Câu hỏi IELTS Speaking Part 3 với từ vựng IELTS trong khảo cổ học

Bạn có coi khảo cổ học là một khoa học quan trọng không? 

Yes, most definitely! History books just cannot provide a glimpse into the past that archaeology provides. When we interact with artifacts that have been discovered after thousands of years, history becomes palpable and we are able to interact with the past in a very real way. We gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the universe by learning how human civilization has changed (and not changed) over time. The agricultural revolution, the development of cities, and the demise of historic civilizations and empires have all benefited from archaeology.

• Glimpse (n): cái nhìn thoáng qua
• Palpable (adj): có thể sờ thấy
• Human civilization (n): văn minh nhân loại
• Agricultural revolution (n): cuộc cách mạng nông nghiệp
• Demise (n): sự biến mất
• Empire (n): đế quốc

Phải chăng các tác phẩm nghệ thuật cần được bảo quản tại các bảo tàng của quốc gia mà chúng thuộc về? 

There are strong reasons for both sides of this ethical dilemma. On the one hand, it’s simple to state that artifacts should be kept in their country of origin and belong to that nation. They have the right to benefit financially from the tourism these artifacts bring in because it is part of their past. However, there are some instances where it can be argued that historical artifacts should be kept in other nations for the purpose of preservation.

The Elgin Marbles, for instance. It is generally accepted that Athens’ climate and air pollution will hasten the deterioration of these magnificent statues. Alternatively, we could consider the Syrian museums that were looted and destroyed recently. If those artifacts had been carefully kept in a nation without the prospect of war, they could have been saved.

• Ethical dilemma (n): tiến thoái lưỡng nan về mặt đạo đức
• Preservation (n): sự bảo tồn
• Hasten (v): đẩy nhanh
• Deterioration (n): giảm giá trị
• Magnificent statues: những bức tượng tráng lệ
• Loot (v): cướp bóc
• Without the prospect of: không có triển vọng

Which archaeological artifacts define our era?

It’s tough to predict exactly what will be kept for hundreds of years, but I believe that plastic artifacts would be the most apparent and depressing choice. Single-use plastics have a negative impact on the environment, thus we will eventually stop using them. However, due to their incredible longevity, they will undoubtedly be left behind thousands of years from now to pollute the planet. Thus, the few generations—including our own—that have used plastics will always be linked to them.

• Plastic artifacts: đồ tạo tác bằng nhựa
• Apparent (adj): rõ ràng
• Depressing (adj): chán nản
• Longevity (n): tuổi thọ
