21.开头：1. In this article, Dr. Karp predicts that by using the interview centered method, her group of graduate students will establish an accurate understanding of the child-rearing culture on Tertia Island and other islands as well.2. Her conclusion is based on the comparison between her research and the research of another scholar, Dr. Field.3. However, only if she provides more detailed evidence can we more accurately evaluate the soundness of her reasoning.正文：第一段：我的访谈+F的观察->F错，我对1. To begin with, Dr. Karp mentions that while twenty years ago, Dr. Field’s observation led to the conclusion that children of Tertia are reared by the whole village, her own interview shows that these children actually spend more time talking about their own biological parents. Based on this apparent conflict, she quickly claims that Dr. Field’s conclusion is wrong. However,the inference is problematic because she unwarranted assumes that her interview is unbiased, that children reared by an entire village would not want to talk more about their own parents, and that the culture has not significantly changed during the past twenty years. 2. First, perhaps the reason why children would talk more about their parents is not that they really intend so, but simply that most questions asked by Dr. Karp are related to their parents. If given less biased topics, they would still show parity toward every adult in the whole village. Second, even if all questions are fair, there still exists the possibility that they are raised by an entire tribe while at the same time being extremely close to their own parents. If so, it may still be their tendency to talk more about parents, even though they are not particular raised by them. Third, granted that Dr. Karp’s research is valid, it is insufficient for her to negate Dr. Field’s conclusion. As the world becomes more globalized, many minority cultures are assimilating factors from modern world. Perhaps Tertia is such a culture. In the past twenty years, its convention has undergone drastic change. Thus,maybe both researchers are correct in their statements.3. Thus, Dr. Karp had better provide more information regarding the questions asked in her interview. Also, she should directly ask the children who they are raised by, instead of simply drawing conclusion from who they most frequently mention. In addition, she should investigate further about the possible changes that took place in the past twenty years. Only with all these efforts made, can we be in a better place to evaluate the plausibility of her prediction.第二段：F错，我对+方法的区别->观察<访谈1. Furthermore, even if Dr. Field is indeed mistaken, it is still too hasty for Dr. Karp to assert that the entire observation-centered method is invalid. She clearly assumes that no other factors can ultimately be responsible for Dr. Field’s mistake.2. However, maybe the reason is much simpler. Dr. Field only observed a couple of children while Dr. Karp interviewed almost the entire tribe. Thus, had Dr. Field been more rigorous in her research, observation would still have led to a correct result.3. Therefore, Dr. Field needs to provide more specific evidence regarding the actual procedures taken by Dr. Field in the latter’s observation, before she can attribute Dr. Field’s failure to the methodology adopted.第三段：观察<访谈+学生访谈->学生NX1. Finally, even if the interview-centered method is in fact superior compared to the observation-centered approach, the students will not necessarily reach a correct understand simply because they have the right tool in hand. Dr. Karp illegitimately assumes that the students have fool mastery of the approach.2. However, perhaps the method is extremely difficult to grasp and often takes a researcher years to become skilled at. Unfortunately, Dr. Karp’s students are far not as hard-working as they should be. They skip classes, fail in exams, and often hand in papers of poor quality. If so, it is more likely that they understanding of these island cultures will stray far from truth.3. Hence, Dr. Karp needs to offer more information about the quality of her students as well as the level of expertise they have regarding the interview-centeredmethod. Only if she can show that they are up to the challenge, can she be optimistic in predicting their success.结论：To sum up, Dr. Karp should provide all aforementioned evidence so that her prediction can eventually be justified.。
