▶ Your Answer : The lecturer insists that the ancient Greeks really used the burning mirror. This contradicts the reading passage's claim that the story regarding of the burning mirror that the ancient Greeks used them is unreasonable and ridiculous. First of all, the lecturer asserts that the many ancient Greeks knew how to make the burning mirrors effective by using the pieces of copper. He says that the ancient Greeks were smart enough to accomplish it perfectly. This refutes the reading passage's assertion that the ancient Greeks did not have the technology that helps them to make a new device. Secondly, the speaker argues that Roman’s ships only were not made of wood. He mentions that there were other materials for making ships that could catch fire quickly even when the Roman's ships are moving. This counters the reading passage's argument that the burning mirror was not used by the ancient Greeks because it has a negative feature that it takes a lot of time to set the ships on fire. Lastly, the professor claims that the Roman navy knew about attacks utilizing the burning mirror well. So, the burning mirror is more suitable to strike their enemies than the flaming arrows. This casts doubt on the reading passage's contention that because of the effectiveness of using flaming arrows, the ancient Greeks did not have to use the burning mirror.

전체적으로 구조도 괜찮고, 문법도 깔끔합니다.
다만 아쉬운 점은 디테일이 너무 없습니다.
evidence를 최대한 많이 잡아주시는 것에 초점을 맞추고
분량 증량에만 신경써주시면 좋을 거 같습니다.
수고하셨습니다. *^^*
