TPO 48 - Integrated Writing Task

The issue both the reading and the listening focus on is population decline of frogs, but the listening casts doubt at three main points.

At the first point, the reading states that pesticides cause bad effect on frogs, they usually spread from farmland to nearby habitats of frogs. For this reason, the law of eliminating the use of them by farmers will be beneficial. According to the listening, this kind of law will be unfair in the economic field. The farmers near the frogs' habitats can get disadvantage results. These include losing crops and lower yield.

At the second point, the reading believes that fungi can cause dehydration in frogs because frogs use their skin to take in water. There are several methods can protect them from infection. On the contrary, the listening argues that these have to be applied in each individual, but it is difficult on a large scale. In addition, these also have to be repeated with the new generation of frogs. All show that this method is expensive and complicated.

At the last point, the reading mentions that frogs rely so much on water habitat, so the excessive water use of humans can make a huge threat to their population. Giving insurance to these habitats is an effective way. However, the listening confirms that these activities of humans are not the biggest causes. The biggest is global warming. It forces many water habitats to dry. In that case, the protection from the activities of humans is not effective.
