Like many creatures humpback whales migrate long distances for feeding and mating purposes How animals manage to migrate long distances is often puzzling In the case of humpback whales we may have found the answer they may be navigating by the stars

The reading states that humpback whales migrate long distances for feeding and mating purposes. Several reasons illustrate how animals manage to migrate long distances. On the other hand, the lecturer finds all the reasons mentioned by the reading dubious and refuted them all by specific details.
First, the reading states that the whales' brain power far exceeds that of most other animals. They could provide a sound basis for the ability to use a complex, abstract system of sensory stimuli such as the night sky for orientation. On the contrary, the speaker states that ability is different from intelligence, for example, dukes are not intelligent birds but born whit some abilities like finding their way on the water so this evidence is not convincing.
Furthermore, the lecture holds the view that humpback whales migrate in straight lines. Whales, cannot rely on land features; they could rely on stars at night to provide them with external signs by which to maintain direction over long distances. On the contrary, the professor emphasizes the fact that animals must send signals to guide them in the right direction. Biomagnetite gives them the ability to manage migration.
Finally, the author argues that humpback whales exhibit a type of behavior known as spy-hopping. One explanation for espionage is that whales look at stars and obtain information about their movements. Conversely, the professor dismisses this issue because spy-hopping is used by other animals such as sharks. Sharks do not look at the sky for migration, these animals use this ability for hunting. That is why the professor thinks the evidence is not convincing.

We are expecting: No. of Words: 350 while No. of Different Words: 200
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.
