[AWA模板] 我的Argument模板供大家参考

Beginning:       template: 37 words.

The conclusion of this argument is that…      
To support this conclusion, the author provides evidence that…      
Another evidence given by the author is that…      
This argument seems to be plausible at first glance, however, several critical flaws seriously undermine this argument.      

1 Biased Sample Fallacy       template: 98 words.

First, the author commits the biased sample fallacy by choosing the … as sample in the survey.      
The data for the inference in this argument are drawn from a sample that  may not be representative of the entire population.      
Since the survey was conducted of people who were…, not all … had an equal chance of being included in the sample.      
For example people not surveyed may not agree with…, thus leading to the contrary of the conclusion.      
Therefore, in this case of biased sample, the result of the survey is worthless as evidence for the conclusion.      

2 Insufficient Sample Fallacy       template: 91 words.
First, the author commits the insufficient sample fallacy by choosing the … as sample in the survey.      
XX are far from enough to support the conclusion about the XX.      
Since the survey was conducted of only XX people,  the other XX people did not have an equal chance of being included in the sample.      
For example, people not surveyed may not agree with…, thus leading to the contrary of the conclusion.      
Therefore, in this case of insufficient sample, the result of the survey is worthless as evidence for the conclusion.      
        
3 the "after this, therefore, because of this" fallacy= the concurrence fallacy        template: 114 words.
Second, the author commits the "after this, therefore, because of this" fallacy/concurrence fallacy by assuming that the A is the direct cause of B.      
The only evidence offered in this argument to support this assumption is that the A preceded/ happened at the same time of the B.      
While the A may have been a cause of B, other factors can also contribute to the B.      
For example, …      
Therefore, without ruling out these other possibilities, the author can not establish that A is the cause of B.      
Thus, the evidence that  the A preceded/ happened at the same time of the B does not lend strong support to the conclusion.      
        
4 Fallacy of faulty analogy       template: 72 words.
Second, the author commits the fallacy of faulty analogy in assuming that what happens in A will happen in B.      
However, this analogy is highly suspect because A and B have several serious differences.        
For example, A----, however, B----.        
Meanwhile, the author does not provide any information to explain how A and B is analogous.      
Therefore, the assumption that B will as A has been is unwarranted.      

5 The "all things are equal" fallacy       template: 89 words.
Second, the author commits the "all things are equal" fallacy by claiming that …      
The assumption of this argument is that nothing has changed since…      
However, the author does not provide any evidence to justify this assumption.      
In fact, things rarely remain the same from place to place, and things rarely remain the same from time to time.      
For example, the change of XX from … may result in the failure of …      
Therefore, the evidence that … does not lend strong support to the conclusion.      

6 The fallacy of either-or thinking       template: 75 words.
Furthermore, the author commits the fallacy of either-or thinking.      
The argument above assumes that there are only two possible alternatives: A and B, and these two alternatives are mutually exclusive.      
However, the author does not explain why the two alternatives are mutually exclusive and why there is no the third choice.      
In fact, the XX can use both A and B to solve the problem.      
Therefore, the assumption that either A or B is unfounded.      

7 Fallacy of Hasty generalization       template: 68 words.
Furthermore, the argument commits the fallacy of hasty generalization.      
One example is usually insufficient to establish a general conclusion, for there is no evidence to show that A1 is not an exception.        
For example, …      
Unless the arguer can show that A1 is representative of all A, the conclusion that B… is unwarranted      
Thus, the evidence that  the A1  does not lend strong support to the conclusion.      

8 Survey is doubtful       template: 68 words.
First, the survey cited by the author is too vague to be reliable.      
The argument does not indicate who conducted the survey, who responded, when and how the survey was conducted,        
while these information is important for readers to understand the result of the survey.        
For example, …      
Therefore, in this case of lacking enough information,  the result of the survey is worthless as evidence for the conclusion.      
        

Endding:       template: 47 words.
In conclusion, the author fails to justify the claim that…due to the above mentions flaws.      
The argument would have been more convincing if the author provided more evidence to demonstrate that…      
In addition, the author should provide evidence to rule out the above mentioned other possibilities.      

我的template大家可以放心使用。一是基本是我从GMAT800AWA中提炼的，和原来的七宗罪不完全一样。二是我考试时由于题目原因，除了开头结尾都没用上。

使用的模板不用太拘泥于原文，其实模板的最大好处是让你每句话该说什么心里有数。当时根据具体情况修改一两句都可以，不必一字一句照搬。

另外，一定要自己做自己的模板，背别人的不太容易记住。
