Essay topics: TPO-42 - Integrated Writing Task

Glass is a favored building material for modern architecture, yet it is also very dangerous for wild birds. Because they often cannot distinguish between glass and open air, millions of birds are harmed every year when they try to fly through glass windows There are, however, several solutions that responsible businesses can use to prevent injuries to birds.

One-Way Glass

One solution is to replace the regular, clear glass with one-way glass that is transparent in only one direction. The occupants of the building can see out, but birds and others cannot see in. If birds cannot see through a window, they will understand that the glass forms a solid barrier and will not try to fly through it.

Colorful Designs

A second solution is to paint colorful lines or other designs on regular window glass. For example, a window could have a design of thin stripes painted over the glass. People would still be able to see through the openings in the design where there is no paint, while birds would see the stripes and thus avoid trying to fly through the glass Architects can be encouraged to include colorful painted patterns on glass as part of the general design of buildings.

Magnetic Field

The third solution is to create an artificial magnetic held to guide birds away from buildings. Humans use an instrument called a magnetic compass to determine directions-either north, south, east, or west. Bird research has shown that birds have a natural ability to sense Earth’s magnetic fields; this ability works just like a compass, and it helps birds navigate in the right direction when they fly. A building in a bird flight path can be equipped with powerful electromagnets that emit magnetic signals that steer birds in a direction away from the building.

The reading passage proposes three solutions to prevent birds from flying through glass windows on buildings and getting injured. However, the lecturer indicates that the three proposals will not work.

First of all, the speaker states that the one-way glass is going to be as bad as regular glass for birds. He further explains that one-way glass will reflect light like a mirror. As a result, birds could see reflections of the sky or a tree on the glass and think it's real then try to fly right through it.

Second, the professor also casts doubt on the idea of having colorful designs with some unpainted areas on the regular glass. He argues that birds might perceive the clear areas as open holes and try to pass through them as well.

Lastly, the lecturer holds that birds use their magnetic sense only when traveling long distance such as from one country to another. On the other hand, They do not depend on the earth's magnetic field while flying a short distance. They most likely use their eyes and brightness of light as guidance. Consequently, a source of magnetic signals on the structure will not steer birds away from the building.
