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

According to the given set of the reading passage, it is the author's conviction that the vessels, which have been found in Iraq, have not been used as electrical batteries owing to several highlighted reasons. However, the lecturer casts doubt on this justification and refutes each of the author's specific point by some counter-arguments that are as follows:

First of all, the author holds the view that there is not the existence of wires or conductors in the area, as a result, the vessels could not be utilized as batteries. On the contrary, the lecture finds this reason unconvincing by asserting that the vessels were found by local people, not archaeologists, so it is possible that other conductors and wires were neglected by these people.

Secondly, even though the reading passage posits that the vessels have been used in order to preserve scrolls, the lecturer agrees with this claim but he adds that it is possible after a while some inventors have added iron rods to produce a battery. Hence, the born of batteries might have been related to ancient people.

As the last point to emphasize the reading claim, the author says that the vessels have been thoroughly useless. Yet again, the lecturer states on the opposite side and contradicts that there is evidence that ancient people used them as a magical power due to its invisibility. Furthermore, doctors have used these vessels in healing to reduce the pain of human muscles by stimulating them. All in all, the points made by the author in the passage seems to be implausible.
