▶ Your Answer : Some people might say that universities can
increase the quality of education by paying higher salaries to professors.
However, I think that the quality of education is not improved due to higher
salaries to professors. There are two reasons. First, the quality of
education does not have to do with salaries of professors. Second, there
are other factors that affect the quality of education. To begin with, higher
salaries of professors do not have impact on the quality of education. To
be specific, in addition to preparing lectures, many professors have a lot of
their own tasks like cooperating with other groups, participating in seminar,
taking care of their students and so on. Therefore, (1)it is hard for them to focus
solely on preparing their lectures though their salaries can be
increased. For example, there was a survey conducted by Korea University
with 200 professors as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand
their thoughts about impediments for preparing their lectures. The majority of
respondents replied that time deficiency prevent them from preparing their
lectures. This survey proves that most professors are hard to prepare their lectures not because of their low salaries but because of (2)lack of time resulted from many works.
On top of that, salary of professor (3)is
just one of the factors which can affect the quality of education in
university. To be specific, (4)they include the environment
of lecture rooms, infra of the university, school library and so
on, which would be more important than professors when it comes to the quality
of education. For example, there is an admirable professor whose lecture is
always good in my university and I was taken his lecture last semester.
However, the lecture room where he took a lecture was not good because the
audio was easily malfunctioned and (5)electrical board sometimes cannot show
letters written by the professor. It prevented students from focusing on lecture,
which led to decrease the quality of education.
To sum up, the correlation between salaries of professors and the
quality of education is less than we think. Also, the quality of education is
not entirely dependent on professors. In this regard, I firmly believe
that though salaries of professors are increased, it is less
likely for the quality of lecture to be improved.

제가 생각하기에 어색하거나 문법적으로 맞는지 의심이 되는 표현들을 밑줄 표시해봤습니다. 그리고 제가 원하는 뜻은 다음과 같습니다.
1. 비록 그들의 월급이 증가될 수 있다고 해도 그들(교수들)이 오직 강의를 준비하는데 집중하는 것은 어렵다.
2. 그들의 적은 시간; 이 설문조사는 증명한다./ 많은 교수들이 그들의 강의를 준비하는 것이 어렵다고 / 그들의 낮은 임금 때문이 아니라 일이 너무 많아서 시간이 없기 때문에
3. 단지 요인들 중의 하나이다; 교수들의 임금은 대학교에서 교육의 질에 영향을 주는 요인들 중 하나에 불과하다.
4. they = factors
5. 전자 칠판은 가끔 교수님이 쓴 글자를 보여주지 못한다.
