Task 1
Both the lecture and the article are about the advantages and drawbacks of using box-shaped devices to solve desertification dilemma. While the article states that these devices are unlikely to be helpful in the plant growing process, the lecturer disputes the claims mentioned in the article. She stated that the arguments in the article are not convincing.
To begin with, the article points out that installing and maintaining box-shaped devices around trees is expensive process and required millions of dollars annually. According to the article, many countries cannot afford this method. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims that the cost of the device is reasonable. She explains that devices can be removed after trees grow and reused on other trees for twenty times.
Secondly. the article suggests that people who live in these areas are not motivated enough to look after devices. The article notes that those people have to work hard to provide food for their families. The lecturer, on the other hand, asserts that rewarding those people is a possible way to motivate them. She goes on to say that there are two methods can be done so people will be enthusiasm to assist in this process, first allow them use devices for their own vegetables, and they can use the branches of big trees for fire.
Finally, the author puts forth the idea that after removing the devices, big trees are not capable to handle the harsh conditions. In contrast, the lecturer claims that devices help trees to grow long roots, which can easily reach the underground water. She says that trees in Sahara still thriving even after two years of removing devices.
