Writing Feedback / Genetic modification is now being used to improve trees - TOEFL TPO21 [5]
The reading and listening both discuss genetic modification. The reading concludes that using genetic modification to create trees can make many benefits no matter in the harvest or in natural environment; however, the listening disagrees and calls each of reading's points into a problem.
In the beginning, the reading believes that genetically modified trees have more ability to survive than unmodified counterparts. By contrast, the lecturer points out that modified plants may only resist one particular condition. What she means is only resisting one particular condition doesn't mean they are more likely to survive than unmodified plants. That is to say, modified papaya trees may have a new pest-resistant capability; however, once they face the rapid climate-change or new kinds of pest, they will be quickly wiped out because they are designed too uniform to survive.
Second, the reading states that genetically modified trees can produce stable or even more harvest, helping farmers bring a number of economic benefits. The lecturer rejects the view and asserts that planting modified trees will cost more than non-modified tress. To explain, the modified seeds are much more expensive than unmodified ones and farmers need to pay company every time they sow according to law. Therefore, getting faster, greater returns and saving on pesticides may not pay off by expensive modified seeds.
Last, the reading claims that the use of genetically modified trees can prevent wild trees from overexploitation. Nevertheless, the lecturer opposes the view once again and says that modified trees may make more damage to nature plants. To elaborate, the modified plants are more aggressive than non-modified plants, which will be defeated and become crowed because of losing sunlight, water and nutrition.
