The main idea of both the passage and the talk is about the common beliefs about surprising elephant behaviors. The author presents three astonishing behavior of elephants. The lecturer challenges all the arguments and believes that all of these beliefs are based on misunderstanding by people.

Firstly, the author states that elephants are aware of approaching death since they leave their herd when they become older. Conversely, the lecturer brings up the idea that when the elephants become elder, they have difficulty to chew all the plants because their teeth lose its capability. In this case, the older elephants leave the herds to obtain softer plants for their survival. Additionally, because the softer plants are usually located near water sources, elephants die in those locations.

Moreover, the author asserts that elephants are able to paint some recognizable artistic pictures such as flowers on a canvas. The speaker, on the contrary, points out that elephants are capable to paint only certain things such as lines because they are trained to perform these tasks. As a result, the mentioned lines do not represent any specific objects.

Eventually, the reading passage holds the opinion that elephants have a fear of mice and provide a scientific experiment to show the accuracy of this belief. The lecturer, on the other hand, says that elephants like other animals when see an unfamiliar animals show some unusual behavior. Furthermore, she claims that elephants do not show same behavior in the zoo because they are familiar with mice. Therefore, this belief cannot be true.

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.

More content wanted.
