Exercise 46
IELTS Reading: paragraph heading
Choose the correct heading for the paragraph from the list below.
A) The environmental impact of estuaries
B) The human impact on certain coastal areas
C) Why estuaries will disappear
An estuary is a partly enclosed coastal body of water with one or more rivers or streams
flowing into it, and with a free connection to the open sea. Estuaries are amongst the most
heavily populated areas throughout the world, with about 60% of the world’s population
living along estuaries and the coast. As a result, estuaries are suffering degradation by
many factors, including overgrazing and other poor farming practices; overfishing; drainage
and filling of wetlands; pollutants from sewage inputs; and diking or damming for flood
control or water diversion.
Exercise 47
IELTS Reading: multiple choice about happiness
Read the following excerpt from an article about happiness.
The researchers who publish the annual World Happiness Report found that about three-
quarters of human happiness is driven by six factors: strong economic growth, healthy life
expectancy, quality social relationships, generosity, trust, and free
dom to live the life that’s
right for you. These factors don’t materialize by chance; they are intimately related to a
country’s government and its cultural values. In other words the happiest places incubate
happiness for their people.
