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 jar contained a copper cylinder surrounding an iron rod. The

Based on the given materials, the article as well as the lecture discusses discovered clay jars by villagers during constructing railroad line. Based on an archaeologist proposal, the vessel was an old electricity producer, whenever filled with liquids. The author of the article states that there are several evidences for rejecting the proposal. That being said, the lecturer provides several ideas to repudiate this claim.
Initially, the author says that there have not been seen any attached conductors to these discovered vessels, and they were found lonely. However, the speaker explains that local people have found these vessels, and because of not being archeologists, they would have seen attached conductors but they did not gather them, owing to the fact that they were not interesting enough to pay attention.
Second, the writer proclaims that there were the same copper cylinders in the ruins of Seleucia, and the vessels should have had the same purpose, which was holding scrolls of sacred texts. Yet again, the lecturer underscores that it is true that discovered issues in Seleucia were not vary from the vessels, but it does not prove anything. Ancient inventors might fill them with liquids, then they found out the electricity power of their invention. It means that the vessels may have had other functions but they were adapted by inventors later.
The final point of contention between the reading and the listening passage is lack of electrical devices. The writer thinks that there were no devices which work with electricity at that time. Thus, the electricity power of the vessels was useless. On the other hand, the speaker explains that the vessels were able to make a shock for people, like an invisible power. So, the ancient people could have used them not only to show their fake magical power but also, to heal patients by stimulating their muscles.

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.
