Joseph's integrated writing practice 01

In the listening passage, the speaker at first restates the basic introduction of the two group behaviors. And then give each of the behavior two examples to explain deindividualization and polarization further.

The speakers says that deindividualization is not always antisocial, although
individual in a group loses their individuality and self-awareness. The first example is that when emotional events that are shared by a group, they will tend to interact within the group, rather than feel it individually. The second example is that when a group of people enjoy in an excited contest or sport, they tend to hold the same feeling and emotion together, not reacted independently.

In regard to the polarization, the speaker also gives two examples to add more details on what has presented in the reading passage. For example, if a group of people in a town are being bulleted, they will band together to fight against the one who threatens them. Or, if a group of employees are deprived of their rights or payments, the employees will band together and far more extreme to protest the boss who governs them.

Great! Joseph, you deliver the speaker's ideas clearly by sequence.
First, you introduce what the speaker wants to express and then give the examples in the following paragraphs.
However, I still think you should add some information from the reading passage because this is the integrated writing.
Even though you have to focus on what the speaker says, you still have to mention what the reading passage expresses, that way, the readers can know you do read the reading passage and you know the connection between the reading and listening passage.
I think maybe first you can find out what's the difference between the two materials(introduction?) and then use the examples from the speaker to explain that, just like you do in paragraph two and three.
By the way, thanks for your comments, I do waste too much time to compare the ideas between the two, and I think I have to focus on the speaker's opinions more.

thanks! actually, I missed the most important part of that listening. aftering your practice, I found that the main point of the question is the pro-social behavior. so I should explain that at first then to use the different view to compare the anti and pro.
