　　托福综合写作范文Sample answer:

　　The writer and the speaker have a debate on why Vikings left Greenland in the 15th century. The writer puts forward three hypotheses, which are opposed by the following lecture.

　　First, the writer claims that because of climate change, the temperature got lower so the Vikings did not have enough food. While the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle, according to him/her, Vikings relied on fish for food and climate change did not change the ocean and the fish.

　　Secondly, the passage states that local enemies drove out the Vikings. However, the speaker casts doubt on this opinion by saying that when the Vikings left, they took away all their valuables and tidied up, if they were driven out, they would have been in a rush.

　　Last, the writer argues that the trade between the Vikings and the European countries was cut off by Norway. By contrast, in accordance with the speaker, this claim does not hold water. The formal trade was cut off but the illegal and unofficial trade was still on going . Even the Norwegian King complained about the illegal trade was hard to control.
