總論點:歷史學家稱第一個繞非洲航行的是腓尼基人。根據一些古代的資料,歷史學家指出是埃及王國僱傭腓尼基人來完成繞非洲航行的。然而,有很多其他的歷史學家認為事實並非如此。

理由一:在公元前600年的時候,腓尼基人的航海技術不足以支撐他們完成非洲航行。他們的船隻非常小,而且只有一個簡單的方帆。這樣的技術只適合在腓尼基附近的地中海航行,並不適合長期在非洲航行。

理由二:古埃及人對於探索世界沒有興趣。所以埃及國王沒有理由去僱傭腓尼基人去探索非洲。

理由三:繞非洲航行的記載可能只是水手編造出的一個故事,然後被傳播開來。在古代,編故事然後將它當它散播並不罕。在那時候,海怪和魔力島的故事就非常普遍。

總論點:是埃及王國僱傭腓尼基人來完成繞非洲航行的。

理由一:腓尼基人是有能力航行非洲的。在二十世紀,一些科學家使用一模一樣的材料複製出了當時腓尼基人的船隻,結果他們使用這只船成功的完成了繞非洲航行。

理由二:不同於大部分的古埃及人,埃及國王Necho二世對於探索世界很感興趣。例如,他對水運就很感興趣,因此他啟動了一個項目去連接埃及的河流和外面的運河。他想發展水運的目的可能是為了和其他國家有貿易往來。所以他很有可能為了尋找新的貿易夥伴,而雇腓尼基人去探索非洲。

理由三:一些記載上的事實表明腓尼基人不可能編故事。當腓尼基人向南航行很遠遠的距離的時候,他們發現正午十二點的太陽是是在北邊而不是南邊。這個現象只發生於難辦就,而腓尼基人來自北半球,所以如果不是他們真的去到了南半球,他們是不會觀察到這個現象的。

經典範文
The passage states that Egyptian king, Necho II, didn't hire Phoenician sailors to sail around Africa. In contrast, the professor says it is more possible that Phoenicians were hired by Necho II to sail around Africa.

First, the writer states that the Phoenician didn't have the necessary technology that allows them to sail around Africa. However, the professor argues that the Phoenician had the ability to sail around Africa. Some scientists and shipbuilder used exactly the same materials and techniques to build a copy of an old Phoenician ship and the scientists successfully sailed this copied ship around Africa. So, Phoenician ships might good enough for distant voyages.

Second, the reading mentions that ancient Egyptians are generally uninterested in exploring the world beyond their kingdom. But the professor indicates that Necho II had a different perspective in exploring areas outside Egypt. For example, he starts a project to connect Egyptian rivers and seas to canals for trading purposes. As a result, he probably hired the Phoenician sailors to sail around Africa to help them discover new trading partners.

Third, professor contradicts the reading by saying that the Phoenician sailors were unlikely to invent the story because they had already reported some facts. For instance, when they sail far to the south, they notice that the sun was in the northern part of the sky at mid-day, which exactly happens in the southern hemisphere. The fact is the Phoenicians comes from the northern hemisphere. Thus, only they had actually gone to the southern hemisphere, could observe the sun. (257 words)
