Show answer
Correct answer 1
Key pointSummary writing puts the main points of speech into written words for people with hearing impairment.
Explanation
Summary writing is a method of writing down the main points of what is being said on the spot. It supports communication for people with hearing impairment, especially those who lost their hearing later in life (中途失聴者) or are hard of hearing and do not use sign language, so 1 is correct.
- 2: "Deaf" refers to severe hearing impairment, so it is wrong.
- 3: A flash bell is a device that notifies the person of sounds with flashing lights, so it is wrong.
- 4: Sign language is a visual language and is useful for communicating intentions, so it is wrong.
- 5: A physical disability certificate for hearing impairment is issued when, for example, the hearing level of both ears is 70 dB or more, so it is wrong.
