Passage
E. coli, a bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals, can cause a variety of illnesses. Some strains are harmless, while others produce toxins that can lead to severe foodborne illness. Outbreaks linked to contaminated food, such as undercooked ground beef, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated fresh produce, have underscored the importance of food safety practices. Research into E. coli has led to a better understanding of its virulence factors, allowing for the development of diagnostic tools and preventive measures.
Question
Which statement accurately reflects the potential consequences of E. coli infection?
A. The ingestion of E. coli invariably results in severe illness.
B. E. coli contamination is exclusively linked to the consumption of undercooked meat.
C. Certain strains of E. coli can produce harmful substances that contribute to illness.
D. The eradication of E. coli from the environment is a feasible and immediate goal.

OET SPEAKING DAILY
SETTING: Clinic
The nurse is talking to a grandfather who is reluctant to take Boostrix vaccine.
TASK
Explain what a Boostrix vaccine is for ( vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough), and that it is recommended for adults in close contact with newborns.
ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: B) Potential muscle weakness and deconditioning.
Rationale: The occupational therapist acknowledges the patient’s concern about relying on a walking aid and emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical activity to prevent muscle weakness and deconditioning. While options A and C are potential concerns, the dialogue specifically addresses the issue of muscle strength and overall physical condition.
READING
Answer: C. Certain strains of E. coli can produce harmful substances that contribute to illness.
Rationale: The passage clearly states that while some strains of E. coli are harmless, others can produce toxins. These toxins are responsible for the illnesses associated with E. coli infection. The other options oversimplify the complex nature of E. coli and its relationship to human health.
WRITING
Ms. Mihiraa has had major depressive disorder for 2 years and is currently on fluoxetine. She has a history of self-harm.
SPEAKING
I understand you might be hesitant about getting another vaccine. The Boostrix vaccine is designed to protect you from diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough. These are serious illnesses, and this vaccine helps prevent them. It’s especially important for people who are in close contact with newborns, as these little ones are very vulnerable to these diseases. Think of it as a way to protect not just yourself, but also the baby.
