TPO-18 - Integrated Writing Task In the 1950s Torreya taxifoha, a type of evergreen tree once very common in the state of Florida, started to die out. No one is sure exactly what caused the decline, but chances are good that if nothing is done, Torreya wi

The reader claims three possible ways to protect the Torreya from retrograding and provides reasons for support. On the other hand, the professor counters each specific points and presents clues to call into the information in the passage. Moreover, he says ideas of replanting the Torreya non-productive and groundless.

First, the reader discusses the replanting the plant in the same location, this means surviving the Terreya in the north part of Florida. The professor casts doubt on this point by explaining the ideas is not worthwhile because all of the areas threatened by the global warming, and each parts of Florida will suffer from the drying.

Second, the reader states the relocation of the Torreya to the new place with the better chance of the climate. The professor argues this point by telling that the outcomes and results of the new location growth cannot be predicted, and we did that before, and the consequence shocks us, due to the overgrowth of the transfer plant and the competition with the original plant for the resources. So the Native plants also may undergo dropping.

Third, the reader disputes the planting of the Torreyainthe lab, so there is more chance to control the weathers and special requirements. Conversely, the speaker encounters this by saying we cannot provide the plant with all these resources especially those related to the safety of the plant and protected them from diseases, because of the new growth plant cannot survive for a long time. Further more the presence of the plant in their original location gives them more resistance to capture the disease due to their larger population.
