TPO-15 - Integrated Writing Task
The cane toad is a large (1.8 kg) amphibian species native to Central and South America. It was deliberately introduced to Australia in 1935 with the expectation that it would protect farmers' crops by eating harmful insects. Unfortunately, the toad multiplied rapidly, and a large cane toad population now threatens small native animals that are not pests. Several measures have been proposed to stop the spread of the cane toad in Australia.
One way to prevent the spread of the toad would be to build a national fence. A fence that blocks the advance of the toads will prevent them from moving into those parts of Australia that they have not yet colonized. This approach has been used before: a national fence was erected in the early part of the twentieth century to prevent the spread of rabbits, another animal species that was introduced in Australia from abroad and had a harmful impact on its native ecosystems.
Second, the toads could be captured and destroyed by volunteers. Cane toads can easily be caught in simple traps and can even be captured by hand. Young toads and cane toad eggs are even easier to gather and destroy,since they are restricted to the water. If the Australian government were to organize a campaign among Australian citizens to join forces to destroy the toads, the collective effort might stop the toad from spreading.
Third, researchers are developing a disease-causing virus to control the cane toad populations. This virus will be specially designed: although it will be able to infect a number of reptile and amphibian species, it will not harm most of the infected species; it will specifically harm only the cane toads. The virus will control the population of cane toads by preventing them from maturing and reproducing.
The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the negative effects of cane toad in austrailia. In the reading passage, the author mentions that while cane toads intruduced from south America to austrailia, their populations increased rapidly and caused a serious treatment for small native animals instead of insects and pests. In the listening part, however, the speaker challenges the what the author states and refutes the reasons.
To begin with, as mentioned in the article, the writer sets forth that national fences can control moving of cane toads to colonize on the other side of the Australia; nevertheless, the professor rebutes the reasons asserting that control of population of these animal will not be easy to rid of, causing national damage. Indeed, although fences are a national ban for mature frogs, their eggs and young one's can carry through the fences; therefore, fences could not be effective.
Secondly,the author points out that individuals and residents can capture and ruin them easy, nontheless, the speaker flatly contradicts the reasons and contends that this species is difficult to distinguish by people and maybe they captured other amphibian, so do destroy other ones too.
Finally, the author claims that scientists discover a virus which is control cane toads and kill them although it has effect on reptiles too. In contrast, the professor is of the opinion that the virus could be transported by pet collectors to native homeland of cane toads, hence it could devastated the national specious. therefore, whole ecosystem would be suffered by this virus.
