The writer claims in the reading passage that the old silver coin which had been found in Europe is not a real evidence to prove the statement that ancient European was using silver coins. But the professor argues in the lecture that these ideas are not convincing. Clearly, they hold different views on the same topic.
First, the author presents a viewpoint that due to the distance that European must travel from North America and Europe is too long, which means they can’t bring such things from one place to another. However, the listening puts forward a different opinion that ancient Americans are interested in traveling and get things from another country. Therefore, what the reading states is refuted by the professor.
Second, the reading states that there are no other coins around, which means it will be many other silver coins that looks like this one around the place where this coin had been found if this evidence is true. While the lecturer argues that North America didn’t create silver coins themselves. On the contrary, they just bought silver material to Europe and reproduce it into silver coins. After that, they will pack up all the silver coins as well and return to North America.
Third, the reading claims that though silver coins are useful in North America, but not in Europe. While the professor contends that silver is a beautiful material which could be used for making jewelries, which could make a specific trade between American and European. In sum, the professor clearly points out the weaknesses in the reading.
