The reading and the lecture is about the benefits and problems of online encyclopedia, which is in many facets like a traditional encyclopedia, but with difference that any Internet user can contributes to it. Further, the article is mainly about the problems of the online encyclopedia compared to the traditional one. However, the lecturer casts doubts about the claims made in the article. She thinks, that online encyclopedia is superior in every aspect.
First, the author points out that any internet user can write an article without a sufficient academic credential. It is mentioned that traditional encyclopedias were written by trained professionals in their field rather than by some partially informed internet user. This point is challenged by the lecturer. She illustrates, that traditional encyclopedias were nowhere close to perfection. Further, she argues even if a mistake occurs in an online encyclopedia, it is much easier to correct this mistake than in a traditional offline encyclopedia.
Secondly, the author contends that online encyclopedia can be easily vandalized by users or hackers. The article mentions that if a change is taken, it is very difficult for unsuspicious user to find out the mistake. Conversely, the lecturer rebuts this argument. She illustrates that crucial facts in important articles is transformed in a reader-online format by the online encyclopedia providers. Moreover, she mentions that there are special editors with the main task to monitor the changes.
Finally, the author states that the encyclopedia emphasizes only trivial and popular topics. Thus, the article claims that some topics are not highlighted enough and thus has been put in a false comparison. On the other hand, the lecturer praises the diversity of the articles in online encyclopedias. She also declares that the traditional encyclopedias only have limited space and therefore it is not capable to cover a wide range of topics.

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.
