지문

Endotherms are animals such as modern birds and mammals that keep their body temperatures constant. For instance, humans are endotherms and maintain an internal temperature of 37°C, no matter whether the environment is warm or cold. Because dinosaurs were reptiles, and modern reptiles are not endotherms, it was long assumed that dinosaurs were not endotherms. However, dinosaurs differ in many ways from modem reptiles, and there is now considerable evidence that dinosaurs were, in fact, endotherms.Polar dinosaursOne reason for believing that dinosaurs were endotherms is that dinosaur fossils have been discovered in polar regions. Only animals that can maintain a temperature well above that of the surrounding environment could be active in such cold climates.Leg position and movementThere is a connection between endothermy and the position and movement of the legs. The physiology of endothermy allows sustained physical activity, such as running. But running is efficient only if an animal's legs are positioned underneath its body, not at the body's side, as they are for crocodiles and many lizards. The legs of all modern endotherms are underneath the body, and so were the legs of dinosaurs. This strongly suggests that dinosaurs were endotherms.Haversian canalsThere is also a connection between endothermy and bone structure. The bones of endotherms usually include structures called Haversian canals. These canals house nerves and blood vessels that allow the living animal to grow quickly, and rapid body growth is in fact a characteristic of endothermy. The presence of Haversian canals in bone is a strong indicator that the animal is an endotherm, and fossilized bones of dinosaurs are usually dense with Haversian canals.

However, in the lecture the professor debate every single point of the reading passage, she holds an statement that dinosaurs could not hold their body temperatures in the cold climates. To begin with, the reading material brings out that the evidence of polar dinosaurs fossils can indicate that dinosaurs could survive in cold. In the contrary, the lecturer holds a different opinion by saying the polar areas were. much warmer before dinosaurs’ extinction. In addition, she claims that the dinosaurs might migrate from warmer places. Therefore she thinks the passage is not convincing. Moreover, the author believes that the legs under dinosaurs bodies is a characteristic of endothermy. The professor in the lecture argues that point by saying that this can solely conform that legs under their bodies could hold a large body shape. Lastly, the reading passage claim that Haversian canals is the structure of endotherms, which is not accepted by the professor. She believes that dinosaurs had growth rings which is the evidence of slow growth during cold weather.

사용자 예시

The reading passage presents three evidences to support the opinion that dinosaurs is belong to endotherms. However, the lecture counts all these viewpoints, stating that are unconvincing. Firstly, the reading claims that dinosaurs are endotherm since their fossils have been found in polar regions where animals have to maintain a stable temperature to survive. Nevertheless, the lecture refuses this argument by stating that those fossils are warmth than today, therefore, dinosaurs going to polar regions probably for another reasons like they just migrate to there for hibernation. Secondly, the reading suggests that the structure of the dinosaur that its legs are underneath their body, which as same as modern endotherms. However, the lecture disputes this theory and claims that dinosaurs' daily activities require a higher energy, they need legs underneath their bodies to support more weight due to they have big size. Finally, the reading assumes that dinosaur's bones include high dense structures called Haversian canals which is a strong indicator that they are endotherms. However, this reasoning also refused by the lecture, which claims that even though dinosaur's bones have Haversian canals but they also have another material that can help them to grow quickly. These body material can help them have a better adaptation in a cool environment. For all these reasons, dinosaurs are not endotherms.

3.Task completeness The essay addresses the main points of the lecture, but some details are missing or unclear. To improve task fulfillment, ensure that you accurately summarize all the points made in the lecture and clearly explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage. Additionally, avoid making assumptions or adding your own opinions.

Example 1: Original sentence: "Nevertheless, the lecture refuses this argument by stating that those fossils are warmth than today, therefore, dinosaurs going to polar regions probably for another reasons like they just migrate to there for hibernation." Improved sentence: "The lecturer counters this argument by explaining that during the time of dinosaurs, polar regions were warmer than they are today, allowing non-endothermic animals to survive. Furthermore, she suggests that dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated during colder months."

Example 2: Original sentence: "However, this reasoning also refused by the lecture, which claims that even though dinosaur's bones have Haversian canals but they also have another material that can help them to grow quickly." Improved sentence: "However, the lecturer disputes this claim by pointing out that while dinosaur bones do contain Haversian canals, they also exhibit growth rings. These growth rings indicate periods of slow or no growth during cooler periods and are characteristic of non-endothermic animals."

4.Essay structure and organization The essay has a basic structure with an introduction, body paragraphs addressing each point from the lecture and reading passage, and a conclusion. However, it lacks clear transitions between ideas and paragraphs. To improve organization and coherence in your essay:

  • Begin each paragraph with a clear topic sentence.

  • Use appropriate transition words and phrases to connect ideas.

  • Ensure that each paragraph focuses on a specific point from the lecture and reading passage.

Example 1: Original sentence: "Firstly, the reading claims that dinosaurs are endotherm since their fossils have been found in polar regions where animals have to maintain a stable temperature to survive." Improved sentence: "Firstly, the reading claims that dinosaurs were endothermic because their fossils have been found in polar regions, where only animals capable of maintaining a stable body temperature could survive.

Section Title: 6. Revised Essay

The reading passage presents three pieces of evidence supporting the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms. However, the lecture counters each of these points, arguing that they are unconvincing.

Firstly, the reading claims that dinosaur fossils found in polar regions suggest they were endotherms since only animals capable of maintaining a stable internal temperature could survive in such cold climates. The lecture refutes this argument by stating that during the time when dinosaurs lived, polar regions were warmer than they are today. Consequently, it is possible that dinosaurs migrated to these areas for reasons such as hibernation rather than being endothermic.

Secondly, the reading highlights the similarity between dinosaurs and modern endotherms in terms of leg position and movement, with both having legs positioned underneath their bodies. The lecture disputes this theory by asserting that dinosaurs required a high-energy body structure to support their large size rather than being built for running like endotherms. Thus, having legs under their bodies allowed them to carry more weight and grow larger.

Lastly, the reading posits that the presence of Haversian canals in dinosaur bones is a strong indicator of endothermy since these structures are characteristic of rapid growth associated with endothermic animals. The lecture challenges this reasoning by pointing out that while dinosaur bones do contain Haversian canals, they also exhibit growth rings indicative of periodic growth patterns. This pattern of rapid growth followed by slow or no growth is characteristic of non-endothermic animals that do not maintain a constant body temperature year-round.

Taking these counterarguments into account, it becomes evident that the claim for dinosaurs being endotherms is not as convincing as initially presented in the reading passage. (281 words)

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The passage and the lecture present conflicting views on whether dinosaurs were endotherms. The author provides three main arguments to support the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms, while the speaker refutes each of these points with alternative explanations.

Initially, the author argues that the discovery of dinosaur fossils in polar regions indicates that they were endotherms, as only animals capable of maintaining a constant body temperature could survive in such cold climates. However, the lecturer disputes this claim by stating that polar regions were considerably warmer during the time when dinosaurs lived. Furthermore, she suggests that these so-called polar dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated during colder months, much like modern reptiles do. Thus, their presence in polar regions does not necessarily prove they were endotherms.

The second point made by the author is that the leg position and movement of dinosaurs resemble those of modern endotherms, with legs positioned underneath their bodies rather than at their sides like crocodiles and many lizards. The lecturer challenges this argument by explaining that having legs under their bodies allowed dinosaurs to support more weight and grow to larger sizes, which offered them certain advantages. Consequently, this leg structure does not necessarily imply that they were high-energy endotherms built for running.

Lastly, the author cites the presence of Haversian canals in dinosaur bones as evidence for their endothermic nature since these structures are typically found in endotherm bones and allow for rapid growth. In contrast, the speaker highlights that dinosaur bones also exhibit growth rings – thickened areas indicating periods of slow or no growth during cooler times. This pattern of periodic growth is characteristic of non-endothermic animals rather than true endotherms which maintain constant body temperatures year-round and continue growing rapidly even in cooler environments.

In summary, while the author presents several arguments supporting the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms, the lecturer effectively counters each point with alternative explanations, casting doubt on the passage's claims. (329 words)

In the article, the writer mainly lists The author provides three reasons to demonstrate that dinosaurs are endotherms. However, the narrator strongly main arguments to support the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms, while the speaker refutes his opinion by giving further explanation. ¶ At first, the writer holds the view that each of these points with alternative explanations (changed "the lecturer" to "the speaker" for consistency).

Initially, the author argues that the discovery of dinosaur fossils have been discovered in polar regions. To be more specific ,only endotherms that can maintain regions indicates that they were endotherms, as only animals capable of maintaining a constant body temperature could live in polar regions. On the contrary, the professor contends that the survive in such cold climates. However, the speaker disputes this claim by stating that polar regions were considerably warmer during the time when dinosaurs lived (added "when dinosaurs lived" for clarity). Furthermore, she suggests that these so-called polar dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated during colder months, much warmer like modern reptiles do. Thus, their presence in polar regions does not necessarily prove they were endotherms.

The second point made by the author is that the leg position and movement of dinosaurs resemble those of modern endotherms, with legs positioned underneath their bodies rather than today. at their sides like crocodiles and many lizards. The speaker challenges this argument by explaining that having legs under their bodies allowed dinosaurs to support more weight and grow to larger sizes, which offered them certain advantages (rephrased for clarity). Consequently, this leg structure does not necessarily imply that they were high-energy endotherms built for running.

Lastly, the author cites the presence of Haversian canals in dinosaur would migrant to the warmer area. So living in the warm region prove the bones as evidence for their endothermic nature since these structures are typically found in endotherm bones and allow for rapid growth. In contrast, the speaker highlights that dinosaur are not endotherms. ¶ Secondly, it bones also exhibit growth rings – thickened areas indicating periods of slow or no growth during cooler times (rephrased for clarity). This pattern of periodic growth is mentioned in the article that the legs of dinosaurs are under the body. characteristic of non-endothermic animals rather than true endotherms which maintain constant body temperatures year-round and continue growing rapidly even in cooler environments.

In other words, the legs of all modern endotherms are underneath the body. Instead, the speaker disagree summary, while the author presents several arguments supporting the idea that dinosaurs were endotherms, the speaker effectively counters each point with this statement. He says that this structure of dinosaur can support them have more weight. If the dinosaurs leg under the body, they can grow to large size. ¶ Thirdly, the writer supports that dinosaur fossils usually have Haversian canals, which is to say, the endotherms include structures called Haversian canals. Instead, the lecture points out its weakness. He explains that dinosaur have the growth ring which show their growth start or grow slowly. That is the evidence dinosaurs are not endotherms.alternative explanations, casting doubt on the passage's claims.

Whether dinosaurs are endotherms is the focus of both the writer in the reading passage of the professor. In the writing, three evidences, fossils, legs, and bones, have been elaborated. However, the professor claims that those clues are not convincing. As opposed to the writer's idea that dinosaur fossils were found in cold places, that is, polar regions, the professor states that these fossils can not prove dinosaurs lived in those areas. The professor advances the theory by saying that dinosaurs might migrate to the polar regions from warmer places or just hibernate there. The professor continues to discredit the author's opinion that the position of the legs ,which were underneath the body, proved the dinosaurs to be endotherms because those legs were used to do runnings, by examing the fact that those legs might be used to undertake more weight instead. In detail, he points out that the legs could support the large sizes of the dinosaurs. Finally, the professor asserts that though dinosaurs have the bone structures, as mentioned by the author, the growth rings of the bones indicated that dinosaurs didn't grow rapidly and grew slowly in cooler environment. This point contracted the writer's argument that the bone structure meant the rapid growth of dinosaurs, which was the characteristic of endotherms.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The debate over whether dinosaurs were endotherms is the central focus of both the reading passage and the lecture. The author of the reading passage presents three pieces of evidence, namely fossils, leg position, and bone structure, to support the claim that dinosaurs were endotherms. However, the professor in the lecture argues that these clues are not convincing enough.

Contrary to the author's assertion that dinosaur fossils found in cold polar regions indicate endothermy, the professor contends that this evidence does not prove dinosaurs lived in such areas year-round. The professor suggests that dinosaurs might have migrated to warmer regions or hibernated during colder months, much like modern reptiles do.

Furthermore, the professor disputes the author's claim that leg position is indicative of endothermy. While the author argues that legs positioned underneath a dinosaur's body are suited for running and thus suggest endothermy, the professor posits an alternative explanation: this leg placement could have evolved to support more weight and allow for larger body sizes in dinosaurs.

Lastly, although Haversian canals are present in dinosaur bones as mentioned by the author, the professor points out that growth rings found within these bones contradict rapid growth patterns typically associated with endotherms. Instead, these growth rings suggest periods of slow or halted growth during cooler environmental conditions – a characteristic not consistent with true endothermy.

In conclusion, a clear divide exists between the author and professor regarding whether dinosaurs were indeed endotherms. (243 words)

The lecturer disputes this by stating that during the time when dinosaurs lived, polar regions were much warmer than they are today. Furthermore, dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated during colder months like modern reptiles do, rendering the presence of fossils in polar regions insufficient proof of endothermy.

Secondly, the passage argues that dinosaurs' legs being positioned underneath their bodies is indicative of endothermy since this physiology supports sustained physical activities like running. The lecturer counters this by suggesting that having legs under their bodies allowed dinosaurs to support their massive weight and grow to large sizes. Thus, this characteristic does not necessarily imply endothermy or high-energy levels needed for running.

Lastly, the passage contends that Haversian canals found in dinosaur bones are evidence of endothermy since these structures facilitate rapid growth—a characteristic of endothermic animals. In contrast, the lecturer points out that dinosaur bones also exhibit growth rings which signify periods of slower growth or no growth at all during cooler times. This pattern of periodic growth followed by rapid growth is more consistent with non-endothermic animals rather than true endotherms who maintain constant body temperatures and grow rapidly even in cool environments.

The lecturer in the reading casts doubt on the points made in the reading passage, providing counterarguments to each of the perspective presented. First and foremost, while the reading passage suggests on dinosaurs have been found in polar regions and its environment were so cold, the lecturer argues that climate that time is much warmer than today. He then expounded upon by explaining that even if dinosaurs felt cold, they can migrate to somewhere or hibernated as the other animals. So it can't prove they are endotherms. Moreover, although the reading claims that their legs can position their body due to the sustained physical movement, particularly regarding running. The lecturer contends that its legs wasn't built for running, another explanation was that it could actually support more weight as it indeed has a large size so they use their leg as an alternative approach to separate their whole weight. Lastly, while the reading posits that evidence shows that there is a similarity of bone structures between endotherms and dinosaurs, which is they all include structures of Haversian canals. The lecturer points out that many dinosaurs undoubtedly have more structures like this, however, they also have gross rings, which emblems that dinosaurs weren't rapidly growing. In fact, there's no growth and slow growth among dinosaurs, and unfortunately, these two phenomenon aren't the characteristics of endotherm. Taking these factors into account, it is evident that the lecturer strongly disagrees with the perspectives presented in the reading passage.

The lecturer in the reading casts doubt on the points made in the reading passage, providing counterarguments to each of the perspectives presented.

First and foremost, while the reading passage suggests that dinosaurs being found in polar regions indicates they were endotherms due to the cold environment, the lecturer argues that the climate at that time was much warmer than today. He further expounds upon this by explaining that even if dinosaurs felt cold, they could migrate to warmer areas or hibernate like many modern reptiles do. Thus, this evidence does not conclusively prove they were endotherms.

Moreover, although the reading claims that dinosaurs' leg positions allowed for sustained physical activity such as running - a characteristic of endotherms - the lecturer contends that their legs were not necessarily built for running. Another explanation is that this body structure supported more weight due to their large size, allowing them to distribute their weight more evenly. Consequently, endothermy and running are not required to explain why dinosaurs evolved with legs positioned under their bodies.

Lastly, while the reading posits that similarities in bone structures between endotherms and dinosaurs - specifically, the presence of Haversian canals - indicate they were endotherms, the lecturer points out that many dinosaur bones also have growth rings. These growth rings signify periods when dinosaurs experienced slow or no growth, which contradicts rapid growth patterns characteristic of endotherms. This pattern of periodic growth does not align with constant body temperature maintenance seen in true endotherms.

Taking these factors into account, it is evident that the lecturer strongly disagrees with the perspectives presented in the reading passage. (272 words)

According to the lecture, the arguments made in the reading passage can't prove that dinosaurs were endotherms. Firstly, the lecture mentioned that when dinosaurs dwelled on Earth,even the polar region were much warmer than today. During a part of the year, it's warm enough for animals that were not endotherms to survive. During the colder period of the year, the so-called polar dinosaurs could either migrate or hibernate like many modern reptiles do. This contradicts the passage's claim that the fossils of the polar dinosaurs are evidences that dinosaurs were endotherms. Secondly, the lecture points out that the fact that dinosaurs have their legs placed under their bodies doesn't necessarily mean that dinosaurs were endotherms. This body structure is able to support more weight, therefore the dinosaurs could grow to an enormous size, which is very advantageous for their survival. This refutes the passage's idea that endothermy is the only possible explanation for the leg position of dinosaurs. Thirdly, based on the lecture, dinosaurs bones have growth rings, which are proof that dinosaurs stopped growing or grew more slowly during colder periods. And this pattern of periodic growth is a symbol of animals that are not endotherms. The lecture also remarked that endotherms keep growing at a high speed even when the temperatures are low. Thus, the bone structure of dinosaurs can't prove that they are endotherms, even though they do have Haversian canals like the passage said.

The lecture casts doubt on the reading passage's arguments that dinosaurs were endotherms. Firstly, it is mentioned that during the time when dinosaurs inhabited Earth, even polar regions were much warmer than today, allowing non-endothermic animals to survive. Furthermore, during colder periods, polar dinosaurs could have migrated or hibernated like modern reptiles. This contradicts the passage's claim that polar dinosaur fossils serve as evidence for endothermy.

Secondly, the lecture contends that having legs positioned under their bodies does not necessarily indicate endothermy in dinosaurs. This body structure supports greater weight, enabling dinosaurs to grow to enormous sizes and providing survival advantages. This refutes the passage's assertion that endothermy is the sole explanation for dinosaur leg positioning.

Lastly, the lecture highlights that dinosaur bones exhibit growth rings, suggesting periods of halted or slowed growth during colder times. This pattern of periodic growth is characteristic of non-endothermic animals. The lecture also notes that true endotherms maintain rapid growth even in cooler environments. Consequently, despite the presence of Haversian canals in dinosaur bones as mentioned in the passage, their bone structure cannot conclusively prove endothermy. (185 words)

Section Title: 6. Article Revision

The article proposed three reasons why dinosaurs are endotherms. However, the professor argues that many scientists do not think those arguments prove that dinosaurs were endotherms.

Firstly, the reading passage claims that dinosaur fossils have been discovered in polar regions, where only endotherms could be active in such cold climates. In contrast, the speaker rebuts that when dinosaurs lived, even the polar regions were warm enough during part of the year for animals that were not endotherms to live. And during the months when the polar regions were cold, the so-called polar dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated like many modern reptiles do.

In contrary to the writer's statement that the legs of all modern endotherms are underneath the body, and so were the legs of dinosaurs, the speaker argues that this body structure supports more weight, so with the legs under their bodies, dinosaurs can grow to a very large size. So, the idea of endothermy and running to explain why dinosaurs evolved to have their legs under their bodies is unconvincing.

Lastly, the article claims that Haverisan canals can be found in fossilized bones which indicates that they were endotherms. However, the professor rebuts that dinosaur bones also have growth rings. These growth rings are evidence that dinosaurs stopped growing or grew more slowly during cooler periods. This pattern of periodic growth is characteristic of animals that are not endotherms. Animals that maintain a constant body temperature year-round as true endotherms do grow rapidly even when environment becomes cool.

n the reading material, the author cites three reasons to support the viewpoint that dinosaurs were endotherms. Nevertheless, the lecturer in the listening material argues that the dinosaurs weren't endotherms. First and foremost, the author argues that dinosaurs were able to live in polar areas where temperature are so low that only endotherms could live in. However, the lecturer offers an opposite stand that during the period when dinosaurs existed, the polar areas nowadays were warmer, meaning that even animals that are not endotherms could survive. Moreover, the lecturer points out that dinosaurs would migrate to warmer areas, which indicates they are not endotherms.

In the reading material, the author cites three reasons to support the viewpoint that dinosaurs were endotherms. Nevertheless, the lecturer in the listening material argues that dinosaurs weren't endotherms.

First and foremost, the author contends that dinosaurs were able to live in polar areas where temperatures are so low that only endotherms could survive. However, the lecturer offers an opposing stance, stating that during the period when dinosaurs existed, polar regions were warmer than they are today, meaning that even animals that are not endotherms could survive. Moreover, the lecturer points out that dinosaurs could have migrated to warmer areas or hibernated during colder months, which indicates they may not have been endotherms.

In addition, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's assertion that dinosaurs had legs positioned underneath their bodies instead of at their sides like modern reptiles in order to run more efficiently. The lecturer demonstrates that legs positioned underneath do not necessarily imply a higher energy requirement for running. Rather, legs underneath the body might have been used to support more weight, helping dinosaurs grow larger in size—a trait which has numerous advantages.

Finally, the author's third reason—that there were a large number of Haversian canals in dinosaur bones allowing them to grow quickly (a characteristic of endothermy)—is also countered by the lecturer. The lecturer points out that although dinosaur bones did contain Haversian canals, they also exhibited growth rings. These rings indicate periods when dinosaurs did not grow rapidly; instead, during colder conditions they grew slower or even stopped growing altogether—a pattern inconsistent with true endothermy.

The reading passage asserts that dinosaurs, which is once widely believed to be the non-endotherm, have new evidence suggest that it's the endotherm. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by providing counterarguments for each point. First and foremost, the reading passage contends that dinosaurs fossils have been discovered in polar regions, which suggests that they had the ability to maintain body temperature, therefore consuming that they are actually endotherm. Contrarily, the lecture asserts that polar regions in the past is much warmer than today, making non-endotherm's survival possible in there. In addition, the author of the reading passage suggests that dinosaurs' leg position that underneath the body resembled other modern endotherms, which can guaranteed their fast running speed. However, the lecture disputes the claim by explaining that the position of leg underneath the body is developed to support more body weight and grow a larger size instead of accelerating running like other endotherm. Therefore, the leg position doesn't mean anything. Finally, the reading passage posits that the Haversian Canals that contain in the dinosaurs' bones allows animals to grow faster, which fit the characteristic of endothermy. The lecture challenged this assertion by highlighting another factor called grocerant which contain in the dinosaurs bones indicate they are not likely to grow rapidly, they grow periodically instead. In this case, dinosaurs shouldn't be claimed to be the Endotherms. In conclusion, the lecture challenges the reading passage's claim on dividing dinosaurs into endotherm group by providing evidence that contradict the claims.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that dinosaurs were endotherms, providing several arguments to support this claim. However, the lecture casts doubt on these assertions by offering counterarguments for each point.

Firstly, the reading passage contends that the discovery of dinosaur fossils in polar regions suggests their ability to maintain a constant body temperature, thus implying they were endotherms. In contrast, the lecture asserts that polar regions during the time of dinosaurs were much warmer than today, allowing non-endothermic animals to survive there.

Additionally, the reading passage argues that the leg position of dinosaurs, with limbs underneath their bodies like modern endotherms, indicates their capacity for efficient running. However, the lecture disputes this claim by explaining that such leg positioning evolved to support increased body weight and facilitate larger size rather than enhance running speed as in other endothermic animals. Consequently, leg position alone does not confirm endothermy.

Lastly, the reading passage maintains that Haversian canals found in dinosaur bones are indicative of rapid growth rates characteristic of endothermy. The lecture challenges this assertion by highlighting growth rings also present in dinosaur bones which suggest periodic growth patterns instead of continuous rapid growth. This pattern is more consistent with non-endothermic animals that experience fluctuating growth rates depending on environmental conditions.

In light of these counterarguments presented in the lecture, it becomes evident that classifying dinosaurs as endotherms based on the evidence provided in the reading passage is not conclusive. (240 words)

Additionally, the reading passage argues that the leg position that of dinosaurs, with limbs underneath the body resembled other their bodies like modern endotherms, which can guaranteed their fast running speed. indicates their capacity for efficient running. However, the lecture disputes the this claim by explaining that the position of such leg underneath the body is developed positioning evolved to support more increased body weight and grow a facilitate larger size instead of accelerating rather than enhance running like speed as in other endotherm.
