Essay topics:


Because of climate change, more and more land that was once used to grow crops or provide food for animals is turning to dry, unusable desert land. There are many proposals about how to stop this process, known as desertification. A number of proposals involve growing trees, because trees can help protect soil and provide many other benefits to fight against desertification. Some scientists have proposed that the best way to grow trees in dry areas in danger of desertification is by using a box-shaped device surrounding the young tree. The device collects water that condenses from vapor in the atmosphere and helps the tree to grow. However, other scientists believe that this device will not be successful in fighting against desertification for the following reasons.
First, at a cost of 25 U S. dollars each, the device would make growing trees a prohibitively expensive process. Meaningful efforts to fight desertification involve growing millions of trees. Some countries most affected by desertification cannot afford to buy devices for millions of trees
Second, plans for fighting desertification involve asking local people to install and maintain the devices. People living in some of the areas most affected by desertification work long days in harsh conditions: sometimes barely managing to provide food for their families. It would be difficult to motivate these people to look after trees that cannot serve as a source of food for them.
Third, the device's ability to collect and conserve water is limited. Each one provides only enough water to keep a small tree alive. Trees that have outgrown the device have to deal with unforgiving environmental conditions on their own. In some places where the devices are being tried, six months can pass without a drop of rain. Once the trees become too big for the device, they may not be able to survive in such a harsh environment.

The text and the lecture are both relating to the use of box-shaped devices in order to address the disertification challenge. While the writer of the passage feels there are some prominent problems in exploiting those devices, the professor dimisses the reasons made in the text. She believes those equipments are worthwhile to be employed against the desertification issue.
To begin with, both argue the cost of devices. The author claims that they are expensive to be used widely in order to be effective. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this statement. She explains that each device can be reused, so the price must be divided to the times they are going to be emplyed for several trees. As a result, it is clearly reasonable to think about them as a not costly solution.
Secondly, the writer put forth the notion that people who should use those instruments are struggling with food scarcity, thus it is impossible to encourage them to care for trees, which can not produce any food for them. On contrary, the professor disputes this explanation as well. She goes on to describe that those devices can be used for accumulating the water for other plants, such as vegetables.In addition, the branches of the trees after growing could also be employed for fire works. Obviously, peope can be motivated by those mentioned advantages.
The last point in the reading is that, the writer thinks that those devices can only be helpful for small trees. They will lose their effectiveness when trees have gorwn big. However, the woman in the lecture rejects this statement too. She underscores that trees can survive even after the removal of devices. The reason is that they have long-grown roots underground than can contribute to their survival. She also points out a real case that trees have continued surviving after two years of the time the devices have been taken out.
