▶ Topic : Should the Amtrak be privatize ? | |
|
▶ Your Answer :
While the author of the reading passage argues that Amtrak should be privatized with problems related to the train, the speaker refutes the passage's argument with counter view.
First, the speaker states that the private transportations could not exist without
goverments' aid. In fact, the goverment already have helped airlines in many way, such as air traffic control towers and weather satellites. This goes against the writer's assertion that it is improper for government to spend money on only supporting Amtrak.
Sencondly, the professor contends that the purpose of the Amtrak is not to earning money, but to providing service for all citizen. The speaker adds that citizens who dwell in distant location have the same right to use the Amtrak, and the governmnet should fulfill their needs. This casts doubt on the author's claim that the Amtrak waste lot of money because it offer unnessary sevice for people who reside in secluded areas.
Finally, the lecturer points out that the government should invest more money in Amtrak. The speaker adds that people do not use the Amtrak because the train is so outdated that it is slow and inefficient. If the goverment funds on Amtrak, like Japan and Europe, citizens will make use of the train more frequently. This contradicts the passage's opinion that the government should spend money on improving other transportation, such as highway that majority of citizens use. | |

the professor contends that the purpose of the Amtrak is not to earning
money, but to providing service for all citizens. The speaker adds that
citizens who dwell in distant location have the same right to use the Amtrak,
and the governmnet(ent) should fulfill their needs. This casts doubt on
the author's claim that the Amtrak waste lot of money because it offers unnessary
sevice(unnecessary service) for people who reside in secluded areas.
Finally, the
lecturer points out that the government should invest more money in Amtrak. The
speaker adds that people do not use the Amtrak because the train is so outdated
that it is slow and inefficient. If the goverment (government) funded on Amtrak,
like Japan and Europe, citizens will make use of the train more frequently.
This contradicts the passage's opinion that the government should spend money
on improving other transportation, such as highway that majority of citizens
use.

reading passage의 핵심 포인트들을 토플 통합형 형식 맞게 잘 비교했습니다. 그러나, 스펠링 오류가 많습니다. 특히
government 스펠링이 많이 틀립니다. 스펠링을 공부하고 글 쓴 후 꼭 확인해주시길
바랍니다. 서론도 본론과 비슷하게 (듣기 도입-읽기 주제)형식으로 구성하세요.
