Altruism
Altruism is a behavior type where the living being prioritize others to themselves.While the reading passage suggests some examples and the findings from it,the lecture proposes opposing conclusion from the findings.
The reading passage points out a specific species of animals, meerkats and their altruistic behavior by stating that one of the meerkats acts as a sentinel , protecting other meerkats who either hunt for food or eat food they have obtained by alarming them when it saw the predators nearby.Due to this, it goes without food while others eat.In contrast, the lecture posits that the sentinel eats beforehand and serves as the safeguard.
Furthermore, according to the passage the sentinel meerkat put itself in danger and the other meerkats escape as a group because of the alarm and the sentinel has to flee alone.But the lecture points out that the other meerkats are in danger because , even though the predators are attracted by the sentinel signals, their awareness turn to the group of meerkats which are escaping together or moving apart thereby putting them in danger.
The passage suggests that human by donating their organs to relatives or third person exhibits altruistic behaviour. But the lecture points out that the donor enjoys the appreciation received which is considered as self-worth, thus non-considerable reward may be valuable to some people, which in turn leads to non-altruism in them.

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.
