Example

The reading passage suggests the concept of the "will-o'-the-wisp" and provides three assertions to explain this phenomenon. However, the speaker disputes these ideas, presenting three direct counterarguments.

 

Firstly, she argues that the idea of chemical reactions being responsible for the light - as posited in the reading passage - might be incorrect. The color of light generated by this phenomenon is green, which differs from known gas light colors. Thus, she believes that chemical reactions couldn't be the primary reason.

 

Secondly, she clarifies differences between types of lights demonstrated by insects and those observed in this phenomenon. While acknowledging that insects can generate light, she points out their illumination tends to spread out or blink — significantly different from what's observed in will-o'-the-wisp sightings. Therefore, she doesn't think insects are likely to be a major source of this light.

 

Lastly, she questions whether an owl could be a key source of light - as suggested in the reading passage - especially refuting it due to color discrepancies. The owl's light is white while will-o'-the-wisp lights are known to appear green; hence her total denial of this assertion.

 

Example*

The reading passage suggests the primary reason for the Anasazi people's migration, providing three assertions to support this claim. However, the speaker disputes these ideas, presenting three direct counterarguments.

 

Firstly, she doubts the validity of malnutrition as evidence for migration, as posited in the reading passage. Malnutrition was a common issue among Anasazi people, regardless of whether they were experiencing bountiful seasons with relatively more nutrition. Therefore, she argues that malnutrition could not have been a driving factor for migration.

 

Secondly, she questions the feasibility of a 'return' plan, as stated in the reading passage. If migration was an immediate solution to manage drought conditions, why didn't they return to their original settlements that had strong foundations for survival? She doesn't think that such a plan would likely be correct.

 

Lastly, she disbelieves the importance of water supplies as a motive for migration, as suggested in the reading passage. She cites Arizona as an example where people live despite lack of sufficient water supplies and argues that this is not necessarily a powerful enough factor to prompt migration.

[Q2]

 

The question of Whether main problem or main topic is advantageous or disadvantageous is an important topic that has sparkted many heated debates. Person A holds the view that paraphrase of person A's opinion. While I agree to some degree, I strongly believe that reason for opposition .

Therefore, my view aligns with Person B's opinion that paraphrase of Person B's opinion. This makes perfect sense because an example or another reason for opposition. Moreover, an example or another reason for opposition

 

Example*

The question of what factors most attract customers when shopping is an important topic that has sparked heated debates. Terence holds the view that brand reputation is the key determinant. While I agree to a certain extent, I strongly believe that we cannot guarantee the quality of clothes based solely on brand power.

 

Therefore, my view aligns with Minji's opinion that various advertising tools could be attractive incentives for shopping. This makes perfect sense because by browsing online magazines or watching ads, we can discover unique and appealing clothes without much effort in searching for them. Moreover, if we continue to explore these platforms regularly, it's likely we'll find reasonably priced clothing items - something offline clothing stores or branded clothes often lack. Therefore, not just relying on brands but also utilizing diverse media and sites can help us find the best choices.
