▶ Topic : Living roofs (해커스 Actual Test 통합형 문제 1번) |

▶ Your Answer : The reading passage talks about how revolutionary and beneficial living roofs are. However the lecturer rebuts the three points made in the reading passage, claiming that the effects of living roofs are rather exaggerated.
First, although people often hear about the city parks on a roof on news and it is true that these parks do increase the total area of park space, the thing is not a lot have the access to these buildings. There seems to be lack of point of having these parks if the majority people don't get to enjoy the park. This directly goes against the first point in the reading passage that living roofs can offer parks for residents to enjoy. Second, regarding the spectacular view these living roofs have, the lecturer, again, argues that it's hard for most people to enjoy it, because it's hard to see those parks from below where the sidewalk is. This effectively opposes the writer's point that living roofs offer a great view for the mass to enjoy. Lastly, the lecturer points out that green roofs require a large sum of money to install and maintain, rebutting the reading saying that green roofs can substantially save energy and cost. He gives an example of a company that built a living roof that it costed around two billion dollars. Not only that it costs a lot to maintain the roof, even more than it can save. For these reasons, therefore, the lecturer thinks that living roofs aren't as effective as they may seem. |

The reading
passage talks about how revolutionary and beneficial living roofs are. However
the lecturer rebuts the three points made in the reading passage, claiming that
the effects of living roofs are rather exaggerated.
First,(the lecturer states that) although people often hear about the city parks on
a roof on news and it is true that these parks do increase the total area of
park space, the thing is not a lot have the access to these buildings. There
seems to be lack of point of having these parks if the majority people don't
get to enjoy the park. This directly goes against the first point in the
reading passage that living roofs can offer parks for residents to enjoy.
Second, regarding the spectacular view these living roofs have, the
lecturer, again, argues that it's hard for most people to enjoy it, because
it's hard to see those parks from below where the sidewalk is. This effectively
opposes the writer's point that living roofs offer a great view for the mass to
enjoy.
Lastly, the lecturer points out that green roofs require a large sum of
money to install and maintain, rebutting the reading saying that green roofs can substantially save
energy and cost(reading passage의 언급을 마지막 문장에서 하세요). He gives an
example of a company that built a living roof that it (which) costed around two
billion dollars. Not only
that it costs a lot to maintain the roof, even more than it can save. (The costs of living
roofs far outweigh its profits)
For these reasons, therefore, the lecturer thinks that living roofs
aren't as effective as they may seem. (통합형 에세이 에는 결론 필요 없습니다.)
