Essay topics: 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 of literature itself.

While there has been a decline in book reading generally, the decline has been especially sharp for literature. This is unfortunate because nothing else provides the intellectual stimulation that literature does. Literature encourages us to exercise our imaginations, empathize with others, and expand our understanding of language. So by reading less literature, the reading public is missing out on important benefits.

Unfortunately, missing out on the benefits of literature is not the only problem. What are people reading instead? Consider the prevalence of self-help books on lists of best sellers. These are usually superficial poorly written, and intellectually undemanding. Additionally, instead of sitting down with a challenging novel, many persons are now more likely to turn on the television, watch a music video, or read a Web page. Clearly, diverting time previously spent in reading literature to trivial forms of entertainment has lowered the level of culture in general.

The trend of reading less literature is all the more regrettable because it is taking place during a period when good literature is being written. There are many talented writers today, but they lack an audience. This fact is bound to lead publishers to invest less in literature and so support fewer serious writers. Thus, the writing as well as the reading of literature is likely to decline because of the poor standards of today's readers.

The article and the lecture are both about reading and writing of literature The outher of reading feels that these days people are reading literature more less.The lectuurer challenges the claims made by the author. The lecturer thinks that accoding to new culture people are used the literature.

First of all, the author argues that literature is expand understanding of languge. The article is mentioned that reading less literature the reading public is missing that important benifits. This point is clhallenged by the lecturer. He claims that reading other varities bookssuch as histry, sciences also give ability to understanding language and good knowlege about the language. Furthermore,he says that ti stimulate the high quality of languag.

Secondly, the author suggests that many people move to watch television, listern to redio, watch vedio or spent time in web page. The article notes that these days entertainment become main in culture rather than prefer the literature. The lecturer is rebuts this argument. He suggests that new culture is watching television and go throught internet. He elaborates on this by mentioning that it help to improve literature knowlege in new way.

Finally, the author states that lack of tallented wrtiers in today. Moreover, he says writing as the reading of literature in poor standards in today. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that writers who write literature, they use dificult languge to understand the reader. He notes that most of the readers dificult to understand the words in literature.
