各位狠拍啊！5.27考g。。作文又是我的弱项。。求指教。。。估计语法错误无数。。。
题目The following appeared in an editorial in a business magazine.
"Although the sales of Whirlwind video games have declined over the past two years, a recent survey of video-game players suggests that this sales trend is about to be reversed. The survey asked video-game players what features they thought were most important in a video game. According to the survey, players prefer games that provide lifelike graphics, which require the most up-to-date computers. Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people ten to twenty-five years old, the age-group most likely to play video games. It follows, then, that the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase dramatically in the next few months."
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 suggested that the sales of whirlwind video games is about to be reserved .To support his opinion, he gave us a survey about what kind of games do players prefer .however ,to convince me ,the author had to provide more evidences because in this argument the author had made several logical mistakes.
Firstly, the author uses a survey to support his argument. He think that according to the survey, the advertising campaign which directed at people 10 to 25 years old will useful because the prefer the games with lifelike graphics. However, he didn’t offer the interviewees’ age. If the survey’s targets are peoples between 25 to 35 or peoples less than 10, the survey can’t act as a proof to sustain the argument. As the author didn’t give the details of the survey, the argument is unconvincing.
Secondly, even if the author’s survey is reliable, the argument is still doubtable. The author claimed that since the players pay more attention on the graphics, so the games of whirlwind will sell better next year. However, the author ignored that the graphics is not the only thing the players need. except graphics ,there are still many characteristics that will influence the players like music ,story ,control and so on .so if the game of whirlwind don’t have all these aspects ,the sales can hardly to be reserved. In order to convince me, the author has to present more information about these games.
Thirdly, even the games of whirlwind are wonderful and players like it very much, it doesn’t mean the sale will be recovery. The quality of games is only part of facts which impact players to buy it. Many other reason can influence the sale .for example ,under the economic crisis ,many people reduce their expenses on entertainment thus they won’t buy the games even if they are attracted by it ,or it is possibility that other game company also discover that players prefer this kind of games and they bring out good graphic games too. All these elements can affect the sales, so only rely on the survey to make the conclusion is insufficient.
To sum up, the conclusion lacks credibility because the evidence cited in the analysis does not lend strong support to what the arguer maintains. To make the argument more convincing, the arguer would have to provide more evidence concerning.作者: okqishi 时间: 2012-5-5 18:59:41
