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 insec

The reading passage makes three suggestions, to cease the spread of the cane toad in Australia which destroys the grains of farmers, including to build a fence, collect volunteers or develop a disease or virus. However, the lecturer cast doubts each idea of the author.

First and foremost, the article suggests that the fence will block the toads to enter to the parts of Australia that are toad-free. On the other hand, the professor rejected that point by saying that the young toads live in marine, so, even though where the fence is, they could not block the cane to spread. According to him, it is not an effective way.

Secondly, the passage indicates that volunteers could destroy the young canes because they live in water and also easy to catch. Also, the government can organize the campaign to collect them. In contrast, the lecturer clarified that inexperienced volunteers could hunt the frogs instead of young canes. He also argued that people may damage the economic system by declining the native frog population.

Finally, the reading claims that people can control the population of cane toad by developing a virus or diseases between the cane toads. Nonetheless, the lecturer made a counterclaim to the idea by explaining that the virus can spread to America by toads which may harmful for the native American cane toads. He also insisted that it may have terrible consequences for the population of canes all over the world.
