Essay topics:

The golden frog is a small bright-yellow amphibian that lives in and around mountain streams in Panama The species is severely endangered because of a fungus that infects the frog through its skin and inhibits the frog's critical life functions, such as breathing. Conservationists have proposed a few solutions to the golden frog's fungus problem.
Bacterial Protection
First, scientists have identified a natural enemy of the fungus: a type of bacterium. This bacterium produces a chemical that kills fungal cells. Scientists think that they may be able to introduce colonies of this bacterium to the skin of golden frogs. The bacterial colonies would then protect the frogs against the fungus infection
Breeding Frogs in Captivity
Second, researchers are considering the possibility of breeding golden frogs in captivity and then releasing them in the wild to replenish wild populations The golden frog can develop disease-free in captivity; where it is isolated from the fungus When golden frogs bred in captivity are released in habitats where wild golden frogs have died out, the frogs bred in captivity will give rise to a healthy, fungus-free population.
A Natural Defense
Third, it is possible that golden frogs w川 overcome the threat posed by the fungus without human intervention. Some golden frogs have what seems to be a natural defense against the fungus. When infected, they increase their body temperature, which slows down the growth of the fungus If this ability to resist the fungal infection spreads among the golden frog population as a whole, the frog population is likely to overcome the crisis and start increasing again.

The reading and lecture are both about the protection strategies of the golden frogs from the fungal infection. While the reading provides three different remedial measures for this problem, the lecturer refutes each of them and claims that those were not effective.
To begin with, the reading says that fungal problems can be controlled by using the bacteria; these produce a chemical that kills the fungi. Additionally, it says that scientists were planned to introduce a colony of bacteria to the body of the golden frog. However, the lecturer challenges the claim made by the author. He points out that although bacterial introduction would work for a brief amount of time, it does not sustain for a long period. He elaborated on it that this practice would be temporary due to the stop of bacterial colonization on a later period.
On the same note, the author says that the breeding of frogs in captivity reduces the fungal problems. It illustrates that after the breeding process it would be left to its initial habitat, and as a result, it would produce a fungal-free offspring. The professor, on the other hand, argues that although a frog releases from captivity would be disease-free, it would soon get infected after keeping in contact with other wild-population in its habitat. He clarifies that other populations previously present in a wild condition is infected. Consequently, this solution does not work.
Finally, the writer posits that with the help of a natural defense mechanism, rising body temperature, it can fight with the fungal pathogens, which finally solve the problems. On the contrary, the listening passage contends that with the increase in body temperature, it would expend more amount of energy. According to it," when there is a loss of energy from the body, it would become weak and susceptible to the diseases".
