TPO-08 - Integrated Writing Task
Toward the end of his life, the Chevalier de Seingalt (1725-1798) wrote a Chevalier memoir recounting his life and adventures. The Chevalier was a somewhat controversial figure, but since he met many famous people, including kings and writers, his memoir's has become a valuable historical source about European society in the eighteenth century. However, some critics have raised doubts about the accuracy of the memoir. They claim that the Chevalier distorted or invented many events in the the to make his life seem more exciting and glamorous than it really was.
For example, in his memoir the Chevalier claims that while living in Switzerland, he was very wealthy, and it is known that he spent a great deal of money there on parties and gambling. However, evidence has recently surfaced that the Chevalier borrowed considerable sums of money from a Swiss merchant. Critics thus argue that if the Chevalier had really been very rich, he would not have needed to borrow money.
Critics are also skeptical about the accuracy of the conversations that the Chevalier records in the memoir between himself and the famous writer Voltaire. No one doubts that the Chevalier and Voltaire met and conversed. However, critics complain that the memoir cannot possibly capture these conversations accurately, because it was written many years after the conversations occurred. Critics point out that it is impossible to remember exact phrases from extended the held many years earlier.
Critics have also questioned the memoir's account of the Chevalier's escape from a notorious prison in Venice, Italy. He claims to have escaped the Venetian the by using a piece of metal to make a hole in the ceiling and climbing through the roof. Critics claim that while such a daring escape makes for enjoyable reading, it is more likely that the Chevaliers jailers were bribed to free him. They point out that the Chevalier had a number of politically well-connected friends in Venice who could have offered a bribe.
The reading mainly presents that there are three evidences to prove the coin was not brought by norse to america. however, the listening challenges what are stated in the passage by providing three strong evidences.
Firstly, in the reading, it is said that the location of Marine was so far from norse sites in Canada. they had no relation with each other. In contrast, the listening holds an opposed view that native americans travelled over a thousand kilometers to norse’s settlement and brought back the coin.
Secondly, the passage asserts that there are no other kind of coins found in the norse’s site. that means that norse has no coins in the native america. however, the professor also maintains an opposite opinion that norse didn't stayed at a place forever. When they returned back to Europe, they took away the valuable silver coins.
Finally, the author of reading passage believes that the North understand that the coin is not the most widely accepted form of native American’s currency. On the other hand, the lecturer disagrees it with the point that native americans prefer the valuable or unique items. so the norse can utilize the coin trade with the native americans.
