As for the second finding, the term "many" is far too vague to allow for any meaningful
conclusions; if "many" amounts to an insignificant percentage of downsized employees, then
the finding is of little use in refuting the article's claim. Moreover, the workers to whom this
finding refers are not necessarily downsized corporate employees. To the extent that they are
not, this second finding is irrelevant in drawing any conclusions about the impact of corporate
downsizing on downsized employees.
The third finding would lend support to the author's position only under two assumptions: (1)
that the newly created jobs in those high-paying industries are suitable for downsized
corporate employees, and (2) that the new jobs are among the high-paying ones. Otherwise,
downsized employees seeking jobs would be unlikely to regain their former economic status
by applying for these newly created positions, whether or not these positions are full-time.
In sum, the author has not effectively refuted the article's claim that corporate downsizing
has worked economic hardship on downsized corporate employees. To more effectively refute
the claim the author should provide clear evidence that most of those job-seekers are able to
fill the sorts of new jobs that have been created since 1992, and that these new positions are
suitable for those job-seekers given their work experience, areas of interest, and former
salaries.

Argument 32
According to a poll of 200 charitable organizations, donations of money to nonprofit groups
increased by nearly 25 percent last year, though not all charities gained equally. Religious
groups gained the most (30 percent), followed by environmental groups (23 percent), whereas
educational institutions experienced only a very small increase in donations (3 percent). This
poll indicates that more people are willing and able to give money to charities but that funding
for education is not a priority for most people. These differences in donation rates must result
from the perception that educational institutions are less in need of donations than are other
kinds of institutions. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（106） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE，全称Graduate Record Examination，中文名称为美国研究生入学考试，适用于除法律与商业外的各专业。由美国教育考试服务处(Educational Testing Service，简称ETS)主办，GRE是美国、加拿大的大学各类研究生院（除管理类学院，法学院）要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩，也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。 另有，Generic Routing Encapsulation（通用路由封装）也简称GRE。
In this argument the author cites a poll showing that the amount of charitable donations
increased last year, but that the increase to educational institutions was far less than to either
religious or environmental groups. Based on this evidence the author condudes that more
people are willing and able to make charitable donations, but that education is not a priority for
most people. The author also concludes that the discrepancy among donation rates is the
result of a general perception that educational institutions are in less need of money than other
insttutons are. This argument depends on several unsubstanuated assumptions and is
therefore unpersuasive as it stands.
First of all, the author's conclusions about people's willingness to donate to the three types
of charities listed depend on the assumption that the poll results are statistically reliable. Yet,
the author offers no evidence to substantiate this assumption. The author must show that the
200 charitable organizations polled constitute a sufficiently large sample of religious,
environmental, and educational charities, and that this sample is representative of all such
charities. Otherwise, the author cannot confidently draw any general conclusions about the
willingness of people to donate to these three types of institutions, or about general
perceptions regarding the needs of any such institutions.
Similarly, the author's sweeping claim that "more people are willing and able to give money
to charities" depends on the assumption that the poll results are sufficiently representative of
charitable giving in general. Yet, the author offers no evidence to substantiate this assumption.
The author must show that the 25% total increase in the rate of donations to the three types of
institutions polled is representative of the increase in donations to all types of charities. The
author must also show that the total number of donors actually increased last year; as it stands
the argument leaves open the possibility that the total number of donors decreased last year
while the average amount given by each donor increased. Absent evidence to support these
assumptions, the author's broad contusion that "more people are willing and able" to make
charitable donations is dubious at best. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（106） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。GRE，全称Graduate Record Examination，中文名称为美国研究生入学考试，适用于除法律与商业外的各专业。由美国教育考试服务处(Educational Testing Service，简称ETS)主办，GRE是美国、加拿大的大学各类研究生院（除管理类学院，法学院）要求申请者所必须具备的一个考试成绩，也是教授对申请者是否授予奖学金所依据的最重要的标准。 另有，Generic Routing Encapsulation（通用路由封装）也简称GRE。
Additionally, the author provides no evidence whatsoever for the claim that educational
institutions are perceived as less needy than other institutions, or that this perception explains
the lower donation rate to educational institutions. Lacking such evidence, there are many
other possible explanations for the discrepancy in donation rates. Perhaps people's perception
is that educational institutions are more likely than the other types to squander or misuse
donated money; or perhaps most donors are simply more interested in advocating religions or
176
environmental protection than in subsidizing education. For that matter, perhaps among all
charitable organizations educational institutions ranked third last year in terms of gifts received
bettered only by religious and environmental charities. Such evidence would serve to
undermine the author's claim that funding for education is "not a priority for most people."
In conclusion, the argument is indefensible as it stands. To strengthen it the author must
assure me that the poll results accurately reflect donation rates not only to all religious,
environmental, and educational institutions but also to the broader group of all charitable
institutions. The author must also provide clear evidence for the claimed perception about the
need of educational institutions and that this perception, and not some other factor, explains
the comparatively low donation rate to these institutions. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（106） 》一文，查字典出国留学网()编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
