The speaker asserts that all faculties should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach to improve the quality of instruction at post-secondary level. Despite that professional experience outside the campus is instructive to many discipline and hence helpful to the instruction quality, an close scrutiny suggests that it is not advisable to make it compulsory for faculty to participate in out-of-campus work, due to its overlook at the purely theoretical subjects and the sacrifice of freedom and hence attraction in the academic profession.

To begin with, I concede that experience outside the campus has significant promotion to a large number of fields. As a faculty works outside the campus, the practical issues come up with daily work. A faculty is then able to capture the difficulty, defect and merit of a subject when it is applied, and what attributes are desired in the job relate to the discipline. As objective and practical profile of a subject is cleaner to the instructor, the quality of instruction should be improved by proper concentration and means, such as adjusting means of assessment help raising analytical skills. For example, for a professor instructing high school education, his/her experience in high school teaching seems so substantial that without such experience, he/her is not qualified for this practical social science.

Nevertheless, it is not for all disciplines that the practical profession experience is necessary. For many basic and purely theoretical subjects, for instance introductory differential calculus and theoretical physics, on one hand, there is not direct helpful effect of practical experience that a faculty can gain without forgoing his job primacy in instruction. And on the other hand, the positions available for a profession outside the campus may be so limited that it is impossible for the majority of all faculties to spend time working one it. To illustrate, for the nuclear physics with explosive concentration, due to its military natural and danger associated with, limited government resource is input during the peaceful time, and therefore opportunities far less than demanded by faculties in the profession are available.

Moreover, the policy that all faculty are required to work outside the campus serious harms the liberty of the academic profession and hence its attraction. Rather than the monetary welfare which usually much higher is provided by industries , essentially, it is the liberty allowed in a academic position that attracts the most intelligent and talented people to work in a college and university, pursuing originality. The direct effect of such policy is that many highly talented and innovative people are reluctant to work in the academic profession at the currently given wage level. Either many of them shift out from the campus or educational institutes have to dramatically increase their benefits provided. In either case, the quality of instruction decline likely.

In sum, on the ground that the asserted policy overlooked the diversity in the natural of subjects in the college and university level, and the crucial implication to the whole faculty cohort, I believe no constraint should be applied to faculty in working outside the academic world.

The speaker asserts that all faculties should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach to improve the quality of instruction at post-secondary level. Despite that professional experience outside the campus is instructive to many discipline and hence helpful to the instruction quality (感觉不是很连贯，可以改成 hence helpful to improve the instruction quality) , an close scrutiny suggests that it is not advisable to make it compulsory for faculty to participate in out-of-campus work, due to its overlook at the purely theoretical subjects and the sacrifice of freedom and hence attraction in the academic profession.

开头有点太长了，应该平铺直叙，简单的概括出自己的主要观点。

To begin with, I concede that experience outside the campus has significant promotion to a large number of fields. As a faculty (集合名词) works outside the campus, the practical issues come up with daily work. A faculty is then able to capture the difficulty, defect and merit of a subject when it is applied, and what attributes are desired in the job relate to the discipline. As objective and practical profile of a subject is cleaner to the instructor, the quality of instruction should be improved by proper concentration and means, such as adjusting means of assessment help raising analytical skills. For example, for a professor instructing high school education, his/her experience in high school teaching seems so substantial that without such experience, he/her is not qualified for this practical social science.

Nevertheless, it is not for all disciplines that the practical profession experience is necessary. For many basic and purely theoretical subjects, for instance introductory differential calculus and theoretical physics, on one hand, there is not direct helpful effect of practical experience that a faculty can gain without forgoing his job primacy in instruction. And on the other hand, the positions available for a profession outside the campus may be so limited that it is impossible for the majority of all faculties to spend time working on it. To illustrate, for the nuclear physics with explosive concentration, due to its military natural and danger associated with, limited government resource is input during the peaceful time, and therefore opportunities far less than demanded by faculties in the profession are available.

这段感觉写的有点散，逻辑上的过渡不很明显，不紧凑。

Moreover, the policy that all faculty are required to work outside the campus serious harms the liberty of the academic profession and hence its attraction. Rather than the monetary welfare which usually much higher is provided by industries , essentially, it is the liberty allowed in a academic position that attracts the most intelligent and talented people to work in a college and university, pursuing originality. The direct effect of such policy is that many highly talented and innovative people are reluctant to work in the academic profession at the currently given wage level. Either many of them shift out from the campus or educational institutes have to dramatically increase their benefits provided. In either case, the quality of instruction decline likely.

In sum, on the ground that the asserted policy overlooked the diversity in the natural of subjects in the college and university level, and the crucial implication to the whole faculty cohort, I believe no constraint should be applied to faculty in working outside the academic world.    结尾说的有点绝对，概括的时候可以与上面论述的顺序相同，显得更有层次感。
