OET READING DAILY

Passage:
The common cold, a viral infection affecting the upper respiratory tract, is one of the most prevalent illnesses worldwide. Characterized by symptoms such as runny nose, congestion, sore throat, and cough, the common cold is typically self-limiting and resolves within a week or two, ample rest and staying hydrated are essential for recovery. While numerous over-the-counter medications are available to alleviate symptoms, there is no specific antiviral treatment for the common cold. Prevention measures, including hand hygiene and vaccination against influenza, can help reduce the risk of infection.

Question:
Which of the following is the most effective treatment for the common cold?
A) Antibiotics to target the viral infection.
B) Over-the-counter medications to manage symptoms.
C) Rest and adequate fluid intake.
D) No specific antiviral treatment

OET SPEAKING DAILY

SETTING: Clinic

The nurse is talking to a non-compliant patient. 

TASK

Recommend strategies for managing medication (e.g., tablet organizer, reminders on his/her phone, family support, etc.).

ANSWERS

LISTENING

Answer: B) Reduced effectiveness of the prescribed treatment.
Rationale: The doctor explicitly mentions that non-compliance can hinder treatment effectiveness. While options A and C are potential consequences, the core issue highlighted in the dialogue is the reduced efficacy of the medication due to inconsistent use.

READING

Answer: C) Rest and adequate fluid intake.
Rationale: The passage clearly states that while over-the-counter medications can alleviate symptoms, rest and hydration are essential for recovery. Antibiotics are ineffective against viral infections like the common cold.

WRITING

Thank you for seeing Ms. Mihiraa, who has severe headaches and associated symptoms. She requires continued care and management from your expertise.

SPEAKING

Mihiraa, I understand that managing your medications can be challenging. Let’s work together to find a system that works best for you. One option is using a medication organizer. It’s like a little helper that keeps your pills sorted for each day of the week, helping you keep track of which ones to take and when. Another idea is setting reminders on your phone. You can choose fun little tunes or vibrations to alert you when it’s time to take your medicine. Involving your family or a close friend can also be beneficial. They can help remind you to take your medications or even assist in managing your medication routine. It’s okay to ask for help – we all need it sometimes.
