▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that the functions of antlers of most male deer have been determined. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up several points that contradict this argument. First of all, the lecturer points that antlers do not play a big role in attracting mates. This is attributed to the fact that they use other methods during the annual mating season. Also, although the author explained that female deer have a clear preference for males with large antlers, it is true that there are many female deer who like males with small antlers.This refutes the author's point that antlers are important to deer when they are attracting mates. In the lecture, the point is made that deer do not use their antlers to mark the territory that they control. The author explained that deer rub their antlers against small trees and create marks to point their districts. However, actually, deer use scent to mark their territory, not visual marks. (and this point is from? the reading or the lecture?) It is true that they use their scent as warnings to other males. This casts doubt on the idea in the passage that antlers are used as visual warnings to other males for marking their territory. The final point made by the lecture is that antlers cannot protect deer from their predators such as wolves. In winter, male deer are weaker, so they cannot protect not only themselves but also their family. Therefore, female deer have to do it instead of them. Although they defend their family and food against predators, it is true that they do not have antlers. This is different from the author's view that antlers can help deer defend themselves and family from dangers. (how? be more specific.) |

철자 오류 두 군데 빼고는 문법도 깔끔하고 잘 쓰신 것 같습니다.
다만 중간에 scent를 쓴다는 포인트의 출처가 없고
맨 마지막에 어떻게 protect하는지 써주셨으면 더 좋았을 거 같습니다.
수고하셨습니다. *^^*
