The lecturer talks about the benefits of the natural forest fires, which completely refutes the theories in the passage. She states that fires don’t only destroy, but also create. This means that “let it burn” policy is fundamentally good.

First, fires make the opportunities of diversity. For example, when some vegetation in Yellowstone were burn by the forest fires in 1988, some new or small plans got chances to grow up and some seeds could geminate because of the high levels of heat. This directly contradicts what the passage indicates.

Second, the small plants that replace the trees after the fire create habits to certain animals such as rabbits, and make certain food chain stronger. This is another part where the actual benefits of forest fires contradicted the concern in the passage.

Third, forest fires in Yellowstone don’t happen very usual and the yearly rain fall could clean the mess after fires, so fires would not destroy local economy. Tourist will come back after the fires and enjoy the new scenes there.
In other words, the fires will not compromise the value of the part but contribute to the forest’s diversity as natural forces.

Some people believe that people should follow their ambitious dreams and goals even they are not realistic, others believe that people should focus on achieving realistic goals.

Everyone has dreams and goals, but not everyone is doing his/her best to chase the dreams. Many people think of their dreams all day without doing anything or trying their best. Eventually, they give up their dreams and regard their goals as non-realistic dreams.

In my view, people should follow their hearts and go for their dreams. Doing so is the only way that you won’t have lots of regrets when you are old.
Some people define their goals as non-realistic dreams because they care about other people’s thinking too much, like the opinions of parents, friends. And people like to listen to this kind of opinions because they believe their parents and friends are giving suggestions with kind purposes. However, kind advices may not be helpful in certain circumstances. For example, a man wants to contribute to his country by attending army, but his parents worry about the risks and try to convince him that he could not a good soldier. Or a girl wants to be a model but all her friends don’t think she is pretty enough. People usually think in their own way and stand in their own shoes. So taking other’s advices without thinking about their stands is not wise in your decision-making process. Sometimes, you may miss great opportunities just because you care too much about other’s thoughts and forget to ask yourself what you really want.

You may say that we should get the suggestions from the experts. This is a good way to get real perspectives from someone who is already good in that field. For example, you go to see a biological professor when you are choosing major of college; you consult with a successful shop owner about your plan of opening a shop. Somehow, you are told that your plans are not realistic. In this case, quit and give up easily are not the only way to go, you should consider their suggestions thoroughly and make decisions. Perhaps no experts support the ideas of creating facebook or google, but if their founder just give up their plans, they could not be so successful as they are today.

People define their dreams as realistic goals or non-realistic goals by themselves. In my view, people should go straight for their dream and focus on achieving it with considering but not obeying suggestions from other people.
