Resumen de la Tarea

Texto de Lectura

Although the sale of rhinoceros horns is illegal worldwide, rhinoceroses (Rhinos) are commonly poached (hunted illegally) for their horns, which can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per kilogram. Rhino horns are so valuable that one type of rhino is already extinct because poachers killed too many of them. All rhinos may soon become extinct unless something is done to help save them. Several ideas have been suggested The first idea is for wildlife experts to 'dehorn' Rhinos living in the wild. Dehorning means removing the horns of living rhinos to make them less attractive to poachers Horns can be removed without hurting the animals if medical equipment and drugs to calm the animals are used When this strategy was tried on a small scale in the early 1990s; none of the rhinos dehorned at the time were killed by poachers. The second possibility is to educate consumers. The majority of rhino horn sold is used in medicines Although rhino horn is believed to have health benefits, this belief has no scientific foundation Rhino horn consists almost entirely of keratin, the same material found in human hair and nails. Keratin has no known health value. Educating consumers about keratin could greatly decrease the demand for rhino horn The third possibility is to legalize government sales of rhino horn. Some governments have large amounts of horn, taken from poachers they have arrested This horn is often kept in storage. However, if government sales were legal, large quantities of horn that governments already have could be sold at very low prices Poachers kill rhinos because consumers pay high prices for their horns If governments started selling cheap rhino horn, rhino poaching would no longer be profitable and would probably stop, at least for a while. That might help endangered rhino populations to recover.

The lecture and passage discuss the issue of protecting rhinoceroses by preventing the sale of rhinoceros horns. The reading provides three potential solutions, while the listening challenges each point presented in the reading by providing their weaknesses.

Firstly, the reading passage claims that dehorning rhinoceroses using medical equipment without hurting them is a viable solution. Nevertheless, the speaker rebuts this by stating that it might be harmful to their survival in the wild. In fact, even with enough time and money, dehorning might reduce their chances of survival because their horns have many advantages, such as digging for water and guiding young ones. In short, considering their life in the wild, this solution differs from what is mentioned in the reading.

Furthermore, the passage asserts that educating consumers about the lack of health benefits from rhinoceros horns can reduce public demand for them. In contrast, the speaker refutes this by stating that it may not be effective. In fact, people have held this belief for thousands of years due to cultural reasons dating back to ancient times. Therefore, education is unlikely to change their strong mindset, contradicting the argument presented in the reading.

Lastly, the reading passage argues that legalizing horn sales to reduce profit might stop rhino poaching. In contrast, the speaker asserts that many people want a rhino's horn but do not buy it because it is currently illegal. If governments make new laws making rhino horns accessible, it will widen the horn market instead of reducing demand as suggested in the reading passage. In short, this again casts doubt on the overall validity of stopping people from buying rhino horns through legalization efforts. (279 words)

The reading passage presents three ideas to explain the measures to save rhinoceros. However, the professor in the lectures challenges each of the idea by specific point. To begin with, although the reading passage states that we could dehorn the rhinoceros to make them less attractive, the professor disproves it. Firstly, it will cost a lot of time and money to find them in the wild, prepare the drugs and remove the horn. What’s more, it will also reduce the chances fro rhinoceros to survive in the wild. They need horns to dig water, find food and guide predators. If we remove their horns, they are not likely to survive. Furthermore, the reading passage asserts that we should educate consumers about the function of Keratin. Contrary to this assertion, the professor thinks that this kind of idea is too ancient. What’s more, if there are some old people stronly believe this idea, it is not easy to change their mind. Lastly, despite the reading passage condemns that government should legalize their sales of rhino horn, the professor holds an opposing ideas. That is because currently, people who don’t buy horns due to it is illegal. However, if government makes buying horns acceptable, people will start to buy them and the demand of horns will increase dramatically. As a result, the prise of horns will be higher and attract more poachers to kill rhinoceros consistently because government makes the marker larger and more lucrative. In conclusion, through the arguments against each ideas presented in the reading passage, the professor highlights their weaknesses and casts doubt on the validity of the three ideas.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three ideas to explain the measures to save rhinoceroses. However, the professor in the lecture challenges each of these ideas with specific points.

To begin with, although the reading passage states that we could dehorn rhinoceroses to make them less attractive to poachers, the professor disputes this claim. Firstly, it would require a significant amount of time and money to locate them in the wild, prepare the necessary drugs, and remove their horns. Moreover, dehorning would reduce the chances of rhinoceroses surviving in the wild. They need their horns for various purposes such as digging for water, finding food, and protecting themselves from predators. Removing their horns would likely hinder their ability to survive.

Furthermore, the reading passage asserts that we should educate consumers about the function of keratin found in rhino horns. Contrary to this assertion, the professor believes that changing people's ancient beliefs about rhino horn's healing powers is challenging. Educating consumers works best when they do not already have strong preconceived notions about something. However, when consumers hold deeply ingrained beliefs based on centuries-old traditions, new scientific evidence is unlikely to easily change their minds.

Lastly, despite the reading passage suggesting that governments should legalize sales of rhino horn, the professor holds an opposing view. This is because currently, many people who might want rhino horn do not buy it due to its illegality. If governments were to make buying horns acceptable by legalizing sales, demand for horns could increase dramatically. Consequently, prices would rise and attract more poachers who would continue killing rhinoceroses because government sales might create a larger and more lucrative market.

Through these counterarguments against each idea presented in the reading passage, the professor highlights their weaknesses and casts doubt on the validity of all three proposals. (301 words)

The reading and the passage discuss solutions to prevent rhinos from becoming extinct. The passage provides three ideas. However, the professor strongly disagrees with the reading passage. She believes that the solutions in the reading are weaknesses. First, the reading mentions that experts should remove rhinos' horns while they live in the wild. However, the professor severely challenges the idea that dehorning is impractical and harmful for rhinos. To be more specific, experts need to find wild rhinos and try removing their horns. Moreover, rhinos will not have a chance to survive when they lose their horns because they use their horns to dig for water and protect their young and territory. Therefore, experts should not remove rhinos' horns. Second, the passage indicates that the consumers should be educated, which the professor also questions. She argues that educating consumers is not effective because they have ancient beliefs. To elaborate, the professor suggests that when consumers strongly believe that rhino horn has health benefits, it is not easy to change their minds. As a result, the consumers were hard to be educated. Last but not least, the professor continues to cast doubt on the statement made by the author that the government selling rhino horn will lead to a decrease in the poaching of rhinos. Instead, she points out that government sales are not predictable. Moreover, more people would be eager to buy horns when the government sells horns at a very low price. The government sales create a large market and attract more poaching of rhinos. Apparently, the government should not sell rhino horns legally. In conclusion, the reading passage needs more evidence to strengthen its statement.

  1. Revised Essay

The reading and the lecture discuss potential solutions to prevent rhinos from becoming extinct. The reading passage proposes three ideas, but the professor strongly disagrees, arguing that these solutions have significant weaknesses.

Firstly, the reading suggests that wildlife experts should dehorn rhinos living in the wild to make them less attractive to poachers. However, the professor contends that this approach is both impractical and detrimental to rhino survival. She explains that locating wild rhinos and removing their horns would be a challenging task. Furthermore, she highlights that rhinos rely on their horns for essential functions such as digging for water, breaking branches for food, guiding and protecting their young, and defending their territory. Consequently, dehorning would leave rhinos severely disadvantaged in the wild.

Secondly, the passage advocates for educating consumers about the lack of health benefits associated with rhino horn consumption. The professor disputes this solution's effectiveness due to deeply ingrained cultural beliefs about rhino horn's healing properties. She asserts that changing consumers' minds is difficult when they hold ancient and strong convictions about a product's benefits.

Lastly, the reading posits that legalizing government sales of rhino horn could decrease poaching by making it unprofitable. The professor casts doubt on this claim by pointing out the unpredictability of such an approach. She argues that if governments sell rhino horns legally at low prices, demand might grow dramatically as buying them becomes socially acceptable. This increased demand could lead to higher prices and attract more poachers instead of deterring them.

In light of these counterarguments presented by the professor, it becomes evident that the proposed solutions in the reading passage require further examination and evidence before they can be considered viable options for saving endangered rhino populations from extinction. (291 words)

The reading and the passage lecture discuss potential solutions to prevent rhinos from becoming extinct. The reading passage provides proposes three ideas. However, ideas, but the professor strongly disagrees with the reading passage. She believes that the disagrees, arguing that these solutions in the reading are weaknesses. have significant weaknesses (changed "weaknesses" to "significant weaknesses" for emphasis).

First, the reading mentions that Firstly, the reading suggests that wildlife experts should remove rhinos' horns while they live dehorn rhinos living in the wild. wild to make them less attractive to poachers. However, the professor severely contends that this approach is both impractical and detrimental to rhino survival (rephrased "severely challenges the idea that dehorning is impractical and harmful for rhinos. To be more specific, experts need to find rhinos" for clarity). She explains that locating wild rhinos and try removing their horns. Moreover, rhinos will not have horns would be a chance to survive when they lose challenging task. Furthermore, she highlights that rhinos rely on their horns because they use for essential functions such as digging for water, breaking branches for food, guiding and protecting their horns to dig for water and protect young, and defending their young and territory. Therefore, experts should not remove rhinos' horns. territory (added specific examples of essential functions). Consequently, dehorning would leave rhinos severely disadvantaged in the wild.

Second, Secondly, the passage indicates that the advocates for educating consumers should be educated, which the about the lack of health benefits associated with rhino horn consumption. The professor also questions. She argues that educating disputes this solution's effectiveness due to deeply ingrained cultural beliefs about rhino horn's healing properties (rephrased "educating consumers is not effective because they have ancient beliefs. To elaborate, the beliefs" for clarity). She asserts that changing consumers' minds is difficult when they hold ancient and strong convictions about a product's benefits.

Lastly, the reading posits that legalizing government sales of rhino horn could decrease poaching by making it unprofitable. The professor suggests that when consumers strongly believe that rhino horn has health benefits, it is not easy to change their minds. As a result, the consumers were hard to be educated. ¶ Last but not least, the professor continues to cast casts doubt on the statement made this claim by the author that the government selling rhino horn will lead to a decrease in the poaching of rhinos. Instead, she points pointing out that government the unpredictability of such an approach (changed "government sales are not predictable. Moreover, more people would be eager to buy predictable" to "the unpredictability of such an approach" for better flow). She argues that if governments sell rhino horns when the government sells horns legally at a very low price. The government sales create a large market prices, demand might grow dramatically as buying them becomes socially acceptable. This increased demand could lead to higher prices and attract more poaching of rhinos. Apparently, the government should not sell rhino horns legally. poachers instead of deterring them (rephrased for clarity).

In conclusion, light of these counterarguments presented by the professor, it becomes evident that the proposed solutions in the reading passage needs more require further examination and evidence to strengthen its statement.before they can be considered viable options for saving endangered rhino populations from extinction (rephrased conclusion for a stronger ending).

In the reading passage, the author presents three solutions to prevent rhinos from being illegally killed for their horns by poachers. However, the lecturer in the listening material highlights weaknesses in each solution, arguing that none of them would be useful. First and foremost, the author proposes the first solution that we can dehorn wild rhinos and thus render them less appealing to poachers. Nonetheless, the lecturer refutes this solution by emphasizing that dehorning may diminish rhinos' survival in the wild. Even if we have enough time to find rhinos, prepare essential tools, and remove their horns, this practice will directly handicap their capabilities of surviving due to the lack of essential functions (dipping water, finding food, guiding and protecting young, and protecting their territories) the horns provide. Furthermore, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's another solution (that educating consumers about the lack of scientific foundation for horns' health value can considerably diminish the demand for rhino horn), demonstrating that many consumers put high value on and purchase rhinos' horns because of some ancient cultural beliefs. Therefore, this solution will not easily change their affections for the horns, thus being ineffective. Finally, the authors' third solution (that government can sell some rhino horns legally, provide cheap horns and thereby lower the prices, ultimately decreasing the benefits from the related markets) is also counteracted by the lecturer who highlights that such behaviors may cause some unpredictable outcomes. There is a significant chance that the demanding for horns may eventually rise since more consumers will be attracted by the legal trades. Accordingly, with even more lucrative market opening, poachers may continue hunting rhinos. .

The methods of saving the rhinoceros are the focus of both the writer and the professor. In the writing, methods of saving the rhinoceros are proposed, including "dehorning" Rhinoceros, educating the customers, legalizing the horn sales. The professor, however, claims these methods are impractical and realistic. As opposed to the writer's idea that it is helpful to dehorn these rhinoceros by using the medical equipment and drugs, which will make them unattractive to poachers, the professor states that it costs a lot and put them at a disadvantage situation. She advances the theory that finding the rhinoceros in the wild costs a lot of money and time, and it will reduce the chance for rhinoceros to survive, because they rely on their horn to eat food and raise the youth and protect their territory, losing which will put them at a disadvantaged situation. The professor continues to discredit the writer's assertion that we can educate the consumers that rhinoceros' horn isn't beneficial to our health, by examining the fact that people's ancient and original belief is hard to change. In detail, people's relatively new idea and belief are easy to change while old idea and belief are difficult to change, meaning that we cannot easily change people's old belief about rhinoceros' horns is beneficial to our health. It is the professor's third argument that legalizing these horns will expand the market and raise the horn's price, encouraging more poaching, which contradicts the view of the writer that legalizing will lead to a lower price because of cheap rhino horn provided by government. To explore deeper, she contends that more people who want the rhinoceros' horn will buy the them while they don't dare to buy before legalizing, raising the demand and expand the market, which will result in higher price and encourage poaching the horns.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The essay discusses the contrasting viewpoints of the author and the professor regarding methods to save rhinoceroses from extinction. The author proposes three solutions: dehorning rhinos, educating consumers, and legalizing government sales of rhino horns. However, the professor argues that these methods are impractical and unrealistic.

Contrary to the author's suggestion that dehorning rhinos using medical equipment and drugs would make them unattractive to poachers, the professor asserts that this approach is costly and puts rhinos at a disadvantage. She explains that locating rhinos in the wild requires significant time and money, and removing their horns reduces their chances of survival since they rely on them for finding food, raising their young, and protecting their territory.

The professor also disputes the author's claim that educating consumers about the lack of health benefits associated with rhino horns would be effective. She points out that people's ancient beliefs are difficult to change; therefore, it is unlikely that new information would easily alter long-held convictions about the supposed healing properties of rhino horns.

Lastly, the professor challenges the author's view that legalizing government sales of rhino horns would lead to lower prices due to an increased supply of cheap horns. Instead, she contends that legalization could expand the market and raise horn prices by making it socially acceptable for more people to purchase them. This increased demand could result in higher prices, which would ultimately encourage further poaching.

In conclusion, while both parties agree on the importance of saving rhinoceroses from extinction, they differ significantly in their proposed solutions. The professor's arguments cast doubt on each of the author's suggestions by highlighting their potential negative consequences or questioning their effectiveness in addressing this pressing issue.
