Tekst do Czytania
The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers' crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy, since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.

In the reading passage, the author points out several methods to repress the spread of cane toad in Australia. On the contrary, in the lecture, the professor holds a dissenting idea, asserting that there are some disadvantages of these solutions. Firstly, the reading passage presents that by constrution of a national fence, the toad will be blocked and cannot reach some parts of Australia not colonized. However, the professor posits that the national fence will not stop the spead of toad, since toads will lay eggs in stream, causing that some young toads or eggs flow across the fence to other parts along the stream and colonize the new parts. Furthermore, while the reading passage states that government can promotes citizens to capture toads. the professor argues that many untrained volunteer may destory a type of Australia native frog because this type of frog is hard to distinguish with the cane toad. Therefore, it is likely to make some native species be in danger. Finally, the professor disputes the passage's claim that controlling the toads by introducing a virus could be effective even if the virus can infect many reptiles. According to the lecture, becuase of science research, a lot of infected reptiles could be brought to America where the cane toad originates, and then, the native cane toad in America might be infected by the virus, resulting in sever damage to American native environment.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
In the reading passage, the author outlines several methods to curb the spread of cane toads in Australia. Conversely, in the lecture, the professor presents a dissenting view, highlighting potential drawbacks of these solutions.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests that constructing a national fence would prevent toads from reaching uncolonized parts of Australia. However, the professor contends that this fence will not effectively halt their spread, as toads lay eggs in streams which could carry young toads or eggs across the fence and allow them to colonize new areas.
Furthermore, while the reading passage posits that the government could encourage citizens to capture toads, the professor argues that many untrained volunteers may inadvertently destroy a type of native Australian frog that is difficult to distinguish from cane toads. Consequently, this approach could endanger some native species.
Lastly, the professor disputes the passage's assertion that introducing a virus could effectively control cane toad populations even if it can infect various reptiles. According to the lecture, due to scientific research and international trade in reptiles and amphibians, infected animals could be transported to Central and South America where cane toads are native. This may result in native cane toad populations becoming infected by the virus and causing severe damage to their natural ecosystems. (214 words)

Since the large population of the cane toad threatens small native spieces, the reading passage gives three potiential solutions to address this problem. However, the professor contends that none of those solutions is useful, and they may cause tarrible damages. Firstly, the reading passage suggests to build a national fence to stop the spread of toad. Because they did similar things to prevent rabbites before and had a excellent impact. However, given the fact that the toads lay eggs in water, it is unnecessary to build a national fence, considering their eggs could be transported by water ways. With the presence of fence, young toads are able to spread. Secondly, the reading passage argues that governments could group many volunters to catch the toads and destory their eggs, leading to a decrease of population. According to the professos, it is highly possible to reduce the population. However, it may cause unprecedent result. For example, vuolubters without any professional training may destroy other species' eggs which are similar to toads' eggs and are hard to distinct, making those speices being more in danger. Thirdly, the professor strongly argues that a specially designed disease mentioned in the reading passgae is a tarrible idea. The professor asserts that those disease may spread to other country like U.S. though importing and exporting, and threaten the ecosystem. This is because in some places, the toad, as a native specise, is a part of ecosystem. And if one toad is infected, the disease could spread really fast, causing damages in local enviroments.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The reading passage presents three potential solutions to address the problem of the large cane toad population threatening small native species in Australia. However, the professor contends that none of these solutions are effective and may even cause terrible damage.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests building a national fence to stop the spread of cane toads, citing a similar approach used previously to prevent rabbits from spreading, which had a positive impact. Nevertheless, the professor argues that constructing a national fence is unnecessary since cane toads lay eggs in water, and their eggs could be transported by waterways. Despite the presence of a fence, young toads would still be able to spread.
Secondly, the reading passage proposes that governments could organize volunteers to catch cane toads and destroy their eggs, leading to a decrease in population. While the professor acknowledges that this approach might reduce the population, he points out that it may have unintended consequences. For instance, untrained volunteers might inadvertently destroy eggs belonging to other species that resemble those of cane toads and are difficult to distinguish. This could put those species at even greater risk.
Lastly, the professor strongly argues against using a specially designed disease mentioned in the reading passage as a solution. He asserts that such diseases may spread internationally through importation and exportation processes and threaten ecosystems elsewhere. This is because in some regions, cane toads are native species and play an essential role within their ecosystems. If one cane toad becomes infected with this disease, it could spread rapidly and cause significant damage in local environments. (266 words)

The reading passage explores the issue of solving the cane toad problem in Australia, and several reasons are provided in support of the arguments. Although the author's arguments seem credible and substantiated, the lecturer cast several doubts on it for solid reasons, which I will discuss below. Even though the reading passage suggests that the government can build a national fence to prevent the spreading of cane toads, the lecturer claims that this method will fail because cane toads can still spread through streams. She states that the young toad can still pass through the fence to another place by the waterway. Therefore, the speaker's argument disapproves of its counterpart in the passage. Second, the statement held by the writer indicates that volunteers could solve toads’ problems. Conversely, the speaker refutes the idea by providing a valid reason that it won't be successful if the untrained volunteer exists. She concluded that the writer overlooks the importance of the training for those volunteer. The untrained volunteer may misclassify the eggs of the toads with the native frogs, which can lead to acerate of frog extinction. In essence, there is no evidence that recruiting volunteers can deal with this issue. Lastly, the lecturer precisely identifies the weakness in the reading that the virus may be harmful to the ecosystem. She convincingly points out that the virus can affect other species, and the virus can be transported to another region, which will destroy their original habit. As a result, the virus may help solve this problem is a poor-formulated thesis. Based on the evidence provided above, it can be clearly seen that the stance on both sides is paradoxical. While the claims in the reading passage seem plausible, the speaker disproves them by compelling reasons.

Conversely, the speaker refutes this idea by providing a valid reason that it won't be successful if untrained volunteers exist. She concludes that the writer overlooks the importance of training for these volunteers. Untrained volunteers may misclassify cane toad eggs with those of native frogs, which can lead to an acceleration of frog extinction. In essence, there is no evidence that recruiting volunteers can effectively deal with this issue.
Lastly, the lecturer precisely identifies a weakness in the reading: that using a virus may be harmful to ecosystems. She convincingly points out that this virus can affect other species and be transported to other regions, which will destroy their original habitats. As a result, using a virus as a solution is poorly formulated.
Based on the evidence provided above, it can be clearly seen that both sides present paradoxical stances. While claims in the reading passage seem plausible initially, upon further examination by compelling reasons from the speaker they are disproven. (291 words)

Section Title: 6. Revised Essay
The reading passage explores the issue of solving the cane toad problem in Australia, and several reasons are provided in support of the arguments. Although the author's arguments seem credible and substantiated, the lecturer casts several doubts on them for solid reasons, which I will discuss below.
Even though the reading passage suggests that the government can build a national fence to prevent the spreading of cane toads, the lecturer claims that this method will fail because cane toads can still spread through streams. She states that young toads can still pass through the fence to another place by waterways. Therefore, the speaker's argument disapproves of its counterpart in the passage.
Second, the statement held by the writer indicates that volunteers could solve toads’ problems. Conversely, the speaker refutes this idea by providing a valid reason that it won't be successful if untrained volunteers exist. She concludes that the writer overlooks the importance of training for these volunteers. Untrained volunteers may misclassify cane toad eggs with those of native frogs, which can lead to an acceleration of frog extinction. In essence, there is no evidence that recruiting volunteers can effectively deal with this issue.
Lastly, the lecturer precisely identifies a weakness in the reading: that using a virus may be harmful to ecosystems. She convincingly points out that this virus can affect other species and be transported to other regions, which will destroy their original habitats. As a result, using a virus as a solution is poorly formulated.
Based on the evidence provided above, it can be clearly seen that both sides present paradoxical stances. While claims in the reading passage seem plausible initially, upon further examination by compelling reasons from the speaker they are disproven.

The reading and the lecture both talk about the cane toad that is a big threat in Australian because of it multiplied rapidly. The reading gives three ways measures to stop the spread of the cane toad, all of which are contested by the lecture. First, the reading believes that we could prevent the spread by using a national fence. On the contrary, the lecture supports the young toad and toad's eggs live in the stream or river. The water will convey them to flow from one side to the other side. In this situation, the fence will be not effective. Secondly, the reading indicates that the volunteers could capture and destroy the toads. The lecture think although they could decline the population of toad by this way, the untrained volunteers also would kill the endanger native flog. The reason why it will happen is that , in their young age, it is very hard for us to distinguish them. The lecture cannot give a nod to the reading in terms of the second part. Third, the reading raised the method that the scientists could invent a virus to control the number of the cane toad. However, the lecture argues that the infected reptiles and amphibians maybe be transported to the South America where the cane toad is one of the native species and a crucial part of eco-system. If these animal transport the virus to the American toad, it will make a large destruction to the environment. Again the lecture have demonstrated that the third argument is not convincing.

Section Title: 6.文章修订
The reading and the lecture both discuss the issue of cane toads in Australia, which have multiplied rapidly and become a significant threat. The reading proposes three measures to stop the spread of cane toads, all of which are challenged by the lecture.
Firstly, the reading suggests that constructing a national fence could prevent the spread of cane toads. However, the lecture counters this by stating that young toads and their eggs reside in rivers and streams. Consequently, water currents will carry them from one side of the fence to another, rendering it ineffective.
Secondly, the reading posits that volunteers could capture and destroy cane toads. The lecture acknowledges that this approach might reduce their population but also highlights that untrained volunteers could inadvertently kill endangered native frogs. This is because it is difficult to distinguish between young cane toads and native frogs, leading the lecturer to disagree with this solution.
Lastly, the reading proposes that scientists could develop a virus specifically designed to control cane toad populations. Nevertheless, the lecture argues that infected reptiles and amphibians might be transported to South America where cane toads are native species and an essential part of their ecosystem. If these animals introduce the virus into American cane toad populations, it would result in severe environmental damage. Thus, once again, the lecture casts doubt on this proposed solution's effectiveness. (229 words)

However, the speaker of lecture presents a compelling counterpoint, contesting with well-structured claims. Firstly, the woman challenges that building a national fence to prevent cane toad from uncolonized areas. She believes that this will not stop them, since cane toad will lay eggs in the stream and the stream will deliver eggs and young cane toads downstream to other places. In this way, this approach is not effective in real. Secondly, the woman deputes the passage's view of recruiting volunteers to capture and destroy toads. She holds a opposite idea, emphasizing that it may not work and it may damage native creatures. For instance, untrained volunteers go into the field to capture toads, this may damage and threaten frogs' life. Lastly, while the article assumes that designing a disease-causing virus to kill toads might be a excellent control means, the lecturer against this way. She says that this is a really bad idea. This approach will not only destroy animals' habitat but also damage the whole ecosystem. She explains this view with detailed explanation, the virus will both infect the toad and the other animals.

The reading passage asserts that the proliferation of the cane toad population in Australia has led to various proposed solutions. However, the lecturer in the listening passage presents a series of counterarguments, casting doubt on the effectiveness of these solutions.
Firstly, the lecturer disputes the idea of constructing a national fence to prevent cane toads from spreading into uncolonized areas. She contends that this approach would be ineffective, as cane toads lay their eggs in streams which can carry both eggs and young toads downstream, bypassing any barriers.
Secondly, the lecturer challenges the reading passage's suggestion of enlisting volunteers to capture and destroy cane toads. She argues that this method may not only be unsuccessful but also detrimental to native species. For example, untrained volunteers might inadvertently harm or threaten native frogs while attempting to capture invasive cane toads.
Lastly, although the reading passage proposes developing a disease-causing virus specifically targeting cane toads as an effective control measure, the lecturer strongly opposes this idea. She asserts that such an approach could have disastrous consequences for both animal habitats and entire ecosystems. The lecturer elaborates by explaining that if infected animals were transported between continents by researchers or pet collectors, for instance, the virus could spread rapidly and wreak havoc on native populations.
In summary, while the reading passage offers potential solutions for controlling Australia's cane toad population, each suggestion is convincingly refuted by the lecturer's counterarguments regarding their efficacy and potential environmental impact. (246 words)

In the reading material, the author cites three reasons to support his/her viewpoint that several measures can be used to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia. Nevertheless, the lecturer in the listening materials argues that these methods will not work well successfully and will do harm to the environment. First and foremost, the author argues that we can build the fence to prevent toads from moving to places that have not yet been colonized. However, the lecturer offers an opposite stand that these fences can not stop the young toads from spreading as they usually live in the river or streams. This is because the young toads can follow the rivers to other places and carry their eggs to other places. You can not get fences in the rivers. So, this method is not effective. In addition, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's other reason that we can get volunteers to capture the toads and destroy their eggs, demonstrating that volunteers may not recognize the toad species and may harm the native frog. This means volunteers may have difficulties telling frogs and toads and may harm the native ones - frogs, especially when they are young and small which look really similar. Finally, the author's third reason that we can use viruses to control the population and specially destoy the toads is also counteracted by the lecturer who points out that this method is hard to control and may harm the king toad in America. That is because once these viruses are transported to Central America, they will infect and attack the king toads and will do great harm to the ecology. The king toad is native to Central America and plays a vital part in it. Once they are infected, it will put the whole ecosystem to suffer.

Nevertheless, the lecturer in the listening materials argues that these methods will not work well successfully and will do harm to the environment.
First and foremost, the author argues that we can build the fence to prevent toads from moving to places that have not yet been colonized. However, the lecturer offers an opposite stand that these fences can not stop the young toads from spreading as they usually live in the river or streams. This is because the young toads can follow the rivers to other places and carry their eggs to other places. You can not get fences in the rivers. So, this method is not effective.
In addition, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's other reason that we can get volunteers to capture the toads and destroy their eggs, demonstrating that volunteers may not recognize the toad species and may harm the native frog. This means volunteers may have difficulties telling frogs and toads and may harm the native ones - frogs, especially when they are young and smallsmall,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) which look really similar.
Finally, the author's third reason that we can use viruses to control the population and specially destoydestroy(misspelling) the toads is also counteracted by the lecturerlecturer,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) who points out that this method is hard to control and may harm the king toad in America. That is because once these viruses are transported to Central America, they will infect and attack the king toads and will do great harm to the ecology. The king toad is native to Central America and plays a vital part in it. Once they are infected, it will put the whole ecosystem to suffer.

In the reading passage, the author presents three potential solutions to curb the spread of cane toads in Australia. However, the lecturer in the listening passage contends that these proposed measures are either ineffective or environmentally detrimental.
Firstly, the reading suggests constructing a national fence to prevent toads from expanding into uncolonized areas. In contrast, the lecturer argues that such a barrier would not effectively halt their spread due to young toads and their eggs being found in rivers and streams. These waterways could transport them beyond the fence, allowing populations to establish on the other side. Consequently, this approach is unlikely to succeed.
Secondly, the reading proposes enlisting volunteers to capture and destroy cane toads and their eggs. The lecturer disputes this idea by highlighting potential harm caused by untrained volunteers who may struggle to differentiate between native frogs and invasive cane toads, particularly when they are young and resemble each other closely. This confusion could lead to endangering native frog species instead of targeting only cane toads.
Lastly, the reading advocates for utilizing a specially designed virus that would target and control cane toad populations without harming other reptile and amphibian species. The lecturer refutes this solution by emphasizing its potential unintended consequences on cane toad populations in Central and South America. As Australian reptiles and amphibians can be transported across continents for research or as pets, infected animals could introduce the virus into native habitats where it would devastate local ecosystems reliant on cane toads as an integral component.
Taking these counterarguments into account, it becomes evident that the measures proposed in the reading passage are not viable solutions for controlling Australia's cane toad population without causing further ecological damage. (284 words)

Both the reading and the listening are engaging in a disscussion regarding the method to prevent cane toad from spreading in Australia. The reading porposes three assumptions, including national fence, capturing and destroying, and disease-causing virus, to help to achieve such goal, while the lecturer refutes each of the assumptions, asserting each of them is incorrect. As opposed to the writer's first opinion that we can build a national fence to block these toads and stop them spreading to other parts of Australia, which has been used before, the lecturer states that such methoed can't stop the spreading. She supports her standpoint by stating that numerous cane toads lay eggs in the stream, so that the eggs and the young toads live in the steam, which could carries them to the other side of the fence, leading the fence uneffective. What's more, the lecturer proceeds to challenge the reading's claim that toads can be easily captured and destroyed by volunteers, by examing that the participations of volunteers might contribute to the death of other frogs. To be more specific, she indicates that untrained volunteer can not tell the native forgs from cane toads, which means they may also destroy native frogs by accident. Finally, it is the lecturer's third opinion that the random use of virus may damage the whole ecosystem, which contradicts the writer's third idea that we can use disease-causing virus to control the populations of the can toad.

Both the reading and the listening engage in a discussion regarding methods to prevent the spread of cane toads in Australia. The reading proposes three potential solutions, including constructing a national fence, capturing and destroying the toads, and introducing a disease-causing virus. However, the lecturer refutes each of these proposals, asserting that they are either ineffective or harmful.
Firstly, the lecturer challenges the idea of building a national fence to block the toads' migration into uncolonized parts of Australia. Contrary to the reading's assertion that this method has been used successfully before, she contends that it will not be effective in stopping cane toad proliferation. She supports her argument by explaining that many cane toads lay their eggs in rivers and streams; consequently, these waterways can carry young toads and their eggs across fences, rendering them ineffective barriers.
Secondly, the lecturer disputes the effectiveness of capturing and destroying toads by volunteers as suggested in the reading passage. She posits that untrained volunteers might inadvertently harm native frog populations while attempting to eliminate cane toads. Specifically, she highlights that it is often difficult for inexperienced individuals to distinguish between native frogs and invasive cane toads, particularly when they are young. As a result, well-intentioned efforts could lead to detrimental consequences for Australia's native frog species.
Lastly, the lecturer opposes using a disease-causing virus as a means of controlling cane toad populations as proposed in the reading passage. She emphasizes that such an approach could have disastrous effects on ecosystems where cane toads are native species, such as Central and South America. The lecturer explains that reptiles and amphibians from Australia might be transported internationally for research or pet trade purposes; if these animals carry the virus with them, it could decimate native cane toad populations in their original habitats. This would lead not only endanger cane toads but also disrupt entire ecosystems, as they play a vital role in their native environments.
In summary, the lecturer casts doubt on each of the solutions presented in the reading passage by providing counterarguments and highlighting potential negative consequences. By examining the effectiveness of a national fence, the potential harm caused by volunteer efforts, and the risks associated with using a virus, she effectively challenges the reading's proposed methods for controlling cane toad populations in Australia.

Both the reading and the lecturer discuss the measures to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia. The lecturer challenges several points made in the reading, providing counterarguments that cast doubt on the effectiveness of the methods mantioned in the reading. Firstly, while the reading suggests that a national fence should be established to prevent the spread of the toad as it has been successfully adopted in the case of rabbit, the professor disputes this by arguing that the national fence could possibly be useless. Because the young toads and their eggs typically live in rivers and streams which carries them easily through the national fences. Therefore, cane toads could colonize new areas without any barriers. Furthermore, the reading contends that the toads can be captured and destroyed by volunteers for they can easily be caught especially for their youngs and eggs. However, though the professor agrees that this method is considerably effective, he maintains that it results in severe environmental problems and could errorly harm some scarce frog species when they are young and vulnerable. Additionally, the reading claims that researchers can develope a specially designed disease-causing virus to control the cane toad population. On the country, the professor emphasizes that the virus would potentially harm the king toad whose original habitat is in South America. The virus released in Austraslia could affect Autralia repitile which normally be carried to other remote areas by inspectors. Thereby, the king toads living native in South America could also be affected, leading to an environmental disaster for this little creature plays an important role in the native ecosystem.

Section Title: 6. Article Revision
Both the reading and the lecturer discuss the measures to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia. The lecturer challenges several points made in the reading, providing counterarguments that cast doubt on the effectiveness of the methods mentioned in the reading.
Firstly, while the reading suggests that a national fence should be established to prevent the spread of the toad as it has been successfully adopted in the case of rabbits, the professor disputes this by arguing that such a fence could possibly be useless. This is because young toads and their eggs typically live in rivers and streams which can carry them easily through any barriers. Therefore, cane toads could colonize new areas without any obstacles.
Furthermore, the reading contends that volunteers can capture and destroy cane toads since they can easily be caught, especially their young and eggs. However, although the professor agrees that this method may be somewhat effective, he maintains that it could result in severe environmental problems and mistakenly harm some scarce frog species when they are young and vulnerable.
Additionally, the reading claims that researchers can develop a specially designed disease-causing virus to control cane toad populations. In contrast, the professor emphasizes that this virus would potentially harm king toads whose original habitat is in South America. The virus released in Australia could affect Australian reptiles which are often carried to other remote areas by inspectors or pet collectors. Thereby, king toads living natively in South America could also be affected, leading to an environmental disaster since these creatures play an important role in their native ecosystem.

The reading passage presents several measures to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia, but the lecture disputes these reasons by explaining several examples. Firstly, the reading passage says that building a national fence can prevent the spread of the toads. However, the lecture disputes this by saying that it may not stop the spread of the toads because there are rivers and streams carrying young toads eggs. Therefore, the young toads eggs may flow from one side to the other sides. In this way, it may not be a practical way to stop the spread of the toads. Secondly, the reading says that volunteers can capture and destroy the toads.The reading disputes this idea by saying that it may inadvertently destroy the frogs. Since it is difficult to identify the cane toads from the frogs, especially when they are too young. So this may not be a good solution to do so. Thirdly, a disease-causing virus is developed by researchers to control the cane toad populations. The lecture asserts that it may destroy the original habitats of cane toads in America. Since the virus may be transported to America by pack collectors. And because of that, it may devastate the population of the native species there. And since the native species are in limited and they are linked to other creatures there. So the eco-system will suffer if the native species are destroyed. And because of that, developing a disease-causing virus is not a good solution.

4.文章结构与组织 The essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body, and conclusion. However, there is room for improvement in terms of organization and coherence. The introduction could be more concise and clearly state the purpose of the essay. Additionally, each body paragraph should focus on one specific point from the lecture and provide supporting details from both the reading and listening passages. Clear transitions between ideas and paragraphs should also be present.
Example 1 (Before): The reading passage presents several measures to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia, but the lecture disputes these reasons by explaining several examples. Example 1 (After): The reading passage proposes three solutions to stop the spread of cane toads in Australia; however, the lecture challenges each of these solutions by providing counterarguments.
Example 2 (Before): In this way, it may not be a practical way to stop the spread of the toads. Example 2 (After): Thus, due to the inability of a fence to completely block waterways, it may not be a practical solution for stopping the spread of cane toads.

The reading passage proposes several measures to halt the spread of the cane toad in Australia, but the lecture casts doubt on these solutions by providing counterarguments.
Firstly, the reading passage suggests that constructing a national fence could prevent the toads from spreading. However, the lecture contends that this may not be effective due to rivers and streams carrying young toads and their eggs from one side of the fence to the other. As a result, this method may not be practical in stopping the spread of cane toads.
Secondly, the reading states that volunteers could capture and destroy the toads. The lecture challenges this idea by pointing out that untrained volunteers might inadvertently harm native frogs, some of which are endangered species. Distinguishing between cane toads and native frogs can be difficult, especially when they are young, making this approach potentially harmful.
Lastly, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus as a means of controlling cane toad populations, according to the reading passage. The lecture argues that employing such a virus could have disastrous consequences for cane toads in their original habitats in Central and South America. The virus could be transported by reptiles or amphibians taken from Australia for research or pet collection purposes. Once introduced into Central and South America, it could devastate native cane toad populations and disrupt their ecosystems since they are an essential part of these environments. Consequently, using a disease-causing virus may not be an appropriate solution either. (247 words)
