Some people think university professors should spend more time doing research while others
think they should spend more time educating students. What is your view?
Whether university professors should focus on the education of students or researches? It might be tempting to support professors pour more time on the researches since the fact that numerous technology that have brought progress of society are basis on researches. However, a far more compelling argument can be made that the education is a major factor that relates to the future of a nation. (开头不错)
(一般承接放句尾吧?)
Admittedly, it is an indisputable fact that the researches play a crucial role at the booming society ranging from culture to nature. On the one hand, for the human world, it is impossible to learn about history without studying on the remains of ancestors. Further, countless technology achievements such as the spaceships that allow our human take a leap from earth to have a better glance on space are brought by greatly researching on space and tools that available to take people to the university. On the other hand, for the world of nature, exploring the every element of habitat such as soil, air, water, and plants is the major assess to better attach the conditions of the surroundings, and as a result reveal a fascinating world to us. (知道你是为了突出科技的重要性,但是感觉这段叙述有点散,可以再结尾加一个总结。Such as: all of this achievement bound to relevant to the process of research)
Nevertheless, it is an undeniable fact that education is one of the most significant(significant 的使用感觉怪怪的 ,我觉得可以改用crucial) foundations of a country’s development. So important education is that governments offer billions of dollars as financial incentives to support education yearly. Clearly, professors’ poor attention pay on teaching is responsible to the sub-standard academic achievement of students that might constitute(lead 可能会好些) a potential risk in our future. Since knowledge is the fundament of research and the research is the way for people to discover and create which lead to the development of the world as well as the education is the way to popularize the knowledge, it is inevitable that professors have to put teaching on the first place over research.
Moreover, neither research nor teaching can be given up by professors. Thus, it is vital to find a balance between them. Nowadays, there are quite a few brilliant young people sitting is in the classroom who might be the next Isaac Newton and they can not only learn things quickly but also are able to propose some amazing idea that may helpful in professors’ study field. So research and teaching for a professor are not completely conflict and may produce positive mutual effect.
By way of conclusion(感觉有点中式英语,), I believe that education is equally important as research; the real issue for professors is to find the balance of them and develop a effective way that can benefit both.
感觉观点太分散,不突出,还有it is引导的句型太多了点。遣词造句还蛮好
