托福综合写作范文Sample answer:
The writer and the speaker have a debate on whether the cave paintings of Lascaux are used to guarantee successful hunting. The writer provides three reason to support this, which are opposed by the following lecture.
First, the writer claims that most of the animals painted on the wall are usually large mammals, such as bison, wild horses, and cattle, and rightly they are the animals hunted by people. Besides, some animals are hurt by arrows and spares. While the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle, according to him/her, some animals on the painting such as cats are the kind of animals that would be hunted, and some important preys are not on the painting, such as reindeers. In addition, there were just small group of wounded animals.
Second, the passage states that human figures with the heads of horse appeared in the painting in order to disguise themselves. They might be a hunter wearing a head mask. However, the speaker casts doubt on this opinion by saying that those human figures are not standing up, but lying horizontally, and some of them even were at the back of the animals, as if they were sleeping. So we can not interpret what these really means.
Last, the writer argues that the theme of those painting may reflect the culture of local people. In their belief, the painting of the scene of successful hunting can herald that real hunts will be successful. By contrast, in accordance with the speaker, this claim does not hold water. The contents of the painting may actually record certain ceremony, for they believed that they could communicate with their ancestors by the media of animals.
