▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that a national
park in the United States should be abolished. On the other hand, the speaker
brings up several points that contradict this argument.
First of all, the speaker argues that
admission fees for visitors need for operating the national park. The reason is
that the national park should update the service, give a salary for some
employees, and maintain the system. If admission frees will be removed, the
government has to pay to maintain by tax and budget which means that the tax
will be increased to maintain the national park system. This refutes the
reading claim that charging the owner is unfair because the owner of the
national park is a citizen.
Second, according to the lecture, it is not
related that charging admission fees makes it discourage people from visiting
them. For example, the Yellowstone that is a famous place and is overcrowded
every year is charging a high level of admission fees. Therefore, there are no
links between the high admission fees and the number of visitors. This casts doubt
on the reading argument that charging admission to national park serve as
disturbing from visiting them.
The final point by the lecture is that it is
wrong to say that checking a single visitor and collecting admission fees is a
time-consuming process. This is supported by the fact that such a process lets
to increase the high quality of services and safety as well. Therefore, to
maintain the safety of visitors, the visitors who were checked and gave the
admission fee could only enter the park and set the cars in the national
parking lots. This counters the reading passage that checking every single
visitor and collecting admission fees is the time-consuming process.
