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.

The main idea presented in both the reading and the lecture is about the decline of reading literary works. Considering this, the author explains that nowadays people do not read as much literature as previous. The lecturer, on the contrary, categorically denies the reasons mentioned in the passage and refutes all of them.

First, both the lecture and the passage talk about the decline in reading books. According to the reading, although there has been a decline in reading books, the decline in reading literature is much more conspicuous and as a result people lose their intellectual and imagination abilities. However, the professor explains that intellectual ability and having a high imagination are not limited to literary works. There a lot of music masterpieces, historical, or even political materials that are much better than literature and can help people enhance and improve their imagination.

Second, both the passage and the talk are about the consequence of ruling out literature and its impact on culture. While the passage claims that the substitution of manuals and self-read books instead of literature books is not beneficiary, the lecturer refutes the idea citing that culture has been change. There are a number of prominent movies and music that are more intellectual and listening and watching these materials do not mean that culture is being endangered.

Eventually, both the reading and the lecture discuss the contemporary situation of literature books’ writers. The reading expresses that in today’s era, there has been an abundance of writers for literature; however, no one is intended to care. Nevertheless, the lecture explains that the quality of these works has been changed and it is really difficult for modern people to understand the content of literary works, which was not the case in the past.
