1. PART III. CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS 3.1 Conclusion Reading plays an important role in teaching and learning English at high school. We know that there are four important skills in English: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Cloze reading is one of main sections in any English tests including middle term tests, final term tests and GCSE examination. Due to the Covid 19, MOET had provided high school teachers with “Mock Test” as a sample to navigate and guide teachers in Vietnam to build the reasonable types of exercises for high school students. Thanks to the navigation, teachers can design the exercises based on the Mock test of MOET to help students get better results. Cloze reading tests are used by teachers to measure how well a student comprehends a reading passage. Cloze reading exercises will develop students’ English comprehension abilities and strategies and help them reach higher English reading skills goal. Cloze tests help determine the level of reading comprehension for an individual reading the passages. After completing these practice Cloze Tests, students will see an improvement in their English comprehension and vocabulary. 3.2 Suggestions There are two types of reading exercises in the Mock Test of MOET: Cloze reading and Reading comprehension. In this study, the writer just focused on designing interactive exercises on Liveworksheet for Cloze reading part in the test. The idea of using Liveworksheet to design Reading exercises is promising for teachers who want to improve reading skill for students. Also, it is a good teaching experience if teacher could appply Liveworksheet to design other types of exercises to suppport school students learn English skills effectively. Using Reading skill in the textbook to design different types of exercises as multiple choice questions can make the reading lessons more interesting and effective. It is one of the good ways to help students remember vocabularies in the reading passages better. The writer hopes that this study will give high school teachers a sense of many ways to use Cloze reading in classroom effecctively both online class and offline class. Therefore, I suggest that EFL teachers should try to adapt reading tasks not only in textbook 10 but also in different kinds of material to prepare our students for a better results in their middle term tests, final term tests and even the GCSE examination. 38
