▶ Your Answer : The author of the passage and the speaker from the lecture reveal incompatible views over the issue of vision of wave farms in the future. Specifically, the lecturer presents three cogent explanations to invalidate the author’s argument on increase in utilization of wave energy facilities. To start with, the lecturer debunks the author’s first theory since wave energy facilities can receive disruption of power generating due to technical problem. To elaborate in detail, the lecturer claims that marine environment is harsh and an energy that comes from wave fluctuates widely. This view is in direct opposition to the author’s claim that wave farms are unbelievably dependable and predictable in generating power. In addition, the lecturer brings the validity of the author’ second idea into question. The lecturer sounds convinced that the author clearly is making an error about a statement that the facilities are friendly to the environment, since the facilities uses chemical that is harmful to ocean ecosystem. Also, a chemical which is used to move turbines is highly toxic. This means that lf such chemical leak into the ocean water, it is likely to negatively affect the ocean environment. In the passage, however, the author clarifies that water energy facilities do not consist of any dangerous fuels that threaten ocean system. Thirdly, the lecturer further expounds that the author’s final idea on the natural beauty of the surroundings that contain wave farm is flawed. To corroborate this opinion, the lecturer mentions that converter which is used in wave farm is highly visible, since it have to be painted by bright color. Moreover, it is set up close to the shore. This means that it can easily be discovered by tourist who is at ocean. This notion is inconsistent with the author’s theory that wave farm will not be outstanding to anyone in the area that the farm is installed. The lecturer, therefore, concludes that the author’s assumptions are all inconclusive. ( 글에 이상한 문장이나 문법 오류 또는 이해안되는 문장이 있으면 지적해주시면 감사하겠습니다ㅠㅠ 특히 글위 전개방식에 문제가 있는지 확인해주시면 너무너무 감사하겠습니다ㅠㅠ) |
