TOEFL - WRITING TEST 7 In the set of the materials, the reading passage supports three main factors that influence the decline of literature readers. The lecture, on the other hand, casts doubt of the previous section. Firstly, the text defends the idea that there are less literature readers today than before. In addition, the reading believes that majority of younger people prefer to watch a movie, listen music or read self-help books instead of read a good novel. Due to this fact literature books has been lacking audience and intellectual appreciation from the public. For instance, it is told that epic novels have a greater amount of knowledge than other types of books. Moreover, because of these events a vast number of modern authors have been disappearing inasmuch as there aren’t enough investments and readers to support their cause. Despite the arguments provided previously, the lecture's professor challenges the points made on the article. Furthermore, the teacher explains that literature is not the only form of cultural encouragement. For instance, there is a great number of historical and tales books that also improves the cultural learning on a society. Also, the listening says that you can learn culture by listening to music or on theater. And, because of this fact it infers that the intellectual thinking is not likely to decline, but to improve over the next generations. Finally, the professor states that the less monetary support for literature has been due to the difficulty faced on understanding new the book written once the new authors write in a complex way rather than a simpler one. Thus, we can conclude that both passages show their points of view about the topic. In summary, the listening makes an in-depth analysis in the information given by the reading.
