In the past century, the steady growth of the human population and the corresponding increase in agriculture and pesticide use have caused much harm to wildlife in the United States,birds in particular. Unfortunately for birds, these trends are likely to continue, with the result that the number of birds in the United States will necessarily decline. First, as human populations and settlements continue to expand, birds' natural habitats will continue to disappear. Forests, wetlands, and grasslands will give way to ever more homes, malls, and offices. As the traditional areas suitable for birds keep decreasing, so will the size of the bird populations that depend on those vanishing habitats. Second, agricultural activities must increase to keep pace with the growing human population. The growth of agriculture will also result in the further destruction of bird habitats asmore and more wilderness areas are converted to agricultural use. As a result, bird populations in rural areas will continue to decline. Third, as human settlements expand and agriculture increases, the use ofchemical pesticides will also increase. Pesticides are poisons designed to kill agricultural and home garden pests, such as insects, but inevitably, pesticides get into the water and into the food chain for birds where they can harm birds. Birds that eat the poisoned insects or drink contaminated water can die as a result, and even if pesticides do not kill birds outright, they can prevent them from reproducing successfully. Sopesticides have significantly contributed to declines in bird population, and because there will continue to be a need to control agricultural pests in the future, this decline will continue.

In the reading passage, the author discusses three kinds of the ways that will effect the birds population in the future, while the lecturer claims that what the reading passage states is not convincing and disputes all of the ways presented in the reading passage by several proofs.

First, both the text and the talk discusses about the idea of the steady growth in the human population. In this regard, the belief in the reading passage is that human will continue to disappear birds habitats since they need more place to locate growing human population. the speaker admits growing in human population and the settlements affect, but not as the reading passage states. According to the speaker, it will effect some bird species not all.

Second, both the reading and the listening material put forth the idea of the agricultural activities. In this vein, the writer states that agricultural activities have to increase to feed all of the human population which in and of itself will distract the birds population because more and more land will be used for agricultural purposes, while the lecturer views to this issue is from an apposite angle. According to the lecturer, in United States in each passing year, fewer and fewer land were used for plant crops because of the new productive crops.

Third, the author in the reading passage make point that more pesticides will use in the agriculture area which in turn will harm the birds population. On the other hand, the professor illustrates that it is true about the traditional pesticides. Also, new important development will change process. First is the new less toxin pesticides and second crops which is more resistance against the pests.
