▶ Your Answer :
The professsor states that the New World indeed was
discovered by European explorers by presenting several reasons. This directly
contrasts the reading which says the Chinese are true men who discover the New
World.
First, the professor, in contrast to the reading, says
that discovery of stone anchors does not prove that first settler to the New
World is the Chineese. The professor says stone anchors are not left by
Chinese explorers before Columbia's discovery, but left by Chinese-American
fishermen who imitate the stone to the older one from their ancesters. Also,
the professor says chemical type of stone is actually found in stone of
California. In contrary to this, the reading says stone anchors prove that
Chinese mariners arrived the land before Columbia's arrive.
Second, the professor contradicts the reading by
claiming that lighthouse found near the town of Newport is flaw evidence,
because according to radioactive equipment, it proved that the lighthouse was
dated to 1630. Thus, it is imposible to match this lighthouse to the lighthouse
in China which dated in 13Cs. Furthermore, in 1630, many Europeans were
civilizing lands, so it is plausible that this lighthouse is left by Europeans
explorers. In contrary to this, the reading argue lighthouse found in the land
is very similar to lighthouses constructed in China.
Lastly, the professor casts doubt on the reading by
claiming that any languages can be seen similar even though they are not in
relationship or contact. Thus it cannot be assumes that Chinese language has deep connections with Native
American language. The similarity between these two laguage is only
coincidence. However, the reading strongly argues that there are interactions
between two languages. |
