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 reading and the lecture both discuss about Torreya taxifoha tree. The author of the reading believes that there are some reasons about declining the population of these trees. On the other hand, the lecturer opposes reading's reasons by providing detailed information.
First, the author claims that the first solution is to reestablish this tree in the exact same location. The professor challenged this reason by explaining about global warming issue. She thinks that the temperature will go high and the area will be dry, so there is no suitable condition for the trees to survive.
Second, the author of the reading mentions that there is another way to help these trees to live longer. Author claims that moving this tree to another climate which is colder would be effective. The lecturer rebuts this point. He states that humans did the same research for another tree, but they did not get the pleasant result. She points out that there are many unpredictable problems in this solution. She says about some dying examples in the sample experiment.
Finally, The reading says that researchers can preserve this kind of tree in the research centers. In the contrast, the lecturer refutes this point. She believes that there is not enough space in the research centers to keep these seeds perfectly. Undoubtedly, she thinks the capacity of the center is a huge factor for surviving these trees in the long term.
