In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s
claim that where and when the dogs are domesticated. However, the professor in
the lecture provides several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that wolves were not optimal for the
humans’ hunting companions. He says that wolves tended to chase down prey when
they were involved in hunting. On the other hand, human at that time mostly
used traps to catch their food. Thus, few people would deny that wolves were
not good choices for human’s assistant for hunting. This casts doubt on the
reading passage’s claim that wolves were developed to be dogs as they were
trained to be hunting companions of humans.
Next, the professor insists that dogs were tamed earlier than the
26000 years ago. Since a bunch of footprints of dogs in primitive regions that
is supposed to accommodate people 26000 years ago, was found, it is evident
that people began to domesticate dogs more than 26000 years ago. This counters
the reading passage’s assertion that they were domesticated by humans
approximately 16000 years ago.
Finally, the professor argues that there are multiple spots where
dogs were firstly domesticated in the past. He describes the fossils inquiry
that indicated there are many places like Europe and Middle East that contained
dogs’ fossils whose DNA is consistent with that of modern dogs. This implies
that primordial dogs were relatively equally distributed in the world. Hence,
this refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that their origin place is the
region of China and they spread out to other countries. 점수: 22 리딩에 대한 정보가 많이 부족한 통합형 에세이입니다. 통합형 에세이에서 가장 중요한 부분을 차지하는 것은 한 주제에 대하여서 서로 다른 정보를 가지고 있는 리딩과 리스닝이 어떻게 비교하고 반박하는 지를 보는 것인데. 지금 이 에세이 같은 경우에 있어서는 리딩에 대한 부분이 한 문장으로만 서술하였습니다. 한 문장으로 리딩에 대한 부분을 끝내는 것 보다는 리스닝을 좀 더 반박할 수 있는 부분들을 더 서술하시길 바랍니다. 수고많으셨습니다. |
