2017年托福独立写作模拟试题（2）

　　Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? To improve the quality of education, universities should increase professors' salaries.

　　Sample:

　　With the rapid development of society, more and more elites are required in the field of advanced science and technology. So how to improve the quality of higher education becomes an emergent problem for universities. However I don’t think increasing professors’ salaries is the only way to improve the quality of education. There are much that we can do, like improving the facilities and equipment, designing attracting courses or introducing famous professors.

　　As the enrollment increases in universities nowadays, there are so many students attending colleges, which will require more funding and resources. Universities should employ more faculties, purchase more facilities to cope with the increasing population in campus. Only in this way will students get equal chance to gain knowledge and live a colorful campus life. For instance, when I was a fresh student in my college, so many students want to study in library that I need get up early and rush the way to get a seat. Limited seats in the library hamper students' passion in learning. So I think to improve the quality of education, it is of great importance to make the facilities prefect.

　　What's more, universities should spend some money on holding academic conferences and introducing knowledgeable and prestigious professors into university. Thus students have more opportunities to communicate with professors who are famous in their fields. I think that will inspire students' creativity, intelligence and imagination, which are all needed in the college study. It will also provoke them to have more thoughts about their future career development.

　　Admittedly, universities should increase the salaries for professors. After all they are people who interact with students everyday. Their influence on students is beyond compare. A college teacher is fully responsible for the quality of education. What a student is capable to do depends on what knowledge and skills they gain from school and from professors. So professors should be encouraged to constantly improve their teachings.

　　All in all, if universities have enough money they should take various ways to improve the quality of education, especially what I mentioned above.
