▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that coal
has some benefits for energy
sources. (이 부분 말이 되나요...ㅠ) On the other hands, the lecture brings up several points to contradict
this argument.
First, the speaker argues that it is
unlikely that coal is easy to mine. He says that coal mining is a very complicated process. This is
because coal that is located near the earth’s surface is limited. Thus, miners have to dig
ground deeply and they need to have high technical skills. So, mining coal may
require trained workers. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that
coal can be easily mined. Second, according to the lecture, it
is doubtful to say that coal transportation is cheap. The reason is that coal
is heavy and bulky, so the transportation costs [expenses] are high. Also, its
solid form is shipped is separated and
constantly shipped. As a result, its cost more expensive than other fuels. This
refutes the reading passage’s assertion that coal can be used constantly
because of its transportation fee is cheap.
The final point made by the lecture
is that it is not true that the coal industry creates many jobs. This is
supported by the fact that many coal-related companies make an effort to reduce
labor force [workforce]. In addition, the technical process [for extracting coal/of coal extraction] [improves/ has improved ], and thus fewer people are
required / has been required. So, the number of people who working for coal
companies decreases. The future
situation will even be worse. This counters
the reading passage’s argument that a lot of job are generated by the
coal industry.
