Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
To improve the quality of education, universities should spend more money on salaries for university professors.

Some people argue that the salaries foruniversity professors should be improved in order to enhance the quality ofeducation. As far as I'm concerned, I think that this is a good idea. With thesalaries of professors raised, they can pay more attention to their researchand students education. What's more, it can also help to universities toattract more people with solid academic foundation to pursue professor as theirlife careers.

For the one thing, there is no denying thatwith the development of society, the life expense is increasing more and morefaster. If professors' salaries are raised, they have no need to worry aboutthis problem, which can lead them to have more time and energy to do researchand educate young people. For instance, my uncle, who is a professor in theuniversity of my city, has a low salary. In order to afford the high expense ofhousing, he has to do some part-time jobs to earn extra money. Apparently, thisresults in fewer time and energy to his university work. However, on theopposite, if his salary can be improved, then he may have enough time to doresearch and teach student, which in turn will do good to the quality ofeducation.

For another thing, in many circumstances,people will consider the level of salary when it comes to choosing their career.With appealing salary, I believe that university can attract more extraordinarypeople to work as professor. To some extents, the quality and quantity ofprofessors are key elements to assess the level of a university's education.Just imagine that there are plenty of elite from various realms of subjects,like history, economics, mechanics and so on. Not only are they learned, butthey have innumerous good characteristics, like honesty, persistence,hard-working, which can set good examples for students to learn. So thatstudents can learn both academic information and excellent personalities fromthem, which will inevitably benefit the students a lot in their future life andcareer.

Last but not least, with enough money,professors can do lots of other meaningful things, like supporting poorstudents, donating books to library, and so on. Nowadays, there are still manystudents of remote areas cannot afford the high tuition and have to drop outfrom school. But so many students of them are really talent. If they can getthe support from professors, I believe that they will have a promising future. Alsowith more useful books to read, they can improve their understanding of thecutting-edge knowledge, which will do good to the quality of education as awhole.

In conclusion, with so many benefits discussedabove, I reinforce my viewpoint that it can make a big difference to improvethe quality of education if university professors’ salaries are raised.

2. Integrate Writing

The lecture is mainly discussing about the reason of edmontosaurs survived the wintertime. The reading passage gives the migration hypothesis that the edmontosaurs migrated south to survive the winter. However, the professor says that they could stay in the original place, North Slope, to survive, contradicting what are stated in the reading passage. In the lecture, the professor gives three specific points to support her opinion.

First, in contrast to the argument made in the reading passage that edmontosaurs had to migrate because there were no plants growing during North Slope winter, the professor asserts that there were plenty of dead plants. Because the favorable sunlight and weather, plants could be prosperous during North Slope summer. Then lot sof dead vegetations could be left for edmontosaurs to eat in winter.

Second, the professor contends that living in herds cannot prove anything, which apparently disagree with the point stated in the reading passage. She points out that living in herds can be for other reasons, like protecting from predators. For example, elks live in herds, but they do not migrate. Therefore edmontosaurs living in herds cannot demonstrate the migration hypothesis.

Finally, while the reading passage argues that edmontosaurs were physical enough to migrate long distance, the lecture holds a different viewpoint. The professor says that so long distances could lead edmontosaurs to die, especailly juvenile ones, before arriving their destination.

In conclusion, the contents in the reading passage are refuted by the lecture and the lecture maintains a totally different idea that the migration hypothesis is impossible.

With the more and more faster developing of our society, it seems that students have more pressure nowadays. Therefore, a great deal of people argue that students should be offered more courses in university in order to get prepared for their future careers. As far as I am concerned, I think this is a good idea since through this can students learn more knowledge, more practical skills, like critical thinking and independent thinking. These all definitely will benefit students a lot in their future life and career.

For the one thing, with more courses to choose, students can foster their own interests and enhance their individual talent. As we all know, different people have different interests. And interest, as someone has put, is the best teacher. If there are plenty of different course, students can just choose those that fit their interest and can learn better an more quickly. For example, I love computer since I find that the software and codes of it are really amazing. So, I definitely want to choose more courses related to computer, like programming. These courses obviously do lots of good to my understanding of computer.

For another thing, different courses can give students different perspectives, which will help to enhance the creativity and problem-solving ability.  We all know that subjects are not isolated from one another and to some extent, they can interact with each other.  The study of one subject can benefit one's understanding of another subject. Music and English are good examples. They are both concerned about sounds to some degree. The learning of the music's rhythms and other things can help students to understand the intonation of English, and then they can learn better and more quickly.

Last but not least, taking more courses also help students to build some practical skills, which  can play an important rule in their future and life. For example, taking more classes means that students can have more opportunities to meed different students with different background. Then they can have pleasant conversation and discuss the questions of the course as well. During the whole process, not only can they digest the information offered in the class, but also they can develop some interpersonal skills, like how to cooperate with other people, how to express themselves clearly and precisely, etc, which will bring lots of benefit to them in their later life and career.

In sum, with all the benefits discussed above, I reinforce my viewpoint that universities should provide students with more courses in order to help them prepare for their future careers.
