Both the reading passage and lecture discuss whether the genetically modified trees (genetic modification) are good or not. The lecture argues that there are three reasons for not supporting genetic modification, on contrary the reading passage refutes each of these points.
First, the author of the passage claims that genetically modified trees are designed to be hardier than natural trees. However, the lecture contends that they may be not appropriate for some climates.
Secondly, the text asserts that these kinds of trees are economically useful. In contrast, the listening counters that they have hidden costs which you may not pay attention to them. For example, you cannot collect the seeds of modified trees and plant them. Legally you should pay to a company that you bought from it.
In third, the reading passage states that the utilization of genetically modified trees can stop excessively used of natural trees especially for timber and fire wood. On the other hand, the lecturer mentions that these trees can cause more damage of natural trees. Because both the natural trees and genetically modified trees grow in one place, but the growth rate of genetically modified trees are more than natural trees. So, they use the resources such as sunlight and water that it causes destroying the natural trees.

First
, the author of the

claims that

are designed
to be hardier than
natural
trees
.
However
, the lecture contends that they may be not appropriate for

Secondly
, the text asserts that these kinds of

useful.
In contrast
, the listening counters that they have hidden costs which you may not pay attention to them.
For example
, you cannot collect the seeds of

and plant them.
Legally
you should pay to a

In third, the reading

On the other hand

Because
