Both reading and lecture discuss about whether based on fossils discovered in 1996, a kind of dinosaur called Sinosauropteryx, had feathers or not. They precisely dispute about the patterns found on skeleton. The author brings up some points opposing this view that the dinosaur had feather, while the professor disagrees and rejects each idea.
First, based on the reading, these lines may cause after death of dinosaur, when its skin decomposed into fibers and are shown like lines. However, the speaker opposes this view, stating that this hypothesis is very unlikely to be true since such decomposition has not been found in any other fossils in the same site. Besides, the existence of volcanoes acts as a good presentation for feathers of the animal.
Second, the reading claims that these lines are much more likely to be fossilized of frills. this can mainly be true because these dinosaurs had frills. In contrasts, the lecturer explains that there is no chemical remains that supports this point. She asserts that feathers have a special chemical that is kind of protein. These chemicals have found in these fossils indicating that these lines are fossils of feathers.
Third, the passage declares that feathers should be located in places which help the animals fly but these lines were located in places such as backbone and tails of these fossils. Again, the speaker reveals that we have found some animals that had colorful feather on their tails. These feathers were colorful in order to attract mates. Therefore, we can accept the idea that dinosaurs had feathers on their tails.

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.
