Essay topics:

Nutria is a beaver-like rat, sized approximately 24 inches long, growing up to 20 pounds, and usually living in semi-aquatic habitats. This creature originated in South America but is now widely spread throughout the ecosystem, becoming an annoying pest that harms the environment. Several solutions to prevent nutrias have been proposed in response.

One way is to use strong fences and walls made out of hard materials. Since nutrias have strong teeth to chew off wooden or Styrofoam structures, metal fences and walls can be effective. This would prevent nutrias from damaging farms, lawns, and gardens. Once they are installed, an extra maintenance fee would not be necessary, which means it is also reasonable in terms of price.

The second way is to dry up the drainage. Any place where water is running can be an attractive place for nutrias to use as a habitat or a travel route. Consequently, removing water from drainage could stop the nutrias from populating the place. Such a measure would be effective, especially in highlands where drainage systems are frequently used for growing sugar canes or rice crops. This is because, in contrast to lowlands, water does not stream permanently in high sites.

The third method is to cook nutrias for food. Unlike common thoughts, nutria meat has a tender texture, making it a favorable delicacy to the dinner table. Nutrias are also very nutritious. They contain high amounts of proteins and carbohydrates and low levels of fat and cholesterol than other domestic animals. For example, beef has less than 17 grams of protein per 100 grams, while nutrias contain an average of 22 grams.

The reading passage and the lecture both discuss the solutions to prevent nutrias from damaging people's properties and the environment. The reading passage presents three possible solutions and makes them look very effective in serving the purpose. The lecturer disputes the level of effectiveness presented in the passage. His position is that the methods may not be as successful as expected by the author.

According to the reading passage, building strong fences and walls out of hard materials will prevent the nutrias from damaging people's properties. The article mentions that the nutrias will not be able to chew off metal fences and walls as easily as they can chew off wooden or styrofoam walls. Also in author's opinion, this will require no maintenance afterwards making the solution affordable. This argument is challenged by the lecturer. He states that nutrias are very at digging as they have sharp claws. No mater how high the walls are buit, they can still go into the privately owned lands by digging underground. This outstanding digging capability of nutrias make the idea of building walls and fences around the lands look redundant. They can always dig underground and damage people's properties.

Secondly, the author suggests that drying up the drainage systems in highlands can discourage the nutrias from using these drain as a habitat or a travel route. The lecturer, however, asserts that this method would be too extreme to terminate nutrias, as this will severely affect farming in highlands. The drainage carries water for farming, and drying them up will inhibit the proper growth of the crops. Thus the livelihood of the people living in highlands will be negatively affected

Finally the author says that considering nutrias as a food source can turn the problem into the people's benefit. The author contends that nutrias are very nutritious, containing high amount of protien and carohydrates and less fat. But the author argues that this should be avoided as it can have severe impact on consumer health. The nutrias carry many bacterias, parasites and disease spreading pathogens. These can induce various diseases like tuloremia, tuberculosis etc. The pathogens can cause fever, drastic weight loss and other diseases in the people consuming nutrias. So adding nutrias to one's meal plan is not a good idea, at all.
