The reading passage and the lecture are both about an issue connected with the decline of reading among the young people. The author of the snippet believies that people read less intellectual literature. On the other hand, the lecturer considers that the statements made in the passage are slitely wrong, and she reinfoces her opinion by providing several examples.
First of all, there is identified in the reading fragment that by reading less literature publi miss a lot of benefits of it. However, The lecturer asserts that there are planty of other sourses with the good quality content. Consequently, due to that, people still can get a lot of captivating and intellectual information by reading scientific articles, history books, political newspapers which aren’t a literature at all, but they also can stimulate the humankind’s minds.
The subsequent speaker argument is related to the statement made in the except, that people choose to read intellectually undemanding books instead of the classic ones. She disputes this by claiming that sometimes it is not right to blame readers, when it is authors fault. She supposes that today a lot of authors making such type of books which is hard to understand, and people prefer to read more simple literature instead.
Finally, there is denoted in the reading passage that people tend to watch more TV, listent o music instead of reading. The speaker concurs that people become to read less, but she claims that movies and music nowadays are also a representation of culture and have their own intellectual meaning.
