▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage covers three major
benefits that genetically modified trees bring to the world. The listening
passage, which is also of the same topic, clearly shows why the points made in
the reading passage are debatable.
Firstly, the reading passage states that
genetic modification increases the chance of the survival of the trees.
However, the speaker debunks this by arguing that they are normally genetically
uniform and resistant to one particular condition unlike natural trees that are
genetically diverse. 굳이 일반 나무가 유전적으로 다양하다는 점은 언급이 불필요할 것 같습니다. Also, few natural trees that are resistant to certain
environmental challenge will survive and ensure the survival of the entire
species.
Secondly, the reading passage contends that
the use of genetic modification on trees is beneficial to the manufacturers.
The lecturer, however, strongly believes that it is not true because companies
that produce genetically modified trees charge more money for their seeds.
Moreover, farmers, by law, have to pay the companies every time they plant.
Lastly, the reading passage says that planting genetically modified these
trees are a way to stop over-exploitation of wild trees. On the other hand, the
professor refutes this as he thinks that genetically modified trees will cause
damage to wild trees because they have a tendency to grow aggressively.
Furthermore, they will out-compete threaten the natural trees in the competition for with resources such as
soil nutrients.

Integrated Writing Rubrics Score 4.5/5 A response at this level is generally good in selecting the important information from the lecture and in coherently and accurately presenting this information in relation to the relevant information in the reading, but it may have minor omission, inaccuracy, vagueness, or imprecision of some content from the lecture or in connection to points made in the reading. A response is also scored at this level if it has more frequent or noticeable minor language errors, as long as such usage and grammatical structures do not result in anything more than an occasional lapse of clarity or in the connection of ideas. |
