To begin with, the reading passage mentions that it is difficult to control the spread of the tamarisk beetle to other regions. The migration of the insect is likely to provoke ecological threats. This contradicts the lecturer’s point that the population size of the tamarisk beetles can be controlled. As the insects depend on one food source, the tamarisk tree, it is impossible for them to survive in areas where the tamarisk tree does not grow. Furthermore, there are a number of natural predators to eat the tamarisk beetle, which keeps the number of the insects.
Second, according to the reading passage, it takes a long time that the tamarisk beetle bring about the death of a tamarisk tree. Before the insects thoroughly damage the tree, a lot of water resources are still consumed. This counters the lecturer’s claim that the tamarisk beetle slows down the rate of water consumption of the tree. Photosynthesis leads that the tree absorbs large amount of water in order to generate energy. Since the insect eats leaves of the tamarisk tree, the rate of photosynthesis declines, which lowers the plant’s water use.
The final point made by the reading passage is that the use of the tamarisk beetle increases the risk of wildfires. Dead leaves which are extremely flammable fall down to the ground, which is more likely to make wildfires. This casts doubt on the lecturer’s argument that government agencies are able to manage the wildfires caused by the dead leaves. In order to prevent the debris from making flames, agencies which have lots of experience controlling wildfires remove the dead leaves annually. Sometimes, controlled burns intentionally set to clear out the ground and are extinguished before moving to other areas.
우선 reading, listening 확실하게 나눠 적은 부분 너무 좋습니다
listening 디테일 괜찮은 편인데 한문장 정도 supporting detail더 나왔으면 훨씬 좋았을 것 같아요.
reading detail도 2문장씩 적어준 것 아주 좋습니다. 이해 잘 됩니다.
아쉬운 점은 연결사가 너무 한정적이고 (기본적이에요) 어휘가 전부 예상 가능한 범주안에서 나와서
에세이 자체가 특별하게 느껴지지 않는다는 점입니다. 무조건 더 다양하게 동의어 쓰고 그러면 좋을 거 같아요
