▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage and the lecture are both about Egyptian pyramids. The reading passage contends that the pyramids could be constructed by concrete for three reasons. The lecturer opposes the idea by bringing up three specific points.
First, the lecturer argues that there is no evidence that Egyptian had skill to make concrete. She says that the vases referred in reading passage would be made by putting them together each piece. This goes against the reading passage's view that Egyptian was skillful to be able to build pyramids with concrete because several vases were made of concrete at that period.
Second, the lecturer points out that the concrete of boulders was not ancient concrete but modern concrete for restoration process to fix the pyramids, so nobody knew (시제 -> 과거) when or how the concrete was added. In addition, it was the (관사 필요) only way to preserve the pyramids. This casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that numerous air bubbles is evidence that Egyptian made the pyramids with concrete.
The final point made by lecturer is that unexpected moisture is not the proof pyramids were constructed with concrete. This is because human activities such as exhale of many people year after year caused the moisture in pyramids. This rebuts the reading passage's perspective that the moisture in the pyramids represents they were made of concrete. |

1. 철자 오류가 잦은 편입니다. 심한 감점의 요인이 될 수 있으니, 에세이 작성을 마치시고 꼼꼼히 검토해주세요.
+) 단어를 외우실 때 스펠링을 집중적으로 외워주세요.
2. reading and listening의 비율이 너무 listening쪽으로만 치우쳐져 있습니다.
비율은 5:5, 적어도 6:4 정도는 되어야 합니다.
이는 리딩에 대한 디테일 부족으로 이어지며, 분량 부족, 추가 설명 실패 등으로 이어질 수 있으니
리딩에서도 evidence를 많이 찾아서 써주시면 좋을 것 같습니다.
수고하셨습니다. *^^*
