TPO-07 - Integrated Writing Task In an effort to encourage ecologically sustainable forestry practices, an international organization started issuing certifications to wood companies that meet high ecological standards by conserving resources and recyclin

The lecture claims that receiving the eco-certification will benefit American wood company. This doesn’t agree with that of the passage, which assumes that the wood companies pay less attention to the certificate.

First of all, the lecture arguing that American consumers don’t treat all the advertisement the same. They prefer to trust the independent agencies rather than companies. A company with a certificate issued by those agencies definitely earns more trust from consumers. However, the passage refutes that American consumers don’t trust the advertising because of the overexposure of the advantage of mediocre products.

Secondly, lecture suggests that consumers choose cheaper product instead of expensive one only when the latter price is much higher than the former one. Otherwise consumers choice will end up with the quality rather than the price. This statement is not in line with what is written in the passage that consumers are strongly motivated by the price so they will choose the uncertificated company with lower price.

The third point of difference between the lecture and passage concerns that if the certificate will boost US companies’ selling domestically. The lecture asserts that it’s necessary for American companies to get certificate if they want to become more competitive than those certificated foreign companies in the market. Nevertheless, the passage contends that the targets of American companies are almost US people who are satisfied with the merchandize.
