▶ Your Answer :
Both
the writer and speaker deal with the three theories that explain about
domesticated dogs. But their perspective is different. The writer argues that
theories are understandable while speaker contradicts such opinions.
First
and foremost, the writer claims that domesticated dog were evolved from wolves
that were trained by humans. This theory was from the belief that ancient
people took wolf pups and then trained. On the other hand, the speaker claims
that it is hard to believe that dog evolved from wolves. This is because their
hunting styles are different. Wolves chased the prey. So it’s hard for humans
to hunt with wolves. Also, it’s hard to train wolf. However, it’s easy to tame
dogs.
Secondly,
the writer mentions that the dogs domesticated almost 16,000 years ago. By
measuring the differences in DNA among dogs, researcher can determine when dogs
start to evolved. However, the speaker on the listening refutes dog
domesticated much earlier than 16,000 years. For the evidence, there was foot
print of young boy and dog. That foot print was 26,000 years ago. It shows that
people started to domesticated dogs earlier than 16,000 years.
Finally,
according to the reading passage, dogs were domesticated in China, and they
spread to other areas around the world. While the lecture contradicts that they
did not domesticated only in China. They scattered around the world. For
evidence, their bones were discovered in many countries. They have different
ancestor, not only in China.
According
to reading passage, writer claims that the theories about domesticated dog are
dependable. While speaker argues that the theories in reading passage are wrong,
because it is hard to believe that dogs were evolved from wolves, they
domesticated much earlier than writer thought, and they did not domesticated
only in China. |
