▶ Your Answer :
The lecture objects to the points mentioned in the reading passage made about the reasons why the population of sea otter has decreased. The speaker states that the notions in the reading passage have flaws.
The speaker argues that the claim about pollution of oil or chemical is wrong. We need to take a look at this theory mentioned in the reading more closely. If these animals died owing to these pollutants, there would have been dead bodies along the coast. However, there were no dead otters. This casts doubt on the author's claim that the sea otters were killed by some oil or chemical toxins.
The lecturer points out that the assertion regarding the reduction for general population of all sea animals is mistaken. It is hasty to conclude just by looking at this hypothesis. Orcas whales have changed their staple food to small sea animals because their main food was reduced by human hunting activities. The whales start to eat small animals in order to survive. This is why the populations of many species were reduced. This goes against the writer's claim that the number of total animals was decreased due to environmental pollution.
The professor contends that the opinion concerning uneven pattern is flawed. The reading is missing some key points. The reason why different pattern of population occurs is the location, but not the other factors. This is because the predators of sea otters, orca whales, cannot access shallow water and rocky areas. This shows the population of these animals in these types of areas is quite high compared to normal areas. This is in direct opposition to the author's claim that the otters influence (목적어가 필요합니다) negatively depending on uneven concentrations of pollutants. |

1. 각 문단 시작 전에 tab 버튼 눌러서 들여쓰기 해주세요.
2. reading and listening의 비율이 너무 listening쪽으로만 치우쳐져 있습니다.
비율은 5:5, 적어도 6:4 정도는 되어야 합니다.
이는 리딩에 대한 디테일 부족으로 이어지며, 분량 부족, 추가 설명 실패 등으로 이어질 수 있으니
리딩에서도 evidence를 많이 찾아서 써주시면 좋을 것 같습니다.
3. introduction의 분량을 3문장 이상으로 늘려주세요.
수고하셨습니다. *^^*
