1. Citingfacts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a

downwardtrend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues

thatOlympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits

in thefuture. In support of this conclusion the author cites the general principlethat "as

organizationslearn how to do things better, they become more efficient." Thisprinciple,

coupledwith the fact that Olympic Foods has had 25 years of experience in the food

processingindustry leads to the author's rosy prediction. This argument is unconvincing

becauseit suffers from two critical flaws.

First,the author's forecast of minimal costs and maximum profits rests on the

gratuitousassumption that Olympic Foods' "long experience" has taught it how todo

thingsbetter. There is, however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does theauthor

cite anyevidence to support this assumption. Just as likely, Olympic Foods has learned

nothingfrom its 25 years in the food-processing business. Lacking this assumption, the

expectationof increased efficiency is entirely unfounded.

Second,it is highly doubtful that the facts drawn from the color-film processing

industryare applicable to the food processing industry. Differences between the two

industriesclearly outweigh the similarities, thus making the analogy highly less than

valid.For example, problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation all

affectthe food industry but are virtually absent in the film-processing industry.

Problemssuch as these might present insurmountable obstacles that prevent lowering

food-processingcosts in the future.

Asit stands the author's argument is not compelling. To strengthen the conclusion

thatOlympic Foods will enjoy minimal costs and maximum profits in the future, the

authorwould have to provide evidence that the company has learned how to do things

better asa result of its 25 years of experience. Supporting examples drawn from

industriesmore similar to the food-processing industry would further substantiate the

author'sview.

In this argument the author concludes that the Apogee Company should dose

downfield offices and conduct all its operations from a single, centralizedlocation

becausethe company had been more profitable in the past when all its operations were

in onelocation. For a couple of reasons, this argument is not very convincing.

First,the author assumes that centralization would improve profitability by cutting

costs andstreamlining supervision of employees. This assumption is never supported

with anydata or projections. Moreover, the assumption fails to take into account cost

increasesand inefficiency that could result from centralization. For instance, company

representativeswould have to travel to do business in areas formerly served by a field

office,creating travel costs and loss of critical time. In short, this assumption mustbe

supportedwith a thorough cost-benefit analysis of centralization versus other possible

cost-cuttingand/or profit-enhancing strategies.

Second,the only reason offered by the author is the claim that Apogee was more

profitablewhen it had operated from a single, centralized location. But is centralization

the onlydifference relevant to greater past profitability? It is entirely possible that

managementhas become lax regarding any number of factors that can affect the bottom

line suchas inferior products, careless product pricing, inefficient production, poor

employeeexpense account monitoring, ineffective advertising, sloppy buying policies

and otherwasteful spending. Unless the author can rule out other factors relevant to

diminishingprofits, this argument commits the fallacy of assuming that just because one

event(decreasing profits) follows another (decentralization), the second event hasbeen

caused bythe first.

In conclusion, this is a weak argument. To strengthen the conclusion that Apogee

shouldclose field offices and centralize. This author must provide a thorough cost-

benefitanalysis of available alternatives and rule out factors other than decentralization

thatmight be affecting current profits negatively.

[范文3] 来了。坚持练习！！！

In this argument the author concludesthat the city should allocate some of its arts

fundingto public television. The conclusion is based on two facts: (1) attendance atthe

city's artmuseum has increased proportionally with the increases in visual-arts program

viewingon public television, and (2) public television is being threatened by severecuts

incorporate funding. White this argument is somewhat convincing, a few concerns need

to beaddressed.

Tobegin with, the argument depends on the assumption that increased exposure to

thevisual arts on television, mainly public television, has caused a similarincrease in

localart-museum attendance. However, just because increased art-museum attendance

can bestatistically correlated with similar increases in television viewing ofvisual-arts

programs,this does not necessarily mean that the increased television viewing of arts is

the causeof the rise in museum attendance.

Moreover,perhaps there are other factors relevant to increased interest in the local

artmuseum; for instance, maybe a new director had procured more interesting,exciting

acquisitionsand exhibits during the period when museum attendance increased, in

addition,the author could be overlooking a common cause of both increases. It is

possiblethat some larger social or cultural phenomenon is responsible for greaterpublic

interestin both television arts programming and municipal art museums.

Tobe fair, however, we must recognize that the author's assumption is a special

case of amore general one that television viewing affects people's attitudes and

behavior.Common sense and observation tells me that this is indeed the case. After all,

advertisersspend billions of dollars on television ad time because they trust this

assumptionas well.

Inconclusion, I am somewhat persuaded by this author's line of reasoning. The

argumentwould be strengthened if the author were to consider and rule out other

significantfactors that might have caused the increase in visits to the local art museum.

[范文4] 尽管是周末，最近上海的天气也是一副春光大好的感觉，貌似好朋友们都出去旅游了...（55555~）但我也要坚持来发范文

In response to a coincidence between calling revenues and delays in manufacturing,the report recommends replacing the manager of the purchasing department.The grounds for this action are twofold. First, the delays are traced to poor planningin purchasing metals. Second, the purchasing manager's lack of knowledge of theproperties of metals is thought to be the cause of the poor planning. It isfurther recommendedthat the position of the purchasing manager be filled by a scientist from theresearch division and that the current purchasing manager be reassigned to thesales department.In support of this latter recommendation, the report states that the current purchasingmanager's background in general business, psychology, and sociology equip him forthis new assignment. The recommendations advanced in the report are questionablefor two reasons.

To begin with, the report fails to establish a causal connection between thefalling revenuesof the company and the delays in manufacturing. The mere fact that falling revenuescoincide with delays in manufacturing is insufficient to conclude that the delayscaused the decline in revenue. Without compelling evidence to support thecausal connectionbetween these two events, the report's recommendations are not worthy of

consideration.

Second,a central assumption of the report is that knowledge of the properties of metals isnecessary for planning in purchasing metals. No evidence is stated in the report tosupport this crucial assumption. Moreover, it is not obvious that such knowledgewould be required to perform this task. Since planning is essentially a logisticalfunction, it is doubtful that in-depth knowledge of the properties of metals would behelpful in accomplishing this task.

In conclusion, this is a weak argument. To strengthen the recommendation that the managerof the purchasing department be replaced, the author would have to demonstratethat the falling revenues were a result of the delays in manufacturing. Additionally,the author would have to show that knowledge of the properties of metals is aprerequisite for planning in purchasing metals.

【范文5】

A news paper publisher is recommending that the price of its paper, The Mercury,

bereduced below the price of a competing newspaper, The Bugle. This

recommendationresponds to a severe decline in circulation of The Mercury during the

5-yearperiod following the introduction of The Bugle. The publisher's line ofreasoning

is thatlowering the price of The Mercury will increase its readership, therebyincreasing

profitsbecause a wider readership attracts more advertisers. This line of reasoning is

problematicin two critical respects.

While it is clear that increased circulation would make the paper more attractive to

potentialadvertisers, it is not obvious that lowering the subscription price is the most

effectiveway to gain new readers. The publisher assumes that price is the only factor

thatcaused the decline in readership. But no evidence is given to support thisclaim.

Moreover,given that The Mercury was the established local paper, it is unlikely that

such amass exodus of its readers would be explained by subscription price alone.

There are many other factors that might account for a decline in The Mercury's

popularity.For instance, readers might be displeased with the extent and accuracy of its

newsreporting, or the balance of local to other news coverage. Moreover, it ispossible

TheMercury has recently changed editors, giving the paper a locally unpopularpolitical

perspective.Or perhaps readers are unhappy with the paper's format, the timeliness of

itsfeature articles, its comics or advice columns, the extent and accuracy of itslocal

eventcalendar, or its rate of errors.

In conclusion, this argument is weak because it depends on an oversimplified

assumptionabout the causal connection between the price of the paper and its

popularity.To strengthen the argument, the author must identify and explore relevant

factorsbeyond cost before concluding that lowering subscription prices will increase

circulationand, thereby, increase advertising revenues.

【范文6】

In this argument corporations are urged to consider the city of Helios when

seeking anew location or new business opportunities. To support this recommendation,

theauthor points out that Helios is the industrial center of the region, providingmost of

theregion's manufacturing jobs and enjoying a lower-than-average unemploymentrate.

Moreover,it is argued, efforts are currently underway to expand the economic base o'

the cityby attracting companies that focus on research and development of innovative

technologies.This argument is problematic for two reasons.

To begin with, it is questionable whether the available labor pool in Helios could

supportall types of corporations. Given that Helios has attracted mainly industrialand

manufacturingcompanies in the past, it is unlikely that the local pool of prospective

employeeswould be suitable for corporations of other types. For example, the needs of

researchand development companies would not be met by a labor force trained in

manufacturingskills. For this reason, it's unlikely that Helios will be successful in its

attemptto attract companies that focus or research and development of innovative

technologies.

Another problem with the available work force is its size. Due to the lower than

averageunemployment rate in Helios, corporations that require large numbers of

workerswould not find Helios attractive. The fact that few persons are out of work

suggeststhat new corporations will have to either attract new workers to Helios or Day

theexisting workers higher wages in order to lure them away from their currentjobs.

Neitherof these alternatives seems enticing to companies seeking to relocate.

In conclusion, the author has not succeeded in providing compelling reasons for

selectingHelios as the site for a company wishing to relocate. In fact, the reasons

offeredfunction better as reasons for not relocating to Helios. Nor has the author

providedcompelling reasons for companies seeking new business opportunities to

chooseHelios.
