integrated task
The reading states that it is possible and beneficial to establish colonies of humans in the asteroids and provides three key reasons to support this view. However, the lecturer finds all these reasons implausible and says that the idea of colonies is not practical now.
First, the reading argues that due to the low gravity of asteroids, landing and taking off is easier and safer for a spacecraft. Also, the spaceships can carry more pieces of equipment. On the other hand, the professor highlights the fact that low gravity can cause serious risks for astronauts. In addition, she mentions that low gravity condition leads to low bone density and low muscle mass. She then says that even the astronauts who pass a short time mission in space face these problems. Therefore, long-time missions will be worse.
Second, the article claims that the asteroids contain mines of valuable metals. This will be attractive for sponsors and provides sufficient budgets. However, the lecturer dismisses this idea and states that a high amount of cost is needed to support the colonies, provide essential pieces of equipment, and transport the metals to Earth. Additionally, She asserts that the increase of supply will lead to a decrease in the price of valuable metals.
Finally, the reading asserts that it is easy to reach the asteroids due to their special orbits. Conversely, the professor brings the fact that although it is easy to reach the asteroids, it is not easy to return to Earth. She then states that the orbits of the asteroids are very unusual. In some parts of their orbits, they even go further than Mars. Therefore, it would not be practical for humans in the mentioned colonies to come back.

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