TPO10 Intergrated Writing
The reading and listening materials have a conflict of opinions about which can better explain the decline of sea otters, environmental pollution or predation theory. The author believes that it is the environmental pollution that causes this problem, which is contradicted by the following lecture.
For starters, the writer claims that there are some sources of pollution known by people while the professor views this issue from an opposite angle. According to her, actually people have not found dead sea otters washing off the beaches. That is, if this decline is due to contamination, it is by no means appropriate that there is not any remnant of it. Yet, if the cause is predators, they would be eaten immediately, which could explain the absent of remnants.
In addition, the passage states that only environmental pollution can lead to entire drop. However, the speaker opposes this view by saying that because whales have been hunted by human, orcas are highly likely to change their diet. In this situation, the small sea mammals, such as sea lions and sea otters, who are available, become their alternative prey.
Finally, the writer argues that the influence of predators could not result in uneven pattern of decline. By contrast, in accordance with the professor, his opinion does not hold water. The reason is that sea otters are more likely to choose their location that are inaccessible to orcas, as they would deplete there. In this case, the shallow and rocky location of the sea that big orcas cannot approach is their good choice. Thus, the population of there remains.

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.
It is not exactly right on the topic in the view of e-grader. Maybe there is a wrong essay topic.
