▶ Your Answer :
It is controversial over whether Coal will continue to be used in the future
due to its merits. The reading is providing three pieces of evidence to prove
its points, whereas the lecturer argues against it by providing three
compelling rebuttals.
To begin with, the author in the reading passage points out that coal mining
process is easy to mine. To be specific, coal resources are located on
the close surface, so it does not difficult to dig. This differ from
the lecture is that digging is so much complicated
considering the process is almost exhausted and require a high
technology.
In addition, the fact that using coal continuously is cheap to
transport does not make sense. The problem is that coal is heavy and
voluminous, which means that transporting
coals is limited. Moreover, it requires several trips. The
result is more expensive than other methods. This is in opposition to the
reading passage that coal is not dangerous thanks
to its solid form.
Finally, the
final assertion made by the professor is that what developing
coal industry leads to making a lot of job created is not true. This
is because the process needs serious effort to attain their
goals. Besides, the developed machine replaces human. Therefore, many
people would be even declined in the future. This refutes the
reading passage which states that the
coal industry will create several jobs because
it is major employer.
