TOPIC: ISSUE50 - "In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."

In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, should every faculty spend time working outside the academic world in professions which are relevant to their course? No. Faculty in fundamental fields should spend little time working outside while teachers in applied fields should spend reasonable time working outside.

Nowadays, subjects in college and university are divided diversely, and some subjects are fundamental while others are applied, wherefore the instruction at college and university should varied from simple to diverse in order to satisfy the students' requirement. In fundamental fields, such as mathematics, physics, history, philosophy and so on, it is unscientific to require all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach. These subjects cultivate students to critical thinking and scientific analysis, erect healthy life outlook, which professional experience could not actuate. In addition, fundamental fields, which often served to applied fields, effect society indirectly, wherefore it is difficult for faculty in fundamental fields to find a suitable job outside the academic world in professions which are relevant to their course. In short, faculty in fundamental fields spend time working outside is unnecessary and unrealistic.

In applied fields, such as computer science, law, commercial science, mechanical engineering and so forth, professional experience could improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level. On one hand, with the rapid development of society, the knowledge in applied subjects is required to renovate frequently. Therefore, faculty in these fields should spend time working outside the academic world in professions so that they could bring the newest information and knowledge to their courses, and these new knowledge would improve the quality of instruction at college and university level. On the other hand, discussing social problems in classroom could inspire students' interest, enhance their activity, let them learn how to analyze and solve these issues, which could improve the instruction at the college and university level. For instance, in commercial college of Harvard University, teachers often bring the newest knowledge and problems to classroom, which fully mobilize the activity and creativity of students, and the teaching method not only enlarge the ken of students' knowledge but also let students to analyze these problems, and it is one of reasons why the graduates in Harvard University are so welcomed to society. Hence, all faculty in applied fields should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach.

However, undue emphasizing on professional experience in applied fields would be also harmful to the quality of instruction at the college and university level. If teachers spend much time on professional experience, they would lose interest in scientific research by tempting from environmental profit. Therefore, they have no time and energy to prepare instruction and to make research, and their academic production would be limited, which would influence the quality of instruction. For example, many professors of applied field in China spend much time on professional experience, and they make little research, or even plagiarize paper in order to deal with the requirement of research. As a result, many graduates could not be instructed by their mentors because they are difficult to meet professors, and the quality of instruction also decreased as a whole. Consequently, in order to improve the quality of instruction at college and university, all faculty in applied fields should be limited in professional experience.

All in all, in different fields, teachers should take various methods in instruction. In applied fields, faculty should take certain energy in professional experience, while teachers in fundamental fields should not be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions.

我考试选的是ISSUE50，考场上写的没这个好，刚开始一紧张脑袋卡壳，开头有几处没想起词~~！
这篇文章写出来的时候，我自己并不满意，翻开前人的习作，也没看到特别有亮点的文章
思路很普通很大众化：
1.对于基础学科，不应该强调专业经验，理由云云。。。。
2.对于应用学科，需要加强专业经验，理由云云。。。。
3.然而，对于应用学科，也不能过分强调专业经验，理由云云。。。。
素材找的也不大理想，实在没找到合适的素材，最后用哈佛和中国的例子勉强凑合一下。

PS：最近看了几篇文章，发现有一个很不好的现象，很多人不去查找资料就开始随便写，什么样的结论都敢写。我建议各位在写文章之前，先去查找资料，比如WIKI、百度、GOOGLE，有条件的在图书馆查找相关论文，先给自己扫盲，科普一下。

TOPIC: ARGUMENT122 - The following appeared in the Pine City Gazette. "Fifteen years ago, Pine City launched an electricity-conservation program that reimbursed residents some of the cost for replacing energy-wasteful motors, home office equipment, and home appliances with energy-efficient ones. For ten years, spending on this program increased annually, and annual total energy consumption declined. But spending on the program began to decline five years ago, and since then Pine City's total electricity consumption has increased sharply. If this increased usage continues, the city will have to build a costly new power plant. Obviously the best way to avoid this expense is to increase reimbursement to residents for replacing energy-wasteful equipment. This will reduce energy usage to the levels of five years ago." WORDS: 534          TIME: 00:30:00          DATE: 2009-1-13 15:06:22 In this argument, the author concludes that the best way to avoid expense of new power plant is to increase reimbursement to residents for replacing energy--wasteful equipment. To support the conclusion, the author cites the fact that spending on electricity--conservation program increased annually while annual total energy consumption declined for ten years, and that spending on the program began to decline while total electricity consumption has increased sharply five years ago. Plausible it may seem, however, the conclusion flaws in several critical respects, rendering it unconvincing as it stands. First of all, the author's conclusion is based on the unfair assumption that total electricity consumption in Pine City's (P) result from wasteful apparatuses. However, no evidence has been offered to convince this assumption. It is entirely possible that many people moved in P due to low house price at that time while the population of P has stabilized due to high house price now, so that the annual total electricity consumption would not increase. Or it is entirely possible that P build some large constructions for five years, such as dams, new commercial centers, and railways, which consumed a large amount of electricity, but these constructions have finished now and it would not consume much electricity in future. Or it is entirely possible that P encountered bad climate these years, such as high temporary in summer or extreme cold in winter, which consumed a lot of electricity because of the using of air condition. Under this scenario, the author's conclusion would be seriously undermined. What's more, the argument depends on the hasty assumption that P’s electricity consumption would continue to increase. However, no credible evidence has been provided to bolster this assumption. It is absolutely possible that people would replace their wasteful motors, home office equipment, and home appliances with energy-efficient ones; thus, the electricity consumption would decrease due to the using of new apparatuses. Or it is absolutely possible that government would close many factories which consume lots of electricity, so that the electricity consumption will decline. Or citizens will save electricity due to the sense of economy and as a result, the electricity consumption would descend. Thus, the above scenario, if true, would undermine the author’s conclusion. Last but not least, the author’s argument rests on the unsubstantiated assumption that increasing reimbursement to residents for replacing energy-wasteful equipment will reduce energy usage. However, the author fails to provide evidence to support this assumption. Perhaps residents have replaced their equipment entirely; thus, the spending on the program began to decline five years ago. Or perhaps government will build many public services which will consume a lot of electricity so as to offset the reduction of electricity consumption from the replacement of equipment. Or perhaps many factories will establish due to favourable economic policies and consume more electricity, wherefore the energy usage will increase. Without considering these possibilities, it is high suspect to accept the author’s conclusion. To sum up, the author fails to justify the claim. To support it, the author should rule out all the other possibilities, as mentioned above, which might weaken his/her conclusion. Moreover, it is necessary for author to provide more concrete evidences to support the claim.

考场上的那片ARGUMENT是我没写过的，不过用的是同样的手法去写，只是批驳的错误不同而已。
不难发现，我的ARGUMENT完全套用的XDF模板，前后也没练几篇，也没看过几篇文章，就不乱议论了。

仁者见仁，智者见智，把原稿发上来，留给大家自己去感觉吧
