Essay topics

The passage and the lecture debate on the three methods that have been proposed to help solve the problem of the decrease trend in frog populations. The passage points out that people should issue a law that prohibits the farmers from using pesticides, apply treatments to prevent infection of fungi, cut down the use of excessive water. However, the lecture is not for that.

To begin with, the passage contends that pesticides can be harmful of frogs and thus farmers whose farmlands are near frog habitats are not allowed to use pesticides. By contrast, the lecture disagrees. Because it is not ecological and not fair. Especially, it is not fair for farmers to stay competition. If the government has strict regulation on the use of pesticides, whose farmlands near frog habitats will loss more crops and thus will have less yield compared with others, which is really unfair.

What is more, the passage argues that antifungal medication and treatments can be applied to prevent infection of fungi, which is contradicted by the lecture. The lecture holds the view that the population is really a large scale and each area needs treatment, which cost a lot to achieve that. What is worse, the treatments cannot pass on to others, which will require people to apply this again and again to each generation.

Finally, according to the passage, if the water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use, frogs' population would recover. However, the lecture disagrees with that because it is the global warming that threatens the natural habitats. To be honest, human misconduct is not the major reason of the decline of natural habitats. As a consequence, though human stop using excessive water, it may not save the frog populations.
