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
The passage explains the possible reasons and consequences of the fact that public interest in literature has dropped down as time goes by. However, the lecturer disagrees and attacks the main points addressed in the article.
First and foremost, the writer claims that people lose the intellectual stimulation provided by literature. However, the lecturer refutes this argument by stating that it does not have to be literature that stimulates the imagination. There are ways such as history or science books that are also as creative as novels and stimulate one's imagination as well.
Secondly, the article posits that the decline negatively impacts the public's level of culture because people tend to spend time with entertainment rather than reading literature. However, the lecturer rebuts this argument by stating that there are plenty of cultural activities, including listening to music or watching television. Furthermore, culture has changed; therefore, it is meaningless to claim that following new trends that cater to contemporary society lowers the cultural level. That's why these should not be considered a waste of time.
Last, the article claims that despite the existing talented writers, writing literature has also declined because the publishers opt to support fewer literature writers due to readers' preferences. The lecturer disagrees with that claim and points out that writers are guilty, too, as they are using language in such a way that it is tough to understand their tongue.
