In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations. First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs. A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection. Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
In the reading passage, the author descusses three kinds of the problems caused to the decline the number of the frogs and sometimes their extiction and gives solutions to those problems, while the lecturer claims that what the reading passages states is not feasible and disputes those solutions presented in the reading passage by several proofs.
The belief in the reading passage is that human can help to save the frog population, if some laws prohibit formers from useing the harmful pesticides. However, the speaker refutes those cailmand says thie solutions isn't economical. The formers lose lots of their crobs, if they don't use the pesticides for their crobs.
Second, the writer states that the seperation off the fungus around the world is the main cause of the frogs decline. On the other hand, there are some treatments to kill the fungus and if this treat ment uses in the large scale, it will protect the frog populations from infection. By contraste, the lecturer views to this issue from an opposite angle. According with the lecturer, treatment should be use to the individual frogs. Therefore, it is unpractical. Moreover, this treat should be use regulary, since it don't develop to their offsprings.
Thrid, the writer argues that the frog population decline becouse their natural habitats are threatened. Therefore, by saving lakes and marshell it id possiable to save the frogs, while the speaker, demonastrates a different idea that frongs declined bocause if the climate changes exticts lots of the spices whicth is lived in the lacks and marshaels.
