TOEFL T P O 49 - Integrated Writing Task

The reading passage proposes three reasons to explain how humpback whales conduct the migration behaviour. It said humpback whales are intelligent enough to navigate by observing the stars.While the lecturer completely disagrees with the statements given in the reading passage.

Firstly, the intelligence has no direct connection with the ability of migration. The lecturer illustrate his agrument by giving an example that birds migrate by using the stars in the night for orientation, but the intelligence of birds is only average not that intelligent. In this case, we can not find the connection between intelligence and the ablility of migration.

Secondly, there is surely internal driving force to motivate the action. The lecturer figures out it is the magnetic force of the earth rather than the observation to help humpback whales on their route when they migrate. They are very sensitive to this kind of force.

Lastly, not only humback whales exhibit the spy-hopping behavior, so do the sharks. Sharks do not mirgrate,they conduct spy-hopping when they are hunting and even in the night without stars. So this evidence provides that spy-hoppying has nothing to do with humpback whales' migration behavior.
