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

The lecture claims that a set of clay jars found in Iraq earlier by local people was used as electric batteries in ancient time. This claim is not in agreement with that of the passage, which suggests that it is impossible for these vessels being used as batteries in that time.

To begin with, the lecture argues that these vessels were found by local people who were lack of professional knowledge. They may found some metal wires but they were not able to understand how to use them, so the wires were not reported. The passage, on the contrary, suggests that no metal wires found near the jars means the vessels were not used as batteries otherwise they would be attached to some electric conductors.

The second point of difference between the lecture and the passage concerns the use of copper cylinders inside the vessels. the lecture asserts that people in that ancient city invented these cylinders to hold scrolls first, then people found they can be used in other ways, like batteries, so the similarity of the copper cylinders found in two different places does not prove anything.

Finally, the lecture argues that electricity batteries could not only be used to shock people as the symbol of some magic power they cannot explain at that time but also can be used for healing muscles for its effect of releasing. However, the passage contends that there is no way for ancient people to use batteries because there was nothing they could use that replied on electricity.
