Writing Task 1, Integrated Question.
For this task, you will read a passage, and then hear a lecture about an academic topic.
You will have 3 minutes to read the passage.
You may take notes during the reading and the listening.
The reading passage will be shown again, during the time when you are supposed to write, but
you will listen to the lecture only once.
You will have 20 minutes to write your response.
Effective responses are usually between 150 to 225 words.

Now listen to the lecture.
Ongoing investigations have shown that predation is the most likely cause of the sea otter decline after all.
First, there is a lack of dead sea otters washing up on Alaskan beaches,
which is not what you would expect from infections caused by pollution killing them off.
However, the fact that dead sea otters are seldom found supports the predator hypothesis.
If a predator kills an otter, then it is eaten right away and can't wash up on shore.
Second, orcas prefer to hunt whales. But whales have essentially disappeared in that area due to human hunters.
Since the whales are not as available, orcas have had to change their diet to what is available.
Since it is only smaller sea animals available, the orcas have probably started hunting those more,
and created the decline in all of the species mentioned in the passage.
And finally, predation is a more likely reason for the uneven pattern of otter decline.
Otters in locations that are more accessible to orcas are more likely to be hunted.
This is supported by the stable population of otters in shallow rocky locations where orcas can't access.
Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage.
