In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that antlers of deer function many ways such as enticing mates, indicating territory, or protect themselves from their enemies. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point. First, the professor contends that antlers are not most important factor when deer entice the opposite sex. There are varying other factors to attract mates such as vocalization and body posture. In addition, a study announced that female deer select the male deer which has smaller antlers in spite of exist of another deer which has larger ones. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that antlers performance major role in attracting opposite sex because female deer prefer male deer which have bigger antler than others. Next, the professor insists that it does not appear that antlers are used to indicate deer’s territory. Deer usually mark territory with their scent, which can be recognized by other deer easily. Also, rubbing their antlers is not the behavior of marking, but eliminating outer skin. These facts mean marking is not use of alarming. This debunks the reading passage’s content that antlers are usually used to mark territory they control, which can function as visual warnings to other male deer which want to intrude.
Finally, the professor says that deer’s antlers are not used to shield themselves. Antlers are usually shed in winter in which deer is vulnerable and need more protect. It is so controversy if deer’s antlers are really used to defend themselves. Additionally, female deer must protect their babies but they don’t have antlers, ironically. This refutes the reading passage’s claim that one of functions of antlers is defend due to the fact that deer usually sweep their antlers back and forth to expel the predator and avoid being killed. 점수: 23 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 반박을 하는 것인지를 보는 것입니다. 지금 이 에세이 같은 경우는 리딩에 대한 부분을 한 문장으로만 서술하였는데 한 문장으로 끝내는 것 보다는 리스닝을 좀 더 반박할 수 있는 부분들을 더 서술하시길 바랍니다. 수고많으셨습니다. |
