lecturers moved their lessons from in-person to
virtual classrooms, teaching over platforms such as Zoom.
Now, educational institutions can move beyond this. They will build more useful e-learning
platforms that will meet the needs of students across the world to have more flexibility in their tertiary
education. Students will be able to attend lessons at different times and in different formats that will suit
their particular lifestyles. Many young learners and teenagers will have the option to learn new skills or a
difficult school subject. Students will learn in their own time and at their own pace. Not only is e-
learning more accessible, but it is more affordable. Students only need to pay for their course. There are
no added expenses such as transport costs, materials or stationery. However, there are groups of people
who can’t make use of this form of education. First, those who are in underdeveloped areas may have
difficulty learning online. This can be due to the lack of technological devices to support computerized
learning. Second, students pursuing top-notch university programs are likely to opt for the traditional
form because the range of online courses for official Bachelor’s degrees can be limited. While e-learning
certainly cannot fully replace traditional classroom learning, it is an excellent option for children and
adults wanting to further their skills and knowledge without going anywhere.

Câu 28: What does “opt for” mean?

Câu 29: Which is NOT a benefit of e-learning?
A. Students can choose the skills or subjects they want to learn.
B. Everyone can get access to online education.
C. It allows students to learn at a speed that is comfortable for them.
D. It provides flexibility in terms of time and place for its learners.
Câu 30: What is NOT true in paragraph 1?
A. The coronavirus pandemic has considerably changed our lives.
B. The era of online learning has just begun.
C. The education system is not affected by the pandemic.
