▶ Your Answer :
In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim that there are a lot of advantages of coal, so using the coal as an for energy source will continue in the future. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that the coal is complicated to mine. This is because Tthere is not sufficient amount of coal in the earth’s surface. The coal in the surface is almost exhausted so it is not true that due to their location, coal mining is quite easy. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that the coal is commonly placed close to the earth’s surface, so it is easy to mine without specialized equipment to dig deep.
Second, the professor insists that the coal’s transport transporting coal is quite expensive. The coal is heavy and bulky. Also, there are several trips to transport by truck and train. These reasons make coal mining’s the transport expensive. This counters the reading passage’s claim that the coal mining is cheap to transport. Unlike oil, natural gas and hydrogen, it transports in solid form that causes low risks of accident.
Finally, the professor argues that it is not true that the coal industry creates more jobs for employees. Most companies tend to focus their efforts on developing labor-saving technology to reduce the number of workers. As a result, the number of employees will be decline in the future. This refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that the workers have more jobs due to coal industry.
Comment : 전반적으로 두 지문의 대립점을 잘 짚어주신 것 같아요. coal(석탄) 자체로 표현되어야 하는 것과 coal mining(채탄 작업)으로 표현되어야 하는 것이 명확히 구분되지 못한 부분들 체크해주시면 좋을 것 같아요. 다양한 표현 면에서 점수 획득에 유리하도록 the professor, the speaker, the lecturer, the lecture, the listening passage와 같이 같은 대상을 여러 지칭으로 표현하는 부분 신경써보시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 수고 많으셨습니다~!
Integrated Writing Rubrics Score 4/5 A response at this level is generally good in selecting the important information from the lecture and in coherently and accurately presenting this information in relation to the relevant information in the reading, but it may have minor omission, inaccuracy, vagueness, or imprecision of some content from the lecture or in connection to points made in the reading. A response is also scored at this level if it has more frequent or noticeable minor language errors, as long as such usage and grammatical structures do not result in anything more than an occasional lapse of clarity or in the connection of ideas.
