TPO-25 - Integrated Writing Task

The reading's author contends that the claim that the clay jars found in excavations were used as batteries cannot be accurate for several reasons. The lecturer, however, is not satisfied by the arguments presented in the reading passage. She refutes these arguments due to the following reasons.

First, since the jars were found by the local residents--not the archeologists-- there is a likelihood that they have also found other related objects such as wires and other conductors, and not realizing their significance, they could have simply thrown these objects away. So, the reading's statement that other electrical objects are not found does not prove that these objects did not exist.

Second, the similar jars found in the adjacent areas is not persuasive as well. Scientists have shown that Iron rod along with clay can be used for conducting electricity. There is the possibility that people had originally made the jars for other purposes, but then switched to taking advantage of them in other ways--like using them as batteries. This contradicts the reading's argument that the jars found in nearby cities show that they must have been used merely for holding sacred texts.

Third, there might have been several points in making electrical batteries. For example people could have used these batteries to claim that they possessed magical powers since these devices gave a shock to the person touching them. In addition, the batteries might have been used for medical purposes, the same way the modern medicin uses electricity in some treatments.
