Introduction
The author and the lecturer both discuss “topic”, which is concerned with (collocation). The author of the reading passage presents three possible explanations for this phenomenon. However, the lecturer casts doubt on these claims. She argues that none of the theories are supported by strong evidence.
Body 1
First of all, the author claims that one reason is (topic) because of (two-word collocation + two-word collocation). He notes that (collocation + collocation). This point is challenged by the lecturer. She states that the explanation is weak because of (large collocation + large collocation). Moreover, she points out that this reason is unreliable since (collocation + collocation).
Body 2
Secondly, the author argues that another reason is (collocation + collocation). He maintains that (collocation + collocation). This argument is rebutted by the lecturer. She suggests that the claim is flawed because (sentence + collocation + collocation). Furthermore, she mentions that (point) is inaccurate since (collocation + collocation).
Body 3
Finally, the author mentions that (sentence with collocation). He believes that this is true because of (point + collocation + collocation). The lecturer, on the other hand, feels that this argument is unconvincing due to (collocation + collocation). She puts forth the idea that the real explanation is (collocation + collocation).
Conclusion (optional, short)
