　　托福综合写作范文Sample answer:

　　Both the reading and listening are discussing that there are 3 reasons revealing that Portuguese sailors had been to Australia before 1606. While the passage believes so, the lecturer casts doubt on the writer’s view from the 3 aspects below.

　　Firstly, in the reading passage, a map of 1550 in Europe had shown a location that is quite similar to today’s Australia. On the contrary, the professor says that the map might be made by the second-hand story told by ancient Asian sailors, who had been to Australia earlier time, so Portuguese sailors had not been to Australia.

　　Secondly, the professor opposes reading’s idea that in 1593, there was a book in Europe referred to the kangaroo, which is typical in Australia. He states that the kangaroo do not exist in Australia only, and there are kangaroo in America as well. European sailors had explored America before.

　　Finally, the professor disapproves the reading’s idea that researchers had found iron keys which were made in Europe in the Australia soil. Analysis of the soil shows that the date can be back to 1500s. However, later researches conducted by a new and improved analysis method suggest that the date of soil cannot determine the date of the keys.
