TPO 28- integrated writing - Peary's trip to the North Pole
The author of the reading passage believes that arctic expelorer named peary actually reached the north pole. Supporting his opinion he provided three reasons. The professor, however, rejects his arguments as follows.
To begin with, the writer of the reading passage states that a group of investigators of National Geographic Society conducted a research about the acurracy of the peary's records and claim, which accurately demonstrated that he was right about his claim. this, however is rebutted by the professor arguing that the committe was a couple of peary's friends in fact. therefore, they could not be considered as a creadible individuals to prove the accuracy of his claim. this is in direct contradiction to what the reading passage mentioned about the investigations on the peary's claim.
In addition, unlike the writer who maintains that the recent expedition on the north pole by Tom avery lasted less than 37 days which could be another proof to the accuracy of peary's claim, the lecturer is of the opinion that avery's expedition was far different from that of peary's. Simply because he is with an airplain which provided him with food supplies. therefore, avery's dogsled carried much less wiegh which led to more speed. this is also in sharp contrast to the reading reasoning regarding the same speed of dogsled used by both avery and peary.
Finally, while the writer asserts that the photographes which has been taken by peary can illustrate that he was actually in the north pole, the lecturer refutes this argument and points out that his primary camera was not able to take clear photos. We have just a few faded and blured photos whose pictures cannot tell us exactely where they were taken. Again this is another blow to the integrity of the arguments put forth by the author of the reading passage.
For these reasons, the lecturer dismisses the authors arguments as unconvincing.
