Humans have long been fascinated by elephants, the largest land animal in the modern world. Social animals that live in herds, elephants are native to both Africa and Asia. Their large ears, long trunk, and long life span have made elephants one of the most captivating creatures on Earth. Our long-standing interest in elephants has led to several beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors.Elephants Are Aware of Approaching DeathOne of the popular beliefs is that when elephants become old and weak, they know that they are nearing the end of their lives. They demonstrate this by breaking away from their herds and going off alone to certain locations often found near bodies of water—so called “elephant graveyards”—to die alone. The idea that old elephants seem aware that they will die soon is supported by the discovery of many sites containing bones exclusively of elderly elephants.Representing Objects through ArtAdditionally, elephants seem to have artistic ability. Elephants can be taught to hold a paintbrush in their trunk and use it to paint on a canvas. Some elephants have been known to paint drawings that represent recognizable things: flowers, other elephants, even themselves. This talent makes elephants the only animal other than humans to produce art representing the world around them.Fear of MiceFinally, it has long been believed that elephants have a fear of mice. In 77 C.E., the Roman philosopher and scientist Pliny the Elder wrote that elephants are more afraid of mice, small mammals that can do elephants no harm, than of the much more dangerous animals with which elephants normally share an environment, such as lions or tigers. In a recent scientific experiment in which a herd of elephants was confronted with several mice, the elephants backed away from the mice and left the area to avoid them.

The reading and the lecture both center around the topic of astonishing elephant behaviors. The author of the article presents beliefs about the three unusual behaviors, respectively. However, the lecturer points out that those beliefs are based on misunderstandings. Firstly, according to the reading, elephants notice their death is approaching. To elaborate, knowing impending death, elephants would leave their herds and go to places near water. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He posits that old elephants find places near water to search for softer vegetation to eat. It's because their teeth become not strong enough for them to chew previous food. What they are able to eat is in the neighborhood of the water area. Moreover, the passage suggests that elephants can represent objects through art. They can hold a brush by the trunk to paint various drawings. The lecturer disputes this claim by mentioning that even though elephants are trained to brush successfully, they may not be conscious of what they are painting. By stroking elephants' ears in different ways, elephants are taught to paint different things. They just respond to different stimulation. Additionally, the article provides a theory that elephants are afraid of mice. On the contrary, the lecturer contends that they fear unfamiliar objects instead of mice. For instance, elephants in zoos are afraid of mice since they know that mice won't harm them.

3.Task completeness The essay does a good job of summarizing the points made in the lecture and explaining how they challenge the specific points made in the reading passage. However, there is room for improvement in providing more detailed explanations and clearer connections between the lecture's points and the reading passage's claims. To improve task fulfillment, try to:

  • Include more specific examples from both the reading and listening passages.

  • Clearly explain how each point from the lecture challenges or contradicts a point from the reading.

Example improvements:

  1. Original sentence: "The lecturer disputes this claim by mentioning that even though elephants are trained to brush successfully, they may not be conscious of what they are painting." Improved sentence: "The lecturer disputes this claim by explaining that elephants do not create art consciously; instead, their trainers guide their movements by stroking their sensitive ears, causing them to paint specific patterns."

  2. Original sentence: "For instance, elephants in zoos are afraid of mice since they know that mice won't harm them." Improved sentence: "For instance, elephants in zoos do not fear mice because they have become familiar with them and understand that they pose no threat."

4.Essay structure and organization The essay has a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs addressing each point, and a conclusion. However, some transitions between ideas could be improved for better coherence and cohesion. To enhance organization:

  • Use clear transition words or phrases to connect ideas within paragraphs.

  • Make sure each paragraph focuses on one main idea.

Example improvements:

  1. Original sentence: "To elaborate, knowing impending death, elephants would leave their herds and go to places near water." Improved sentence: "To elaborate, it is believed that when elephants sense their impending death, they leave their herds and seek out places near water."

  2. Original sentence: "By stroking elephants' ears in different ways, elephants are taught to paint different things." Improved sentence: "Trainers stroke elephants' ears in various ways to teach them specific brushstrokes, which the elephants then reproduce on the canvas."

5. Grammar

The reading and the lecture both center around the topic of astonishing elephant behaviors. The author of the article presents beliefs about the three unusual behaviors, respectively. However, the lecturer points out that those beliefs are based on misunderstandings.

According to the reading text, three are three statements that demonstrate elephants' interesting behaviors, which are all countered by the lecture. First, the passage argues that elepants know when they will die because the feable elephants always leave the herds and their bodies are frequently found in the "elephant graveyards" close to the water. However, the lecture thinks that elephants should not be assumed to be aware of their death. Considering that old elephants have worn-down teeth, the purpose they leave the nerd is to find soft food which is near the water. Second, the passage states that the elephants own talents for art creation. By contrast, the lecture challenges it and says that humans could train elephants by utlizing the sensitivity of their ears. The trainer will direct the elaphants to learn the correct brushstoke patterns and punish them for wrong strokes by exerting a force on their sensitive ears. Thus, there is no such art talent for elephants because they do not know what the patterns represent. Third, the reading text thinks that elephants are scared of mice. To object this, the lecture explains that elephants are not afraid of mice but they are just unfamilar with them. It is a natural instinct for animals to back away other animals they are not acquainted with, which can also explain that why elephants have no fear for huge animals that share living environments with them. As a result, when elephants realize that mice will not pose any threat to them, they will leave the mice alone and do not mind those creatures. To conclude, the lecture challenges the passage and thinks the three interesting behaviors are actually misunderstandings to elephants.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three intriguing behaviors of elephants, which are subsequently challenged by the lecture.

Firstly, the passage asserts that elephants are aware of their impending death, as evidenced by feeble elephants leaving their herds and their remains often being found in "elephant graveyards" near water sources. In contrast, the lecture contends that it is erroneous to assume that elephants possess such awareness. The primary reason for elderly elephants leaving their herds is due to their worn-down teeth, which necessitates seeking softer vegetation typically found near water sources.

Secondly, the passage claims that elephants possess artistic talent. However, the lecture disputes this notion by explaining that humans can train elephants using the sensitivity of their ears. Trainers guide elephants to learn specific brushstroke patterns and correct them by applying pressure on their sensitive ears. Consequently, it is argued that elephants do not inherently possess artistic talent since they remain unaware of what these patterns represent.

Lastly, the reading passage posits that elephants harbor a fear of mice. The lecture counters this assertion by clarifying that it is not mice specifically but rather unfamiliarity with them that causes such reactions in elephants. It is a natural instinct for animals to be cautious around unfamiliar creatures, which also explains why elephants do not fear larger animals sharing their environment. Once accustomed to mice and recognizing they pose no threat, elephants will coexist peacefully with them.

In summary, the lecture challenges each point made in the reading passage and suggests that these fascinating behaviors attributed to elephants are actually based on misunderstandings of their true nature. (267 words)

The reading and the listening material debate on whether elephants have several beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors. The passage puts forward three possible behaviors, yet the lecture opposes them. Firstly, the reading material claims that the elephants are aware of approaching death, and there are many sites that containing bones exclusively of elderly elephants. However, the listening material contradicts it by saying that people cannot assume that old elephants are aware of dying just because they break away from their herds. There is a practical reason that the old elephants have teeth which are worn down, making them have to find the soft vegetables that usually near the bodies of water. Eventually, they will die near the river. Secondly, the author suggests that the elephants represent objects through art, and they have been known to paint drawings. On the contrary, the listening material rebuts it by maintaining that there is issue that the elephants will be trained to stroke by human's touching with their ears, which is sensitive for them. They will be encouraged to do the trick by touching their ears and make them to remember the paint brush stroke. As a consequence, they will not know the flowers and other things and all that is because of the training by human. Thirdly, the reading material argues that the elephants have a fear of mice even more than a fear of dangerous animals like lions or tigers, while the listening material objects to it by firmly expressing that it is because people misinterpret with their reactions. The elephants are not fearful with mice themselves, but unfamiliar animals. They will be conscious with unfamiliar animals because of their natural instinct. It is also common in the zoo that they are not fearful by mice and even do not mind them.

The reading and listening materials present opposing views on several surprising elephant behaviors. The passage posits three possible behaviors, while the lecture refutes each of them.

Firstly, the reading material asserts that elephants are aware of their impending death, as evidenced by the discovery of sites containing bones exclusively from elderly elephants. In contrast, the listening material challenges this notion by providing a practical explanation for old elephants leaving their herds. As elephants age, their teeth become worn down, making it difficult for them to chew. Consequently, elderly elephants seek softer vegetation typically found near water sources. This leads to their eventual demise near these bodies of water, in areas referred to as "elephant graveyards."

Secondly, the author contends that elephants possess artistic abilities and can create drawings representing objects such as flowers and other animals. However, the listening material disputes this claim by highlighting that human trainers manipulate an elephant's sensitive ears to teach them specific paintbrush strokes. The trainers use touch cues to encourage the elephant to replicate these strokes on a canvas. As a result, the elephant's ability to create recognizable images is not an innate talent but rather a product of human training.

Lastly, the reading material argues that elephants have an irrational fear of mice surpassing their fear of more dangerous animals like lions or tigers. Conversely, the listening material refutes this belief by clarifying that elephants' reactions are not due to fear of mice themselves but rather unfamiliarity with these small creatures. Elephants exhibit caution towards unfamiliar animals as a natural instinct for self-preservation. In environments where mice are common, such as zoos, elephants do not display fear towards them and may even become indifferent.

By examining both perspectives presented in the reading and listening materials, it becomes evident that popular beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors may be based on misconceptions or misinterpretations rather than factual evidence. (314 words)

(The word "misconceptions" has been added to emphasize the misunderstanding aspect of these beliefs.)

Both the lecture and reading explore the issue of whether elephants doing something amazing are authentic. The reading claims that elephants have ability to do some amazing behavior. However, the lecture presents specific points to contradict the assertion. First and foremost, the author of the reading holds the belief that when elephants are conscious that they going to die, selecting a site where is near water and then dying alone. However, the author disagrees with this by arguing that the condition of their teeth deteriorates with age, in that case, chewing becomes difficult. Consequently, they have to forage soft vegetation that grows beside the water, these sites containing many bones called “graveyards”. Furthermore, the reading maintains that elephants have an inborn talent for art, they can hold a paintbrush in their trunk to paint and represent recognizable things. In contrast, the lecture posits a divergent way perspective, people train elephants to paint depending on their sensitive ears and remember certain patterns, by touching their ears, and thus elephants will repeat the drawing. Lastly, the reading states that although elephants are enormous animals, they’re afraid of little mice. Nevertheless, the listening supports an argument that elephants have never seen such animals before, from their natural insect, they backed away from this unfamiliar creature to avoid threats. For instance, elephants in zoos don’t react with fear when they face rats. Taking into account these points presented by the professor, it can be inferred that there is substantial evidence supporting that the article misunderstands some elephant behaviors.

Both the lecture and reading explore the issue of whether elephants exhibit certain remarkable behaviors. The reading claims that elephants demonstrate amazing abilities, while the lecture presents specific points to contradict these assertions.

First and foremost, the author of the reading holds the belief that elephants are aware of their impending death, choosing a site near water to die alone. However, the lecturer disagrees with this by arguing that as elephants age, their teeth deteriorate, making chewing difficult. Consequently, they seek soft vegetation found near water sources, leading to sites containing many bones called "elephant graveyards."

Furthermore, the reading maintains that elephants possess an innate talent for art, using their trunks to hold a paintbrush and create recognizable images. In contrast, the lecture posits a different perspective: people train elephants to paint by exploiting their sensitive ears and teaching them specific patterns. By touching their ears in certain ways, trainers can encourage elephants to repeat these patterns on canvas.

Lastly, the reading states that despite being enormous animals, elephants are afraid of small mice. Nevertheless, the listening supports an argument that unfamiliarity with mice triggers this reaction in elephants. Their natural instinct is to be cautious around unknown creatures as a means of avoiding potential threats. For instance, elephants in zoos do not react fearfully when encountering mice.

Taking into account these points presented by the professor, it can be inferred that there is substantial evidence supporting the notion that the article misunderstands some elephant behaviors. (249 words)

Firstly, the reading passage makes clear that elephants have the ability to be aware of the death is approaching. The lecturer, however, argues that elderly elephants' teeth are not so strong, so they can not eat the regular vegetation that other young elephants eat. Therefore, elderly elephants will break away from their herds to find the soft vegetation that grows near water. Finally, the elderly elephants will die in these locations that are called elephant graveyards. Secondly, according to the passage, elephants show their talent for art by using the paintbrush to paint drawings that represent some recognizable things. Nonetheless, the lecturer counters this argument by asserting that this kind of behavior is trained by people instead of born with them. The lecturer suggests that elephants' ears are sensitive and people train elephants to paint by touching their ears. Moreover, through frequent training, elephants could draw some specific drawing patterns. without intention, however, they just seem like flowers or other things. Thirdly, the reading passage maintains that elephants are fear of mice. Casting doubt on this claim, the lecturer floats the idea that elephants have the instinct to leave away from unfamiliar animals. The lecturer also emphasizes elephants in zoos that are familiar with the mice will ignore mice and don't mind them.

Section title: 6.文章修订

The passage presents three surprising elephant behaviors, while the lecturer contends that these beliefs are based on misunderstandings and refutes each point made in the passage.

Firstly, the reading passage suggests that elephants are aware of their approaching death, as evidenced by elderly elephants breaking away from their herds to die alone in so-called "elephant graveyards." However, the lecturer argues that this behavior is due to elderly elephants having worn-down teeth, making it difficult for them to eat regular vegetation. Consequently, they seek softer vegetation near water sources and eventually die in these locations.

Secondly, the passage claims that elephants demonstrate artistic ability by using a paintbrush to create drawings representing recognizable objects. The lecturer counters this argument by explaining that this behavior is trained rather than innate. Elephants' ears are sensitive, and trainers touch their ears to guide them in creating specific brushstroke patterns. Although these patterns may resemble flowers or other objects, it is not necessarily intentional on the part of the elephant.

Lastly, the reading passage asserts that elephants have a fear of mice. Challenging this claim, the lecturer posits that elephants exhibit caution around unfamiliar animals as a natural instinct. Elephants living in environments where mice are common, such as zoos, do not react fearfully once they become familiar with them and realize they pose no threat. (224 words)

The reading passage introduces the beliefs that scientists hold about some astonishing behaviors of elephants. The professor, in the listening parts, asserts that such beliefs are misunderstandings, which are supported by the subsequent facts and explanations. Firstly, the reading passage makes clear that elephants may have the awareness of the nearing of their death. The professor, however, refutes this point by stating that the particular sites where elephants die cannot be attributed to the fact that the old elephants know their death is around the corner. The real reason is that when elephants become old, their teeth will fall, rendering them incapable of chewing. In this scenario, they have to look for soft vegetables that are often grow near the water mass to eat, resulting in their relatively centralized death location around the water. Secondly, according to the passage, elephants possess artistic ability. Casting doubt on this point, the professor asserts that the truth lies behind the seeming capability of elephants to pain is that human beings stroke the elephants' ears to train them to do so. Given that elephants' ears are sensitive, they will remember and repeat the behaviors when their ears are stroked without actually knowing the meaning of what they are doing. Lastly, the passage claims that elephants are afraid of mice. Nevertheless, the professor defines this belief as a misinterpretation. He goes on stating that it is not out of the fair but the intinction of being cautious to unfamiliar things. This is further supported by the fact that those elephants living in the areas fraught with mice are not afraid of mice, as they know theme won't cause threats to hem.

He goes on stating that it is not out of the fair fear but the intinction of being cautious to rather an instinctive caution (revised for better word choice) towards unfamiliar things. This is further supported by the fact that those elephants living in the areas fraught populated with mice (revised for clarity) are not afraid of mice, as them since they know theme these small creatures won't cause pose threats to hem.them (revised for better word choice).

Section Title: 6.文章修订

In the reading material, the author presents three fascinating beliefs about elephants that have captured human interest for a long time. However, the lecturer in the listening material contends that these beliefs are based on misunderstandings of elephant behavior and refutes each point made in the reading passage.

Firstly, the author posits that elephants are aware of their impending death and leave their herds to die alone in so-called "elephant graveyards." Contrarily, the lecturer provides an alternative explanation, stating that elderly elephants' teeth become worn down, making it difficult for them to chew. As a result, they leave their herds to search for softer vegetation typically found near water sources.

Secondly, the reading passage claims that elephants possess artistic abilities and can create paintings representing objects from their surroundings. The lecturer disputes this assertion by explaining that elephant trainers manipulate their sensitive ears to guide them in creating specific brushstrokes. Consequently, it is not an innate artistic ability but rather a trained response to stimuli.

Lastly, the author argues that elephants have an irrational fear of mice. The lecturer challenges this notion by clarifying that elephants' reactions stem from unfamiliarity with mice rather than fear itself. He supports this argument by noting that elephants living in zoos, where they are exposed to mice regularly, do not exhibit any signs of fear towards them as they become familiar with their presence over time.

Section title: 6.文章修订

The passage and the lecture both discuss various beliefs about elephant behavior. The reading presents three popular beliefs, while the lecture challenges these notions with specific counterarguments.

Firstly, the reading suggests that old elephants are aware of their impending death and will break away from their herds to die alone in so-called "elephant graveyards." However, the lecture refutes this idea by explaining that as elephants age, their teeth wear down, making it difficult for them to chew. Consequently, elderly elephants seek softer vegetation typically found near water sources. This practical reason for their departure from the herd leads them to eventually die near water, creating the illusion of an elephant graveyard.

Secondly, the passage claims that elephants possess artistic abilities and can create paintings representing objects in their environment. In contrast, the lecture asserts that this is a result of human training rather than innate talent. Elephants are taught specific brushstroke patterns by trainers who manipulate their sensitive ears to guide them. Thus, it is not necessarily a genuine artistic expression but rather a learned behavior.

Lastly, the reading posits that elephants have an innate fear of mice. However, the lecture disputes this notion by explaining that elephants' cautious reactions to mice stem from unfamiliarity rather than fear. Elephants living in environments where mice are common, such as zoos, do not exhibit fear towards them. Once they become familiar with mice and recognize they pose no threat, they no longer react fearfully.

In conclusion, while popular beliefs about elephant behavior may seem fascinating at first glance, further examination reveals these behaviors can be attributed to practical reasons or misconceptions rather than inherent traits or instincts unique to elephants. (281 words)

The reading passage and the lecture both discuss some incredible factors relevant to elephants, who are originally native to Africa and Asia. The reading article presents three surprising behaviors of elephants, while the lecture refutes each one. Firstly, the reading passage proposes that elephants have a sense of their longevity; once older elephants become aware of their impending demise, they will leave the herds and die alone near water. The discovery of elephant graveyards containing bones solely of elderly elephants could help support this hypothesis. On the other hand, the professor challenges this idea by pointing out that the evidence is not conclusive enough to support it. Elderly elephants, who suffer from chewing problems, tend to eat softer vegetation, showing it's necessary for them to leave the herds temporarily for foraging but not for searching their own graveyards. In fact, softer vegetation is always found near rivers, which explains why their remains are found in certain locations. Secondly, the reading passage suggests that an elephant is the only creature capable of producing images of objects in an artistic way. There are some elephants that can paint flowers and other objects, which gives strong support to this theory. However, the lecture counters this by mentioning that elephants are merely taught to draw simple lines by training their ears. This means that elephants are not representing objects but merely conducting precisely what humans taught them to do, rendering this hypothesis impractical. Lastly, the reading posits that elephants are afraid of mice - creatures who can barely threaten them - making them even more curious. Moreover, both records from 77 C.E and current experimental data support the idea that elephants fear mice by observing their daily life. The professor rebuts this by indicating that elephants are not afraid of mice themselves but rather due to their unfamiliarity with them. Elephants living in zoos can be a compelling example; once they learn that mice do no harm to them, elephants show no interest in mice rather than confronting them.

Elephants living in zoos can be a compelling example; once they learn that mice do no harm to them, elephants show no interest in mice rather than confronting them.

According to the material, there are several beliefs about elephant behaviors, on the other hand, the lecture suggests that they are just misunderstanding. There are two opposite ideas to each other. The lecture gives a viewpoint that not all the elephants are aware that they are near the end of lives which refutes the perspective showed in the material that elephants are aware when they will die. The reason why old elephants break away from their herds is the food which the herds eat are difficult for old elephants to eat. Hence, they look for soft food which can often be found near the water. The lecture refutes the point showed in the material that elephant is able to understand art by claiming that this behavior is trained by people. The elephants' ears are so sensitive that people can train them by touch their ears. By doing this, the elephant can remember the brush stokes. Actually, elephants don't know the lines they paint represent what. The material discusses that elephants is fearful of mice, on the contrary, the lecture gives a different point of view that the situation is because they are not familiar with mice. This is natural instinct. For example, elephants in the zoo don't fear of mice because of familiarity.

The reading passage presents several beliefs about elephant behaviors, while the lecture refutes these claims by providing alternative explanations for these phenomena. In this essay, I will summarize the points made in the lecture and explain how they challenge the specific points made in the reading passage.

Firstly, the lecture disputes the reading passage's assertion that elephants are aware of their approaching death when they leave their herds. The lecturer explains that old elephants break away from their herds not because they know they will die soon, but because they need to find softer vegetation to eat due to their worn-down teeth. Consequently, elderly elephants search for more palatable food sources, which are typically found near bodies of water. This practical explanation challenges the notion of so-called "elephant graveyards" and suggests that these sites are merely a result of old elephants seeking suitable sustenance.

Secondly, regarding the artistic abilities of elephants, the lecture contradicts the reading passage's claim that elephants can create art representing objects from their surroundings. The lecturer clarifies that elephants' painting skills are a result of human training rather than inherent artistic talent. Elephants' ears are highly sensitive, allowing trainers to guide them through specific brushstroke patterns by touching their ears. Thus, an elephant using a paintbrush is merely reproducing lines it has been trained to paint without understanding what those lines represent.

Lastly, concerning elephants' purported fear of mice, the lecture challenges this belief by providing an alternative explanation for their behavior. The lecturer posits that elephants' reactions to mice stem from unfamiliarity rather than innate fear. This cautious response towards unfamiliar animals is a natural instinct shared by many species. As evidence supporting this argument, the lecturer cites zoo elephants who do not react fearfully to mice once they become familiar with them.

In summary, the lecture effectively refutes several beliefs about elephant behaviors presented in the reading passage by offering alternative explanations based on practical reasons and natural instincts. By doing so, the lecturer casts doubt on the validity of these long-held beliefs and invites a more nuanced understanding of elephant behavior. (349 words)

The reading passage and the listening comprehension discuss the surprising elephant behaviors. While the reading proposes three arguments to explain elephants’ behaviors, the lecture, on the other hand, challenges these by suggesting that they are all based on misunderstandings. Firstly, the author claims that elephants leave their herds and stay alone to certain locations, often close to bodies of water because they are aware of the approach of death. And this theory has been corroborated by evidence of many sites containing bones of elderly elephants only. However, the professor refutes this view, arguing that elephants breaking off from herds are not because of their awareness of the approach of death. According to her, when elephants get old enough, their teeth start to decay and they can only chew some soft materials. They leave the herds in order to look for soft vegetation which are generally near water. So that’s how watery areas become the graveyard of elephants. Secondly, the author asserts that elephants are the only animals other than human capable of drawing paintings because they can be taught to hold a brush to paint on a canvas. They can draw flowers, other elephants or even themselves. In contrast, the professor holds a different opinion, stating that elephants cannot be trained to paint. She further explains that people generally strike elephants’ ears, which are very sensitive to them, to do tricks. People touch their ears to let them remember several paint strokes and elephants don’t realize those simple strokes representing flowers, other elephants or themselves. As a result, elephants are not capable of drawing paintings. Lastly, the author states that elephants are afraid of mice because in a recent scientific experiment, when a herd of elephants encounter to several mice, they just stay away to avoid them. Contrary to the reading’s view, the professor believes that elephants don’t react fearfully when they meet mice. In other words, elephants are just not familiar with mice. Once in a setting, like in a zoo, where elephants can always face mice and become familiar with them, they don’t mind to encountering them. Hence, elephants are just not familiar with mice, not afraid of them.

The reading passage posits three behaviors of elephants that surprise and fascinate humans. The lecturer, however, disputes these claims and provides counterarguments to each point made in the reading. Firstly, the reading says that elephants’ behaviors of leaving away from their herds and going to the locations known as “elephant graveyards” signify that they are aware of approaching death. By contrast, the lecturer challenges this idea by highlighting that when elephants get old, their teeth wore down, so they need to find softer vegetations for food, which are often found near water with elephant graveyard nearby, where they die. Secondly, the reading claims that elephants’ capabilities of holding a paintbrush to draw objects indicate that they are able to represent the world through paintings. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this argument by explaining that elephants are taught to draw. When training, trainers stroke elephants’ ears, which are sensitive. So that trainers can guide elephants to practice and repeat certain patterns by touching their ears. Lastly, the reading argues that the evidences came from philosopher Pliny the Elder and related research suggests elephants fear of mice, which do no harm to them, so they should not be afraid of. However, the lecturer counters this argument by stating that elephants’ reaction to mice is attributed to the fact that they do not familiar with these creatures. When living in places where mice are common to see, and realizing that they do not pose any threat, elephants don’t mind them at all.

The reading passage posits three behaviors of elephants that surprise and fascinate humans. The lecturer, however, disputes these claims and provides counterarguments to each point made in the reading. Firstly, the reading says that elephants’ behaviors of leaving away from their herds and going to the locations known as “elephant graveyards” signify that they are aware of approaching death. By contrast, the lecturer challenges this idea by highlighting that when elephants get old, their teeth wore down, so they need to find softer vegetationsvegetation(misspelling) for food, which are often found near water with elephant graveyard nearby, where they die.
Secondly, the reading claims that elephants’ capabilities of holding a paintbrush to draw objects indicate that they are able to represent the world through paintings. Conversely, the lecturer refutes this argument by explaining that (Two consecutive spaces)elephants are taught to draw. When training, trainers stroke elephants’ ears, which are sensitive. So that trainers can guide elephants to practice and repeat certain patterns by touching their ears. Lastly, the reading argues that the evidences came from philosopher Pliny the Elder and related research suggests elephants fear of mice, which do no harm to them, so they should not be afraid of. However, the lecturer counters this argument by stating that elephants’ reaction to mice is attributed to the fact that they do not familiar with these creatures.

The Arthur of the reading passage proposed three briefs about surprising elephant behaviors. However, the professor in the lecture challenges these beliefs, asserting that all beliefs are misunderstanding. Firstly, the author contents that elephants are aware of approaching death because of elephant graveyards. In contrast, the professor refutes this view by explaining that elephants have practical reasons to do so. When they getting old, their teeth are getting too deteriorated to chew normal foods. In order to look for something easily to eat and chew, they are tend to find soft vegetables typically growing near the water, consequently, they die alone there, which is the truth about elephant graveyards. Secondly, the author claims that elephants have artistic ability. The professor disagrees with this assertion and maintain an opposite opinion, stating that elephants are able to paint just due to being trained by people. Elephants’ nose is so sensitive that people can take advantage of its pain to train them to play tricks and draw paintings. Additionally, people may force elephants to remember certain type of painting by touching their trunk. Consequently, all paint drawings cannot indicate elephants can represent objects thorough art. Finally, the author argues that elephants have a fear of mice. Contrary to this view, the professor believes that the elephants tend to avoid mice just because they are unfamiliar with the mice species which is a natural instinct of animals. Furthermore, elephants in the zoos don’t back away from the mice as they know mice cannot pose a threat on them, thus, they don’t mind mice.

In contrast, the professor refutes this view by explaining that elephants have practical reasons for leaving their herds.

Secondly, the author claims that elephants possess artistic ability. The professor disagrees with this assertion and maintains an opposing opinion, stating that elephants are able to paint only because they have been trained by humans.

6.文章修订

The reading passage and the lecture both discuss surprising elephant behaviors, presenting three specific claims. However, the professor in the lecture challenges each of these assertions by providing alternative explanations.

Firstly, the reading passage claims that elephants are aware of their approaching death and would leave their herds to die alone near water sources. In contrast, the lecturer contends that this belief is based on a misunderstanding of elephant behavior. She explains that older elephants leave their herds because their worn-down teeth make it difficult for them to chew, so they need to find softer vegetation near water sources. Consequently, many elderly elephants are found dead near water due to their dietary needs rather than an awareness of impending death.

Secondly, the reading passage posits that elephants possess artistic abilities, as evidenced by their capacity to paint recognizable objects such as flowers and other elephants. However, the lecturer disputes this claim by arguing that elephants are not independently creating art but are instead trained to perform specific brushstrokes. She elaborates that trainers utilize the sensitivity of elephant ears to guide the paintbrush, teaching them specific patterns of brushstrokes. Thus, it is incorrect to attribute artistic abilities solely to the elephants themselves.

Lastly, the reading passage asserts that elephants have a fear of mice based on historical accounts and anecdotal evidence. The lecturer refutes this notion by stating that elephants' reactions to mice stem from unfamiliarity rather than fear. She explains that caution towards unfamiliar animals is a natural instinct for many species, including elephants. Furthermore, she provides evidence that when exposed to mice in familiar environments such as zoos, elephants do not exhibit fearful reactions.

By challenging each claim presented in the reading passage with alternative explanations and evidence from her own research, the lecturer effectively disputes popular beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors. (304 words)

The passage mainly talks that countries should take more tax on smokers or people eating unhealthy food, but the professor in the lecture casts doubt on writer's idea in three aspects. Firstly, the writer in the passage says that raising taxes is beneficial for people to reduce their bad habits and help society to be healthier. However, the professor in the lecture argues that some smokers will choose to buy cheaper cigarettes instead of expensive cigarettes, even the cheap cigarettes have more harmful substances than qualified cigarettes. However, these people will continue buying unhealthy food even if the tax is raised. Secondly, the writer says that the cost of medical services made by these people with unhealthy diets will lead to an unfair problem, because people with healthy lives cost the same money as these smokers, so the rising tax will be a financial way to make the society fair. In contrast, the speaker in the listening material asserts that smokers, especially low-income smokers will be under more pressure than people with high income. Finally, the passage states that the government can use the revenue to do some public welfare, which is beneficial to the public. On the contrary, the professor in the listening material contends that if the government gets more and more taxes, they will highly depend on these taxes and do something unreasonable. For example, the government may open all the public places for smokers to enjoy their cigarettes even if only the park was limited in the past. Therefore, the tax used by the government should be opposed since they definitely do not want to lose this income.

示例1(英文): Instead of discussing the topic of taxes on unhealthy food and smokers, your essay should focus on the beliefs about elephant behavior mentioned in the reading and listening passages.

示例2(英文): Another example related to the topic of elephants' artistic ability could be: "The professor refutes the idea that elephants have artistic ability by stating that human trainers use touch to guide their paintbrush strokes, meaning that elephants are not consciously creating art representing objects."

Revised Essay:

The passage primarily discusses several fascinating beliefs about elephants, while the lecture challenges these ideas by providing alternative explanations for their behaviors.

Firstly, the passage suggests that when elephants become old and weak, they are aware of their approaching death and go to "elephant graveyards" to die alone. However, the professor in the lecture refutes this notion by explaining that elderly elephants leave their herds for a practical reason: their worn-down teeth make it difficult for them to chew. Consequently, they search for softer vegetation near water sources, which is where they eventually die and create the so-called elephant graveyards.

Secondly, the reading passage asserts that elephants possess artistic abilities as they can be taught to paint recognizable objects on a canvas. In contrast, the lecturer argues that this talent is not an inherent ability but rather a result of human training. Elephants are guided through specific brushstrokes by trainers who touch their sensitive ears. Therefore, it is not accurate to claim that elephants have a genuine understanding of art or its representation.

Lastly, the passage maintains that elephants have an innate fear of mice based on Pliny the Elder's writings and recent experiments. However, the professor disputes this belief by clarifying that elephants' reactions to mice stem from unfamiliarity rather than fear. Elephants in environments where mice are common do not exhibit fearful behavior towards them. Once they become familiar with mice and recognize them as non-threatening, they no longer react with caution.

In conclusion, the lecture effectively challenges each belief presented in the reading passage by offering alternative explanations for elephant behaviors related to death awareness, artistic ability, and fear of mice. (279 words)
