Agnostids were a group of marine animals that became extinct about 450 million years ago. Agnostid fossils can be found in rocks in many areas around the world. From the fossil remains, we know that agnostids were primitive arthropods-relatives of modern-

The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the way agnostids lived long time ago. The reading claims that those marine animals were sea floor dwellers and parasites. However, the lecturer refutes the author's assessment. She demonstrate three reasons to cast doubt on the claims made in the reading
.
The first allegation of the script against which the orator argues is possibility that agnositdes were predators.The lecturer refutes this point by stating that predators should have large eyes to be able to attack it's pray. However, the fossil remains of such arthropods does not show that they did. In fact, it shows that they barely they had undeveloped eye and they could barely see. Thus, it is unlikely that they were predators.

secondly, according to the text it is possible that agnosides were seafloor dwellers.The speaker also find this idea debatable. She bolsters her opinion by stating that seafloor dwellers are slow movers, and do not cross large distances. However, the remains of agnosides shows the contrary. She asserts that the remains were spread over large areas. thus, they are not dwellers.

Lastly, the lecturer contradicts the fallacy of the passage that agnosides were parasites. The professor again disagree with the author. He contends that parasites should be small in numbers. However, the fossil remains of agnosides indicate that they were large in number. Being large in number means that they cannot be parasites because other wise they would eat there pray.

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.
