GRE作文ARGUMENT

GRE作文ARGUMENTGRE作文ARGUMENT范文Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.1.The following appeared in a letter to the editor of a Batavia newspaper.The department of agriculture in Batavia reports that the number of dairy farms throughout the country is now 25 percent greater than it was 10 years ago. During this same time period, however, the price of milk at the local Excello Food Market has increased from $1.50 to over $3.00 per gallon. To prevent farmers from continuing to receive excessive profits on an apparently increased supply of milk, the Batavia government should begin to regulate retail milk prices. Such regulation is necessary to ensure both lower prices and an adequate supply of milk for consumers.2.The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg.Two years ago, our consultants predicted that West Eggs landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents strong commitment to recycling, the available space in our landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted.。

GRE的argument写作万能模板

GRE的argument写作万能模板为了帮助大家备考gre。

了解更多关于gre的知识,打有准备的仗,下面小编给大家带来GRE 的argument写作万能模板,希望大家喜欢。

GRE 的argument写作万能模板一. 背景介绍-----万能123的诞生它的优势在于:让你用最快的时间找出攻击点,不仅解决攻击语言还解决攻击顺序,还能节省你考试时列提纲的时间我刚开始复习时也是很苦恼,但是当我对着北美范文写了十几篇并日日思索之后,发现了一个万能找茬法。

它的精髓就在于教你写一套属于自己的万能123模板,这个模板不仅解决你语言,攻击顺序,更你提高你的效率,即给你一个找茬的火眼金睛,又给你一个呼之欲出的思路。

我考前一天把我自己的模板背了又背了一遍,考的那篇文章我虽没写过,但是我在issue和argument 中场休息的1分钟之内把我的万能123找茬写在草稿纸上,题目出来后仅仅花了1分钟在万能123找茬勾出题目中题目中的错误点,这样连提纲都省了,还非常有条理。

我考之前把这个提纲发给我一同学让她好好背。

现在拿出来和大家分享,还准备发一份给那个作文老师,以提高他的教学质量。

二. 精华部分---万能123找茬1. 从整体来说:开头结尾不是最重点,中间部分才是重中之重2. 就中间部分来说:具体的语言不是最重点,攻击思路才是重中之重结论就是,攻击思路是重中之重,所以万能123找茬才是重中之重,比万能123模板(语言文字)及开头结尾给重要。

三.精华部分的注释这里是注释:(对照序号看)① 一因为此调查或研究没有提到样本sample,所以可以攻击其样本可能不具代表性,例如1。

样本太小不具代表性2。

样本特殊不具代表性二有了样本仍然可攻击样本没有代表性,例如1。

样本太小不具代表性2。

样本的倾向性问题,即某类人群比其他多数人更愿意参加调查或研究三没有论据的声称其实是很万能的,多用于攻击一些不是调查也不是研究的论据(具体可参照我的例文)② 一这个嘛虽然被某些新东方老师分为3大类,其实本质还是一样的,就是一个群体的特征推到另一个群体身上。

The assumption is based on the mere fact that the two events occurred during the same period.However,we all know that merely a coincidence of two events could not sufficiently demonstrate a causal relationship between them. The author overlooks other factors that might have contributed to ……..Perhaps,……..Pehaps,……..Since the author has failed to consider and rule out these possibilities,the assertion that …cannot be taken seriously.③前后发生不为因果The author unfairly assumes that it is ….that resulted in ……..The assumption is based on the mere fact that ….occurred after…. The author overlooks other factors that might have contributed to ……..Perhaps,……..Pehaps,……..Since the author has failed to consider and rule out these possibilities,the assertion that …cannot be taken seriously.3 错误类比①认为适合A也适合BIn the argument the author recommends A to carry out same (policies,actions,solutions)on…as B,but the analogy between them might be unsubstantiated.The author fails to illustrate that A and B are similar enough at every aspect and are indeed comparable.While it is true that A and B share some common ground on ……,there are still some obvious differences between them.Many differences may exist between A and B,thus there may be thepossibility that the (policies,actions,solutions)proved to be effective for A might not have the same effectiveness for B.In short ,without accounting for possible differences between…and…,the director cannot convince me that this recommendation for…is sound.②错误对比AB,A不一定比B好The author hastily implies that A is superior to B in …….,but the comparison between A and B is incomplete.The author only compares……However,there may be other factors which woud bring about totally different result for the comparison.Without any further consideration about these factors,the author could not convince us that A is better than B in certain aspect merely based on an incomplete comparison.③过去不能推未来In the argument the author suggests that we can solve current problems or achieve current goals through methods which have successfully solved the same kind of problems in the past.There is a hidden assumption assumed by the author that all conditions and factors upon which the effectiveness of the method depend have remained unchanged during the past N years.However,many conditions and factors could have varied greatly.Thus,the method proved to be effective in the past might not have the same effectiveness in current days /in the future.Without taking into account all these constantly changing factors,the author could not convince us that the proposed solution could be used to solve current problems successfully.④没考虑其他变量The author unfairly assumes that it is ….that resulted in ….The causal relationship is convincing only if the author could demonstrate that all other factors that might affect ….remained unchanged during the same period.(The speaker must also assure me that the study was performed in a controlled environment where all factors possibly affecting ….remained unchanged. )The author overlooks other factors that might have contributed to ……..Perhaps,……..Pehaps,……..Since the author has failed to consider and rule out these possibilities,the assertion that …cannot be taken seriously.⑤偷换概念错误地用A来证明BIn illustrating the assumption that….the author commits a fallacy of hasty generalization:The author cites A to prove B,however,A is not a good indication of B.Obviously,there are basic differences between A and B,thus A could not be properly used to illustrate B.The auhtor ought to make careful and clear differentiation between A and B before we could evaluate it.4 解决办法①解决办法不够有力The author assumes that the proposed actions are both sufficient and necessary for achieving certain goal.However,to solve the problem successfully,many other fundamental requirements must be fulfilled.Furthermore ,many other available methods besides the author’s proposal could also be used to achieve the same purpose.Before the author make a careful and thorough comparison between the effectiveness of his own proposal and other possible methods,the author’s proposal shoud not be hastily carried out.②没有考虑解决方法所带来的坏处In claiming that … the author needs to do more comprehensive research on both positive and negative effects of the proposal.Although the proposal could be adopted to solve the problem to a certain degree,carrying out theproposal may actually bring about more harmful effects ignored by the author..Pherhaps,…Perhaps…..Before the author make a careful and thorough research on the effects of the proposal,the author’s proposal shoud not be hastily carried out.③二者选一,没有考虑其他解决办法The author simply assumes that the situation would be either A or B,while the two…are not necessarily mutually exclusive.Many other solutions could be more justifiable.For instance ,….Before ruling out all the possibilities above,the author could not convince us that there are only those two possible solutions/choices for us to accept.5开头In this argument,the speaker concludes that …To justify this conclusion the speaker cites a recent survey of …citizens/students suggesting that …The author also concludes that …..This argument depends on several unsubstantiated assumptions and is therefore unpersuasive as it stands.6结尾In conclusion, the argument unfairly assumes that ……To strenghten the argument ,the author must provide clear evidence that…….The author must also provide clear evidence that…In order to evaluate the argument,we should need more information about……I would also need to know……对样本调查的要求To better evaluate the realiability of the study upon which the author’s conclusion depends,I would need more information about the size and makeup of the study’s sample.7引证段落The major problem with this argument is that…Another point worth considering is that…Before I come to my conclusion,it is necessary to point out another flaw appeared in the argument.8 利润问题Even if the author’s proposal could be carried out effectively,we still coud not hastily assume that …will necessarily earn a substantial profit,as the author predicted.To evaluate the profitability of …we should consider the function of both revenue and expense.However,the author does not provide any single piece of information about the possible cost of carrying out the author’s proposal.If the cost of carrrying out the proposal exceeds projected revenue,it would be profitless.So,without more information about the costs,it is impossible to assess whether carrying out the author’s proposal will be profitable.。

gre高频argument及提纲范文

1. The following appeared as part of an article in a business magazine."A recent study rating 300 male and female Mentian advertising executives according to the average number of hours they sleep per night showed an association between the amount of sleep the executives need and the success of their firms. Of the advertising firms studied, those whose executives reported needing no more than 6 hours of sleep per night had higher profit margins and faster growth. These results suggest that if a business wants to prosper, it should hire only people who need less than 6 hours of sleep per night."Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.以下是14的范文,请大家读完后,将它改写为argument 118Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.注意尽管题目要求不同但是结构和内容基本一致只需要在措辞上进行调整The article argues that companies should hire people who need less sleep because these employees are more likely to succeed based on a survey of 300 advertising executives. A number of assumptions have been made about the generalisability of the survey result, the reliability of the reported need of sleep and other related issues. We need to examine the assumptions carefully in order to assess the argument.To begin with, the assumption that the survey results can be applied more broadly may not hold true. The subjects of the survey are all from a single industry, namely, advertising. Maybe it is important for people in this field to burn the midnight’s oil to prosper. But this rule may not apply to other industries, for example, insurance or manufacturing. In addition, the surveyonly asks the executives who may have to work extra hours to lead the companies. But for employees at lower level sleeping less may not be very helpful for achieving success.In addition, it is assumed that the executives actually need little sleep as reported in the survey. In other words, the assumption is that the subjectswere telling the truth about their lifestyles during the survey. It is possible that the survey respondents just want to impress others or show their attitudes towards sleep when answering the questions. Without further data to verify the reliability of the survey results, it is not reasonable to apply the finding in the hiring processes.Another assumption being made is that the need of less sleep is the main reason why the executives were successful. As we all know, correlation does not necessarily imply causation. A host of other factors unrelated to sleep may have caused the success of the executives. For example, they might happen to have a good team of people working efficiently towards their goals. Or they were lucky enough to meet some clients who were willing to pay higher fees which boosted the profit margins and the growth rates. Without looking intohow they achieved success, it is too hasty to attribute their accomplishments to their sleep patterns.Finally, it is also assumed that executives with less need for sleep can succeed in the long term. Maybe they manage to accomplish more than their peers with their abilities to sleep less. But we do not know how the relatively small amount of sleep would have any negative impact on their health and their performancein the long term. We also do not know how their lifestyles may affect the overall job satisfaction of themselves and their co-workers. If their abilities to sleepless would enable them to work overtime, maybe they would also force their colleagues to work overtime, which may not benefit the long-term success of a company.In conclusion, it is not reasonable to recommend hiring people who need less sleep based on this survey on a relatively small group of executives from a single industry. More information is needed before we can check the assumptions discussed above and make a more reasonable hiring policy.2.Woven baskets characterized by a particular distinctive pattern have previouslybeen found only in the immediate vicinity of the prehistoric village of Palea andtherefore were believed to have been made only by the Palean people. Recently,however, archaeologists discovered such a "Palean" basket in Lithos, an ancientvillage across the Brim River from Palea. The Brim River is very deep and broad,and so the ancient Paleans could have crossed it only by boat, and no Paleanboats have been found. Thus it follows that the so-called Palean baskets werenot uniquely Palean.Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.Outlinefocus on whether the river could be crossed by people without any help: not sodeep and broad; frozen in winterdiscuss the possible bridges and boats which might not survive the timeexplore the possibility of the baskets being carried by waterAccording to this argument, the Palean baskets may have been made by peoplefrom areas other than Palea as the baskets have been found in the adjacentvillage. We need more evidence about geographical information of the area, thetechnologies of building boats and bridges and the characteristics of the basketsin order to evaluate the argument.While the author assumes that the baskets could only have been carried by boats which had not been found, there are other possible scenarios. For example, maybe the river at the time was not as deep and broad as it is now. Ifthe river was shallow and narrow, people in Palea and Lithos could be tradingbaskets by walking across the river. On the other hand, maybe the weather was extremely cold at the time and the river was frozen during the winter. Again the people from the two villages could simply walk across the river to trade. So weneed more information about the geography and climate in the area at the timeto assess how likely the scenarios discussed above were.We also need to know more about the technologies of Palean and Lithoian people at the time for building boats and bridges. Specifically, we want to knowwhether they were able to build boats and bridges and if they could what materials they used. Maybe they could build boats or bridges to cross the riverbut the materials they used could not survive the time and left no traces forarchaeologists to locate. The absence of any tangible traces of boats or bridgesdoes not necessarily imply no boats or bridges were available then. More information regarding these issues is needed.Another importance piece of evidence we need is the materials being used tomake the baskets. Specifically, we want to know whether the baskets couldfloat in the water. It is possible that some of the baskets had been dumped byPalean people to the river and carried by the water to the other side of the riverand then picked up by Lithoian people. To assess how likely this scenario is, weneed to know the density of the materials of the baskets along with some otherphysical characteristics.In conclusion, it is difficult to decide whether people from Lithos may have learned to make the baskets. More information about different issues discussedabove has to be gathered to assess the strength of the argument.25分钟conclusion; Palean baskets were not uniquely Palean; other villages can produce similar basketskey question: are the newly found baskets locally produced or transported fromPaleanwhether the river was that deep and broad at the timeboats from other villages? what materials were available for making boats; canthey survivepossible bridge?trading relationship?3. Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed toevaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.Arctic deer live on islands in Canada's arctic regions.They search for food by moving over ice from island to island during the courseof the year.Their habitat is limited to areas warm enough to sustain the plants on whichthey feed and cold enough, at least some of the year, for the ice to cover the sea separating the islands, allowing the deer to travel over it.Unfortunately, according to reports from local hunters, the deer populations aredeclining.Since these reports coincide with recent global warming trends that have caused the sea ice to melt, we can conclude that the purported decline in deerpopulations is the result of the deer's being unable to follow their age-old migration patterns across the frozen sea.P1: more evidence about the ac curacy of the hunters’ reports- whether the hunters had scared away the deer with their guns- whether the hunters had visited the area in a particular point in time when thedeer were less active- how many hunters had reported the deer population; the number was small-less reliableP2: more evidence about the sea ice in arctic region- whether the sea ice in arctic region had melted (global warming trend does notmean local warming)- whether more food was available near the habitat due to the climate change(then no need to travel)P3: evidence that may provide other explanations for the decline of deer population- any pollution that may threaten the deer population- overhunting4. The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times."Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem. Although just three years agoa state traffic survey showed that the typical driving commuter took 20 minutesto get to work, the commute now takes closer to 40 minutes, according to thesurvey just completed. Members of the town council already have suggestedmore road building to address the problem, but as well as being expensive, thenew construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods. Itwould be better to follow the example of the nearby city of Garville. Last yearGarville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work,giving them coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Garville have dropped sincethe policy was implemented, and people from Garville tell me that commutingtimes have fallen considerably. There is no reason why a policy like Garville'sshouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh."Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed toevaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken orstrengthen the argument.全文示范部分同学写这篇的时候问题较多。

Perhaps , only a few old peole whoparticipated the survey and not all of them gave their answers.For this matter,it is entirely possible that the truth of the fact is completely the contrary:the outcry comes from only a few people ,while others, which are of the greatest proportion of the whole customers , were nonchalance towards what the company did. ......as a result ,the Endure manufacturing process is actually a guarantee of profits rather than a waste of money.In the argument , the author only says that commuters are complaining about the increase in the rash-hour traffic on Blue Highway. But , what actually all the commuters think? Since the author provides no relevant information to show how many people actually complained ,nor does the author offer any evidence to prove that the people he refers were represantative of the whole (patrons)Maybe there is merely a few people complained ,and most of the commuters are saitisfied with the traffic on the highway.For this matter,it is entirely possible that the truth of the fact is completely the contrary:......Thus , an additional lane will be unnecessary.2 类比As we know that only comparison between objects which are essencially the same in other primary aspects can it have the chace making sense . In the argument , unfortunatly,the author dosen't give any information about the Alpha University(AU) can show that the teaching level and the abilities of students are almost the same as the OU so that students should have been the same competent when find jobs. And the argument also lacks the most siginificant information that whether the AU also adopts the students' evaluation of the teaching effectiveness of all their professors. If there is evidence tells that students in AU are the most exellante in the county even in the whole nation , although students in OU have not been as successful as them , these student may still be very successful. And if the students in AU also evaluate their teachers, the comparison will be more meaningless.takes the latter highway for example to prove that3 部分代整体(1与5)Thirdly,whether is it reasonable to apply the result of the survey which is in the northeastern United States cities to infer the market condition of the whole nation? Forasmuch as what experience tells us that the preferences of people vary widely from one place to another, there is a possibility that even the result is accurate which is from a reliable survey in the northeastern United States cities,the fact in other places may be the contrary:As the result of the fact that whether this method to estimate the general market condition is acceptable is unclear,the conclusion is dubious.4 盈亏问题It is know to all that profitbality is function of both revenue and expense. We are not provided any information that can show the price of the fabric supplies and other facilities needed for the production . Nor dose we offerred evidence which shows the scope and the degree of the rise of the clothing prices. Perhaps even other kind of clothes increase in prices, the alpaca overcoat particularlly on the contrary decrease. Even it may be true that the price of the overcoat will increase ,but if the total costs increase much more significant than the revenue the overcoat brings, this kind of overcoat will unlikely to be profitable,no matter how huge the revenue will be. Thus , the assumption is not rational , and it weakens the argument.High price keeps patrons away while lower one makes the revenue even less than expense,no matter how huge the revenue will be.5 以去年的推测现在或以后的the argument is rooted in the assumption that people today are still in favor of the alpaca overcoat and are willing to buy new ones . As we all know that fashions and people's needs are always changing. It maybe true that the alpaca overcoat is popular among people five years ago, but it is not rational to use people's previous propensity to predict what people will prefer today. It is entirely possible that people today have been fed up with seeing this kind of overcoat and few of them are willing to purchase one .6 增加减少的基数不知道7 一些专家,一些领导他们的话可不可信Sencondly , there should be an assumption that what the experts say are rational to be applied to infer that the fatigue and sleep deprivation are significant factors which lead to the on-the-job accidents at QM. On one hand , whether is what the experts say convincing? If their theory do not match the truth , it will be useless to cite what they discover here. On the other hand , even if the experts tell the truth , there is no realible evidence the president provides can indicate that the workers are now all faced with the problems ,fatigue and sleep deprivation, the theory may also be of no use here.T hus , if the president combine a convicing theory with an reliabe survey among works of their physical condition to lend a support to the assumption , the argument may be more persuative8 有没有其他的选择?就只能选这个公司?9 有没有副作用?或者好处?(肯定理由,但是质疑结论)10 一种措施等的改变考虑结果的时候时间是否够,有没有别的原因、Secondly, the answer to the question that does the changes of the Apex Theater prove to be worthy that it has brought big profits should be solved. It is true that the AT has done something special , but no evidence shows that he benefits greatly due to what he did.Maybe when residents choose a theater , they seldom take the carpeting , seats and even the videoarcade into considertation but the other factors such as the security of the theaters. Even if the new equipments really can attract more people to come , but as the profitability is a function of both revenue and expense, it is entirely possible that the increased revenue, no matter how huge it is , is still much less than the expense .As a consquence , the answer that can tell the result of the new equipments brought is necessary .11 新进了设备,工作人员怎么样有助于怎么样按照内容分:A 道路.If we are provided with the information that the Blue Highway is located in the contryside and has a smooth surface while the Green Highway is near to the center of the city and its pavement is rough, the same measures taken among these two highways will be more likely to result in different outcomes.As a consqeunce , before adopting the recommendation , the evidence which can more specificly describe the two highways is needed.B 电视节目C 公司的比较,员工,效率,收费等等D 教育问题E 我们公司的策略问题F对argument,第一段,the ....offers no....Nor does..第二段,however,the ....is more likely to be false. ........for one thing , for another ,,,,,,,in addition.......第三段,the facts may not match what the author think.

GRE-Argument-满分范文5篇

ArgumentSample 1In this argument the author employs a variety of evidence about Paleans, including their geographical isolation and the discovery of a basket, to argue that Palean baskets could have been made by non-Palean cultures. We may accept part of the author’s claim regarding the Paleans, but in the absence of some critical evidence, we cannot accept the conclusion that the Paleans have no means of transporting one of their baskets to other region.In the first place, the author assumes that the Paleans could not have reached Lithos because no Palean boat has been found. However, the author is treating a lack of proof that the Paleans could have possessed some kind of boat as sufficient proof that they did not possess any such vehicles at all. From the passage we are only informed that Palean boats “were not found〞, but the mere fact that no boat found currently could not fully illustrate that the Paleans did not have boats. We need concrete evidence to show that the Paleans did not master the skill of shipbuilding.Granted that the Paleans did possess no boats, we still need evidence to prove that the basket could not have arrived in Lithos by other means. Although the Brim River is deep and broad at present, it might be shallower and narrower at Palean time, or at least some sections of the river were less deep and broad at that time. If so, the Paleans could have crossed the river without boat. Some archaeological and geological records or documents about the condition of the Brim River at ancient time might be useful for evaluating the argument.Assuming that the river was also deep and broad in ancient time and can be crossed only by boat, there is a possibility that some vehicles were in the possession of a second culture with whom the Palean people kept in contact. The second culture might have brought the discovered basket to Lithos during trading or other activities. Also possibly, the basket may have been brought to Lithos by some other people latterly after the disappearance of the Paleans, or may have drifted to the site due to geological accidents such as a flood. The author should provide evidence to show that Paleans had no significant contact with other cultures who possessed boats, and that the basket could not be carried to the site through other methods such as trading or some accidents. We still cannot rule out the possibility that the baskets were unique to Palean culture without such information.In sum, the conclusion is hastily reached. Before the claim that other cultures could have produced so-called Palean baskets is accepted, the author should provide concrete evidence to show that Paleans were never capable of building boats. The author also needs to rule out other possible ways by which the basket could travel to other places.In the argument the arguer points out that Crust Copper Company (CCC) has purchased a vast of land in West Fredonia and that mining here will inevitably lead to tremendous pollution. To avoid such environmental problems, the arguer suggests that boycott towards products produced by CCC will be an effective measure. Well-intentioned the arguer may be, several unwarranted assumptions may render the boycott unnecessary or ineffective.First, the underlying assumption that the deterioration of environment and disturbance to endangered animals will inevitably occur is open to doubt. Ten thousand square miles are, without any doubt, so large an area that almost make up the total territory of New York City, there is likelihood that only a very small proportion of the land is used for mining. Furthermore, with the advanced technology of waste disposal and environmental-friendly recycling, the pollution, if any, can be so insignificant that almost has no negative effect to the environment. Even if the exploration is heavy, the arguer does not inform us to what extent the mining areas and the habitat of endangered species overlap. If they locate far away from each other, the mining would have little effect to local animals. Without taking these factors into consideration, the arguer could not successfully convince us that CCC’s mining process will bring about horrible results, and the boycott would be totally unnecessary in this case.Second, the feasibility of the arguer’s pro posal can also be cast doubt on. The proposal could be smoothly carried out only if the consumers can reliably distinguish products that are made with CCC’s copper. We all know that only the brand of the final producer will be engraved to a product. For instance, if a copper lock is manufactured, consumers can only identify the brand of the lock company. It is unlikely that a nonprofessional consumer can tell the material supplier of a certain product. Even assuming that consumers can effectively recognize copper products made with CCC’s copper, and that the vast majority of such consumers can be gathered by certain means, whether all of them are willing to cooperate in the boycott is still not guaranteed. It is highly possible that most consumers care more about the quality and cost of a product while little about environmental problems. If the consumers cannot distinguish products using CCC’s copper, or they have no interest in the boycott, the proposal would be meaningless at all, let alone prevent environmental problems.In conclusion, the argument is unpersuasive and the arguer should provide additional information to demonstrate that CCC will cause a disastrous effect on the environment of West Fredonia once its mining plan is carried out. The arguer also needs to prove that the proposed boycott is not only practically feasible, but also sufficient and necessary for the arguer’s purpose.In this argument the manager suggests that Rialto must offer same features as Apex, a newly opened theater, to attract moviegoers. The manager describes many fancy functions featured by Apex and the dissatisfaction of moviegoers about the high price of new movies. However, merely these facts could not prove that the proposed action will guarantee Rialto’s share of the market.A foremost question is: whether Apex was really a great success? We are not informed about the actual profit and the number of moviegoers of Apex. It is possible that the costs of these fashionable features are so high that the ticket prices of Apex are higher than other theaters, which will further prevent moviegoers on a tight budget from going to it, or that the ticket income of Apex remains low although it had featured those functions.Granted that Apex has gained great profits, we may still ask that whether the success resulted from those new features. Many other factors would also influence people’s choice on a theater. For example, people would be concerned more about the distance of the theater from their houses. Meanwhile, whether the lack of these features has caused a decreased share of moviegoers for Rialto is open to doubt. Perhaps the total number of residents in down town area was decreasing recently, and therefore Rialto could not attract as many people as before.Another question that should be addressed is the comparability of the two theaters. As we know, many factors would make them quite different from each other: their locations, the types of movie they mainly feature, the ticket price, etc. Any one of these factors would make the measures less effective in Rialto as in Apex. The manager cannot convince us that Rialto could gain profits by simply copying the features of Apex.Furthermore, we may question the reliability of the survey. We could not be sure if the respondents of the survey are representative of the overall population of the city and constitute a large number of people. Besides, granted that the respondents’ opinion could represent that of our general residents, Rialto could take other actions as response, such as featuring some formerly-released movies with lower price.It is understandable that a theater should struggle for its survival. But before the manager could provide complete information about the actual profits of Apex, and show clear evidence that Apex has attracted many moviegoers because of its new features, we could not hastily conclude that providing these features at Rialto would secure its future prosper.Basing on the assumption that farmers are receiving excessive profits on increased supply of milk, the author recommends Batavia government to regulate retail milk prices. Admittedly, it is the responsibility of the government to ensure the stability of the market, however, several questions must be addressed before we could determine whether the regulation will be necessary and effective for lowering milk price.A critical assumption of the argument is that the farmers are receiving unreasonable profits, which is unwarranted before several factors have been considered. A foremost question is that whether the number of dairy farms could accurately reflect the supply of milk, for there is no necessary relationship between them. It is possible that the average milk supply of each single farm has dropped and therefore the total supply would not increase. It is also possible that a great proportion of milk produced has been processed to other dairy products or has been exported. The milk supply on market will decrease in these cases.Granted that the supply of milk did increase during the past decade, we may well ask that whether the prices of milk are increasing all over the country. The author provides only one sample----the Excello market to illustrate the variation of milk price, but many factors may render the situation at the market unrepresentative of the national trends. Perhaps the supply of milk in the region where the market locates was relatively lower than national average, or the milk production is much more costly here due to some geographic factors. Any one of these possibilities would make the higher milk price in Excllo totally a normal phenomenon.Even if the prices of milk were also doubled throughout the country, just as happened in Excello, the author overlooks a myriad of economic factors that would result in the increase. Consider, for example, the cost of milk production and transportation might have increased as well during the same period, or perhaps the supply of milk could not meet the demand in spite of an increased supply. The author also needs to inform us how much did the price of milk actually increase after adjustment for inflation. Without accounting for these factors, the author could not convince us that farmers have received excessive profits and that the regulation is indeed necessary.Finally, even if the author can successfully address all the questions foregoing, it is unjustifiable to conclude that the regulation of retail milk prices could ensure an adequate supply of milk and therefore, a fair price. It is likely that the regulation would reduce the profits of farmers; they might be less interested in producing milk, or will produce less milk as a response. If so, adopting the author’s recommend ation will actually lead to inadequate supply of milk rather than the optimistic result expected by the author.Undoubtedly, the author’s intention of keeping the market stable and ensuring fair price of milk is justified. But to convince us that the regulation is necessary to ensure a reasonable milk price and adequate supply, the author must substantiate the assumption that the profits received by farmers are undeserved and that the regulation is sufficient for ensuring lower price. Hastily carrying out such regulation would actually pose negative effects on the supply of milk.The fewer sick days and lower diagnosis of stress-related illness in Leeville may, to some extent, indicate better health status of residents. But the situation could also be explained by many other factors. It is too hasty for the Chamber of Commerce to conclude that it is the relaxed pace of life that brings those health benefits.First of all, the Chamber implies that Leeville residents are in satisfying health condition, which serves as a foremost premise of the argument. However, the number of sick days and the diagnosis of stress-related illness do not necessarily indicate the health condition of residents. The fewer sick days may result from strict restrictions on sick leaves at Leeville factories; or perhaps the workers will receive harsher punishment once they take too many sick leaves, thus they will be unable to take more sick leaves as a result. Another explanation is that the workers might be unwilling to be absent from work for certain reasons. Similarly, the fewer diagnosis of stress-related illness could also be explained by other reasons. It is possible that people in Leeville are not willing to visit doctors for these diseases, or maybe there are some differences in the diagnostic criteria of the disease in the two cities. If the criterion or definition of the disease is more rigorous in Leeville than in Masonton, then it is conceivable that the incidence of such disease in Masonton will be higher. In this case, the diagnosis of this illness could not accurately reflect the actual level of stress of residents, let alone their actual level health.Granted that Leeville residents are living healthier lives, physically and mentally, there are still many other factors, rather than the relaxed pace of life suggested by the Chamber, that could contribute to the situation. The myriad factors might include better environment and weather, healthier life style in Leeville, which will lead to good health condition and less illness. It is also possible that the working condition and work ethic in Leeville factories are better than those in Masonton, or Leeville has harmonious neighborhoods, which could explain the lower level of mental stress.As commonly known, a relaxed pa ce of life often promotes people’s health status, but we cannot conclude that the better health of Leeville residents is also the result of their pace of life. The Chamber should consider and rule out all other possibilities before we could be convinced that the relaxed lifestyle is the actual and only explanation for the health condition of Leeville residents.。

Argument 1_ 杀虫公司In this memo the vice president of the food distribution company recommends selecting Buzzoff Company the best mean to save money. To support this recommendation, the vice president cites the fact that the worthy of the food destroyed in the warehouse which Fly-Away Pest Control Company is in charge of is higher last month. His account of this fact, however, reveals several absent of critical evidence needed to evaluate the judgment. Together, these problems serve to undermine the speaker’s argument.First, the vice president assumes that the result of this certain survey deserves enough credit and is representative of the future 水平of Fly-Away Pest Control Company. However, the president fails to provide any evidence to justify the 权威性of the method they adopted in the survey. Thus it is equally possible that the so-called “damaged” they defined as “caused by pest damage”is the ramification of other kind of causes, such as improper storage conditions. Besides, the data acquired merely in a month is not an adequate indicator of the ability of the Fly-Away Pest Control Company either. Maybe there has been a major 虫灾in the city last month. Since the memo fails to account for this alternative explanation, the president cannot convince me that the result of the food damage survey is capable of reflecting the Fly-Away Pest Control Company’s inferiority. Moreover, without ruling out the possibility that Fly-Away Pest Control Company is working on a more effective way to control pest and the company will be more 有效in the future, the validity of the president’s claim will be deminished.Secondly, even if the survey’s result is reliable, it is not fair to compare the two companies which protected food in two different cities. In order for the justifiability of this comparison, one must assume that all the other relevant circumstances involving the food protection are exactly the same. Unfortunately, this assumption is unwarranted. Perhaps, the Palm city where the Fly-Away Pest Control Company is in charge of has a more suitable environment for the pest’s prosperity. Or, perhaps the warehouse in Palm City is significantly larger than the one in the Wintervale and stores much larger amount of the food. Thus the 20,000 dollars loss does not necessarily demonstrate the Fly-Away Pest Control Company’s disability, if the warehouse in the Palm City is to be protected by Buzzoff Company, the loss might be even bigger.Thirdly, even though the Buzzoff Company is in fact more efficient to control the pest, without providing any information about the prices the two companies charge, the president cannot safely conclude that choosing Buzzoff Company can save more money. If the price they charge is so high that it exceeds the amount saved from food damage by abandoning Fly-Away Pest Control Company, this choice will be inadvisable and inexpedient.In sum, the fact that the recommendation lacks certain essential evidences renders it unconvincing as it stands. To bolster the recommendation the vice president must provide clear evidence that the result of the survey is correct and representative and that the relevant conditions in two cities is almost identical so that the superiority of the Buzzoff is explicit. To better assess the recommendation, I would also need to know the exact prices both companies charges as well as the estimated loss after the adopting of one of the companies.。

Considering the few information the author has provided me with, I am not sure the two groups of patients have even been infected for a second time.In addition, the doctors have limited the secondary infections on the severe muscle strain. It is somehow different form the normal muscle injuries and the author has also omitted the possible distinctions here. Since the secondary infections may not inflict the patients, the following deductions appear to be precarious since the most important premise proves to be unwarranted.Sample 不可信From the outset, what is the most fatal, the author's overall view is based on a precarious sample. /The arguer provides no evidence that survey’s respondents are representative of the overall group of ...Twenty five infants cannot well represent a truth generally for the relatively small number of individuals is dubious for scientific observation.This argument contains neither sign of random sampling nor the specific way how the study was conducted.Nor to mention the author has failed to convince me by providing with enough details focusing on the individual characteristics, necessarily including the personality of the parents, the circumstance they were facing since they were born and so on. Possibly, the twenty five infants all belong to a specific type of people; that is to say, their formation of the personalities cannot well illustrate a common truth withheld by all the infants.调查不可信Since the survey is a telephone survey, the reliability of its result is suspicious at many aspects, e.g. the size of the sample, who responded to the survey, if therespondents could exactly understand the questions, if the respondents were forthright when answering the questions, etc.没有对比,无法定义And also, the unfamiliar stimuli, as the author claims, can probably have the same effects on most of the infants. As we all know, it is the human instinct to be scared by the unknown; such characteristics may intensively appear on the infants. Maybe every infant tend to be distressful confronting the unfamiliar, somehow unpleasing stimuli as the infants in the group; therefore there is no reason to believe the distress only exist in the group. Since there is not a control group, which can eliminate such possibility, the author's evidence pointing out the special distress displayed by the group of infants has no strong bases. The comparison is deadly needed since the evidence presented here is a threshold process in verifying the effects of melatonin.还有其他的原因,不是就这一个Even if I admit, the group of the infants can accurately and precisely reflect the special signs of distress,is that to say the production of melatonin is the true reason leading to the result? As I have mentioned above, the genetic inheritance, the environment the infants have faced since the birth and many other factors can also contribute to the distress. Moreover, melatonin may not be the only hormone in effect; there can be a wide varieties of stimuli engendered by their mothers, correspondingly effect the infants; and thus there is no reason to believe a single hormone is the only effective factor, instead of a possible cooperative result. Still the author should provide some control teams eliminating the unrelated influences.错上加错In addition ,the follow-up studying doesn't help to explain and compensate for the fallacies mentioned above;on contrast it further aggravates the confusions made by the author. The author has mentioned a research made in the group of infants who are now teenagers. The relation is not accurate or strong enough to relate the signs to their condition as infants, while categorizing them into the shyness in strictly medical sense. The different conditions in growing up, can be more effective factor deciding what they are when they are teenagers; in fact, if an individual grows up without brother or sister, he can be a silent person since he never get used to talking to others. Such continuation cannot be truly verified, considering the murky information in observing the overall growing process of the infants.类比有错误Even if I admit that the two groups of patients are confronting the secondary infections as the author has stated, the author's analogy appears to be dubious.First and the foremost the author failed to illustrate with detailed information focusing on the patients. If the patients being to the first group treated by Dr. Newland are much stronger on average than that in the second group then the comparison is of little meaning.As a common sense in experiment the scientist should control unrelated factors as much as possible;besides the worries mentioned above, the factors say the age, the gender, or even the live style can also lead to a distinction in recovery. Secondly, if I omit the fallacies above, the author should illustrate his evidence, detailing the difference of two doctors and their treating method. Possibly, Dr. Newland is an expert in muscle injuries and Dr.Alton has a wider scope in his major and therefore, Dr. Alton doesn't have performance as excellent as Dr. Newland. And the treating condition and environment can also be divergent;a specifist may have better and more fitful medical utility dealing with the problem. Thus to blame the secondary infections for the delay in recovery is highly reckless while not ruling out all the alternative explanation all mentioned above.两个东西不能比,有差别In the ** place,Another trouble with the argument is that no clear evidence is provided to substantiate that the endemic/national statistics about the *** can be applied equally to other regions in the country.
