Essay topics

The lecturer casts doubt on the three methods provided by the reading passage to protect the declining frog species. She states that none of them is practical, even though they are seemingly acceptable. She points out that problems exist in each of the methods in reading passage.

The problem of the first method is that it is not economically to prohibit the use of pesticides in sensitive areas. According to the lecturer, farmers rely on pesticides to prevent insects from their corps to obtain a remarkable harvest. If farmers in the sensitive areas are prohibited to use pesticides, there will be a severe disadvantage for them compared to the farmers in other areas. Thus, they will lose the competing between themselves and other farmers, which is a damage to their life.

In addition, the flaw of the second method is that it is difficult to apply the treatments to frogs on a large scale, which is a contradiction to the reading passage. The lecturer emphasizes that the treating method should be applied on each frog to prevent infection from the fungus. As a result, researchers are supposed to apply the treatments again and again to each new generation of frogs, which is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, the lecturer mentions that, although it is beneficial for the environment to protect water habits, it will still not save frogs. She contends that the excessive water use by human acctivities is not the biggest problem to frog species, while global warming is indeed the most harmful problem to frogs. We are supposed to focus more on solving global warming rather than only protecting water habitats for frogs, because it is unlikely to prevent the declining of frog species by only protecting water habitis, which implies that the third method presented in the reading passage suffers from some flaws.
