12.30 作业,这个文章我超时了10分钟才完成的~~~~ Independent Writing: Some people think that a university professor should focus time on doing research; while others think that the main role of a professor is to educate students in university. Integrated Writing: TPO 1
Education has been a hot-bottom issue that causes a heat discussion. During the process of pursuing higher education, it is undeniable that professor plays a pivotal role on guiding students toward professional field. Now, here comes a thorny dilemma, should the faculties focus their attention on research? Or should professors emphasize on pure class teaching? Different people from myriad backgrounds will uphold diverse views. From my perspective, the former one overweighs the later one. Several points in different dimensions will be presented and explained to testify my argument.
To begin with, at the top of the list of my viewpoints is that outstanding academic achievements need hands-on experiments in the real working environment, because practical research can endow students these knowledge quickly. To make my standpoint more convincing, I would like to take my own experience as an example. In my first undergraduate study, I participated in a technological works competition. We needed to conduct corresponding research and made polls to investigate the potential problems. At that time, my friend and I cooperated to complete the tasks together. However, I found that although my friend was proficient in the pure academic principle and relevant knowledge, she couldn't apply the knowledge in textbooks into the real problems. Later, I knew that her teacher just imposed the abstract knowledge to them directly without further study. Thanks to my professors' education, I finished my assignment efficiently and kept high quality.
Moreover, another compelling point worth being mentioned is that extraordinary research can help professors obtain good reputation and motivate them to contribute to the related academic realm. Hence it will bring a bonus to the whole civilized communities. Generally speaking, some big award like Nobel can catch most scholars' eyes, if someone wins this reward, others will show their respect to them. You know, this kind of acknowledgement will stimulate the self-satisfaction in our inner world. Meanwhile, the excellent teacher who publishes a high-quality paper also will obtain a large number of funds. After the distinguished professor benefit from these, they will do much more studious efforts to study this field.
Last but not least, it is necessary for us to bridge the gap between the assertions before the opposite side has been taken into consideration. Admittedly, single-minded teaching in class can endow students the basic theories and physical principle directly. But the society has changed a lot, we need more practical experience to equip ourselves and keep up with the fast pace of the modern development. If we don’t go outside to do research and professor doesn’t stress this point correspondingly, it is a dire situation for all human beings to imagine.
Given all these carefully analysis I mentioned above, I firmly believe that teachers should spend more time on research rather than on education student in class. Although some people remain query about my illustration, the reasons and explanations I referred will serve the purpose to propel the opponents to notice the diverse dimensions and reconsider the parts they have ignored. Now, if you are a faculty in a university, which one will you choose between the research and alone teaching? Don't you think the research can bring more interest to both the professor and the whole academic field?
TPO 1, The listening and the reading uphold totally opposite opinions toward the mandatory policy, which is that companies offer their employees the option of working a four-day workweek for 80% of their normal pay. The professor illustrates that the new policy cannot benefit for both the individuals and the corporations. Then he raises three points in diverse dimensions to support his standpoints.
To begin with, the speaker contradicts the statement in the reading, which indicates that the shorten workweek will increase the company profits because workers can relax themselves from the new policy and they will make less mistakes in their work. However, the speaker demonstrates that the new policy will force the company spend more expense. Since organization will pay much money to train the employees and pay for their medical benefit. In fact, no matter whether the workers work for five days or four days, cooperation spends the same cost for health fees. In addition, organization also needs to enlarge its space and add more computers for increasing employees. Hence, it is possible to cut the interest rather than increase the profit.
Moreover, the lecturer casts light on the second reason, which suggests that offering this option to employees will reduce unemployment rate. He makes some points by saying that hiring new worker is costly. Furthermore, if people who work four days finish the same tasks as those who work five days, they will feel exhausted, causing damage to their quality of life. Meanwhile, if the work keeps constant, no additional jobs will be provided. On contrary, current job will be unpleasant.
Finally, the instructor disputes the author's viewpoint directly, which claims that employee's life will be improved due to more free time. He explains that there are some risks will decrease our quality of life. Actually, four days schedule will diminish worker's job ability for advanced career. Simultaneously, four-day workers will be the first group to loose their jobs when facing economy down turn, because companies prefer those who work for five days in the position of management to supervise the whole system.
In sum, the presenter carefully discerns the drawbacks of the reading passage and takes one more step to reveal that the fallacies need a close scrutiny. |
