Strategies and useful tips
It is recommended to spend not more than 15 minutes on this task.
In that task, knowing of the following aspects of the language is checked:
phrasal verbs (to put up, to come across, to cut down with, etc.);
difference in using of words similar in meaning and synonyms ( to look, to watch, to glance, to see; a trip, travel, a voyage, a journey, etc.);
difference in using of words very close in sounding and spelling but different in meaning (again/against, effect/affect, beside/besides, etc.);
dependent prepositions and word patterns (to rely on smb, to fall in love with smb, to throw in/at, to take care of, etc.).
Traditional or Alternative Medicine
Doctors treat people and make them feel better, sometimes saving their lives or just listening to them and hearing their problems. Scientific {\boxed{32} \underline{ }} and technological advances have brought considerable benefits in terms of enhancing medical care and welfare. Surgical innovations have made it possible to carry {\boxed{33} \underline{ }} serious surgeries.
However, positive attitudes toward traditional medicine to prevent illnesses or maintain well-being often face a lack of trust among ordinary people. They turn to alternative therapies which empower people to take active roles in their healthy life. Chiropractic and osteopathic medicine, yoga and meditation, special diets and clinical nutrition have become essential in everyday existence. Those things make people feel responsible {\boxed{34} \underline{ }} their health and that they can make their own decisions without nobody to complain about.
Unfortunately, there is no reliable medical or scientific evidence of the effectiveness of alternative medicine. The representatives of {\boxed{35} \underline{ }} medicine cannot see anything wrong with doing a little more exercise or developing a habit of healthy eating. Everything improves the quality of life. Survival rates for cancer and cardiovascular disease are decreasing. {\boxed{36} \underline{ }}, the question is if people have to be grateful for the development of medical infrastructure or the fact that they have finally become concerned about their lives.
People haven't stopped taking medicine and undergoing surgeries in emergency cases. They still make doctor's appointments and take psychological consultations, but they obviously don't rely {\boxed{37} \underline{ }} scientific findings a lot. Searching for the best cure, patients will experience different techniques and procedures. People try herbal medicine, for instance, to downsize side {\boxed{38} \underline{ }} that are caused by traditional drugs. They ask healers who are believed to be able to cure people using natural powers for help. However, their service isn't affordable for everyone.
