▶ Your Answer :
Both the reading passage and the lecture
deal with the roles of an axe-shaped crest of Lambeosaurus. In the lecture, the
speaker asserts that theories suggested in the reading are groundless. This
casts doubt on the reading’s
point that recent research has shown that physical feature of the crests may have played.(What does it indicate?)
To begin with, the lecturer contends that it is doubtful that the crests of Lambeosaurus may have been used to attract the opposite
sex. Most of reptiles use their behavior (Awkward
sentence, changed to “use their body” or “act like~”) to attract mates. For example, Crocodiles use their
growling noise to be noticed by potential mates. Lambeosaurus might use the
method which is the same to that of crocodiles. Therefore, the crest of
Lambeosaurus would not have been used to attract mates. This counters the
reading passage’s assertion that the
crests of Lambeosaurus may have been utilized to attract potential mates.
In addition, the speaker argues that it is hard to believe that the crests were
used for battle. To explain, fossil records have indicated that the
crests were stretched backward, whereby Lambeosaurus could not combat with each
other and defend themselves using the axe-shaped crest. Furthermore, Triceratops’
crests were hollow and too fragile. (That is
the reason above) Thus, the crests
might not be used to fight each other. This rebuffs the reading passage’s insistence that the crests of
Lambeosaurus were used for combat.
Lastly, lecturer states that the function of the crests was to supply air (To where?) when Lambeosaurus immersed their head underwater to eat
aquatic plants. Lambeosaurus was a huge creature, so it needed large
amounts of oxygen; however, the crests were too small to contain enough amounts
of oxygen. Lambeosaurus
would have breathed deeply as while foraging
the aquatic plants. Hence, the creatures would not have used their crests to
supply air. (Describe two sentences coherently) This is contradictory to the reading’s claim that the crests of Lambeosaurus
were used to complement air while their head were immersed in water.

글의 주요 포인트들은 대부분 제시가 되었지만, 예시가 설득력 있게 뒷받침해주지는 못하는 것 같아요. 첫 번째 예시의 설명처럼 다른 reptiles 을 mating 행동과 비슷하게 하는 것 역시 나중에서야 언급이 되었네요. 또한
두 번째 내용에서는 combat할 수 없는 결정적인 reason을 한 문장으로 정리할 수 있도록 해주세요.
