Both the reading and lecturer are about a public practice which was submitted in late 1960s in the United State. It was called " let it burn" . Whenever a fire was being occurred, it could burn itself quickly without any intervention. The reading provides an example of Yellowstone’s forest fire which was harmed with this approach. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article and she finds all of arguments dubious. She believes that forest fire is a natural phenomenon which does not have destructive consequences, but also it would provide positive conditions in a cycle.
First of all, the author of reading declares that huge section of trees and small plants chocked up and died up due to Yellowstone’s fire. This point is challenged by the professor. She points out that after a forest fire, new plants would be colonized and meanwhile plants have a chance for diversifying. Some small planets also start growing while formerly they did not have such a great opportunity. For example, when some tall trees or plants are killed by fire, there is not any shadow for blacking the growth of other small vegetation, thus they start burgeoning. Or some seeds which could have not already been opened, would be cracked.
Secondly, the article contends that this practice has negative effects on animals. The food chain and animals' habitats may be destroyed; conversely, the professor expresses that after burning, small places will be displayed in the forest floor and animals such as rabbit or mice can live in those mentioned places; consequently, these small animals are the main resource of food for large predators such as wolf or fox.
Finally, the reading passage states that if people rely on the aforementioned practice, burning will reduce the number of tourists and as a result, local business would be harmed in this way. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer. She poses that this phenomenon does not occur every year. The combination of low rain, strong wind cause fire to become massive; however it hardly occur. So after burning Yellowstone, next year visitors came back again.

Whenever a
fire
was
being occurred
, it could burn itself
quickly
without any intervention. The

provides an example of Yellowstone’s
forest
fire
which

First of all

Some
small

also
start
growing while
formerly
they did not have such a great opportunity.
For example
, when
some
tall trees or

are killed
by
fire
, there is not any shadow for blacking the growth of other
small
vegetation,
thus
they
start
burgeoning. Or
some

conversely
