▶ Topic :the bird populations |
|
|
▶ Your Answer :
In this set of materials, both the reading and the lecture deal with the bird populations. Regarding this issue, the lecturer contradicts the writer's claims one by one.
To begin with, according to the lecturer, the writer's first idea cannot be validated. She points out that settlements and human populations affect only certain bird populations. Rather, the number of some birds is increasing in some cities. This point refutes the writer's argument that the number of birds will decrease because birds' habitats will be reduced because of expanding settlements and human populations.
In addition, the lecturer goes on to say that the second idea of the reading passage is also disputable. She explains that much agricultural land is not needed for agriculture. Therefore, increasing agricultural activities do not destroy birds' habitats. This runs counter to the reading passage's assertion that many birds' habitats will destroy because of the need of agriculture land.
Finally, the lecturer claims that the writer's last idea does not sound convincing. Some crops are developed, which can resist to chemical pesticides. Therefore, chemical pesticides hardly affect the number of birds. This casts doubt on the writer's claim that the use of chemical pesticides may result in the declines of bird populations.
