117 The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a food distribution company with food storage warehouses in several cities.

"Recently, we signed a contract with the Fly-Away Pest Control Company to provide pest control services at our warehouse in Palm City, but last month we discovered that over $20,000 worth of food there had been destroyed by pest damage. Meanwhile, the Buzzoff Pest Control Company, which we have used for many years in Palm City, continued to service our warehouse in Wintervale, and last month only $10,000 worth of the food stored there had been destroyed by pest damage. Even though the price charged by Fly-Away is considerably lower, our best means of saving money is to return to Buzzoff for all our pest control services."

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.

提纲
Firstly, it is unfair to infer based solely on the comparison between the worth of food destroyed by pest damage that B does better work than A.

Secondly, the vice president's recommendation rests on the assumption that B will do well in the pest control services of all warehouses.

Finally, even if B will do well in the pest control services of all warehouses, in claiming that to return to B for all our control services is the best means of saving money the vice president assumes that the company has only two alternatives---A and B, and there are no other ways to control pest.

The vice president of a food distribution company with food storage warehouses in several cities argues here that the best way of saving money in to return to Buzzoff for all our pest control services. To support this argument the vice president points out that over $20,000 worth of food in the warehouse where the pest control services is provided by Fly-Away had been destroyed by pest damage last month, while only $10,000 worth of food had been destroyed where the pest control services is provided by Buzzoff at the same time. The argument, however, is rife with a series of assumptions, and thus, is wholly unpersuasive.

Firstly, it is unfair to infer based solely on the comparison between the worth of food destroyed by pest damage that Buzzoff does better work than Fly-Away. The inference relies on the poor assumption that the comparative quality of two company's services, rather than some other phenomenon, was responsible for the comparative economic loss of the two warehouses. Perhaps the poor food packaging at the warehouse in Palm City or the breakout of pest damage at that time was responsible for the loss. For that matter, perhaps the food price at the warehouse in Palm City is higher than that in Wintervale; thus, though the total value of destroyed food is higher, maybe the amount is lower than that in Wintervale. In short, without showing that all other conditions in the two cities have been essential the same, the vice president cannot convince me that quality of the two company's work was responsible for the difference in how much food had been destroyed by the pest damage.

Secondly, the vice president's recommendation rests on the assumption that Buzzoff will do well in the pest control services of all warehouses. But the vice president presents no evidence to support his assumption. Maybe Buzzoff cannot service well at some warehouses where the pest damage is special.

Finally, even if Buzzoff will do well in the pest control services of all the warehouses, in claiming that to return to Buzzoff for all our control services is the best means of saving money the vice president assumes that the company has only two alternatives -- Fly-Away and Buzzoff, and there are no other ways to control pest. In all likelihood, the company can engage one of many other companies instead. To some extent, thus, the vice president recommends Buaaoff over not only Fly-Away but many any other companies, the recommendation is unwarranted. On the other hand, perhaps many other means can solve the pest damage which will cost less money, such as improving the storage facilities.

The paragraph given merely scratches the surface of what must be evaluated about the pest control services in order to saving money. Much more work is needed by the food distribution company before the recommendation is accepted.

331考，AW还没怎么写过，问题最大的是ISSUE。。。根本下不了笔，每次都要先写中文提纲，更别说30min写完了。。。各位版主给点意见吧

竹林中人

这篇写的比较中规中矩，继续坚持，另外如果可能的话，作者可以尝试多写些自己的句子，不要有太多的模仿的痕迹。
关于I，个人觉得，你把题库看完，根据题目的重复压缩后，能写完所有的提纲，然后选择出自己认为值得写的练习十来篇吧，提纲尽快写完，而且最好是英语提纲，然后根据提纲填充完整！加油，写多了自然熟了！
