COMMUNAL ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIAS

Both the reading and the listening discuss whether online encyclopedias are less valuable than traditional or not. The former argues that they are less valuable for three main reasons. The latter contradicts each of these points, while acknowledging the importance of both.

First of all, the text challenges the credibility of the contributors of an online encyclopedia since they lack academic credentials. The information supplied by them is sometimes partially correct or factually inaccurate. The lecture argues that in the traditional encyclopedia errors cannot be corrected once it is printed. Errors, if any, stay in the edition for decades until a new version is released. But this is not the case with online encyclopedias, where any and every error can be corrected multiple times until it is accurate and factually correct.

Secondly, the author claims that since the online encyclopedias are available to everyone on the internet, hackers and malicious users can very easily corrupt, delete and fabricate crucial information about any topic, making it inconsistent. The speaker asserts that the online encyclopedias have crucial facts and information presented in a read-only fashion, which can only be accessed to edit by a qualified academician. Moreover, there are designated editors who monitor each of the edits recommended by the users. They filter out the malicious and false edits, and approve only the correct ones.

Finally, the passage asserts that the online encyclopedias focus too much on trivial and popular topics, giving a false impression to a user about what is important and what is not. Traditional encyclopedias focus on only the essential topics which are of academic importance. The lecturer rebuts that the traditional encyclopedias have a limited space and cannot include all the topics. A group of academicians who make decisions on which topic is important do not represent the whole readership. However, there is no space crunch in an online encyclopedia, and it includes academic as well as popular topics, representing the diversity in the reading interests of the users.

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