Even if Mega's seminar attendees are involved in sales and customer relations, the ad
unfairly assumes that the improvement in Mega's sales must be attributable to the seminar.
Perhaps the improvement in sales was the result of increasing product demand, new pricing
policies, decreased competition, or any one of a myriad of other possible developments. For
that matter, perhaps Mega's new employees as a group already possessed exceptional
interpersonal skills, and therefore Mega's sales and customer relations would have improved
during the ensuing months regardless of the seminar. Since the ad fails to consider and rule
out these and other alternative explanations for the improvements at Mega, I find the ad's daim
190
that the Dickens seminar should receive credit unconvincing.
Even if the Dickens seminar was responsible for improved sales and customer relations at
Mega, the ad's claim that all other businesses would benefit similarly from a Dickens seminar
is unjustified. It is entirely possible that the techniques and skills that participants in Dickens'
seminars learn are effective for the kind of business in which Mega engages, but not for other
types of businesses. Although it is possible that Dickens' training methods would be equally
effective for other types of businesses, since Dickens has not provided evidence that this is the
case I remain unconvinced by the ad's daim.
In sum, this ad fails to provide key evidence needed to support its claim. To strengthen that
claim Dickens must show that Mega’s seminar attendees – and not other employees or other
occurrences – were indeed responsible for the subsequent improvement in sales, and that
customer relations also improved as a result of their attending the seminar. Dikens must also
provide additional success stories – about other types of businesses – to convince me
Dickens’ traning methods will work for any business.
Argument 45
The following is a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
"As a local merchant, I wish to support the development of a ski resort in the state park north of
our township. Along with many other merchants who favor the proposal by Ski the Slopes,
Incorporated, I would, of course, experience a growth in my business. But I also know how
much more prosperous, not to mention lively and interesting, our community would be if
tourism increased. Since the main opposition comes from a few environmentalists* who do not
even live in this community, I see no reason to give in to their views. The First National Bank
has finally researched the project and agreed to fund it. As a result, I see no reason to delay
development of the resort." 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（113） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE作文是中国学生比较头痛的，经常准备很多时间最后还是只得到3.5。我之所以得到6分，个人认为我的文风比较淳朴扎实，有科学性，写的思路比较广(正、反、特)，字数也比较多(I800+、A700+)。
*Environmentalists are people who advocate the preservation of the natural environment.
This editorial concludes that a new ski resort should be developed north of town because it
would attract tourism and therefore be an economic boon to local merchants. To support this
claim the author, a local merchant, points out that those opposed to the project do not live in
the area and that a bank has agreed to fund the project. The argument suffers from several
critical flaws and is therefore unpersuasive as it stands.
First of all, that mere fact that environmentalists who oppose the development do not live in
the town lends no credible support to the editorial’s conclusion. In essence the author attemps
to argue for one position by attacking his opponents based on potentially irrelevant
considerations. We are not informed about the enviromentalists’ specific reasons for their
position. Besides, although they do not live in the town they might operate business or own
property in the area; thus, their opposition might be based on economic grounds entirely
relevant to the argument.
Secondly, the editoral provides no firm evidence to justify the assertion that a new ski resort
north of town will in fact benefit the town’s merchants. It is entirely possible that the resort
191
might have the opposite effect, by drawing business away from local merchants, especially if
the resort includes facilities such as apparel shops, restaurants, and grocery stores. Besides,
we are not in informed how far from town the resort would be located or how tourists would
reach the resort. It is possible, for example, that the resort would be situated where visitors
would take a route that does not pass through the town. Without ruling out these possibilities
the editorial cannot justify its assertion that the resort would be a boon for local merchants. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（113） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE作文是中国学生比较头痛的，经常准备很多时间最后还是只得到3.5。我之所以得到6分，个人认为我的文风比较淳朴扎实，有科学性，写的思路比较广(正、反、特)，字数也比较多(I800+、A700+)。
Thirdly, the editoral’s conclusion relies partly on the fact that a bank has agreed to fund the
resort’s development. However, this fact alone does not lend support to the assertion that local
merchants will benefit. Common sense tells me that the bank agreed to fund the project
because it believes the resort will be profitable, not because it believes other local merchants
will benefit. In fact, a profitable ski resort might very well draw business away from local
merchants.
In conclusion, the argument is untenable as it stands. To strengthen it, the editorial’s author
must provide clear evidence that the resort would increase business for the town’s merchants
rather than drawing business away from these merchants. To better evaluate the argument,
we would need more information about the bank’s reasons for agreeing to fund the project –
especially whether the bank also lends to existing local merchants whose interests would be
affected by the resort.
Argument 46
The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of possible harmful
effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near the sites. A total of five sites and
300 people were examined. The study revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation
between the proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes
among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that people living near the
largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes, there was otherwise no
correlation between the size of the garbage sites and people's health. Therefore, the council is
pleased to announce that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant
health hazard. We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any
restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites.
The Trash-Site Council concludes here that there is no public-health reason to restrict the
size of trash sites or their proximity to homes. The Council cites its recent statewide study
involving five sites and 300 people; in the study the Council observed only a small correlation
between the residents’ proximity to a trash site and unexplained rashes, and only a “slightly
higher incidence” of rashes among people living near larger sites. The study suffers from
certain statistical and other problems, which render the Council’s argument based upon it
unpersuasive.
First, the Council has not convinced me that the five sites in the survery are representative
of trash sites in general throughout the state – in terms of their impact on the health of nearby
residents. Admittedly, the study was a “statewide” one. Nevertheless, it is entirely possible that
the five sites studied are characterized by certain environmental conditions that are not typical
of most sites in the state and which render nearby residents either more or less susceptible to
rashes and other health problems. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（113） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
