▶ Your Answer :
There was a phenomenon known as the Oil
Crisis on October 17th, 1973. It caused terrible damage to the United States’ economy. As the
reading passage mentions, because of the Oil Crisis, New York’s stock exchange has lost more than 90 billion dollars and gasoline
price had increased about 30%. Not only that, Aside from losing $90 billion dollars, countries which used to
trade with the United States have also
suffered a economical damages since they had less American ships delivering cargos. Thankfully, the Oil
Crisis has ended on the spring of 1974. However, this happening event caused the United States to change its energy
policy.
The professor from the
listening track mentioned two ways of getting becoming independent on energy
matter which the American government tried. The first solution cited was
reducing the oil usage. The American government ordered car companies to make
smaller and more energy-efficient cars. Also, they encouraged people to use
public transportation and planted a lot of nuclear power plants.
The other solution was
reserving the oil. Since the storage of gasoline was felt to be needed, the
American government made a plan of storing billion barrels of oil underground.
The purpose of this idea was to secure America’s economy from another
Oil Crisis, but there was a hidden purpose of storing enough oil to prepare for
wars.
각 문장의 주장에 따른 source, 즉 reading passage 의 내용인지 lecture 의 내용인지 분명하게 밝혀지지 않은 경우가 보였습니다. 세번째 문단의 경우 왜 문단구분을 하셨는지 궁금합니다. 만약 professor 의 계속되는 주장이라면 굳이 문단구분 하실 필요 없습니다.
보통은 reading 과 lecture 이 근거로 드는 3가지가 뚜렷하게 대조되기 때문에 근거 하나하나 비교/대조를 이루는 식으로 글을 구성합니다. 이렇게 했을 때의 장점은 reading 과 lecture 각각에서 주장하는 근거의 내용을 확실하게 보여줄 수 있다는 것입니다. 반드시 이 구성을 따르실 필요는 없으나 위와 같이 쓰실 경우 분명하게 대조되는 주장을 보여줄 수 있도록 신경쓰셔야 한다는 점~ 잊지 마세요~ :) |
