昨天写了issue，是在太伤心了，今天就认真看范文没有写，现在写了一篇Argu。希望大家继续帮我指正。真的非常感谢！！！！
The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme Publishing Company.
"Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was able to read a 500-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read would cost Acme only $500 per employee—a small price to pay when you consider the benefits. Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City
and a lifelong subscription to the Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to take the Easy Read course."
Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
The author in this statement comes to reach the conclusion that Acme will benefit greatly based on the condition that its employees all take the Easy Read course. To justify this assumption, the author points out some plausible evidences to convince his/her president, but when think further, these proves are questionable and full of flaws.
First and foremost, the author gets the assumption that people who has got this course can read 500-page report in two hours, which sounds amazing and fantastic. Nonetheless, does the author assumes that this guy can not read 100-page report in hours or even can not read before taking this course? If so, I think this course is really amazing and I also want to take. However, if this guy already has the ability to read 500-page report or even more before he/she takes this course, does this course useful? I believe none of us will take this course.
Taking a step back, we assume this assumption is true and this course is real amazing in improving our reading ability but only basing on it, there has no crucial intersection with the promotion in a company. The author claims that as long as you take this course your reading speed will be improved and your will promotes to a higher position in your company. Which sounds attractive but more doubt. In order to prove this assumption the author also cites an example that a person who has took this course and promoted to the vice president in a year. However, unless the author clarifies that this guy has the same conditions as his/her colleagues owns before taking this course, it is unconvincing for this example. If this person already be the candidate of the vice president before he/she taking the course, so this evidence is fundamentally useless. Maybe it is the pretext for his/her promotion. To enhance this evidence’s reliability, the author needs define the initial conditions as the comparable parts.
What’s more, granted that the assumptions above are all right, they are none of the business of the faster you read, the more information you can get in a single day which the author finally claims. These course aims to accelerate the taker’s reading speed rather than the ability to get information. Even though we can read 500-page report in two hours but the information we absorb is less than these who recite these reports in a month. It is the truth. So we can not guarantee that the faster read we read and the more information we can absorb, unless the author defines both comparable person read with the same conditions like time, content and quantity.
This statement can not be an acceptable recommendation in logically before the author gives more detailed and accurate evidence in all aspects above.
再次感谢竹林哥，llshruby 对昨天那篇龌龊不堪的issue进行指点！！！ |
