Some people believe that when busy parents do not have a lot of time to spend with their children, the best use of that time is to have fun playing games or sports. Others believe that it is best to use that time doing things together that are related to schoolwork. Which of the two approaches do you prefer?

Both the reading and the lecture is about the reality of a coin found at an archeological site in Maine. The writer states that some archeologists believe that the coin is not real and provides three reasons to endorse its idea. However, the professor explains that the coin is a genuine piece of evidence showing the contact between Norse and America and gainsays each of the reasons mentioned in the reading.
First of all, the passage begins by asserting the great distance between two archeological sites. The coin was found in North America while the Norse settled in eastern Canada. Due to a huge location difference, it is not evident that the coin has any connection with the settlement. In contrast, the professor exerts that many other objects were found with the coin in Maine which belonged to native Americans. It shows that they traveled a great distance at that time, therefore they found the coin and brought it to Maine with them.
Next, the professor further delves into details that Norse did not settle permanently in America and went back to Europe. They would have brought the silver coin with themselves and have taken it back along with their other stuff. These claims refute the writer's implication about the absence of further coins at the archeological site, and that the Norse did not bring any silver coins to North America.
Ultimately, the article wraps its argument by declaring that the Norse knew that the silver coins cannot be used as money in America, so, they did not bring them. On the other hand, the professor rebuts this reason by showing the inaccuracy of the author that these coins are valuable to Americans. Since the Norse knew it, they could have used them for trade prupose.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
