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 the

The reading and the lecture are both about the wild birds. The article states that modern architecture is using glass for constructing buildings, which causes harm to many birds and provides three solutions for support. However, the lecturer says that these solutions cannot stop birds from flying through the glass and refutes each of the author's points.

First, the article conveys that replacing the clear glass with one-way glass would be one solution to avoid injuries to birds. On the other hand, the lecturer refutes this point by saying that the one-way glass would appear like a mirror and it reflects the images. Moreover, the birds see the images like sky and trees when the glass is reflected and fly into it, which is more dangerous than the normal one.

Second, the text explains that another solution is to paint stripes on the glass where the bird can see it like a solid and stops flying into it. However, the lecturer opposes this point by saying that the birds perceive them as open holes and would fly through it.

Third, the article claims that one more solution is to create an artificial magnetic field which guides the birds to fly away from the buildings. Nevertheless, the lecturer says that the magnetic field in the birds will help them to travel long distances like when they move or migrate from cold weathers to warm. In addition, this field would not be used for shorter distance. They see with their eyes and by using brightness to travel a shorter distance. Hence, this solution would not have much effect on birds.
