TOEFL Official Guide - Practice Test 2 - Integrated Writing - Professors on TV
The article states that television appearances are beneficial for the professor who appear on television and provides three reasons o support. However the professor explains that it is not beneficial for the professor as it is thought and refutes each of the author’s reasons.
First, the reading claims that professors gain more audience on television than they have on campus. The speaker says that the professors who are on television shows lose their seriousness. He states that other scholars think that the professors are entertainer and so they do not invite importance meetings and conference. Actually, they lose their reputation.
Second, the article posits that television appearances also benefit for their universities. However, the speaker says that they spend a lot of their times for Television show. According to the speaker, they do not have enough time for research. And they have resposiblity against university and the spend time cause they do not give enough time to the university’s students.
Third, the reading says that at the same time public benefit the television shows which the professors talk. The speaker opposes this point by exploring that television channel do not need to serious speech. We also learn that the professors do not find on the television shows what they want to discuss in depth because the television show need to present fun or entertainment to people who watch the shows.
