▶ Your Answer :
In the given set of information, both the professor
and the reading deal with cause of the Little Ice Age. The reading gives three
pieces of the information to prove its point, whereas the professor refutes
them.
First
and foremost, the speaker indicates that a decrease in the number of sunspots
is not related to solar radiation. In fact, fewer sunspots were observed, but
solar radiation was did not decreased in response to them. This counters the
reading passage’s hypothesis that the prevalence of sunspots is dependent on
the amount of energy being emitted by the sun. 두 지문이 다루고 있는 topic인 'Little Ice Age'와의 연관성을 더 살려서 요약해주세요. 단순히 흑점이 radiation과 관련 있다/없다로 정리하면 주제와 연관성을 보여주기 어려워요.
Additionally,
according to the performer, a massive volcanic eruption cannot be a reason for
the Little Ice Age. To be specific, cleaning up remains of a volcanic eruption
does not take long. On the other hand, the Little Ice Age lasted for centuries. This casts doubts on the writer’s assertion that a massive volcanic eruption
brought about the Little Ice Age.
Lastly,
the lecturer says that increase in the Earth’s reflectivity did not cause the
global cooling. This is supported by the fact that ice and snow are not the only thing things that reflect light, but clouds also have reflectivity. However, during the global
cooling, the Earth had less could cover, which indicates the Earth did not have
increased reflectivity. This debunks the author’s point that the global cooling
may have occurred due to an increase in the Earth’s reflectivity.
Comment : 두 지문이 각각 어떤 point에서 대립되는지가 잘 드러나고, 간결하게 요약하신 점이 좋습니다. 첫 본론에서 main topic과 관련되는 부분을 간단하게 보완해주시면 좋을 것 같아요. 수고 많으셨습니다~!
Integrated Writing Rubrics Score 4/5 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. |
