TPO10 Integrated Writing
The reading and listening materials have a conflict about whether the vessels were ancient batteries. The writer believes that these vessels should by no means be identified as batteries, which is contradicted by the following lecture.
For starters, the author claims that there is not any metal wires that were found nearby while the speaker views this issue from an opposite angle. That is, these vessels were discovered by local people, not by archeologists. In this situation, it is highly likely that these untrained local ones cannot recognize metal wires and conductors. So, they may overlooked them and threw away these.
In addition, the passage argues that these vessels may be used to hold scrolls by raising an example of copper cylinders in Seleucia. However, the professor opposes this argument by saying that this copper cylinders in the vessels may function for scrolling at first, whereas it can also serve another purpose later. Actually, it is the case that when the copper cylinders are filled with some liquid and such stuff, they can create electricity. Therefore, the first battery is born in such process.
Finally, the writer views that batteries were useless for ancient people. By contrast, in accordance with the professor, his statement cannot hold water. Because the batteries can produce mild shock and tingling sensation, （so）ancient people may take advantage of this invisible power to make others believe that they have magic power. Also, nowadays, doctors use electric current from batteries to stimulate muscle, reducing pains. Therefore, chances are high that ancient people may use it for the same sake.
