OET READING DAILY

Passage:

The prevalence of obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with far-reaching health consequences. While the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and behavioral factors contributes to weight gain, the modern diet, characterized by excessive consumption of processed foods, sugary drinks, and large portion sizes, has been implicated as a primary culprit. The convenience and affordability of these unhealthy options have made them increasingly prevalent in our food environment.

Question:

It can be inferred from the passage that:

A) Genetic factors are the primary cause of obesity.
B) The cost of healthy food is a major barrier to weight management.
C) The food industry bears primary responsibility for the obesity epidemic.
D) Individuals have complete control over their weight regardless of their environment.

OET SPEAKING DAILY

SETTING: Clinic
The parent attends the clinic with concerns about the child’s atopic eczema.
TASK
Reassure parent about atopic eczema (e.g., common in children, effective management: oral medication, etc.)

ANSWER

LISTENING

Answer: C) can be used as part of a comprehensive management plan.

Rationale: The dermatologist acknowledges the effectiveness of corticosteroids but emphasizes the need for a balanced approach. They suggest using them judiciously and combining them with other treatments to minimize long-term dependence. This indicates a cautious and considered view on corticosteroid use. 

READING

Answer: B) The cost of healthy food is a major barrier to weight management.

Rationale: While the passage does not explicitly state that the cost of healthy food is a major barrier, it does mention that the convenience and affordability of unhealthy options have contributed to the obesity epidemic. This implies that the relative cost of healthier choices might be a factor influencing dietary habits and consequently weight gain. The other options are either contradicted by the passage or oversimplify the complex issue of obesity. 

WRITING

Ms. Mihiraa was admitted to the hospital for routine antenatal care. Approximately two hours prior to admission, she developed an acute onset of an itchy rash on her abdomen and upper extremities. On physical examination, a diffuse erythematous rash with mild pruritus was noted on the affected areas. There was no evidence of angioedema or respiratory distress and her vital signs were within normal limits.

SPEAKING

I understand Mihiraa, how worrying it can be to see your child with atopic eczema. It’s actually quite common in children and often improves with age. The good news is that we have effective treatments available, including medications that can help manage the symptoms. We’ll work closely with you to develop a care plan tailored to your child’s specific needs. Remember Mihiraa, you’re not alone in this, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
