▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage introduce why the professor should appear on TV.
This is because the professor can get reputation and share their ideas with
others. In addition, universities which have TV professors can improve their
positive image and viewer can have a chance to get profound knowledge. However,
the lecturer does not like the reading passage’s claim and contradicts all
points in the reading passage directly by using following demonstrations.
First, the TV
professor would not get the reputation as the reading passage claims. If the TV
professors attract people who are interested in entertain not academic areas,
the TV professors would not be invited conferences which deal with serious academic
issues. Also, they even cannot get money to research as well. It casts doubt on
the reading passage claim that TV professor can increase their reputation
through appearing on TV.
Second, appearing
on TV would take a lot of time. In order to appear on TV, the professors
prepare what they present and make up their face for good looking. So, the
professors are unlikely to have enough time to do their original work, such as teaching
students and joining university meetings. It refutes the reading passage’s
claim that public, including universities and students, can receive the
benefits when their professors are on TV.
Third, viewers do
not want to watch program that deals with serious problems. So, the professors
have no choice, but give basic information; background and overview associated
with current issues. It does not differ from information which gets from TV
reporter. It contradicts that viewer can accumulate in-depth knowledge through
the TV professor.
