Exercise 47: Difficult paragraph headings 
Sometimes it's difficult to decide between two paragraph headings. Look at this 
example from Cambridge IELTS 6. 
Paragraph: 
It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to 
more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. 
However, the ISTP team's research demonstrates that the population and job 
density of cities rose or remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. 
The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working 
in related fields together. 'The new world will largely depend on human 
creativity, and creativity flourishes where people come together face-to-face.' 
Which paragraph heading would you choose and why? 
1. The impact of telecommunications on population distribution
2. The benefits of working together in cities
Exercise 48: True, False, Not Given 
Read the text below about the Stanford marshmallow experiment. 
The Stanford marshmallow experiment was a study on deferred gratification. 
The experiment was conducted in 1972 by psychologist Walter Mischel of 
Stanford University. It has been repeated many times since, and the original 
study at Stanford is regarded as one of the most successful experiments in the 
study of human behaviour. In the study, a marshmallow was offered to each 
child. If the child could resist eating the marshmallow, he was promised two 
instead of one. The scientists analysed how long each child resisted the 
temptation of eating the marshmallow, and whether or not doing so had an 
effect on their future success. The results provided researchers with great 
insight on the psychology of self control.
