Car manufacturers and governments have been eagerly seeking a replacement for the automobile's main source of power, the internal-combustion engine. By far the most promising alternative source of energy for cars is the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine, which uses hydrogen to create electricity that, in turn, powers the car. Fuel-cell engines have several advantages over internal-combustion engines and will probably soon replace them.One of the main problems with the internal-combustion engine is that it relies on petroleum, either in the form of gasoline or diesel fuel. Petroleum is a finite resource; someday, we will run out of oil. The hydrogen needed for fuel-cell engines cannot easily be depleted. Hydrogen can be derived from various plentiful sources, including natural gas and even water. The fact that fuel-cell engines utilize easily available, renewable resources makes them particularly attractive.Second, hydrogen-based fuel cells are attractive because they will solve many of the world's pollution problems. An unavoidable by-product of burning oil is carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide harms the environment. On the other hand, the only byproduct of fuel-cell engines is water.Third, fuel-cell engines will soon be economically competitive because people will spend less money to operate a fuel-cell engine than they will to operate an internal-combustion engine. This is true for one simple reason: a fuel-cell automobile is nearly twice as efficient in using its fuel as an automobile powered by an internal-combustion engine is. In other words, the fuel-cell powered car requires only half the fuel energy that the internal-combustion powered car does to go the same distance.

The essay does not address the specific requirements of the task. It is incomplete and does not summarize the points made in the lecture or explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage. To improve, you should:

  • Begin with an introduction that briefly introduces the topic and states that the lecture casts doubt on the reading passage's claims.

  • Write a body paragraph for each point made in the lecture, explaining how it contradicts or challenges a corresponding point from the reading passage.

  • Conclude by summarizing how the lecture casts doubt on the reading passage's claims.

Example 1: Introduction: The reading passage discusses the potential benefits of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines as an alternative to internal-combustion engines. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by presenting several counterarguments.

Example 2: Body Paragraph: The first point made in the lecture is that hydrogen is not as easily available as claimed in the reading passage. Producing pure liquid hydrogen requires complex technology and energy-intensive processes, which contradicts the assertion that hydrogen is a practical and easily available substance.

4.Essay structure and organization: The essay lacks structure and organization. To improve, you should:

  • Follow a clear structure with an introduction, body paragraphs for each point discussed, and a conclusion.

  • Ensure each paragraph focuses on one specific point from either the reading or listening passages.

  • Use clear transitions between ideas and paragraphs to guide readers through your essay.

Example 1: Transition between paragraphs: While the reading passage claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells will solve pollution problems, this idea is challenged by the lecture. (Begin discussing pollution-related counterargument from lecture)

Example 2: Conclusion: In conclusion, the lecture presents several counterarguments that cast doubt on the reading passage's claims about the benefits of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines. By addressing issues related to hydrogen availability, pollution, and cost, the lecture effectively challenges the optimistic view presented in the reading passage.

  1. Revised Essay

The reading argues that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are a promising alternative to internal-combustion engines, offering advantages such as renewable resources, reduced pollution, and economic competitiveness. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by presenting counterarguments that highlight the challenges and limitations of fuel-cell technology.

Firstly, the reading states that hydrogen is an easily available and renewable resource, derived from sources like natural gas and water. In contrast, the lecture contends that obtaining pure liquid hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is a complex process. It requires advanced technology to produce and store liquid hydrogen at extremely low temperatures (minus 253 degrees Celsius). This suggests that hydrogen may not be as practical or readily accessible as the reading implies.

Secondly, the reading claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells will help solve pollution problems since their only byproduct is water. However, the lecture points out that producing pure hydrogen generates significant pollution. The purification process necessitates large amounts of energy obtained from burning coal or oil, which in turn creates pollution. Thus, while fuel-cell cars themselves may not pollute directly, the production of hydrogen for these vehicles would still contribute to environmental degradation.

Lastly, the reading asserts that fuel-cell engines will soon be economically competitive due to their higher efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines. The lecture challenges this assertion by highlighting the high manufacturing costs associated with fuel-cell technology. Fuel-cell engines require platinum components for the chemical reaction needed to generate electricity. Platinum is a rare and expensive metal; efforts to find a cheaper alternative have been unsuccessful thus far. Consequently, any potential cost savings from increased efficiency could be offset by these high production costs.

In conclusion, although hydrogen-based fuel cells appear promising in theory as an alternative energy source for automobiles, the lecture raises valid concerns regarding their practicality, environmental impact, and economic feasibility—effectively casting doubt on the optimistic claims presented in the reading passage.

However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by presenting counterarguments that highlight the challenges and limitations of fuel-cell technology (revised to emphasize the contrasting viewpoints).

Firstly, the reading states that hydrogen is an easily available and renewable resource, derived from sources like natural gas and water (revised for conciseness). In contrast, the lecture contends that obtaining pure liquid hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is a complex process (revised to emphasize contrast). It requires advanced technology to produce and store liquid hydrogen at extremely low temperatures (minus 253 degrees Celsius) (added specific detail). This suggests that hydrogen may not be as practical or readily accessible as the reading implies (clarified conclusion).

There will be more pollution during the purification process. It needs to burn coal and oil to provide enough energy to purify the water. In this way, there will generate more pollution and be more harmful to the environment. Third, although the reading material suggests that hydrogen-based engines are more fuel-efficient and thus economically competitive than internal-combustion engines, the professor argues that such an advantage is undermined by the fact that fuel-cell engines are extremely expensive to manufacture because they require a very rare and expensive component. Without it, the hydrogen does not undergo the chemical reaction that produce electricity to provide energy to automobiles.

6.文章修订

The article highlights several advantages of using fuel-cell engines, yet the lecturer in the listening material counters these points by arguing that hydrogen-based engines are technologically unfeasible, environmentally unfriendly, and economically unsuccessful.

To begin with, although the reading passage claims that hydrogen is an abundant energy resource, the lecturer presents a different perspective. He asserts that hydrogen is not easily available since it cannot be obtained directly from common substances like water. Instead, it must be derived from pure liquid hydrogen, which is highly artificial and requires advanced cooling technology to maintain storage at extremely low temperatures of minus 253 degrees Celsius.

In addition to the availability issue, while the author contends that fuel-cell engines can alleviate environmental pollution, the lecturer disputes this assertion. He explains that although fuel-cell engines themselves may not produce pollution, the process of obtaining pure hydrogen does generate pollution. The purification process for obtaining pure hydrogen from water or natural gas requires a significant amount of energy, which is typically obtained by burning fossil fuels like coal and oil. Consequently, this results in increased pollution levels rather than solving environmental problems.

Lastly, despite the reading material suggesting that hydrogen-based engines are more fuel-efficient and thus economically competitive compared to internal-combustion engines, the professor argues that such an advantage is undermined by their high manufacturing costs. Fuel-cell engines necessitate components made of platinum—a rare and expensive metal—without which hydrogen cannot undergo the chemical reaction required to produce electricity for powering automobiles. So far, efforts to replace platinum with a cheaper alternative have been unsuccessful.

By addressing these concerns raised by the lecturer—hydrogen's availability challenges, pollution generated during its production process, and high manufacturing costs—the optimistic outlook presented in the reading passage regarding fuel-cell engines appears less convincing. (292 words)

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The essay primarily highlights the benefits of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines in comparison to traditional internal-combustion engines. However, the lecturer contends that these advantages are overstated and largely unrealistic.

Firstly, the author claims that hydrogen, essential for fuel-cell engines, is easily obtainable. In contrast, the lecturer argues that this resource is not as readily available and usable as suggested. This is because hydrogen must be maintained in a pure liquid state, making it challenging to produce and store. To keep hydrogen in this liquid state, an extremely low temperature must be maintained.

Moreover, the article posits that using hydrogen-based fuel cells can effectively resolve pollution issues since burning this resource only produces water. Nevertheless, the speaker points out that the production process of hydrogen generates more pollution. This is because the purification stage necessitates a significant amount of energy derived from burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil.

Lastly, while the text emphasizes the economic competitiveness of fuel-cell engines, it fails to consider their higher costs compared to internal-combustion engines. The reason for this increased expense lies in the necessity for an expensive metal catalyst to facilitate the chemical process that generates electricity. Consequently, fuel-cell engine costs will unavoidably rise due to this requirement. (207 words)

First, even though the reading passage suggests that hydrogen needed for fuel-cell engines is avaiable from various sources, which is superior comparing to the limited petroleum, which is needed for internal-combustion engines, the professor argues in the lecture that it may not be practical to produce large amount of hydrogen. This is because the manufacturing process and storing requirments of hydrogen is extremely complex. Obviously, the professor’s argument disproves its counterpart in the reading. Secondly, despite the statement in the reading that using fuel-cell engines could benefit the environment, the professor contends that adopting hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines will not pollute less than using internal-combustion engines. Then she supports this point with the fact that the manufacturing process of fuel-cell engines requires numerous energy, which is generated by buring oil or coral. In other words, even though fuel-cell engines may not pollute, the factories that produce them will pollute. Finally, the professor asserts that fuel-cell enginees may not be as economically competitive as people assumed whereas the author of the reading claims the other way. The professor proves that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that hydrogen-based fuel engines require an expensive element to work, and there is no replacement of that certain material so far. In conclusion, the professor clearly identifies the weaknesses in the reading passage and convincingly shows that the central argument in the reading, the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine is a better replacement of internal-combustion engine, is incorrect.

The professor in the lecture casts doubt on the optimistic assessment of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines presented in the reading passage. She disagrees with the notion that these engines have several advantages over internal-combustion engines and will probably soon replace them, arguing that hydrogen is not the solution to these problems.

Firstly, contrary to the passage's claim that petroleum is a finite resource and hydrogen is easily available, the professor contends that obtaining hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is not as straightforward as suggested. Although hydrogen is present in common substances like water, it must be obtained in a pure liquid state for use in fuel-cell engines. This process requires elaborate cooling technology to maintain a temperature of minus 253 degrees Celsius, making it less practical than initially thought.

Secondly, the professor challenges the reading's assertion that using hydrogen would solve pollution problems associated with cars. She explains that producing pure hydrogen actually generates significant pollution. To obtain pure hydrogen from water or natural gas, factories must employ a purification process powered by burning coal or oil – both of which contribute to pollution. Thus, while cars themselves may not pollute when using hydrogen-based fuel cells, the production process still causes environmental harm.

Lastly, the professor disputes the passage's claim that fuel-cell engines will soon be economically competitive due to their efficiency. She highlights that manufacturing these engines is expensive because they require components made of platinum – a rare and costly metal essential for facilitating chemical reactions needed to produce electricity for powering automobiles. Efforts to replace platinum with cheaper materials have so far been unsuccessful, casting doubt on potential cost savings associated with adopting fuel-cell engines. (279 words)

The author in the reading passage delcares an assortment of factors that the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine is a better choice for automobile's source of power. However, a professor offers a compelling counterpoint, contesting these claims with well-structured arguments. Firstly, the professor challenges the author's statement that hydrogen is easily available. She holds a different perspective, emphasizing that although hydrogen exists in common goods around the world, it is not easy for us to get the pure source. A necessary process of using hydrogen as fuel is to pure it into liquity, which needs complex technology and very extreme conditions for storing step. Secondly, the professor refutes the claim that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine is more environmental friendly. The generation process of puring hydrogen causes an abundance of pollusion that comes from the burning of oil and other fossil fuel. In fact, it may do more harm to the environment. Lastly, while the passage implies that fuel-cell engines costs less money, the professor presents a dissenting view. She stresses that a very expensive metal is used in fuel energy, which is hard to find the substitution right now. So the cost of fuel-cell engines is still high. In conclusion, the professor thinks that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine will not be the solusion for automobile's main source of power.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are a superior alternative to internal-combustion engines for automobiles, citing several advantages. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by presenting counterarguments that challenge the reading's assertions.

Firstly, the reading states that hydrogen is an easily available resource, making it an attractive option for fuel-cell engines. The lecturer disputes this point, explaining that while hydrogen is present in common substances like water, extracting it in its pure liquid form is a complex and technologically demanding process. Moreover, storing liquid hydrogen requires maintaining extremely low temperatures of minus 253 degrees Celsius, necessitating elaborate cooling technology.

Secondly, the passage claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells would help solve pollution problems caused by burning oil. The lecturer contradicts this assertion by explaining that producing pure hydrogen itself generates significant pollution. To extract pure hydrogen from water or natural gas, a purification process is required which consumes large amounts of energy derived from burning coal or oil – both of which contribute to pollution. Thus, although fuel-cell cars may not directly pollute the environment, the factories producing hydrogen for these vehicles would still generate pollution.

Lastly, the reading suggests that fuel-cell engines would be economically competitive due to their higher efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines. The lecturer counters this point by highlighting the high manufacturing costs associated with fuel-cell engines. These engines require components made of platinum – a rare and expensive metal – to facilitate the chemical reaction needed to produce electricity for powering automobiles. Efforts to replace platinum with more affordable materials have so far been unsuccessful.

In light of these counterarguments presented by the lecturer, it becomes evident that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines may not be as viable a solution for replacing automobile's main source of power as initially suggested in the reading passage. (303 words)

The author in the reading passage delcares posits that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are a superior alternative to internal-combustion engines for automobiles, citing several advantages. However, the lecture casts doubt on these claims by presenting counterarguments that challenge the reading's assertions (Changed "delcares an assortment of factors that the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine is a better choice for automobile's source of power. However, a professor offers factors" to "citing several advantages" and "offers a compelling counterpoint, contesting these claims with well-structured arguments. counterpoint" to "presents counterarguments" for clarity and conciseness).

Firstly, the professor challenges reading states that hydrogen is an easily available resource, making it an attractive option for fuel-cell engines. The lecturer disputes this point (Changed "challenges the author's statement that statement" to "disputes this point" for clarity), explaining that while hydrogen is easily available. She holds a different perspective, emphasizing that although hydrogen exists present in common goods around the world, substances like water, extracting it in its pure liquid form is not easy for us to get the pure source. A necessary process of using hydrogen as fuel is to pure it into liquity, which needs a complex technology and very extreme conditions for technologically demanding process. Moreover, storing step. liquid hydrogen requires maintaining extremely low temperatures of minus 253 degrees Celsius, necessitating elaborate cooling technology.

Secondly, the professor refutes the claim passage claims that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine fuel cells would help solve pollution problems caused by burning oil. The lecturer contradicts this assertion (Changed "refutes the claim" to "contradicts this assertion" for variety) by explaining that producing pure hydrogen itself generates significant pollution. To extract pure hydrogen from water or natural gas, a purification process is more environmental friendly. The generation process of puring hydrogen causes an abundance of pollusion that comes required which consumes large amounts of energy derived from the burning of coal or oil and other fossil fuel. In fact, it – both of which contribute to pollution. Thus, although fuel-cell cars may do more harm to the environment. not directly pollute the environment, the factories producing hydrogen for these vehicles would still generate pollution.

Lastly, while the passage implies that fuel-cell engines the reading suggests that fuel-cell engines would be economically competitive due to their higher efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines. The lecturer counters this point (Changed "presents a dissenting view" to "counters this point" for clarity) by highlighting the high manufacturing costs less money, the professor presents a dissenting view. She stresses that a very associated with fuel-cell engines. These engines require components made of platinum – a rare and expensive metal is used in fuel energy, which is hard to find the substitution right now. So the cost of fuel-cell engines is still high. – to facilitate the chemical reaction needed to produce electricity for powering automobiles. Efforts to replace platinum with more affordable materials have so far been unsuccessful.

The article presents three advantages of fuel-cell engines to claim that it is highly likely that they will replace the internal-combustion engines; however, the lecture cast doubt on such view, stating that it is too optimistic to come to such conclusion. Firstly, the article indicates that petroleum is finite resource while the hydrogen is sustainable and can be derived from various sources like water, thus making the hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine appealing. In contrast, the lecture argues that although petroleum is finite, hydrogen is not a solution as it is not easily available. Even if it is present in water, it could not be directly used as it involves sophisticated technology to process the pure liquid to be the hydrogen in the form of artificial substance in the extremely cold temperature of lower than minus 250 degrees. Thus, the first advantage referred in the article is not practical. Secondly, the article holds that the hydrogene-based fuel cells are attractive because they will solve the problem of pollution. However, the lecture opposes such view, pointing out that although the hydrogen-based fuel cells are eco-friendly, the process to produce the cells cost energy as it burns coal and oil, thus still causing pollution. Thirdly, the article mentions that the fuel-cell engines cost less money for people to operate and thus more economically competitive. Yet the lecture disputes such viewpoint, stating that it will not lead to cost savings since an expensive metal named platinum is involved in the process to generate required electricity to power the cars. If we use cheaper materials instead of platinum, it has not been proved to be successful so far.

The reading passage explores the issue that advantages of fuel-cell engines outweigh internal-combustion engines. The professor's lecture deals with the same issue. However, she contradicts that hydrogen is not the solution to these problems, she uses three specific points to support her idea. Firstly, even though the reading passage suggests that internal-combustion engine depends on petroleum which is a finite resource, the professor argues in the lecture that hydrogen is not such a practical and easily available substance. This is because hydrogen must first be obtained in a pure liquid state which is difficult to produce and store, which means hydrogen is not as easily available as the passage indicates. Obviously, the professor's argument disproves its counterpart in the reading. Moreover, contrary to the statement in the reading that hydrogen-based fuel cells wouldn't pollute the world, the professor contends that using hydrogen would not solve the pollution problems associated with cars. Then she supports this point by saying that factories have to produce pure hydrogen by burning coal or oil. In other words, although the cars would not pollute, the factories that generated the hydrogen for the cars would pollute. Lastly, the author of the reading claims that the fuel-cell engines are nearly twice as efficient as internal-combustion engines. Nonetheless, the professor proves that this claim is indefensible by pointing out that there won't necessarily be any cost savings when considering how expensive it is to manufacture the fuel-cell engine. To conclude, the reading is the way to optimistic in its assessment of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage posits that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines will likely replace internal-combustion engines due to their numerous advantages. However, the lecturer in the listening passage disputes this optimistic view, arguing that the benefits of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are overstated.

Firstly, the author contends that unlike petroleum-dependent internal-combustion engines, hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is not easily depleted. In contrast, the lecturer asserts that hydrogen is not as readily available as suggested since it must be converted into a pure liquid state before use, which is both technologically challenging and impractical.

Secondly, the author claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells are environmentally friendly. The lecturer, however, casts doubt on this assertion by explaining that producing pure liquid hydrogen requires significant energy derived from burning coal and oil. Consequently, while the cars themselves may not pollute, the factories generating hydrogen for these vehicles would still produce considerable pollution.

Lastly, the author argues that fuel-cell engines are cost-effective due to their superior efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines. The lecturer counters this point by highlighting the high manufacturing costs associated with fuel-cell engines. Specifically, platinum—a rare and expensive metal—is required for the chemical reaction that generates electricity in these engines.

In the reading passage, the author cites presents three advantages of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine to support their viewpoints that engines, arguing that they will likely replace internal-combustion engines will probably soon be replaced. Nevertheless, soon. However, the lecturer in the listening passage argues that the author is too disputes this optimistic about hydrogen-based fuel-cell engine and opposes the advantages view and challenges the benefits claimed by the author.

First and foremost, the author maintains Firstly, the author contends that unlike petroleum-dependent internal-combustion engine which relies on petroleum, the hydrogen required by engines, hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is not easily depleted (changed "easily to be used out. However, out" to "easily depleted" for clarity). In contrast, the lecturer offers an opposing stance, stating that hydrogen used by fuel-cell engines asserts that hydrogen is not easily as readily available because as suggested since it cannot must be directly used unless through converted into a pure liquid state; however, it's impractical without purification technology. ¶ Additionally, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's another reason state before use (rephrased for clarity), which is both technologically challenging and impractical.

Secondly, the author claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells are more eco-friendly. eco-friendly (changed "environmentally friendly" to "eco-friendly" for variety). The lecturer, however, casts doubt on this assertion by explaining that producing pure liquid hydrogen requires significant energy derived from burning coal and oil (rephrased for clarity). Consequently, while the cars themselves may not pollute, the factories generating hydrogen for these vehicles would still produce considerable pollution.

Lastly, the author argues that fuel-cell engines are cost-saving due to their superior efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines (rephrased for clarity). The lecturer demonstrates that the process of deriving pure liquid hydrogen need lots of energy mostly through burning coal and oil which will also bring large amount of carbon dioxide from factories. ¶ Finally, the author's third viewpoint - that operating fuel-cell engines is cost-saving because fuel-cell automobile is twice efficient as internal-combustion engine - is also counteracted counters this point by the lecturer. The lecturer points out that the author has ignored the expense on highlighting the high manufacturing the fuel-cell engine. Plankton which is a very pricy metal used costs associated with fuel-cell engines. Specifically, platinum—a rare and expensive metal—is required for the chemical reaction that generates electricity in chemical interaction to produce electricity, and any attempts these engines (rephrased for clarity). Efforts to replace it platinum with cheaper matel are unsuccessful.more affordable materials have thus far been unsuccessful (corrected "cheaper matel" to "more affordable materials").

Section Title: 6. Article Revision

The reading passage posits that hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines will likely replace internal-combustion engines due to their numerous advantages. However, the lecturer in the listening passage disputes this optimistic view, arguing that the benefits of hydrogen-based fuel-cell engines are overstated.

Firstly, the author contends that unlike petroleum-dependent internal-combustion engines, hydrogen for fuel-cell engines is not easily depleted. In contrast, the lecturer asserts that hydrogen is not as readily available as suggested since it must be converted into a pure liquid state before use, which is both technologically challenging and impractical.

Secondly, the author claims that hydrogen-based fuel cells are environmentally friendly. The lecturer, however, casts doubt on this assertion by explaining that producing pure liquid hydrogen requires significant energy derived from burning coal and oil. Consequently, while the cars themselves may not pollute, the factories generating hydrogen for these vehicles would still produce considerable pollution.

Lastly, the author argues that fuel-cell engines are cost-effective due to their superior efficiency compared to internal-combustion engines. The lecturer counters this point by highlighting the high manufacturing costs associated with fuel-cell engines. Specifically, platinum—a rare and expensive metal—is required for the chemical reaction that generates electricity in these engines. Efforts to replace platinum with more affordable materials have thus far been unsuccessful.
