Imagine that you are in a classroom or a meeting. The teacher or the meeting leader says something incorrect. In your opinion, which of the following is the best thing to do? 1. Interrupt and correct the mistake right away; 2. Wait until the class or meeting is over and the people are gone, and then talk to the teacher or meeting leader; 3. Say nothing.
Human makes mistakes. That includes all of us, even influential academics, respectful scientist and high-level officials. So, if you attended an academic meeting and found out the speaker made a mistake during the speech, what would you do? Would you interfere with the speech and correct the mistake right away? Personally, I find this approach is way too direct that might hurt both the lecturer and the meeting. I would rather wait until the meeting is over, then talk to the lecturer about the incorrectness.
First, correcting the speaker directly during the lecture will hurt his or her authority. Normally, no matter it is a professor who is teaching in class or is a lecturer speaking in a meeting, the person who is capable of speaking on stage is an expert in their own field. Which means they hold authorities to what they are talking about. And that authorities were built up by making correct conclusions. So if a young student just pointed out their mistakes in front of a group of people, then people would doubt that they don't know what they are talking about. Their theory could be wrong because of building upon wrong numbers or assumptions. Their authorities will get hurt, and the speakers will lose face.
Also, pointing out the mistake would interrupt the speech thereby distract the listeners. Normally, in a speech, the narrator will introduce the background about certain topic, why we should study it, what's the current status of the studying and what's its future. It's a jointed holistic process. The listener need to hear out the whole piece of the speech to fully understand the logic and importance of the issue. However, if everyone can just shout out some mistakes they found in the presentation, both the speaker and the listeners strings of thoughts would get interrupted. This type of behavior would damage the general effect of the meeting.
While talking with the lecturer after the meeting might result in other listeners were informed with uncorrected misleading messages, it's important to follow the social courtesy and support the integrity of the lecture. Plus, the lecturers can always email the attendants to correct their mistakes after the meeting or post the correction on their blogs. This way, the lecturers saved their faces by correcting mistakes autonomously in a timely manner; the listeners will be informed with correct information; and thus your behavior will be truly considerate and will be appreciated by others.

---------------------
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.
