《稻 香》 词:周杰伦 曲:周杰伦
对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
为什么人要这么的脆弱 堕落
请你打开电视看看
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我们是不是该知足
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑 乡间的歌谣永远的依KAO
回家吧 回到最初的美好
不要这么容易就想放弃 就像我说的
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
为自己的人生鲜艳上色 先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色
笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
童年的纸飞机 现在终于飞回我手里
所谓的那快乐 赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了 谁在偷笑呢
我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了
哦 哦 午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
哦 哦 阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有
还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑

周报
2008-09-25
这一周学校里面在如火如荼地准备着“教育咨询日”的活动,目的类似大陆高考后各个大学会到各个中学去收买人心,“教育咨询日”是poly一年一度的大广告,效果好的话能赚来学生学费无数。
校园里入驻了搭台工人,在各个学院的领地里搭建展台。我们工程学院的展台本来挺好看的,但是居然跟一步之遥的人文学院用了同种设计不同配色方案,真是丢人现眼的。。。有空去照照相,很喜欢看那些展台呢,在大陆好像很少在室外这么搭东西的。
这周测验了好几次,除了414“周经”似的测验还有IT近乎变态的试卷和被我完全忘记了的IT习题课测验。不喜欢414的老师,讲课一点激情都没有,想自控系大多数死老头一样,虽然他才20、30岁。真是郁闷,我这么喜欢的课摊上这么个老师。
gre单词在缓慢地背着,慢得让我觉得考试前能把类反的旧题背完都不太可能。这让人心慌。
刮台风那天煎的牛排好好吃的,可惜害得我下巴长痘痘。昨天晚上12点的时候饿了,怂恿室友煮东西吃,由于她坚持吃汤圆我坚持吃生菜,于是我们就各煮各的了。。。最近喜欢欺负这个小朋友,其乐无穷。
ck说要跟中山大学一起办一个2+2的项目,找我和lx去咨询。随便说了几句换得柠檬茶一杯,还是很合算的事情。可是,平均一年4、5万的学费,现在真有这么多人想到香港读书么?我还是赶紧从这个地方滚蛋吧,过几年这里就会变成普通话的天下了。
我亲爱的老妈要回来了,大半年没见,据说她带了些化石回来-_-! 自从她出国,我跟她的意识形态差得越来越远,不知道还能不能和睦相处呢。。。
后爹怎么样了呢,给他发了短信他没有回。愿主保守他爸爸的平安。

Education is an endless topic that people always spare no effect to find out more and more effective way of education. When it comes to college and university education, one would complain that the way of instruction is too academic and sometimes pales in practicality. Yet, requiring all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world may go to extreme and may not be the best way to improve the quality of instruction.
Admittedly, instruction at the college and university level should focus more on practicality in reason that the purpose of such high-level education is to prepare students with the working skill. Even though a great number of students might continue their study to postgraduate level, practicality is still the most crucial goal of education. Nowadays, many professors in college or university emphasize too much on the text book, assignment or examination. After years of teaching in college or university, they are too used to be in “text books world”. For example, I was asked to do my C++ project with MFC but actually, seldom people in software industry use MFC to do any project. However, my professor insists the out-of-day method.
However, requiring all faculty spend time working outside the academic may go to extreme. As long as those out-of-day professors are nonmainstream, it is a waste of time for the other professors to do so. Since they are required to spend time in other companies, they must spend less time in courses they teach which do harm for college and university education. What is more, after spending time in professions outside the academic world, the professors may prefer to stay in there rather than go back to university which will cost the college or university a great deal.
In order to improve the quality of instruction, there are many choices besides asking faculty to work outside academic world. The colleges and universities could improve the communication between each other. Learning experience from others may be a more effective way. In addition, college and university can establish connections with companies—for example carrying out project with companies, have students interned in those companies and so forth.
In sum, the speaker stands on the same side that instruction at the college and university level should be improved in practical way. However, there are better choices than requiring all faculty to spend time working outside the academic world—after all, which may bring more harm than benefit to the instruction.

185."Scandals—whether in politics, academia, or other areas—can be useful. They focus our attention on problems in ways that no speaker or reformer ever could." ——因果
绯闻好么?就算吸引了人们的注意就=useful了么?带给当事者多么大的损失啊
Public show more interest in scandals than any other things. Hence, one would claim that scandals can be useful because of the efficiency of drawing public’s attention. Yet, when it comes to the bad influence of scandals, I take exception to the speaker’s positive attitude towards scandals.
It is true that scandals can draw public’s attention in short time and be more effective than any other ways in reason that people tend to enjoy the feeling of reading famous people’s scandals. The reason for that may involve complex social and psychological problems each beyond the topic of this issue but conmen sense informs me that scandals never fails to make anybody famous. Years ago, few people were aware of Huang Shengyi—a singer from Hong Kong. After a few pieces of news that she had drug problems, Huang Shengyi’s name was known by young and old alike. No body would overlook the influence of scandals.
However, the influence of scandals may be far more than drawing people’s attention. Countless people were ruined reputation because of the negative news, or scandals of them. This negative influence, in worst situation, may destroy a person’s future. In my opinion, Clinton is one of the best presidents in American history and his attribution in American’s economic can never be forgotten. However, after his sexy scandals, few and few people supported him and he fell into the endless troubles of being questioned by judge and public alike. Such example is not exception in history and countless victims can be mentioned.
As to the whole society, even though scandals focus public’s attention, whether can they be focused in the positive way is questionable too. When it comes to some government decisions, scandals may cause the public losing faith in the government forever. Reputation is difficult to establish but easy to destroy. Once the public listen to the scandals and do not believe in the government any more, the whole society will be out of control and in dangerous. Few would forget the year when SARS came, scandals of government flew everywhere. People refused to listened to the government’s advise and the society became a mass.
In sum, the speaker stand on the correct side that scandals can draw public’s attention with high efficiency. However, the speaker overlooks the negative influence that scandals bring to the individuals and the society.

argument 16 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-31
The author recommends that in order to attract new professors, Pierce University should provide employment to the spouse of each new faculty member. To support the recommendation, the author cites some studies’ results. However, I find the argument specious on some grounds.
First, the author fails to provide any evidence that the study’s results are representative of professors in Pierce University. Since the studies are conducted by Bronston College, the result may not be representative of the professors employed by Pierce University. It is entirely possible that only professors in Bronston College are happier when their spouses are also employed there. Lacking evidence of sufficiently representative of the study’s result, the author cannot rely on the study to draw any conclusion so what ever.
Second, no evidence proves that professors will be more likely to accept offers because their spouses are hired by Pierce University too. Perhaps they are more willing to get a high-paid job. Or perhaps they need comfortable environment to work in. The author cannot convince me if he/she fails to provide any direct evidence that whether the professors’ spouses work in the same town is the main fact when they consider to accept offers or not.
Finally, the author unfairly concludes that the money invested in the effort of offering employment to the spouse of new professors will clearly be well spent. Yet, it is possible that the cost is far beyond Pierce University can afford. Or it is possible that the spouses do not want to accept the job offered by Pierce University. If either scenario is true, this approach is a heavy load for Pierce University and may be little effect.
In sum, the author fails to prove that the new professors in Pierce University will be more likely to accept offers if their spouses are offered jobs too. To better assess the conclusion, the author should also prove that Pierce University can provide employments to all the spouses and the spouses are willing to accept the employments.

ARGUMENT 15 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-30
The author recommends that increased levels of melatonin before birth cause shyness during infancy and this shyness continues into later life. To support the recommendation, the author cites a follow-up study of 25 infants. However, I find the argument specious on several grounds.
First, the author fails to prove any evidence that the follow-up study is statistically reliable. Whether the 25 infants were representative of overall infants in unknown from the author’s describe. Conmen sense informs me that 25 infants is a quite small size of sample which cannot support any reliable conclusion.
Second, even though the 25 infants can be representative overall infants, it may not be necessary melatonin that makes them feel distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli. The author assumes melatonin to be the fact which leads to the infants sensitive of stimuli basing on the reason that these infants were more likely to be conceived in early autumn—the same time when their mothers’ production of melatonin. These two things may just happen to be on the same time and have no interrelation at all. The author cannot convince me if he/she does not provide any further evidence of the interrelation between melatonin and infants’ sensitive of stimuli.
Finally, even though the infants feel distress when exposed to unfamiliar stimuli because of melatonin, the author unfairly concludes that these infants’ shyness continues into later life. The author’s conclusion based merely on that half of these children-now teenagers-identified themselves as shy. Yet, their identifying themselves as shy does not surely equal to they are shy. It is possible that they actually are normal children who are not shyer than any other. The author cannot confidently go to the conclusion without ruling this possibility.
In sum, the author should provide more evidences that the 25 infants can represent overall infants and melatonin is the reason for them to be shy. To better assess the conclusion, the author should prove that when those infants grow up they are actually shyer than the infants who were born in other seasons.

People tend to have critical attitude towards new created work. Not only expert will give critical judgment of work in the field they are in, but also public will do so even though they may not be aware of the certain field. However, does the judgment from people who have no idea of the field have no merit at all? I take exception with this view.
Admittedly, experts are the people who are more justifiable than others to give critical judgment of work in their studying field. With their long-term gained knowledge, the experts’ opinion is persuadable and valuable. On the other hand, people who are lack of such specialized knowledge may give critical judgment unfairly. When the first train came out, it lost in speed compared with horse. Many people laughed at this new invention and considered it as something useless. Yet, scientists from then on never stop improving trains and finally trains became how they work today. No people would laugh that train is useless invention any more.
However, judgments from public do not have little value. As we can see, experts may go to extreme when they focus on certain field and opinions from people who do not in that field may sometimes give experts inspire. When experts in NASA were trying to find a “space pen” which can be used in environment with no gravity, they received a letter from a little boy who complained that experts were silly because they never thought about simply using pencil in space. Problem that disturbed informed experts was solved by a little boy! Hence, judgments from people who are not experts from the certain field cannot be overlooked.
In addition, some of the products are supposed for commercial use and the opinions from people who are not experts, actually who will buy the products, are considerably essential. This is the reason why most of the companies take the complaining from their customs so serious. Another example which can aptly illustrate the opinion is that audiences are not experts in movies, but movie makers never fail to pander the audiences’ need. If the movie makers regard audiences’ critical judgments as air and keep on making the same movie which was not accepted by audiences, the movie maker will no longer find money to continue his/her work.
In sum, I believe that judgments from public do have merit sometimes ever though the people are not experts in a given field. There is an old saying in China that three idiots are better than one talent man—judgments from people who are not experts cannot be overlooked.
我好好好感动!!!!这篇文章以前没有写过,但是半小时就写好了,然后用了15分钟改了错误还加了一个例子。
一共是435个字,虽然不是很多,不过已经是质的飞跃了T_T 希望考试的时候也能碰到这么顺手的题目。
存在的问题是会写到一半发现一些单词不会拼然后卡在那边动不了。
还有就是因为用word写的,有语法、拼写纠错,所以有点依赖word的感觉,下篇开始用notepad写吧。

“Nothing can prove it! You should just believe in me!” Cathy said so in my favorite film PROOF.
How should people live—be objective or subjective? Opinions may divide on this lasting debate. On one hand, people consider that by reasoning and logical thinking scientists bring about countless inventions which advance people’s lives. On the other hand, one no can dispute that human being cannot live without emotion. From my point of view, both intelligence and emotion play essential roles in people’s daily life and the one who are lack of either will definitely lead an unfortunate life.
It is true that people benefits a great deal from intelligence. By reasoning and logical thinking, scientists invent countless inventions and doctors save countless people. It is necessary and justifiable for educational systems emphasize the development of students’ capacity for reasoning and logical thinking. Newton asked why the apple fell from the tree can discover one of the most important principles in physics.
However, exploring one’s own emotion will never pale in importance compared with intelligence. Those charming ideas of artists come from their sensitive thinking—no poet can write the beautiful lines without emotion, no musicians can create the graceful tune without emotion and no writer can writer the imaginative fiction without emotion. In addition, scientists need to have passion with their field of study too. Not did Bell have the desire to find a way to teach deaf people, he would have not invented the education system for people who can not hear.
The one who have only intelligence but fail to explore his/her own emotion will lead unhappiness life and the achievements of his/hers will also be limited. Similarly, the people who are sentimentalist may cry the whole day for the sun rise or something like that and nobody will accept these people with pleasure.
In sum, both intelligence and emotion are important when it comes to education. In my view of opinion, an effective education system should help students to develop both the capacity for reasoning, logical thinking and exploring their own emotions.
这篇作文跟题目的关系好像远了点,题目说教育对理性和感性的强调,我在讨论理性感性对人们生活的影响。其实只要加一些关键句,比如:It is true that people will never too emphasize when it comes to education...However, develop students' capacity for exploring their own emotions is also important...
反正用来用去的词就那么几个,我也就认了那么低分的水平吧。

The leaders, who are expected to make the team they lead develop and to become a better one, should have certain kinds of capabilities, called leadership, which includes the ability to remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives. Yet, this does not mean that our leaders should overlook other people’s justifiable voices. In my point of view, an effective leader should be aware of make a balance between his/her belief and popular opinion.
An essential reason for which leaders should remain consistently committed to particular principles and objectives is that only by holding particular principles can the leaders be just and win others’ respects. If a leader always change his/her standard because of the influence of others, he/she may tend to treat the similar situations different which is likely to cause dissatisfy. For example, one of the colleague in an office played computer games during office hour and the boss of the office gave him punishment. Yet, after punish the colleague, the boss was regarded of that and the next time other colleague did the same thing during office hour but the boss kept silence about it. However, the first colleague will definitely feel unfair to him and he may lose faith in the boss.
Coincident with the speaker that the ability to remain objectives is essential quality of an effective leader, I find that this point is actually the duty of a leader. A team may be formed of various people who have divided interests and objectives, but the team would be effective when and only when all members of it act as one. The leader should act as the spirit of the team and hold the objectives of the team from beginning to end and during which somebody may shake, somebody may be out, and somebody may be against the original objectives, but the leader must be stick to the objectives.
On the other hand, it does not say that the leader should overlook other people’s justifiable voices. The popular opinions may have considerable merit and they may remind the leader with aspects which he/she may not think of. Conmen sense informs me that the leaders who fail to listen to others’ opinion is more likely be replaced by others.
In sum, as a point of leadership, remaining consistently committed to particular principles and objectives is essential. However, listening to others’ opinion is not pale in importance compared with it. To be an effective leader, one should find a balance between both aspects.

ARGUMENT 14 - [ARGUMENT]

The author recommends that all teachers should assign homework no more than twice a week. To support the recommendation, the author cites a survey about the relationship between homework and grades in Marlee and Sanlee. However, I find the argument specious on several grounds.
First, the author’s conclusion that schools should assign less homework based the fact than while more teachers in Sanlee reported assigning more homework than Marlee did, the students in Marlee earn better grades overall and are less likely to be required to repeat a year of school than are the students in Sanlee. Yet, this may be justifiably support the conclusion. It is possible that teachers in Marlee give higher grades to students than teachers in Sanlee do. And it is possible that the disciplines of repeating in two areas are different which lead to more students in Sanlee repeat a year of school. Without ruling out these possibilities, the author cannot convince me with the conclusion.
Second, the author fails to provide any condition of the teachers’ and students’ capabilities in two areas. Perhaps teachers in Marlee are better in teaching than teachers in Sanlee and students in Marlee are smarter than students in Sanlee. If it is true, students in Marlee may be able to learn more in class so they do not need so much homework as students in Sanlee do. The author cannot draw the conclusion confidently if he/she does not take this possibility into consideration.
Finally, even though the school in above two areas owns the same education system and both the teachers and the students have the same capabilities, the author cannot draw the conclusion because the survey involves only math and science. It is possible than math and science do not need that much homework but other subjects—for example English writing—do need. The author overlooks the difference between each subject which makes the conclusion less reliable.
In sum, the author should provide evidence that both the education system and teachers and students capabilities in the two areas are similar. Otherwise, the comparison between the two areas is meaningless. To better assess the conclusion, the author should cite evidence that other subjects besides math and science share the same situation.

ARGUMENT 13 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-29
The author recommends that women and men use be given different painkiller and researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women. To support the recommendation, the author cites a report which suggests that the different feelings men and women had after they were given kappa opioids. However, I find the argument specious on several grounds. First, the study is about having wisdom teeth extracted which may not be representative all kind of pains—for example, pains when people have their leg broken. It is possible that women feel less hurt than men do when they have their wisdom teeth extracted. Without ruling out this possibility, the author cannot convince me with the conclusion. Second, the author provides no evidence that the report is statistically reliable. Only 28 men and 20 women are involved in the study, and whether they were representative the overall population is unknown. Perhaps the physical conditions of these people are different from one to another and it happens that these 28 men are weaker than these 20 women and the 28 men tend to feel pain. Lacking evidence of a sufficiently representative sample, the author cannot justifiably rely on the report to draw any conclusion what so ever. Finally, even though women and men have different feelings of pain, it is not necessarily means that researchers should reevaluate the effects of all medications on men versus women. No evidence is provided to prove that kappa opioids is entirely useless for men. Painkiller is prescribed for human to feel better and as long as patients feel less pain than they do not have painkiller people do not know whether a certain medications is more suitable for women or men. In sum, the author should provide evidences that the pain of having wisdom teeth extracted can be representative of all kind of pains and the 48 people involved in the study are representative overall population. To better assess the conclusion, the author should point out the necessity of reevaluating the effects of all medications on men versus women.

The way people look can reveals their inside world in some level. People may hide their inside world from others around them, but their attitude and interests decide their taste which reflects in the way they look, dress, and act. However, each person is a small cell of our society—which is more than the sum of every cell. The study of any society is a complex, long-term work. Any one who wants to observe a society objectively should study far more aspects besides the appearance and behavior of its people.
It is true that people with the similar attitudes and interests are likely to dress or act similarly. The appearance of people is a mirror which can reflect the inside word of them—although people tend to hide that world. Those traditional women would never wear mini-skirts; on the other hand, it is hard fashionable young ladies to wear those out of day grey suits. One example may prove this point of view: experienced lawyer pick up the juries from the way they dress—after all, the lawyers will not do so if this way does not work.
However, valuing a person just from what clothes he/she wears may lead to misunderstanding or discrimination. People tend to favor those colleagues with famous brand clothes in nowadays office. Yet, the way people look, dress and act are only one aspect of them. Hence, it is unfair to define a person simply from their outlooks. We feel uncomfortable when we entering a shop, the seller take a look at our Levi’s and treat us like air. As the old saying goes—beauty is but skin deep, what’s more important than observing one’s appearance is to know about his/her feelings.
If observing a person from his/her appearance may lead to misunderstand, what about observing a society which is more complex than a person? In order to study a society, people should take the history, culture and so forth into consideration. Any conclusion which comes from a single aspect of the society is unreliable.
The appearance of people is only for reference when we try to understand someone. When it comes to understand a society, there are more things we can do besides observing how people in it look, dress and act.
本来系主任说可以让我用boarding的方法转学分的,但是昨天系办老师打电话,让我去填subject to subject的表,还要把那些该死的大纲一条条划出来,于是我花了一个上午的宝贵时间去研究elemary matrices之类的名词是什么东西。
填表的时候,听到系办的老师在那边嘀咕说不知道系主任搞什么名堂,明明不是自己学校的学生怎么可以用boarding transfer。另一个老师说CK很喜欢这个学生,非要这么弄的。继续偷听,还说什么不照规定办事的话ck得一个人背责任什么的。
原来香港人也有很三八的时候,叹息之余又觉得应该夹着尾巴做人。既然系办的老师觉得CK偏向我,那应该不是什么值得高兴的事情。填完那一沓复杂的表格,我一个劲儿地感谢那老师,一个劲儿说麻烦了。。。

ARGUMENT 12 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-28
The author recommends that the government should concentrate less on encouraging people to wear helmets in order to reduce the number of serious injuries. To support the recommendation, the author cites two studies to show that the number of accidents caused by bicycling has increased while more people today wear helmets. However, I find the argument specious on several grounds.
First, the author unfairly asserts that the increasing number of accidents is the result of people who wear helmets feel safer and take more risks. Yet, it is quite possible that the increment lies to the increasing population. If the number of people who ride bicycle has increased 400 percent, the number of accidents increasing just 200 percent is not so serious. Without ruling out this possibility, the author cannot convince me with the conclusion.
Second, the author fails to provide any detail of the people who had accidents. Perhaps they are the people who do not wear helmets. In that case, the explanation that people who wear helmets feel safer and will take more risks is not reliable. In addition, no evidence shows that people who wear helmets are more willing to take risks than people who do not wear helmets. The author’s assertion is not justifiable if such evidence is absented.
Finally, even though wearing helmets makes people take more risks and leads to the increment in accidence, the government should still encourage people to wear helmets. Conmen sense informs me that as long as people wear helmets, they will hurt themselves less seriously when accidences happen. In short, the author overlooks the protection of the helmets and unfairly concludes that helmets are pale in importance.
In sum, the author should take other possible facts which cause accidences into consideration. Besides, evidences about whether the people who had accidence wear helmets and whether the people feel safer when they wear helmets should be provided to make the recommendation more reliable. What is more, the author should not overlook the protection helmets provide for people.

Why do the nonmainstream areas play a vital role in our society while mainstream science is becoming more and more advanced today? It might be tempting to agree with the speaker’s explanation about this phenomenon—such nonmainstream areas satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. However, the speaker overlooks certain other societal reasons that make nonmainstream areas are able to survive.
I agree with the speaker on the point of view that mainstream science may sometimes not be able to satisfy human needs. Admittedly, there are times when people turn to nonmainstream areas in reason that mainstream science fails to meet their needs—for example, a lady who cannot wait to be married after trying every “effective” way to be charming but still be single would be likely to ask a fortune-teller. However, based on my observation, people who believe in nonmainstream areas do so not only because mainstream science cannot satisfy them, but also for the reason that nonmainsteam areas sometimes turn to be justifiable. Still take the lady to be an example: maybe the fortune-teller just guest that the lady will be married next year, and it happened to come true. The lady will definitely become a big fan of fortune-telling and will tell all of her friends that nonmainstream area works.
In addition, the attribution that nonmainstream areas make to films, nobles, plays and so forth cannot be overlooked. No one can dispute that nonmainstream areas play important role in our society in ways that it stimulates the development of art industry. The best-seller—Harry Potter, the latest movie Spider Man, and the countless fictions are all examples that nonmainstream areas give idea to our artist. On the other hand, once the readers or audiences are appealed by those books or movies, they are likely become supporters of nonmainstream areas—which I believe is the most important reason for nonmainstream areas to survive in society today.
Last but not the least, historical reasons lead to the believing in nonmainstream areas. Once upon the time, when science was not as advanced as it is now, the nonmainstream areas were “mainstream” way to explain the non-known object for human being. Even though we have scientific way to do so, the belief of nonmainstream areas is left in some people’s mind. Some village in south China sill use tea to see whether flood will come while they can simply refer to weather broadcast.
In the final analyses, satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science is, but is not the only reason for nonmainstream areas playing a vital role in society. People believe in nonmainsteam areas may because of random, the influence of fictions and films or historical reasons.

ARGUMENT 10 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-27
The vice president recommends that Climpson should installing software to detect employees’ Internet use in order to improve overall profits. However, I find the recommendation is not as convincible as it stands.
First, the vice president unfairly assumes that installing software will prevent employees from wasting time. Even though the employees will spend less time on personal affairs like online shopping on the Internet, the author cannot confidently infers that their efficiency will rise. It is possible that the employees will turn to other ways of dueling personal affairs—for example go out shopping without being noticed by the boss. Without ruling out such possibilities, the author cannot convince me that employees will waste less time because of the software.
Second, the author fails to provide any evidence that the employees have low efficiency now. It is possible that they handle their work quite well and a little time spending on personal affairs will not affect their work. Conmen sense informs me that once the employees feel that their privacy are not respected they tend to have negative attitude towards their work—which, of cause, will do harm for the efficiency. In sum, the vice president overlooks the possibility the bad influence of the software.
Finally, even though the software reduces time wasting on employees’ personal affairs and so it improves their working efficiency, the vice president’s assertion that it will improve the company’s overall profits is unjustifiable. Perhaps the software costs a large sum of money or perhaps the software slow down the speed of all the computers. Without take the cost into consideration, the author cannot go to the conclusion that the software will improve profits.
In sum, the author overlooks the negative influence and the cost of the software. To better assess the conclusion, the author should provide the employees’ working efficiency now and a cost analysis of the software.

ARGUMENT 9 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-26
The author recommends that people should worry more about getting too much sleep than too little. To support this conclusion, the author cites a study of adult sleeping habits. In addition, a comparison is given between people who sleep different hours. However, I find the argument specious on several grounds.
The author fails to give any detail about the six-year study. First, how was the study carried out? It is entirely possible that the method of the study is unreliable. Without producing the detail of the study, the author cannot convince me with the assertion.
Second, who has been studied? How many people have been studied? Without mentioning whether those people were representative of the overall population, the author is impossible to confidently apply the study’s result to the conclusion.
Third, even though the result of the study is reliable, the author’s assertion that people should try to get seven hours of sleep is unjustifiable. Although people who reported sleeping eight or more hours a night had a higher rate of certain health problems than did those who reported sleeping seven hours a night, no evidence indicates that sleeping seven hours is the best choice. I do not know how the author comes to this conclusion.
Finally, while people who sleep five hours a night have smaller increment than people who sleep 8 hours, the author unfairly concludes that people should worry more about getting too much sleep than too little. Perhaps that due to some disturbing factors people who sleep five hours having smaller increment is just an exception, and generally the people who over sleep are healthier than people who sleep too much.
In sum, to better support the argument, the author should provide details about the study—including the method of the study, the people involved in the study and so forth. In addition, the author should cite more data which can support that sleeping seven hours is the best choice and people should care about sleep too much than too little to convince me with his/her conclusion.

ARGUMENT 8 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-26
The author recommends that in order to increase its alumni donations, Appleby should have each graduating class hold annual reunions. To support this conclusion, the author cites Edelston College’s annual reunions and donating money as evidence. However, I find this argument specious on several grounds.
First, the author assumes that Edelston College’s alumni donate more money to their college than Appleby’s alumni basing on the fact that Edelston College receives most of its alumni donations during or shortly after these reunions. Yet, no evidence has been provided to show that Appleby’s alumni donate less money that Edelston’s alumni do. It is quite possible that Edelston’s alumni give out very little money each year, even though they donate frequently. And while Appleby’s alumni donating only once in five years, they give out large sum of money. The author cannot convince me without reliable evidence which can prove that Appleby’s alumni donate less money that Edelston’s alumni do.
Second, even though Appleby’s alumni donate less money, the author unfairly infers that by having graduating class hold annual reunions Appleby will gain more donations. The author cannot confidently go to the conclusion without giving the alumni’s financial situation. Perhaps, the alumni of Appleby earn less money than Edelston’s alumni. Accordingly, it is impossible for the Appleby’s alumni to donate as much as edelston’s alumni.
Third, the author overlooks the cost of holding reunions. If annual reunions spend more money than the alumni’s donations, it is meaningless to hold reunions so often. In addition, it is entirely possible that the Appleby’s alumni work in different part of the world and they could not manage to get together annually. Perhaps, it will be much less people to attend and that’s a waste of money to hold annual reunions.
In sum, to better assess the conclusion, the author should provide evidence that Edelston’s alumni donates more money than Appleby’s alumni. In addition, I should know the financial situation of Appleby’s alumni and the possibility for them to attend annual reunions.

Although there are several ways to explain the word “socialize”, I believe the speaker means that children begin to realize they are social animal and try to take part in social activities—for example, play with other children. Based on above understanding, I agree with the speaker on the view that the destiny of society is depended on children’s socialization. However, I take exception on the point that we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society.
From the opinion of most socialist, children’s socialization in divided into positive one and negative one.
Positive socialization of children gives benefits to our future society. Positively socialized children learn how to get along well with others, how to treat other with respect and to confirm standards of good behavior which will become virtues and win people’s respect when the children grow up. Few can dispute the fact that a society filled with these virtues must be a good one which characterized by tolerance of differing viewpoints and people who are different from us, respect for individual rights, and cooperation across cultural and national boundaries.
On the other hand, negative socialization of children do harm for the future society. With the development of our society, children receive more negative influence from the outside world than they use to do. Drug abuse. Alcohol abuse. Tobacco use. Profanity. Promiscuous sex. Other anti-society behavior. When those become one part of the children’s life, we should take into consideration that the security of our future society. It has been proved that majority of crime is committed by those coming from families that overlook the importance of children education which, of course, leads to questionable socialization of the children.
However, I cannot agree with the left of the speaker—we have not yet learned now to raise children who can help bring about a better society. Admittedly, the point of view justifiably emphasizes the importance of home school when it comes to children’s socialization and I entirely agree with that. Yet, from my observation, today’s world has much less discrimination and is more sensitive than before; people are more willing to give help to those less fortunate than ourselves. After all, the society is becoming better and better regardless of the parents’ wish of raising a child to bring about a better society.
In sum, while the speaker stands on the right side of that children’s socialization contributes to the future society, it begs the question that our society is becoming better and better regardless of people’s lacking idea about raising a hero.
想发到寄托去讨论的,嫌太麻烦了。
本来也没有什么思路,用google搜了一下,搜到的文章几乎都在讨论教育对儿童的影响。因此我觉得所谓的socialize,指的是儿童逐步摆脱“自我”的概念,从而能够站在他人的角度理解这个世界,学会体会、参与社会活动。
我记得孔庆东有篇文章里面提到:
我问儿子:“你是谁?”
他回答:“我是你的儿子”
我又问他:“她是谁”(指着他奶奶)
他对我说:“她是你的妈妈”
呵呵,我觉得该送儿子去上小学了。他已经学会了站在他人角度思考问题。
我认为这段话是对socialize的最好理解。
看了网上几乎所有的提纲,把socialize这个词生硬地翻译成“社会化”。有的人认为社会化指的是儿童跟其他儿童玩,有的人认为指的是儿童在学校学习到了合作;我觉得这些都是对题目的错误理解。
有篇文章甚至错误地说——socielization只是令伟人伟大的一个很小的因素,比如Martin Luther King,他的成就很大程度来源于家庭教育。
至于题目的后半段——没有人知道如何把孩子培养成一个能创造更好的社会的牛人
写的时候我批判了这种观点,批判的立足点是——社会总是在进步、变得越来越好,跟家长的意愿无关。
现在想想,题目并没有说社会变得越来越糟啊。还好是ISSUE,只要提出了自己观点就行了,虽然有些逻辑漏洞。。。下次再写应该怎么写呢?我觉得我会同意这种观点,因为的确没有人知道要怎么培养一个英雄出来,英雄的出现是天时地利人和的偶然。小时候socielization的好坏只是一个必要不充分的条件——也就是说虽然一个品行雅正的人未必能为我们创造出一个更好的社会,但是一个吸毒、犯罪的问题少年一定不会有什么大的成就(如果他保持吸毒、犯罪的话)。
总结一下我这篇文章的思路:
儿童的socialization决定了未来社会的命运,而我们的社会不会因为家长是否掌握了培养伟人的窍门而突飞猛进或停滞不前
1. 积极的socialization对我们未来的社会有益
2. 消极的socialization对我们未来的社会有害
3. 但是,我们的社会总是在发展的,于家长是否掌握了培养伟人的窍门无关
最后我想说这个话题好难写,用中文思考我都觉得自己不断在陷入循环论证。完全可以写成社会学paper的一个话题,怎么会拿来考试啊。。。天啊。。。
记得经常听到网友说,攻其十指不如断其一指,得想想如何从一个小一点的方面入手讨论才行。sigh

Who can decide the greatness of individuals—those who live after them or their contemporaries? While is seems that the offspring is more objective to value the famous few in some areas of human endeavor—especially including art and politics—I take exception when it comes to the scientific inventors.
Time seems clearly to be the litmus test for any art achivement. People tends to be more critical when they talk about new-born artists or styles of art in the reason that the artist’s thought is oftern too vanward for people at large to understand. However, with the development of society, the public gradually learn how to appreciate the artists who they used to look down upon. Monet would be the best example to explain this odd situation. When his first painting of impressionist came out, people who had long been interest in realism gave Monet unjustifiable comments. Nevertheless, today, Monet’s works are exhibited in Met, enjoying coutless appreciation from people.
Politics is the most complex game in the world. Partly coincident with the speaker on the view that the greatness of individuals can be decided by those who live after them, I strongly agree with that when it comes to political leaders. Lacking understanding of the political motives and methods, public misunderstand their leaders from time to time, which makes it unjustifiable to decided the greatness of leaders by their contemporaries; after all, the benefit or harm of a certain government’s strategies may reveal long after it has been carried out. Alaska gives the best example of benefit while “Star Wars” seems bright more harm than benefit.
On the other hand, scientist never fail to win respect of their accomplishment. Obviously, it is much easier for one to decide whether an invention is valuable or not. For example, soon after Bell invented his telephone—a new way to communicate, it spread thoughout America and then thoughout the whole world quickly. As long as people tried to use telephone, as long as they realised how convenient telephone is, they decided that Bell changed the history of communication. That’s why I concede that it is proper for contemporaries to decide the greatness of individuals.
In sum, the achivements of individuals should be diceded by those who live after them in areas of art, politics and so forth. However, contemporaries are reasonable to decide scientists whose accomplishments are more clearly to be valued.
在国母惊悚的歌声中,完成了这篇ISSUE。如果说开幕式还能看到一些惊喜的话,闭幕式彻彻底底回归中国式的虚假。三个老外二了吧唧地原地转圈,听着起鸡皮的煽情朗诵,之类的云云。
来自伦敦的表演比较有趣,喜欢情景剧一样的表演,喜欢那个会变身的巴士,喜欢小贝,呵呵。。。
言归正传,反思:
今天的思路基本是自己的,看到题目后觉得可以模仿谋篇范文以学科来分类讨论,于是就有了以下三个分论点:
1. 对艺术的评价需要时间的考验,因为常人常常不能理解艺术家的境界。(例子:莫奈及其印象派风格)
2. 对政治的评价需要时间的考验,因为很多政策的效果并非立竿见影的。(短例子:阿拉斯加和星球大战)
3. 对科学成就的评价可以由当代人来完成,因为一样发明好不好几乎可以立刻看出来。(例子:贝尔发明的电话立刻就广泛传播了)
这篇文章模仿的痕迹还是很重,因为结构上与某篇范文相似,很多句子几乎照抄。
还有的问题就是语言重复太过严重,然而我始终想不出几个字能够替代 those who live after them 之类在题目中出现的词。因为词汇量少吧,真的不知道怎么能够避免大片重复。
优点是例子的重复利用,莫奈的例子还有贝尔的例子又用了一次,这是当年高考的时候老师总结的:如果一个事例你能从多角度看的话,你就掌握了多个事例。嗯嗯,很自恋的表扬一下自己。
一整天都是很不安的,真的不知道如果明天不顺利的话我是否还能承受打击了。god bless me... although I am not yet your daughter....

argument 7 - [ARGUMENT]
2008-08-24
The author recommends that people who are at risk of having a geart attack can lower that risk by not overeating. To justify the conclusion, a resault of a survey is cited. The author then points out that eating and digesting food releases hormones into the bloodstream and temporarily increases heart rate and blood pressure which put stress on the heart. However, I find this argument specious on several grounds.
First, a problem with the argument involves the evidence, that is the survey itself. The letter provides no information about how the survey was conducted. Commen sense informs me that neither 2,000 people nor 158 of them who admitted that they had heavy meal before their heart attack may be not adequate for a study of heart attack. Perhaps while they had heavy meals, some other factors—for example doing sports, or being angry—actually cause these 158 people’s heart attack. Without knowing neither whether the sample of people was representative the overall heart-attacked population, nor the size of the sample, it is impossible to confidently conclude that overeating causes heart attack..
Second, the author points out that eating digesting food releasing hormones into the bloodstream and increases heart rate and blood pressure which put stress on the heart. However, the author fails to provide any evidence on this assertion. Even if overeating put stress on the heart, it is not necessarily mean that strees on the heart is equal to heart attack. Without convincing evidence on this point, the author cannot draw any reliable conclusion about the relationship between overeating and heart attack.
Finally, even if overeating increase the possibility of heart attack, it does not necessarily infer that eating less will reduce the possibility. Heart disease has complex reason—such as weather, emotion and so forth. Accordingly, it might lead to worse situation because of hasty advice.
In sum, the author should provide reliable survey result to support his conclusion. Furthermore, evidece is need to prove the relationship between hormones and heart attack. Finally, it would be better to assess the argument if the author show evidence that eating less will result in lower risk of heart attack.

It is the famous few or groups of people whoes names have been forgotten made the most significant events? One may claim that the study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. However, this assertion is unjustifiable; after all, history is created by few when the fact is taken consideration that famous few played the role of leaders pointing direction for others. Further more, in some areas it is exactly the few who create history.
As I see it, neither any significant event nor once revolution can go that far without certain essencial heroes. While the hero is usually supported by the countless other people, these people pales in importance compared to the famous few. For example, there were thousands of angry African-American who were strongly dissatisfied the discremination. Nevertheless, it is Martin Luther King who found a effective way to defend their right—African-American’s right and from than on people were waken up and joined the movement. Admittedy, only the ability of Martin Luther King cannot carry out the whole revolution. But it was his spirit that stimulated others and it was he who found out a path in the darkness. Following his I HAVE A DREAM, thousands of people who did not have dream made the dream came true.
In addition, the point of view that famous few made the history has considerable merit with respect to most areas—art, science and so forth. Few can dispute the fact that the preeminent printings, the graceful tunes, the intelligent inventions in history is created by individuals. These famous few is remembered because of their great accomplishments which cannot be copied by others. In short, we can never put too much emphasis on these famous few.
One example that aptly illustrate above point is Bell and his telecommunication. Bell began his career as an inventor when he was young. Thoughout his life, the most welll-known invention is telephone—a new way to communication. Bell’s telephone quickly spread thoughout the country and latter spread out the whole planet. The invention had significantly changed people’s life—far more efficient communication greatly improved the globle economic. In other word, Bell created a whole new world of communication. Bell’s example is not an exceptional case in history and Ttat’s why I concede that famous few create the history.
In sum, no matter taken revolution or the significant invention into consideration, the famous few played unique role in history. Therefore, we can never cites too much emphasis on them—they deserve so.
这篇文章还是找不到思路,看了别人写的提纲。但是我开始担心会被判雷同了,因为网上的提纲根本都大同小异,自己想又想不到什么新鲜的论点。烦啊。。。
这次中间段还是三段,因为想跟别人提纲有点区别,所以中间第三段是第二段的例证。
中心论点:对于历史中名人的强调一点都不过分
1. 虽然跟广大群众密不可分,但是社会革命的进行是靠个别人的领导的。
(例子:马丁路德金。。。我也知道很土。。。但是暂时想不到更好的。。。就是说愤怒的黑人有很多,但是只有老马想到了切实可行的革命路线,唤醒了广大黑人斗争。由于拙劣的英文表达,例子只是泛泛而谈,我想如果要修改的话应该深入他独一无二的非暴力不合作方针)
2.艺术品和发明确实是个人行为,且这些东西都具有不可复制性
(第三段写了很长的贝尔发明电话的例子,说他开创了交流的新境界,创造了历史)
还有的问题就是,我受托福一边倒的写作思想影响太深,无法摆脱单纯地从一个角度看问题的思路。这对GRE作文非常不利,但是实在没有办法像范文一样辩证地展开论述。有待解决。

The author recommends that Pine City should increase reimbursement to residents for the program of replacing energy-wasteful equipment in order to reduce energy usage to the levels of five years ago. To support this conclusion the author cites the fact that five years ago when spending on the program began to decline, total electricity consumption has increased. Howeve, I find this argument specious on sveral grounds.
First, the author overlook the question that whether there is any energy-wasteful equipment should be replaed. It is entirely possible that all of the Pine City citizens have already replaced their energy-wasteful equipment—in the consideration that the program has already been carry out for more than 10 years. If there is no more equipment need be replaced, increase reimbursement would not help to solve the problem.
Second, the author unfairly conclude that increasing electricity consumption comes from energy-wasteful equipment. Perhaps other factors lead to the situation that the total electricity consumption has increased sharply. Common sense informs me that with the development of the society, many families have far more equipments than ever before—computers, large size TV sets, and so forth—which consume more resources. Without ruling out this possibility, the author can hardly convince me that the program of replacing equipment is effective.
Third, the author infers that if the increased usage continues, the city will have to build a costly new power plant. However, the author fails to provide any evidence about that. It is only mentioned in the argument that the electricity consumption has increased but I have no idea whether this increment beyonds the productivity of current power plant.
Finally, the other problem with the argument is that the reimbursement might exceed the cost of building a new power plant. The author does not cite any financial analysis about that. If this scenario is true, the solusion will be far from “best way”.
In sum, the author overlook the possibility that the problem of electricity consumption increment might caused by other reasons other than energy-wasteful equipment. To better assess the argument the author should provide evidence that electricity consumption increment exceed the productivity of current power plant and cost analysis of building new power plant.

“The words people said about Monet was gone but his works are still there.”--by San Mao.
I strongly agree with the speaker that the artist, instead of critic, gives society something of lasting value. One would argue that this assertion is not fair to some of the critical analysises which are so valuable that still dictact people’s works taday. Admittedly, I can hardly dispute such exception. However, such examples can be overlooked when they are compared with infinite number of those artists with everlasting works.
As I see it, any piece of music reflect the inside world of the musician which may beyond the understanding of others. No matter how informed the critic is, there must be something that he or she did not experience but the artist did—maybe the lonely childrenhood, or sorrow of losing parents. Obviously, all of this experience shape an artist’s special way to observe the world, the beauty, the truth and so forth. For example, Lacrimansa is a famous rock band which appeals many fans who enjoy Gothic music because of the graceful tune. The singer of the band comes from a single family. However, the songs of Lacrimansa comfort thousands of lonely teenager while they are considered “noise” as some of the criticts said. In short, the critict may not be aware of the artist’ purpose of creating. Nevertheless, it is the feeling which they cannot appreciate makes the lasting and valuable works.
Another reason why I essentially agree with the speaker is that in retrospect, many artists and their art works which once were said to be unvalued by cristicts turn out to be preeminent. Time seems clearly to be the litmus test for truth. When it comes to this point of view, an artist has to be mentioned—Monet—one of the most outstanding artists in 19’s. When his printing Sunrise came out, little praise had it received. Critics even refused to accept it as an art work. Unfortunately, they are wrong. Today, Sunrise is exhibited in Met and enjoy thousands of people who appreciate it.
On the other hand, critic’s view sometimes helps people to admire art works. In some sense, critical analysises improve art works towards possitive direction. However, hardly could anyone conclude from it that critic create lasting work of art for our society.
In sum, critic may advance art creation, but it is artist who creat something with everlasting value. While some critics are artists at the meantime, their identities of artists gives our society great art as the bottom.
反思:
这篇写得好辛苦。。。题材是最难写的艺术类
自己几乎找不到思路,看了别人的提纲但是又很疑惑,觉得那些提纲好像跟题目没啥关系啊T_T
最后写的观点是几乎完全赞成
分论一:艺术家创作出了很有价值的作品,但是评论家并不能理解其价值(Gothic music)
分论二:经过时间证明,很多艺术家的作品都是很有价值的尽管当时的评论家对其嗤之以鼻(Monet's Sunrise)
分论三:评论家对艺术的确也有促进,但不能说是评论家创造了有价值的艺术品

I agree with the speaker that educator should take interests of individual student into consideration. However, the speaker goes to extream that only when education is specifically designed to meet the needs of each student will it be effective. My points of contention with the speaker involve the practicality and reality of education, as discussed below.
I concede that the speaker is on the correct philosophical side of this issue. After all, each student has his own talent and interest which lead he perform preeminent in one or two subjects—even if he does so poor in others. Educators should discover with great patience their students’ potential and make them developt. By specifical study, students are able to focus on pursuing the goals which the children set for themselves. In addition, they get rid of wasting of time on subjects that they are totally disinterested in.
However, when it comes to practicality of education I have to mention my first point of contention with the speaker, who cailm that it is education should be designed specifically for every student. It is far beyoud our ability to specifically design every student’s education—it is obviously a great deal of money to substain such an education system which includes much more teachers. Such exorvitant amount of money could go a long way toward addressing other social problems, for example unemployment or pollution, which may be more pressing. Given that limited financial budget in education, specifial education sounds like a dream which will never come true.
The speaker’s assertion is troubling in two other respects as well. First, as they grow up, students’ interests are quite unstable and changeable. Lacking of fundational knowledge, it is impossible for them to take other major. Second, when we take into the purspoe of education into consideration—that is enabling one to survival in the society--some of the students’ interests hardly reach this goal. For example, one of the most famous NBA star Yao, once he talked about that when he was a child he wants to become pilot despite of his 213 cm height. Interest is not the only factor of one to consider his future career.
In sum, the speaker’s assertion is far from practical that education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student. In today’s world, practicality is idol so how can an unpractical assertion be effective?
反思:
写完才发现,受之前一直练的argu影响太深,这篇文章基本写成了argu。
所谓issue,并非让你批判题目中的观点,而是要写出自己的观点。有点想高考时流行的话题作文,只不过题材规定是议论文,不能天马行空地写小说。
那么这样看来,修锐所强调的“四步走”方法确实是能保证issue不跑题的好办法——开头提出自己观点,再将这个中心观点展开成3~4个分论点,每个分论点写一段话。
另外,这篇文章缺少例证,这好像也是ISSUE之大讳,老外讨厌空洞的大道理。以后要多引例子证明我的观点。

In this memo, the president of Cyberell Computer Company argues that only new employees need future retreats and should double the length of the retreats using the reslting savings. To justify this recommendation the president points out that the retreat benefited new employees more than experienced employees. However, this argument relies on several dubious assumptions, and is therefore unpersuasive.
First, the president unfairly concludes that new employees benefited from the retreats while experienced employees didn’t. Perhaps some experienced employees equally and significnetly benefited from the training as the new, but the other experienced employees gain nothing. In addition, common sense infers me that no employee is unneccessary to be retreated. It is entirely possible that these retreats may focus on basic skills which experienced employees have already learned during their yearly work. Either scenario, if true, would seriously undermine the president’s contension that Cyberell should send only new employees to future retreats.
Second, it is unwarranted to conclude that new employees benefited simply from the study that new employees were able to handle an average of ten percent more calls per hour and receive less customer complaints. Maybe it happened that these phone call are easy to handle or the new employees take less patience to do with the phone calls in order to handle more. What’s more, it is quite possible that after the retreats, Cyberell sold less computers than before, which consequently brought less customers to the company. Hence, the total number of customer complaints decreased. Without ruling out these possible explanations, the president cannot convince me that the new employees benefited from the retreats.
Finally, even if the new employees gain great skills during the retreats, it is not necessarydouble the length of the retreats. No evidence show that the longer the retreat is, the better the employees perform.
In sum, the memo is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it, the president must provide evidence that the experienced employees benefited nothing while the new employees improve their working skill significantly from the retreats. In oreder to better evaluate the argument, we would need more information about the relation between the length and the efficiency of the retreat.

In this argument the vice president concludes that in order to increase its profits Dura-Sock should discontinue its use of the ‘Endure’ manufacturing process. To support the assertion, the vice president cites some evidences. However, the argument relies on a series of unsubstantiated assumptions, which render it unconvincing as it stands.
To begin with, the vice president unfairly conclude that the customer disvalue the ‘Endure’ process based on the new study which shows that the average Dura-Sock customer purchases new Dura-Socks every three months. Eventhough the study is reliable it is entirely possible that the customer buy new socks while keep on wearing the old. In addition, the survey that people value Dura-Sock’s stylish appearance and availability in many colors cannot support the conclusion. It is possible that the customer value both the color and the ‘Endure’ process.
What’s more, the survey done in northeastern United States is insuficient to draw any general conclusion about the reason for customer to buy Dura-Sock. Maybe customers in northeastern United States are much more fasionable than people in any other areas. In addition, the vice president dose not mention that the respondents in the suivey sere representative of all customers---including the young and the old, male and female. In short, lacking information that the respondents were representative of all customers in general, the author cannot convince me that the customer do not care about the ‘Endure’ process.
In sum, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the vice president must provide clear evidence that the customers in nation-wide are littler insterested in the ‘Endure’ process.

The author argued here that communities that cannot afford to rid their drinking water of clormium 5 should replace drinking fountains in public buildings in order to prevent allergies and skin rasheds. To suppor this conclusion, the editorial cites some evidence. However, the evidence provides little credible support for the edtorial’s conclusion.
First, it is unfair to conclude that water containing clormium 5 is responsible for the increased incidence of allergies and skin rashes merely based on a preliminary study. The author provides no evidence to substaintiate the relation between water containing clormium 5 and the increase of disease. Perhaps the study overlooks other factors, for example air pollution, which can cause allergies and skin rashes. Or perhaps the study was done in season which people are more likely to get allergies or skin rashes. Without mentioning these possible scenarios, the editorial cannot convince me that water with clormium 5 do harm for people’s health.
Second, the tests of the drinking water in several areas is scant evidence that all communities should prevent allergies and skin rashes. Several areas might not be representative of most communities in general. It is possible that these areas happen to be tested and some geografical reasons contribute to presence of C5 in these areas. In short, without betterevidence that the tests are statistically reliable the editorial cannot rely on it to draw any firm conclusions.
Finally, the editorial conclusion that communities that cannot afford to rid their drinking water of clormium 5 should replace drinking fountains in pubic buildings is unreasonable. It is quite possible that the communities which cannot afford the cost actually do not have the problem of clomium 5. It is unfair to suggest all of the communities either replacing drinking fountains or routine testing and purification. However, the author overlook the possibility that there is no clomium 5 in water in some areas.
In sum, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the editorial must provide clear evidence that clomium 5 is the reason of allergies and skin rasheds. Besides, to better assess the argument it would be useful to know which areas are suffered from clomium 5 and financial condition of these areas.

“In recent years, Liver has unfortunately moved away from its original mission:to publish the works of regional small-town authors instead of those of big-city authors. Just last year, 90 percent of the novels we published were written by authors who maintain a residence in a big city. Although this change must have been intended to increase profits, it has obviously backfired, because Liber is now in serious financial trouble. The only way to address this problem is to return to our original mission. If we return to publishing only the works of regional small-town authors, our financial troubles will soon be resolved.”
The editor concludes that returning to publishing only the works of regional small-town authors will help them to resolve their financial troubles. To support this conclusion the editor cites that 90 percent of the published novels were written by authors who maintain aresidence in a big city while this did not bring profits to Liver because of the serious financial trouble. However, this evidence provides little credible support for the editorial’s conclusion.
First, the argument unfairly assumes that the authors who maintain a residence in a big city means they are not small-town authors. However, this is not necessarily so. Perhaps the authors live in small-town while they maintain a residence in a big city. The larger number of such authors is, the less reliable the argument’s evidence is. Since the argument fails to rule out this and other possibilities, the editor’s conclusion is unwarranted.
Second, the editor provides no assurances that publishing works of big-city authors have anything to do with their serious financial trouble. Common sence informs me that a financial trouble may come from other factors such as poor management or imprudent pricing. Moreover, there is possibility that Liver’s financial trouble is much less serious when it comes to be compared with other publishing company. Without taking these factors into consideration, it is unwarranted to draw the conclusion.
Finally, even if publishing big-city authors’ words brings the financial problem, the editor’s conclusion is unconvincing that if they return to publishing only the works of regional small-town authors, the financial troubles will soon be resolved. It is entirely possible that publishing small-town authors’ works makes things worse. Since the editor fails to give evidence that works of small-town authors will surely resolve the financial trouble, I simply cannot be swayed by the prediction.
In sum, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the editor must provide clear evidence that 90 percent of the published novels were written by big-city authors, and must cites reliable factors that big-city author’s works lead to their financial problem. To better assess the conclusion it would also be necessay to provide evidence that publishing small-town authors’ works can help to solve the financial problem.

Firstly, the speaker provides no assurances that the recently collected data suggesting a correlation between snoring and weight gain are statistically reliable. Fail to rule out the possibility that those who snore do so due to their overweight body. Perhaps it is weight gain causes disease which includes snoring. If so, how can the author rely on such a confusion to reasonably conclude that people who snore are more likely to gain weight than people who do not snore?
Even assuming that snoring causes weight gain, the speaker has not adequately shown that sleep apnea causes weight gain. No evidence shows that people will be too tired to do exercise if they have sleep apnea when they snore. It is entirely possible that snoring people do exercise while they still get weight. Without strong evidence support the assumption that people who snore easily gain weight due to they are lack of energy to do exercise, the speaker can not convince me with that.
Even if many snorers suffer from sleep apnea and tend to gain weight as a result, the speaker’s advice is hardly acceptable. If a person with sleep apnea is too tired to exercise, then simply advising that person to eat less and exercise more begs the question: How can one tired person afford that? Won’t it be better to advice the snorer turn to doctors for stoping snore?
