In this memo Grove College's administration recommends preserving its tradition of
admitting only female students. The administration admits that most faculty members are in
favor of a co-educational policy as a means of encouraging more students to apply to Grove.
But the administration defends its recommendation by citing a student government survey in
which 80% of student respondents and more than 50% of alumni respondents reported that
they favor the status quo. The administration reasons that preserving the status quo would
209
improve student morale and help ensure continued alumni donations to Grove. This argument
is flawed in several critical respects.
First, the memo provides no evidence that the results of either of the two surveys are
statistically reliable. For example, suppose newer students tend to be content with the all
female policy while students who have attended Grove for a longer time would prefer a
co-educational policy. If a disproportionate number of the survey's respondents were newer
students, then the survey results would distort the student body's opinion as a group. With
respect to the alumni survey, perhaps fewer alumni who donate substantial sums to Grove
responded to the survey than other alumni did. If so, then the survey results would distort the
comparison between the total amount of future donations under the two scenarios. Besides,
the memo provides no information about what percentage of Grove's students and alumni
responded to the surveys; the lower the percentages, the less reliable the results of the
surveys.
Secondly, the administration hastily assumes that Grove's alumni as a group would be less
inclined to donate money merely if Grove begins admitting male students. This aspect of
Grove's admission policy is only one of many factors that might affect alumni donations. For
example, since Grove's faculty are generally in favor of changing the policy, perhaps the
change would improve faculty morale and therefore the quality of instruction, in mm having a
positive impact on alumni donations. And, if the particular alumni who are in a position to make
the largest contributions recognize faculty morale as important, an increase in donations by
these individuals might very well offset a dedine in smaller donations by other alumni.
Finally, the administration's argument that student morale would improve under the status
quo is logically unsound in two respects. First, the administration provides no reason why
morale would improve, as opposed to remaining at its current level, if the status quo is simply
maintained. Second, the administration cannot logically determine how the morale of the
student body would be affected under a co-educational policy until it implements that policy
and takes into account the morale of the new male students along with that of all female
students. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（123） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。Gre写作是美国所有作文考试中时刻最长而质量要求最高的一类作文考试，而在短期内提高gre写作能力不是一天两天可以完成额，所以我们在备考2011新gre写作时必然要对问题问题深切的剖析，体味以下优异范文的文章结构，以提高新gre写作的整体分数。
In sum, the administration has failed to convince me that maintaining Grove's all-female
policy would be more likely to improve student morale and help ensure continued alumni
donations than moving to a co-educational policy. To better assess the argument I would need
detailed information about the two surveys to determine whether the respondents as groups
were representative of their respective populations. To bolster its recommendation the
administration must provide better evidence--perhaps by way of a reliable alumni survey that
takes into account respondents' financial status and history of donadons--that prospective
donor alumni would be strongly opposed to a co-educational policy and would be less inclined
to donate money were Grove to implement such a policy.
Argument 63
The following appeared in a letter to the school board in the town of Centerville.
"All students should be required to take the driver's education course at Centerville High
School. In the past two years several accidents in and around Centerville have involved
teenage drivers. Since a number of parents in Centerville have complained that they are too
210
busy to teach their teenagers to drive, some other instruction is necessary to ensure that these
teenagers are safe drivers. Although there are two driving schools in Centerville, parents on a
tight budget cannot afford to pay for driving instruction. Therefore an effective and mandatory
program sponsored by the high school is the only solution to this serious problem."
This letter recommends mandatory driver's education courses at Centerville High School.
The author bases this recommendation on three facts: during the last two years several
Centerville car accidents have involved teenage drivers; Centerville parents are too busy to
teach driving to their children; and the two private driver-education courses in the area are
expensive. As discussed below, the argument suffers from several critical flaws and is
therefore unpersuasive. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（123） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。Gre写作是美国所有作文考试中时刻最长而质量要求最高的一类作文考试，而在短期内提高gre写作能力不是一天两天可以完成额，所以我们在备考2011新gre写作时必然要对问题问题深切的剖析，体味以下优异范文的文章结构，以提高新gre写作的整体分数。
First of all, the letter fails to indicate who or what caused the car accidents to which the letter
refers. If Centerville High School students caused the accidents, and if those accidents would
have been avoided had these students enrolled in the high school's driving course, then the
argument would have merit. However, it is equally likely that the other drivers were at fault, or
that no driver was at fault. Moreover, it is entirely possible that the teenage drivers had in fact
taken the high school's driving course, or that they were not local high school students in the
first place. The author must rule out all these possibilities in order to conclude confidently that
a school-sponsored mandatory driving course would have prevented these accidents.
Secondly, whether the fact that several car accidents the last two years involved teenage
drivers suggests a need for a mandatory driving course depends partly on the comparative
accident rate during earlier years. It is entirely possible, for instance, that the rate of accidents
involving teenagers has been steadily declining, and that this decline is due to the availability
of the two private driving courses. Without ruling out this possibility, the letter's conclusion is
not defensible.
The argument is problematic in certain other respects as well. It assumes that a mandatory
school-sponsored course would be effective, yet provides no evidence to support this
assumption. Similarly, the argument fails to substantiate its assumption that a significant
percentage of Centerville's parents cannot afford private driving instruction for their teenage
children. Absent substantiating evidence for either of these necessary assumptions, I cannot
be convinced that Centerville should establish the proposed driving course.
In conclusion, the letter's author fails to adequately support the recommendation for a
school-sponsored mandatory driving course. To strengthen the argument, the author must
provide clear evidence that Centerville High School students caused the accidents in question,
and that a mandatory driving course would have prevented them. To better evaluate the
argument, I would need more information about the affordability of the two private driving
courses and about the effectiveness of a mandatory school-sponsored course compared to
that of the two private courses. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（123） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
