OET READING DAILY
Earwax, a natural substance produced by the ear canal, serves a protective function by trapping dirt and preventing infections. However, excessive buildup can lead to discomfort, hearing loss, and even infections. While many people attempt to remove earwax using cotton swabs or other objects, this can push the wax deeper into the ear canal, worsening the problem. It’s generally recommended to avoid inserting foreign objects into the ears and to consult with a healthcare professional if earwax buildup becomes a concern.
Question:
What is the outcome of using cotton swabs to clean the ears?
A. Promoting the removal of earwax.
B. Preventing ear infections.

OET SPEAKING DAILY

ANSWERS
LISTENING
Answer: A. Complete recovery with no lasting effects.
Rationale: While concussions can be concerning, most individuals with mild concussions make a full recovery without long-term complications. The majority of symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, and memory problems, resolve within a few weeks. In rare cases, individuals may experience post-concussion syndrome (PCS) with lingering symptoms. However, this is less common with mild concussions and often resolves over time.
READING
Answer: C. Worsening earwax impaction.
Rationale: The text states that using cotton swabs can push earwax deeper into the ear canal, making it more difficult to remove and potentially leading to a worsening of the impaction. While cotton swabs might seem like a convenient way to clean the ears, they can actually contribute to the problem.
WRITING
Thank you for seeing Ms. Mihiraa, who has a reducible right inguinal hernia that has increased in size over the past six months. She requires definitive treatment from your expertise.
SPEAKING
Mihiraa, I understand you might be feeling a bit anxious right now. Let me explain what happens next. First, we’ll take your vital signs, which include your blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate. This helps us get a general idea of your overall health.
After that, you will have to wait in the waiting area until the doctor is ready to see you. The doctor will examine you and discuss the next steps, such as possible tests or treatments.
Is there anything else you’d like to know, or are there any questions you have at this point?
