The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice for a client.

"Most homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last heating season that region experienced 90 days with below-normal temperatures, and climate forecasters predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes are being built in the region in response to recent population growth. Because of these trends, we predict an increased demand for heating oil and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries, one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."

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 and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.

***************************练习-1（碰巧这篇作文我写过）***********************************
题目：

The following appeared in a memo from the director of student housing at Buckingham College.

"To serve the housing needs of our students, Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate. Moreover, the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years. Consequently, students will find it increasingly difficult to afford off-campus housing. Finally, attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham."

要求：
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.


结论：
Buckingham College should build a number of new dormitories.

论据：
1. Buckingham's enrollment is growing and, based on current trends, will double over the next 50 years, thus making existing dormitory space inadequate.
2. the average rent for an apartment in our town has risen in recent years.
3. attractive new dormitories would make prospective students more likely to enroll at Buckingham.



自己写的开头段：

In this argument, the director suggests that Buckingham College should build many new buildings served as students' dormitories in order to meet the housing requirement.（先指出作者的结论） To support his recommendation, the director employs a variety of evidence, including the growing trend of enrollment, increasing rent in the town and probable advantage of new dormitories.（再指出作者运用了哪些证据支持他的结论）

看了老师的入门贴-2之后，发现好像自己这么写就没有办法详细的写主题句了。
