The reading passage proposes three reasons for colonization in an asteroid. However, the professor opposes these claims and suggests that all of them are impractical. In the lecture, he uses three points to support his idea.
Firstly, the passage contends that it is safer and easier to land in or take off on the asteroid due to the lower gravity. On the contrary, the professor contends that such lower gravity would cause some serious problems in the long term. For instance, according to the professor, the loss of bone density and the muscle mass will lead to severe health problems on the human\\\'s body. This is the first point where the lecturer disproves the passage.
Second, while the passage claims that mining valuable metals on an asteroid would be profitable, the professor rebuts it by pointing out that this is not a whole picture. As the professor said, the cost of transporting the metals and supporting such a program may fail to enable the business or colonists to be profitable. Moreover, there is not a guarantee that the market price of metal would remain the same after these valuable metals emerge in the market. This is the second part where the speaker disagrees with the author.
Finally, the author argues that because of the shorter distance with Earth, asteroids very easy to reach. However, the professor refutes it by saying that it may easy to reach but it could be difficult to come back. He maintains that the distance between the asteroid and Earth is not always constant. On the words, the asteroid may be closer to Earth at one certain point but move away from Earth later. Thus, it would be a challenge to return after the asteroid was far away from Earth. This is the last point where the professor contradicts the author.

Better to have 5 paragraphs with 3 arguments. And try always support/against one side but compare two sides, like this:
para 1: introduction
para 2: reason 1. address both of the views presented for reason 1
para 3: reason 2. address both of the views presented for reason 2
para 4: reason 3. address both of the views presented for reason 3
para 5: conclusion.
So how to find out those reasons. There is a formula:
reasons == advantages or
reasons == disadvantages
for example, we can always apply 'save time', 'save/make money', 'find a job', 'make friends', 'get more information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
or we can apply 'waste time', 'waste money', 'no job', 'make bad friends', 'get bad information' as reasons to all essay/speaking topics.
It is not exactly right on the topic in the view of e-grader. Maybe there is a wrong essay topic.
