TPO 20

先来看看以下的阅读材料：

In the United States, it had been common practice since the late 1960s not to

suppress natural forest fires. The “let it burn” policy assumed that forest

fires would burn themselves out quickly, without causing much damage. However,

in the summer of 1988, forest fires in Yellowstone, the most famous national

park in the country, burned for more than two months and spread over a huge

area, encompassing more than 800,000 acres. Because of the large scale of the

damage, many people called for replacing the “let it burn” policy with a policy

of extinguishing forest fires as soon as they appeared. Three kinds of damage

caused by the “let it burn” policy were emphasized by critics of the policy.

中文翻译：在美国，从1960年代末开始就非常普遍地对森林大火采取不扑灭的策略。这种”随它燃烧”的策略认为森林大火可以在不造成太多损失的情况下迅速燃烧完。然后，1988年发生在美国最出名的黄石国家公园的森林大火却整整燃烧了两个月，蔓延了80万英亩。鉴于这次造成的巨大损失，很多人主张取消”随它燃烧”的策略，转而开始全力扑灭森林大火的策略。评论家们提供了三个由”随它燃烧”策略造成的损害来支持自己的观点。

First, Yellowstone fires cause tremendous damage to the parks trees and other

vegetation. When the fires finally died out, nearly one third of Yellowstone’s

land had been scorched. Trees were charred and blackened from flames and smoke.

Smaller plants were entirely incinerated. What had been a national treasure now

seemed like a devastated wasteland.

中文翻译：首先，黄石大火给公园里的树木以及其他植物造成了巨大的损失。当火燃尽的时候，黄石公园接近三分之一的面积已成焦土。火焰烧焦树木，浓烟熏黑树木。小型植物

则被彻底烧成灰烬。当看到宝贵的国家财富成为一片荒地的时候，会是何种感觉?

Second, the park wildlife was affected as well. Large animals like deer and

elk were seen fleeing the fire. Many smaller species were probably unable to

escape. There was also concern than the destruction of habitats and the

disruption of food chains would make it impossible for the animals that survived

the fire to return.

中文翻译：第二，公园的野生动物也遭到了伤害。像鹿或者麋鹿这些大型动物在火灾中都逃脱了，但是很多小型动物却不能逃脱。同时，大火还破坏了动物的栖息地并打乱了食物链，这使得当或在结束之后，逃离的动物也无法回来栖息于此。

Third, the fires compromised the value of the park as a tourist attraction,

which in turn had negative consequences for the local economy. With several

thousand acres of the park engulfed in flames, the tourist season was cut short,

and a large number of visitors decided to stay away. Of course, local businesses

that depended on park visitors suffered as a result.

中文翻译：第三，火灾会降低公园对游客的吸引力，进而对当地的经济造成不良的影响。由于数千英亩的土地被火焰吞没，旅游旺季缩短了，而很多游客都会选择放弃游览黄石公园。当地的经济对于旅游业依赖很大，自然会受到负面影响。

读完综合写作的阅读部分需要提取的观点是：

- Main point: 专家主张废除”随它燃烧”的策略

- Sub point 1: 会对国家公园的植物造成伤害

- Sub point 2: 会对国家公园的动物造成伤害

- Sub point 3: 火灾会降低公园对游客的吸引力

以下是听力材料：

Actually, fires are natural part of ecological cycle and their role is not

just destructive but also creative. That is why the “let it burn” policy is

fundamentally a good one, even if it sometimes causes fires of the 1988

Yellowstone fire. Let’s look at what happened after 1988 fire.

中文翻译：事实上，森林大火是生态系统的组成部分，而且大火的角色不仅仅是破坏性的，同时也是建设性的。这就是为什么”随它燃烧”政策基本上是正确的，尽管它导致了1988年黄石大火。让我们看看1988大火之后发生了什么。

First, vegetation. As you might imagine, scorched areas were in time

colonized by new plants. As a matter of fact, the plants in Yellowstone became

more diverse because the fire created an opportunity for certain plants that

could not grow otherwise. For example, areas where the trees have been destroyed

by the fire could now be taken over by smaller plants that needed open and

shaded space to grow. And another example, seeds of certain plants species won’t

germinate unless they’re exposed to very high levels of heat. So, those plants

started appearing after the fire as well.

中文翻译：首先，对于植物来说。你们可以想到，那些烧焦的地方随着时间的发展都会被新的植物覆盖。而且事实上，因为大火给一些本来难以生长的种类得以发芽，黄石的植物因此变得更具多样性。比如，原来长满树木的地方因为火灾遭到破坏，但现在那里长满了需要开阔而阴凉空间的小型植物。另一个例子是，一些植物的种子只有经受过非常高的温度之后才能够发芽。所以，这些植物会在大火之后开始生长。

It’s a similar story with the animals. Not only did their populations

recover, but the fire also created new opportunities. For instance, the small

plants that replaced trees after the fire created an ideal habitat for certain

small animals like rabbits and hares. And when rabbits and hares started

thriving, so did some predators that depended on them for food. So, certain food

chains actually became stronger after the fire than they were before.

中文翻译：动物的情况也类似。不但动物的数量会逐步回复，而且大火会给动物的生长带来新的机会。比如，那些在火灾之后取代原有树木的小型植物给一些小型动物提供了极佳的栖息地，比如兔子。当兔子的数量开始变多，那么以它们为食的捕食者的数量也会增加。所以，大火过后，相应的食物链会变得比之前更加稳定。

And last, fires like 1988 Yellowstone fire would be a problem for tourism if

they happened every year. But they don’t. It was a very unusual combination of

factors that year, low rainfall, unusually strong winds, accumulation of dry

undergrowth that caused fire to be so massive. This combination has not occurred

since and Yellowstone has not seen such a fire since 1988. Visitors came back to

the park next year and each year after that.

中文翻译：最后，只要1988年的黄石大火不是每年都发生，那么就不会对旅游业造成巨大问题。而事实上，也确实不会每年发生。大火的发生是在那一年诸多因素和偶然的相互作用。比如，降水少、罕见的大风，以及干燥的低层植被的聚集导致了那次大火规模空前。但是这些因素没有再次聚合，而黄石公园自1988年开始也没有出现过这样规模的火灾。游客在大火第二年的时候就会恢复，而且这种趋势会保持下去。

听完这段材料综合写作听力部分需要提取的观点是：

- Main point: “随它燃烧”政策基本上是正确的

- Sub point 1: 植物会在大火之后恢复而且生长的更好

- Sub point 2: 动物也会在大火之后恢复，食物链会更加稳定

- Sub point 3: 只有每年都发生火灾才会影响当地旅游业，但是从1988年后再也没有发生

托福写作综合写作简介

托福写作综合写作简介托福写作是托福考试的最后一项，包含两个任务，分别是托福综合写作和独立写作。综合写作和以往英语写作的考查形式不同并不是单纯的考查写作能力。因此，很多考生在这部分会丢失一些分数。此外，还有一些考生对托福综合写作不太了解，因此，很多考生会在备考过程中存在一些疑问点。接下来，澳洲圣约翰小编就和大家分享托福综合写作简介，包括托福写作的内容介绍和解题技巧。综合写作俗称小作文，主要考察大家综合信息的能力。如果大家的听力好，那么这个部分对大家来说可能问题不大。这时，大家可能会纳闷：为什么写作要求听力好呢?因为小作文的考试步骤是这样的：首先，进入小作文考试界面后，大家会在屏幕的左边看到一篇阅读文章。ETS给大家三分钟的时间来阅读一篇字数在200到300词之间的文章，提炼文章的主旨和分论点。三分钟过去后，大家需要戴上耳机，听一段时长2到3分钟的听力。听力听完后，就开始真正的写作了。托福写作要求是要大家综合阅读和听力里的内容，提炼最主要信息，通常情况下，是要求大家写听力内容如何反驳了阅读内容。（青岛托福）这时，很多人可能会觉得小作文很难，这么长的阅读只看了一遍，听力听了一遍，怎么记得住主要内容呢?不用担心，我们说ETS出的考试还是很人性化的，在托福写作的过程中，阅读文章又会重新出现在屏幕的左边。所以，阅读材料是作为一种参考材料出现的。它考察的是大家综合整理信息的能力，考的是大家在国外能否适应那里的校园学习。有的学生可能又有疑问了，既然阅读会一直在屏幕上，第一遍阅读出现的时候为什么还要看呢?这个就要说到阅读和听力的关系了。托福考试的小作文，阅读内容和听力内容必然相反。而且文章和听力的结构非常清晰，一般包含五个段落，开头段一段，中间段三段，结尾段一段。也就是说它们都有一个总的观点和三个分论点。总观点必定相反，分论点则针锋相对。听力会运用一些例子或者理由或者科学的调查结果来反驳阅读中的内容。所以，在阅读第一次出现的时候，把握了它的内容可以提示我们听力的内容。了解了小作文的考试流程后，我们来看看它的解题技巧。在短时间内，我们的记忆有限，所以我们需要记笔记。在阅读的时候，我们需要记下文章的主旨和分论点。听力则需要我们记住教授是如何反驳文章的分论点的，运用了哪些例子和理由。这些例子和理由至关重要，因为它们组成了后来托福写作的核心内容。（青岛托福培训）笔记记好后，如何去组织作文的内容呢?其实非常简单。小作文的写作模式很清晰：五个段落一一第一段开头段写明听力内容反驳了阅读内容;随后用三个中间段分别论述听力材料运用了什么例子和理由驳斥阅读内容;最后一段结尾总结性的在强调一次听力内容质疑了阅读材料。这里需要注意到的是，如果大家时间不够，最后的结尾段落可以不写，因为它的内容和开头段可以说是差不多的。结构看完后，有什么需要特别注意的呢?我们发现，中间段的三个段落以及开头段都会运用到表示反驳这一类的词汇，所以大家需要积累很多关于驳斥，质疑的词，例如：retort，cast doubt on等等。同时，句子的多样性也是我们拿到高分的一个重要评分标准。特别是中间三段的结构特别类似，在表达听力反驳阅读的时候，要运用三种不同的句式。可以用主动句，被动句，也可以用到动词的ing形式表伴随。具体的运用根据学生自己的知识掌握情况来决定。注意到以上几个部分，然后经过高强度的训练，小作文取得高分并不是问题。（青岛圣约翰）

托福综合写作7范文托福作文的综合写作应该写

托福综合写作7范文托福作文的综合写作应该写托福作文写作应该分为三个层次，也就是我们确定中心思想后应该找三个理由来支持。托福写作还有一个五段论，第一段为中心思想，二三四为支持段落，第五段总结观点。这个就是所谓的八股文。但是形式不能太明显，在表达中多加入自己的思想，八股文的形式会隐晦一些。一般这种写作可以助你在托福作文中取得高分。构建综合写作整体，你可以从以下这几个方面入手：第一，将听力及阅读中的核心观点提炼出来，并指明对应的两个观点是支持还是对立；第二，分为几个段落，分别从不同角度总结出两个观点的论据。最后，重申主要论证观点并注意切忌掺加个人观点。听力结束后，考生还会有时间回看阅读文章，所以不用完整记忆阅读文章的论点和论据，记下核心即可。有问题，可以再问我。我觉得 ___老师讲的不太对，我自己本身也在 ___培训过，感觉他们讲的方法都是很过时的方法，不太适用于新托福的考试。下面是我自己考了四次托福的感想： 2、其实考试的时候，观点找错的情况似乎不太会发生。。。因为阅读里面都有提示了啊。。。一般不会弄错的，所以不用担心，

重点是细节不要搞错，要挺清楚细节说了那几点，尽量不要落下那个点，细节齐全 3、写得时候模板适当用用，但是表全部都用，那样文章就有点僵硬了，你自己读着通顺就好啊。 4、文章内部用词要有多样性，要适当地用一些高级的词汇，如重要的这个意思，你不要只用important, 这样显得你不认识多少单词，可以用significant, vital, essential, of great importance, core, 这种意思相近的单词或者是意群来表达，这样他们就认为你词汇量大了。 5、写综合写作最能体现你的词汇量和句型的多边性，所以不要直接照抄听力或者是阅读的内容，这样就表现不出你自己了，多看看新概念4里面的表达方法，哪些句型神马的都很好，对考试很有用！！！ 6、模板没有对错之分，你自己需要好一个模板，然后自己用自己弄出来的，这样比较好，不过这种东西都差不多，重点还是看个人的表达神马的，还有词汇量什么的。

托福写作长期备考写作侧重面

托福写作长期备考写作侧重面如果备考时间充足，建议大家从根本上提升英语能力，提高写作水平,下面就和大家分享托福写作长期备考写作应该侧重哪些方面,希望能够帮助到大家，来欣赏一下吧。托福写作长期备考写作应该侧重哪些方面? 一.托福写作长期备考攻略之独立写作备考期较长的话，独立写作分为两个阶段：词汇和句型的积累和限时写作练习。 1.词汇和句型的积累首先，背诵高频词汇。可以参考学习的资料有新托福写作1180必备的词汇，或者是托福写作词汇小伴侣。其次，句型的积累。 2.限时写作练习前期的词汇和句型积累一定的量之后，就可以参照我们前面讲的一个月备考期的复习计划，可以看范文，限时练习写作即可。总之，写作部分不同于阅读和听力，需要的是先积累，后练习，方能赢得托福写作高分

二.托福写作长期备考攻略之综合写作备考时间较长的话，足够让那些综合写作听力听不懂的童鞋有一个质的飞跃。如何短期内攻破综合写作的听力，获得高分，下面来看看具体的备考步骤： 1.先3min读阅读，找出阅读的主题和3个中心论点; 2.听听力，把握听力的中心论点，分论点及论据; 3.听力内容听懂之后，20min计时写作，写完后检查自己的语法错误(三单、人称和时态); 4.听力内容听一遍之后没有听懂，则先不进行第三步，反复听听力音频直至听懂为止，补充第一遍的笔记，然后再去计时写作; 5.对于听4、5遍仍然听不懂的，不进行写作。直接做听写，在听写的文本中标出听力的中心论点、分论点和论据; 6.听写完成之后，再按照考试的流程，进行上述前三步; 上述过程，一方面是练习学生对于听力内容把握的能力，另一方面还是要练习写作，毕竟听力听懂之后能不能写明白还是要考察的是写作的能力，所以听写完成之后一定要再次按照考试流程去写作。托福考试作文范例：不同类型电影的价值判断

2014.11.9托福独立写作范文+解析

2014.11.9托福独立写作范文+解析 2014-11-10谢侃Kevin英语课堂文/谢侃（公众号：kevinenglishclass）【题】Which factor influences you the most when it comes to a major purchase: 1) recommendations from your friends or colleagues;2) information from media; 3) salesman in the market 题型分类：对比题论证角度：原因挖掘观点选择：让步开头：朋友同事的推荐影响最大。（话题引入+他人观点+明确立场+过渡）When people plan to buy something that costs a great deal of money, they will think twice before making the final decision. Factors that will affect the decision might be recommendations from friends and colleagues, information on media

and words of salesman in the market. Among all those factors, I believe that what friends and colleagues say play the most important role in helping us with the decision-making. I am going to elaborate my point of view in the following paragraphs. (75 words) 中间段1：同事朋友比较靠谱。（主题句+说理论证+细节例子） My first reason is that friends or colleagues’ words are reliable. When offering recommendations for us to make a purchase, friends and colleagues are highly unlikely to lie to us about the quality of the goods while TV commercials and salesmen will try to convince customers to make the deal by any possible means out of commercial purposes. Imagine that I want to buy a car, a salesperson probably recommend me an expensive car that is beyond my purchasing power. Conversely, if I have a friend who is a car-lover, he will guide me to buy a car with a high quality-price ratio. (103 words) 中间段2：朋友的建议能给我们完整的信息。（主题句+说理论证+细节例子）In addition, friends or colleagues’ recommendations provide us with complete information about the product, which is beneficial for making a wise decision. When friends or colleagues can recommend us something, they must have bought or tried this product so that they have a deeper understanding of the features of the product including its quality, price and value. In this sense, their advice is very helpful for our decision. For example, I am very satisfied with the computer that I have bought recently. Expect for its reasonable price, the performance far exceeds my expectation. It is attributed to the recommendation from my friend--Jack, who has already bought one before. (109 words) 让步段：当然，朋友和同事的推荐也不一定全部正确，因为其中或许有他们的个人偏好，并不适合我们，但是比起销售人员或电视广告的商业性而言，朋友同事的推荐还是值得参考的，但是最后还得自己做决定，也不能盲从。（承认漏洞+堵漏） Admittedly, I am not saying that recommendations from friends and colleagues are absolutely correct. They may involve their personal preferences when buying the goods, and therefore what they recommend to us may not be totally appropriate for our own situations. However, as long as we can fully realize our

托福写作之浅谈综合写作

托福写作之浅谈综合写作托福综合写作是怎样的一种形式呢?今天给大家带来了托福写作之浅谈综合写作，希望能够帮助到大家，下面就和大家分享，来欣赏一下吧。托福写作之浅谈综合写作根据托福OG有关综合写作的要求，评分标准主要为信息(information)和逻辑(organization)。这两点考察的就是我们对听力要点的把握能力，以及如何用简要的语言概括阅读稿和听力稿中的信息，并且层次清晰，要点明确。有的同学说，我听懂了，我直接写就好;有的说，我看懂了，但听懂了一部分，编下就行。其实不然。阅读稿看懂了，听力听懂了，只是一半。还需要将听力中的有效信息用自己的语言表达出来，并且也不能与阅读稿中的表达完全一致。在这里我将综合听力需要锻炼的能力列为以下三点： 1. 阅读能力(快、准) 2. 听写和速记能力(不是简单词不记，是记重点名词、动词或短语)

3. 一定的改写能力(这个就是我们对于句型的运用，涉及句子表达准确性、语态、词的适当替换等)。可能有的同学说听不懂，这里建议，如果练习听力，尽量用托福听力材料进行练习，因为托福听力材料内容信息量大，需要记的东西多，也能通过做题找到自己听力的盲区。如果托福听力能听懂了，托福综合写作的听力也没有问题了。这里附上两篇学生写的综合写作范文。 TPO26 Inthe listening material, the professor made several points about the invasion ofthe zebra mussels can be stopped. Firstof all, the reading passage states that the human transportation will cause theinvasion of the zabra mussels, while the professor contradicts that people cannotcontrol it in the past because of the lack of the knowledge. On the other hand,the ocean water will be taken by the ship to replace the freshwater, which maykill the mussels. Moreover,the reading passage also mentions that if the mussels are taken to the newplace, they wont have predators, while the professor refutes that they candominate it just for a short

托福TPO48独立写作题目文本+满分范文

为了帮助大家高效备考托福，为大家带来托福TPO48独立写作题目文本+满分范文，希望对大家备考有所帮助。托福TPO48独立写作题目原文： Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?Because modern life is very complex, it is essential for young people to have the ability to plan and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8813775096.html,e specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 托福TPO48独立写作满分范文1： Increasingly sophisticated technology, explosive information and intricate international relationships all work together to complicate the modern life, which makes our modern people somewhat overwhelmed. Individuals whoever want to have a better control of one’s life must equip themselves with some essential skills or abilities. Planning and organizing, which embodies the skill of anticipating, influencing, and controlling, in my view, is becoming gradually important in coping with today’s complication especially for the young who are always the most passionate but also with less self-control. First of all, planning helps keep one on course in achieving goals and crystallize objectives. Young people always possess some grand dreams which may take years to accomplish. Planning ahead, on the one hand, could effectively put one on the right track thus prevent energy from being scattered or wasted. A survey conducted by experts from Oxford University shows that over 90% of elites and enterprisers had precise objects and made plans for decades later at very young age. Like Bill Gates, one of the most prominent persons I have ever seen, discontinued their studies since he was definite aware of what he should do in order to become the leader of IT field. On the other hand, plans, which are organized step by step, could turn the ultimate goals into several achievable ones. With achievable objective achieved one by one, the ultimate goal will finally be attained. Besides, planning and organizing help to promise one’s best performance in most occasions. Panning means trying to anticipate all the possibilities and arrange things in a scientific order. It clearly tells people what to do currently and what should do the next, which prevents disorder or chaos. Thus, people may feel assured and will be with less stress. For example, a student who sticks to a study plan is less likely to be nervous thus will be more likely to have better performance than those who crams for tests. Today youngsters are exposed with fierce competitions but also abundant opportunities. Good performance is key to hold these opportunities in hand. It is undeniable that our society changes at such a quick pace that we cannot plan everything in previous. But this by no means implies that the ability is not important. Without a plan, complex things will only get more complicated. Abraham Lincoln reportedly once said, “If I had 60 minutes to cut down a tree, I would spend 40 minutes sharpening the ax and 20 minutes cutting it down.” Planning is just like “sharpening the ax”, which will no doubt facilitate a task easy done. All in all, though the ability of planning and organizing may not be omnipotent for people

2019年托福写作：TPO42综合写作阅读题目

2019年托福写作：TPO42综合写作阅读题目 TPO42综合写作题目文本 Integrated Writing Glass is a favored building material for modern architecture, yet it is also very dangerous for wild birds. Because they often cannot distinguish between glass and open air, millions of birds are harmed every year when they try to fly through glass windows. There are, however, several solutions that responsible businesses can use to prevent injuries to birds. One-Way Glass One solution is to replace the regular, clear glass with one-way glass that is transparent in only one direction. The occupants of the building can see out, but birds and others cannot see in. If birds cannot see through a window, they will understand that the glass forms a solid barrier and will not try to fly through it. Colorful Designs A second solution is to paint colorful lines or other designs on regular window glass. For example, a window could have a design of thin stripes painted over the glass. People would still be able to see through the openings in the design where there is no paint, while birds would see the stripes and thus avoid trying to fly through the glass. Architects can be encouraged to include colorful painted patterns on glass as part of the general design of buildings.

托福备考之独立写作满分范文整理

托福备考之独立写作满分范文整理 task：How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer. 托福备考之独立写作满分范文： The Influence of Television and Movies There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of visual media cannot be ignored. One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational program can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in

最权威的国际教育服务平台资料来源：教育优选 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/8813775096.html,/ 2014年4月27日托福独立写作范文(20140427ML) Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Your job has more effect on your happiness than your social life does. I totally disagree with the statement that your job has more effect on your happiness than your social life does. On the contrary, sometimes, social life plays a more crucial role in our lives than job does. We cannot identify which one is superior to another one because both of them all make contributions to our happiness. Firstly, happiness means that you have many friends indeed. It is necessary for you to make some friends with people who can depend on. It almost relies on our social life. When you are enjoying the party, participating in sports or meeting some people you even do not know before, there are lots of opportunities for you to learn, experience and make friends. Secondly, happiness also represents varieties of desires of many people to a large degree. We are not only desiring to be content ourselves, but also make families satisfactory. Some people who have no time spending on living with families even consider accompanying children and wife as a happiest thing in their lives. Generally speaking, spending time saved by jobs on taking them to social life, we may be content because their happiness is identical to your happiness. However, jobs could do something that is in different fields from social life. If we are successful in our jobs, we will have more conditions of material life to do something depends on money. Social life can not give us those enjoyable things as a result of having no money to afford. All the evidence above supports an unshakable conclusion that social life isn't secondary to job effects on your happiness, they all make contributions to our happiness.

托福综合写作答案详细解析

080105CNW1【08 年1 月5 日大陆托福机经写作第1 题-综合写作】 The reading passage explains the negative effects of introducing foreign species into a local ecosystem. The lecture, on the other hand, offers counterarguments to prove that introduced species many not necessarily be harmful. First, according to the reading, imported species may destroy the existing balance within an ecosystem. However, the lecturer argues that these species don’t always do harm to the local ecosystem. Instead they may bring benefits to local agriculture. Second, the reading states that imported species may destroy the useful aspects of local species. Yet the lecturer points out that this is not always the case. He points out that it depends on local circumstances. For example, the cane toads introduced into the state of Florida have helped to exterminate pests that have infested local harvest. Finally, the reading contends that imported species may add to the local economic burden. Again, the lecturer refutes this point by saying that the impact on local economy varies from place to place. He/She uses the example of mesquite to illustrate this point. This plant imported into Africa has been used as food and firewood by the local people, a useful contribution to the local economy. 080427CNW1 The reading passage provides three pieces of evidence to support author Gavin Menzies’s claim that it was Chinese who first visited the Americas. However, the lecturer dismisses this claim as unfounded. First, as to the markings resembling Chinese characters discovered on a rock on Bimini Road, the lecturer argues that these markings are natural formation rather than human engraving. It looks as if they were carved by humans but a closer examination by geologists would immediately reveal that they are formed by natural forces. Second, regarding the donut-like anchor found off the Coast of Bimini, which seems to be made by Chinese, the speaker suggests that this does not necessarily mean Chinese had been there first, because similar anchors had long been used in navigation by many other countries. Finally, the lecture refuses to view the stone towers on Bimini Island as evidence of the arrival of Chinese sailors earlier than others. He points out that although these towers look like a Chinese lighthouse from a distance, they are in fact built in an English architectural style. Furthermore, carbon dating technique has indicated that the construction by Chinese sailors took place much later than the 15th century.
