SAMPLE ANSWER
The professor is talking about bacteria and the effects bacteris can have on humans.
According to the professor, bacteria are defined as microorganisms, which can be found all over the world.
The professor presents two kinds of bacteria, namely harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria.
First, the professor provides the example of the Black Death to illustrate that harmful bacteria can kill prople.
He also gives the example of food poisoning to show that harmful bacteria can make people sick.
Second, the professor provides the example of the helpful bacteria in our intestines to show that some beneficial bacteria can help us to digest food.
He also gives the examples of foods, medicines, and products to show that beneficial bacteria give us useful things.
Through this short lecture, I learned that there are harmful bacteria which hurt people and beneficial bacteria which help people.
