前言》
如果不谙中文的老外写托福写雅思，其作品当然不会有ChinEnglish的痕迹，但并不表示中教写范文必定的结局是中式英文。其实中文和英文之间，虽然井水不犯河水，却有相通的管道--心里及时交替翻译。这是因为中文支持英文，反之亦然。(真的，猫头鹰每天在工作和生活上讲西班牙话，所以难免字里行间里冒出莫名其妙的拉丁味。)
有些人爱笑话中式英文，以为那是中式思维的后果，所以强调办不到的纯英文思维。此种断言可谓大错特错。写英文如果好像带有中文语气，与其说是中文挡路还不如说是英文不上路。谢振礼老师的观点：懂中文绝对是优势而不是障碍。只要闭起眼睛想想，必定也会同意这个常识。写英文时谁有本事忘记妈妈，才有能力不想起中文。写作思维的道理是听其自然，随机应变，也就是来中文用中文想英文，来英文用英文想英文，只要英文作文让老外也能看懂就行了。
就以写作弱项而言，中教辅导学生不时自贬声价，简直搞得学生缺乏信心。外教的唯一优势只有口语。其它两项--阅读+听力--全靠自修，因为学生自己就是老师。说到写作培训教师，无论中教或外教，忙碌或懒惰，大都爱教人怎样写出高漂亮的高分作文，通常自己却不喜欢弓身动笔示范，如此这般，不足以带动学生养成写作的习惯。考前学生考前自觉写作速度太慢，极不自然。难道不知道经常写作才会习惯，习惯成自然?共勉之。ielts360toefl@hotmail.com
》真题模糊回忆：
什么是大学教授的主要任务?到底是教导学生还是学术研究?
Some people think that the role of the university professors is to educate students, while others think that the university professors should focus on doing research. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
猫头鹰审题说：这个题目摆明是要考生写双边：教导学生+学术研究。风袭大脑，起承转合。主题：教学+研究同样都是大学教授的任务。(滑头的立场是教学和研究平衡(balanced views)，像脚踏两条船，或者像公说公有理婆说婆有理，公婆都有理。)
起--教导学生+学术研究。Teaching+Research.
承--教导学生。 Teaching>evidential support (reasons, examples, details).
转--学术研究。 Research>evidential support (reasons, examples, details).
合--教导学生+学生研究。Teaching+Research.
托福实验范文：
If the image of a university matters, professors should be role models in their relationships with students and with the disciplines to which they are dedicated. There is no doubt that the image of a university will be enhanced by good teaching as well as good teaching. In this light, the roles of teachers in higher education are to educate students and do research.
On the one hand, teaching is central to the role of all academic staff. If nothing else, they are paid to educate students by giving scheduled lessons and sponsoring academic activities, particularly in the classroom. As a senior lecturer, a professor should be expected to provide leadership in curriculum development, design of courses, and innovations in the delivery of teaching in the specific discipline and related disciplines. That is why a professor should carry a teaching load which reflects workload equity across all teaching staff. So important is the role of educating students that a professor should be involved in at least some of the large classes and teaching of both postgraduate students and undergraduates, including first-year. After all, by definition a professor is a senior university teacher whose first role it is to TEACH, isn't it?
On the other hand, professors are playing a crucial role as well in the research effort of the university. To begin with, they are expected to provide guidance and assistance to more junior staff in developing their capacity for teaching and research. Also, they are supposed to introduce research students and colleagues to useful networks inside and outside the campus. It is understandable that funding to various degrees is always required by professors to do academic research. For that matter, whereas some professors will secure grants which cover teams including junior staff, others will carry on research at lower cost and/or at a more individual level. More often than not, in many disciplines, provision of a research environment for honors and postgraduate students is dependent upon the role of the professor to attract external funds.
On the whole, university professors are evaluated by their teaching capabilities and research results. Those professors who are famous in their own rights will strengthen the university's image at both national and international levels. This means that any university in lack of that kind of 'well-earned' image is not likely to shine in the galaxy of higher education. (Essay created by Jeenn Lee Hsieh, ielts360toefl@hotmail.com )
