[3차] K-T Extinction

[박진흠]

[1차]

  In the reading passage, the lecturer casts doubt on the reading passage's argument that volcanic activity affected greatly to K-T extinction. She maintains that the reading is somewhat wrong and less convincing, saying that asteroid theory is more valid than volcano theory.

  For openers, the crater which was found in 1980 in the seafloor off the east coast of Mexico seems to be an evidence of not the volcano eruption but an asteroid impact. The reading passage insists that the Earth was destroyed greatly by smithereens of rock when they first rose high up the sky due to the eruption and then fell down to the ground. However, the lecture suggests the solution that the age of the crater matches up with the timing of asteroid effect.

  In addition, she sort of agrees with the author that noxious materials such as sulfur, carbon dioxide, and dust in the atmosphere prevented living beings from getting enough sunlight. Also, she points out that it was due to asteroid clash even though the point the author made is that they also caused greenhouse effect.

  Lastly, the reading passage mentions that almost the same timing of both volcanic activity and extinction of many living species is ascribed to K-T extinction. However, she focuses on the that the high rise of volcano activity was brought about after quite a lot of species began to disappear. That exactly shows that asteroid impact has more thing to do with K-T extinction than volcano eruption.

The reading passage insists that the Earth was destroyed greatly by smithereens of rock when they first rose high up the sky due to the eruption and then fell down to the ground. However, the lecture suggests the solution that both the age of the crater matches up with the timing of asteroid effect and the size and shape exactly describe an asteroid impact.

  In addition, she sort of agrees with the author that noxious materials such as sulfur, carbon dioxide, and dust in the atmosphere prevented living beings from getting enough sunlight. Also, she points out that worldwide radium layer explains that astroid once hit the earth due to the fact that radium is common in asteroids while it is not in the Earth. These points are very different from the reading passage which also suggests the possibility of greenhouse effect.

  Lastly, the reading passage mentions that almost the same timing of both volcanic activity and extinction of many living species is ascribed to K-T extinction.

  In the listening, the lecturer casts doubt on the reading passage's argument that volcano activities are responsible for K-T extinction, which made dinosaurs extinct 65 million years ago. She maintains that the reading is somewhat wrong, less convincing, and quite overgeneralized, saying that the main cause of this event was ateroid impact.

  To begin with, the reading insists that an enormous crater off the coast of Mexico, which was formed by debris from volcanic explosions, is the strong evidence for volcanism. On the other hand, the professor refutes that argument by saying that the crater was instead formed by an asteroid impact. This is because the size and the shape of the crater are consistent with the expected form of an asteroid crater. Also, the period when the crater was created is identical to that of K-T extinction.

  The second point the authors makes is that volcanoes expelled huge amounts of gas and dust into the air, blocking out sunlight and cooling the Earth. Consequently, the food chain was destructed and most essentially, most plants and animals died out. However, the speaker disregards this explanation by claiming that the toxic substances in the atmosphere were actually caused by the forceful impact of an asteroid. She notes the discovery of a layer of iridium in the Earth's crust as evidence of the impact since iridium is hardly found elsewhere on Earth.

  Finally, the reading contends that the timing of Deccan Trap activity corresponds to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs so closely that it cannot be a coincidence. In contrast, the professor counters this claim, suggesting that Deccan Trap activity began well before the exinction. Rather, its timing is exactly same as the supposed timing of the asteroid impact, providing this theory is virtually correct. Therefore, the lecturer concludes that the volcanism theory mentioned in the reading is too preposterous to gain legitimacy.

거의 다 첫째 샘플을 본따서 했습니다.

물론 그대로 쓴 부분도 있고 제가 고친 것도 있지만

거의 베낀 수준입니다,,

그래도 일단은 독립형을 시작했을 때처럼 틀을 잡는 데에 주력했습니다...

그리고 질문이 있는데요,,

disregard라는 단어는 너무 극단적이지 않을까요.....

샘플과 저의 1, 2차의

두드러진 차이는,,

일단 샘플에서 리딩의 이야기를 먼저 한 뒤에 리슨닝의 반박 내용을 들었지만 저는 왔다갔다 한 점,,

또 샘플이 contend, insist, cast doubt on, argument, counter, claim, disregard 등 어휘가 풍부하네요..

물론 내용상으로도 샘플이 더 요점을 잘 찾아 내었고요,,

보내 주신 두 샘플 중

전체적으로 첫째 샘플이 더 좋아보이지만

2째 포인트는 둘째 샘플에서 더 정확히 집은 것 같습니다...

다만 3째 포인트에서 millions and millions of years over, the Deccan Traps were formed,,

가 문제가 있지 않나 생각합니다... millions인지 아닌지는 알 수 없지 않나요?

그래 일단 틀을 잡는데 주력하자...시험 채점 사항을 따르다 보면 왜 다양한 어휘를 사용해야 하는지 알게 된다...disregard라는 동사는 주의를 기울이지 않고 경시하거나 무시하다 라는 뜻을 갖고 있다...만약 누군가가 어떤 다른 사람의 말에 주의를 기울이지 않거나 경시한다면 그사람의 말에 반대한다고 생각해도 틀리지 않을 것이다...또한 통합형 라이팅은 결국 읽기 지문의 세가지 주장에 반대하는 형식을 따르기 때문에 누앙스상 반대하거나 집중하지 않는다고 표현하는 것은 큰 무리가 있어 보이진 않는다...

그리고 organization을 고려해서 읽기 지문을 설명하고 강의내용의 반대내용을 설명하는 것이 네글을 읽는 ETS시험관 입장에서 더 쉬울것이다...그러나 그러다 보면 판에 박힌 썼던 말을 반복하게 되는데 그것을 피하기 위해서 풍부한 동의어나 구 혹은 절을 병행하는 것은 좋은 표현려을 보여 주는 것이 될것이다...

[박진흠]

네!!

[디오리지날뉴아자speaKing쌤]

마지막으로 오래전이라고 표현하는 것에 숫자가 들어가는 표현들이 있는데 그것은 정확히 그정도의 량을 의미하기 보다는 그정도 짧거나 길다는 의미다...예를들어 just a second please!라고 말했을때 과연 1초만 기다리라는 말일까? 하하하...수고했고...앞서서 밝혔듯이...틀에 집중해라...그리고 너만의 틀이 익숙해지고 다른 주제로 연습할때 틀이 변하지 않은 상태에서 내용의 자유함을 즐긴다면 어떤 다른 내용도 채워갈 수 있을것이다....홧팅...곧 다른 문제를 보내주마...홧팅...

참 시험은 언제 끝나니?
