Essay topics:

A recent study reveals that people, especially young people, are reading far
less literature—novels, plays, and poems—than they used to. This is troubling
because the trend has unfortunate effects for the reading public, for culture In
general, and for the future of literature itself.

Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast
doubt on speclflc points made in the reading passage.

The reading passage and the article discuss the decline of reading literature among young people and consequences of that. The writer states that such trend leads to disaster in such spheres of life, as culture, future of literature and readers themselves. The lecturer disagrees with this point of view and describes the reasons, why decrease of reading is not so critically.
First of all, the article mentions that the decline of reading novels, plays, and poems, decrease the development of intellect, which is serious problem for young people. However, the speaker argues that there is a large number of high quality political and historical literature, which is as creative, as novels, plays, and poems. So such books could provide the intellectual stimulation too.
Secondly, the passage presumes that young people do not read literature and switching to horrible written books, TV shows or serving on internet. The lecturer, on the other hand, contends that the level of culture can not drop if a person listen to incredible music or watch good movies. This way of entertainment could change a lot in people’s culture for the better.
And finally, the author of the article claims that, because of declining of the reading, talented writers can not get financial help of the publishers since less people want to read serious novels. Nonetheless, the speaker explains that it is fault of those authors. Nowadays he writers get less support because they make a literature that is really difficult to understand, so young readers do not have a desire to buy such books.
