　　托福综合写作范文Sample answer:

　　The reading and listening discuss about the reasons why Angkor was destroyed. The reading points out three hypotheses. Whereas, the professor totally refutes the three points presented in the passage.

　　Firstly, the professor rebuts the reading’s first point that Angkor, which was quite affluent then, was damaged during invasion by others. The professor claims that there’s no recording about such invasion as mentioned in the reading passage.

　　According to the reading material, the second reason attributes to religious disputes. The religion of God King gave way to the Buddhism, which results in Angkor’s disappearing. The professor mentions that the religion in Angkor kept changing, which had never caused population reduced.

　　At last, the third hypothesis of the reading states that large scale of drought may be to blame. However, the professor explains that severe drought had happened before, none of which led to the decline of population.
