▶ Your Answer :
The
reading passages contends several theories to explain the origin of Iron Age
forts built with vitrified stones in Scotland. However, the speaker brings up
several ideas to contradict all the theories.
First,
the speaker disputes the theory about signal fires. The author of reading
passage suggests that fires used to communicate with other communities caused
vitrification of surfaces of stones. However, the speaker points that the
places used for fires are only one or two places. In means that entire walls
cannot be vitrified by fires. This fact cast doubt on the argument.
Second,
the theory related to lightning is also refuted by the speaker. The author
argues that repeated strikes of lightning transformed rock into a vitrified
state. On the other hand, according to the speaker, it is implausible that the
lightning occurs in the same place repeatedly. The crack, which is suggested as
an evidence of the lightning theory may be also just caused by weathering over
long ages. This refutes the theory about lightning effectively.
Finally,
the speaker points that the theory about volcanic rocks is simply wrong.
According to the speaker, people used local materials for construction, but
there is no evidence for volcanic activities at the region. Furthermore, it is
not plausible that the people carried the heavy volcanic rocks from other
regions far from them. This contradicts the theory related to volcanic rocks.
All
in all, the lecturer asserts that all the theories which the author suggested
as the origin of forts in Scotland are problematic. Good: 24~30 점수: 24 통합형 에세이에서는 결론이 필요없습니다. 통합형 에세이에서 가장 중요하게 보는 것은 리딩과 리스닝을 얼마나 적절하게 잘 비교하였나 입니다. 지금 이 에세이는 이러한 부분에 있어서는 약간의 아쉬움이 있습니다. 리딩의 대한 정보들을 리스닝에 비해서 많이 부족합니다. 한 문장으로 리딩의 정보를 마치는 것이 아니라 리스닝을 반박할 수 있는 부분들을 더 서술해주시길 바랍니다. 수고많으셨습니다. |
