TPO-22 - Integrated Writing Task Ethanol fuel, made from plants such as corn and sugar cane, has been advocated by some people as an alternative to gasoline in the United States. However, many critics argue that ethanol is not a good replacement for gasol

The author of the reading passage and the professor both discuss whether or not using the ethanol replaces the gasoline is a good idea. The author is against this idea by expressing three theories. However, the professor thinks that the author's reasons contain some defects.

First of all, the author states that when the ethanol burns, it still release the carbon dioxide into the air. Therefore, the ethanol fuel is no better than gasoline. On the contrary, the professor indicates that although burning will release the carbon dioxide, the process of growing the ethanol will absorb the carbon dioxide to get nutrition.

In addition, the author claims that if the ethanol is considered as fuel, the amount of food for animals would reduce. However, the professor asserts that the part of plants used for the fuel is cell wall. And animals don't eat cell wall for food. Therefore, the food still available for animals, even the ethanol is used for the fuel.

Finally, the author raises the point that without the government helping for producers, the ethanol fuel price will increase significantly. On the other hand, the professor refutes this idea by saying that if there are 3 times for people to use the ethanol fuel, the price of the ethanol would drop down 40 percent.
