The reading
and the lecture are both about the EAS. Whereas the reading states that the EAS
is so beneficial, the lecturer disagrees with the author's opinion. The
lecturer casts doubt about the three main points made in the passage.
First of all,
according to the reading, the EAS enables rural people to arrive in the city
fast and cheaply. However, the lecturer disputes the idea. He says that the bus
or car takes the same time compared with riding an airplane. So, there is no
reason to go to the airport to go to the city. It is just a waste of time.
Secondly, the
reading states that the suburbs can get an economic benefit. Nevertheless, the
lecturer believes that the rural needs to spend money on making a new job. He
says that if the town has more workplaces, then the town can be developed like
a big city.
Finally, the
reading claims that since the EAC is operated by small aircraft, it helps
people save money. On the other hand, the lecturer contradicts the statement.
He says that the small size of aircraft means that they have to be repaired
frequently. Therefore, if we consider maintaining fee, it is not
cost-effective.
In
conclusion, although the reading and the lecturer are both about the EAS, the
lecturer contradicts the three main points made in the reading are effectively
challenged by the lecturer
