TPO 33 - Integrated Writing Task
In the passage, three theories are proposed for which the carved stone balls are used. In contrast, the lecturer holds an opposing point of view towards these three theories, saying these theories are indeed not convincing.
First of all, it is thought to be truth in the passage that carved stone balls served as weapons harnessed in the process of hunting or fighting because these balls have holes on it. Nevertheless, the professor highly contradicts that if those carved stone balls were weapons, they must have left some external appearance concerned with hunting or fighting. The truth is that they never show some parts broken. That is to say, it rules out the saying that they were weapons in use.
Apart from that, it seems to be plausible that those carved stone balls were utilized as part of a primitive system of weights ad measures since they were paralleled in size. Notwithstanding, the professor presents that although these balls are similar in size, they are distinctively different in mass. The reason for it is the balls are made of various stones. Meanwhile, a wide range stones differ in their densities. For the reasons above, the professor totally disagrees with this theory neither.
Third, in the passage, it is suggested that these carved stone balls serve as social purpose rather than a utilitarian one as they were all elaborated. Whereas, the professor says that if they served as social purpose, they need to be with intriguing design. The stone balls, however, do not display this point. On the contrary, they were pretty simple. Also, it cannot be discovered to be with high-ranking people, while people of that kind used to be buried with their precious personal possessions.
