TPO-25 - Integrated Writing Task In 1938 an archaeologist in Iraq acquired a set of clay jars that had been excavated two years earlier by villagers constructing a railroad line. The vessel was about 2,200 years old. Each clay jay contained a copper cylin
Both passage and lecture discuss a vessel that was found by villagers constructing a railroad in Iraq, which is attributed to be a ancient electric batteries. The writer brings up the idea that this things it is unlikely that these things used as electric batteries, however, the speaker rejects the claim made in the passage.
Firstly, the professor argues that vessels was discovered by local people and villagers and they might find something that local people though that they are unimportant because these people did not train, hence threw away them. So, it is probable that in the area that villagers discovered wires and other conductors exists. By contrast, the author brings up a point that there is not any evidence of metal wires and conductors near excavated areas and thus, clay jars are not electric batteries.
Secondly, the lecturer states that it is true that copper cylinders look like the same as Seleucia, who used copper for holding scrolls, but this is not proved at all. She continues by stating that it is likely that firstly, ancient people utilized copper cylinders for holding scrolls and then they used in iron rods in order to produce electricity. Therefore, the ancient people utilized copper cylinder at first for one purpose and then, they adapted them to another aim. On the contrary, the author of passage believes that copper cylinders inside jars were used same as Seleucia, which was ancient city located nearby for holding scrolls.
Finally, although the writer claims that electric batteries were useless for ancient people because there were not any devices that replied on electricity, the speaker challenges this claim by saying that ancient people use electric current for creating mild shocks and tringling sensation. It is argued in the lecture that ancient people used electricity for convincing that they have magical power. Additionally, the professor points out that like modern medicine, ancient people make use of electric current for the healing of ailments and releasing sick people form pains, hence the electricity was useful for ancient people in the past time.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
