TPO-16 - Integrated Writing Task
The United Kingdom (sometimes referred to as Britain) has a long and rich history of human settlement. Traces of buildings, tools, and art can the from periods going back many thousands of years: from the Stone Age, through the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, the time of the Roman colonization, the Middle Ages, up to the beginnings of the industrial age. Yet for most of the twentieth century, the science of archaeology,dedicated to uncovering and studying old cultural artifacts,was faced with the problems and limitations in Britain.
First, many valuable artifacts were lost to construction projects. The growth of Britain's population, especially from the 1950s on, spurred a lot of new construction in British cities, towns, and villages. While digging foundations for new buildings, the builders often uncovered archaeologically valuable sites.Usually, however, they proceeded with the construction and did not preserve the artifacts. Many archaeologically precious artifacts were therefore destroyed.
Second, many archaeologists felt that the financial support for archaeological research was inadequate. For most of the twentieth century, archaeology was funded mostly through government funds and grants, which allowed archaeologists to investigate a handful of the most only remained sites but which left hundreds of other the projects without support. Furthermore, changing government priorities brought about periodic reductions in funding.
Third, it was difficult to have a career in archaeology. Archaeology jobs were to be found at universities or with a few government agencies, but there were never many positions available. Many people who wanted to become archaeologists ended up pursuing other careers and contributing to archaeological research only as unpaid amateurs.
The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the problem of reducig the archaeological data throughout britain. In the reading part, the author mentiones that britain has long-term history, however becouse of the lack of data we cannot distongishe the artifacts and data from a period to an other period. In the listening part, In contrast, the speaker challenges what the author states and refutes the reasons.
To begin with, as mentioned in the article, the writer sets forth that valuable artifacts have destroyed, tesulting in growing the cities and papulations and cunstructions in britain coused the problem; nevertheless, the professor rebitts the reasons asserting that in 1990, laws have altered and constuctions had to work with archaeologists and they can see just the interests of them and than they can changed the palace. it means that without the permition of archaeologist they cannot do anything. Indeed, they should preserv the dacuments, which is discoverd in the sites.
Secondly, the author points out that goverments should suppprt archaeological excavations.Juat as the governments do not interest to invest their money for fild workes, So cannot archaeologist work on the sites. Nontheless, the speaker flatly contradicts the reasons and contends that excavations would be payed by construction companies not the governments; moreover, it couses the new sources of money for archaeology excavations rather than the past. Therefore for new sources it is growing now.
Finally, the author claims that there is no availabe jobs for archaeologists nowadays becouse neither do they have supports of governmants nor do they have positions in universities, lacking careers for experts. In contrasts, the lecturer is of the opinion that not only do archaeologists acssess to more data to examine, preserve, and work and the prosses of excavations, but also the more increasing exavations the more increasing jobs existes for archaeologists.
