TPO - writing integrated taskSummarise the points made in the lecture. Be sure to explain how they cast doubt on the specific points made in the reading passage - reduction in literature reading
The reading passage and the lecture are both about the decline in the reading of literature. The lecturer completely refutes the arguments in the article. She argues that these explanations are faulty.
Firstly, the lecture states that other types of subjects such as political or history books are high quality readings. Moreover, they stimulate creativeness in readers.

The reading passage on the other hand, claims that publishers are leaded to invest and support less the writers because the lack in audience for literature.
