“After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by members. Therefore, in order to increase the number of our members and thus our revenues, which depend on membership fees, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.”
Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc.
Because
First, and foremost, the author assumes that an increase in member usage portends an increase in membership. This assumption may hold true in some cases. However, it is unlikely to hold true in the case at hand, because it is reasonable to expect that members would visit the fitness center to inspect and try out the new swimming pool. This would account for the increase in usage. However, since the author provides no evidence that this new rate of usage was sustained, the abrupt increase in usage provides little evidence that the addition of facilities such as the pool will attract new members.
我觉的这段的批评有问题，因为他说新的游泳池只是会让会员去看看试试，但并不知道这个会不会持续，但游泳池对于还不是会员的所有人应该都是“新”的，如果按这个批评的理论发展的话，应该是支持了题中的结论，注意，题中已经完全说清楚了这个使用的增加是BY MEMBERS的
我觉得非要从这个上面去攻击的话，应该是说这个使用的增加是因为新的泳池让原有的会员去的次数更多了，而并没有吸引新的会员，也就没有增加会员的数量。
请大家一起讨论一下。。。
