▶ Your Answer : In this given a set of materials, there are some discrepancy between on the views of the lecturer and the author over the issue about theories of the Mayan collapse. The Lecturer gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author's point. First, the lecturer claims that there are no records of any revolt., Even though the Maya used a sophisticated writing system. Moreover, It would have been possible to spread a revolt to other cities from one city since the Maya consisted of separated individual city-states. This casts doubt on the reading passage's suggestion that there were social turmoil of a peasant revolt in the Mayan society and this caused the downfall of Mayan society. Next, the lecturer insists that collapse resulting from a reorganization of trade route does not correspond to historical accounts. Teotihuacan declined during the sixth century, which reduced its economic importance. In other words, It would have been a key trade center before the Mayan collapse in the 12th century. This counters the reading passages's argument that changing trade routes would have been led to the Maya's disappearance. Finally, the lecturer argues that there is no evidence that the diseases were responsible for the mayan collapse. To elaborate in detail, Yellow fever and Malaria were founded in the sixteen century, however, the Maya's collapse was in the 12th century. In addition, If there was an epidemic, it would have been possible to find some reliable evidence such as mass graves. This refutes the reading passage's assertion that the disease caused the Mayan devastation.
예상 점수: 21-24 총평: 글을 매우 깔끔하게 잘써주셨고 본문과 강의의 내용도 잘 비교해서 서술해주셨습니다. 특히 각 문단의 시작에서 Topic Sentence로 중심을 잘 잡아주셨습니다. 문법적으로 봤을 떄 Mayan으로 소유격을 나타내야할때 그렇게 써주시는게 좋아보입니다. 또 두번쨰 바디에서 would have led가 문법적으로 맞는 표현이며 been은 필요하지 않습니다. 수고 많으셨습니다.
감사합니다 :)
