咳咳，大家好啊~这是偶的第一篇发表的习作~~希望大家提提建议哈O(∩_∩)O！
An ancient,traditional remedy for insomnia—the scent of lavender flowers—has now been proved effective.In a recent study,30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored electronically.During the first week,volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication.They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired.At the beginning of the second week,the volunteers discontinued their sleeping medication.During that week,they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired.During the third week,the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks.Therefore,the study proves that lavender cures insomnia within a short period of time.

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.

楼主可以和我写的比对一下 有问题再讨论


Insomnia is a medical condition a great many people suffer from and wish for a quick cure. The conclusion that lavender remedy cures insomnia seems too good to be true. We need evidence about the long-term effect of the remedy, how the lack of sleep in week 2 might affect sleep in week 3 as well as how the experiment conditions might influence the volunteers’ sleep in order to evaluate the argument.

To begin with, the results suggested that volunteers seemed to sleep better in week 3 after using the pillow but we need more information about how well they sleep in week 4 and in the long term to decide if insomnia was cured. It is important to note that the volunteers suffered from chronic insomnia which might be alleviated temporarily by the remedy. Yet, the volunteers may have trouble sleeping again once the human bodies get used to levanda smell and the remedy becomes less effective. Therefore, we need to track the long-term development of the medical condition in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the remedy.

Another issue that deserves further investigation is whether the volunteers slept better in week 3 because of the remedy. Given the fact that they did not sleep very well in week 2 after terminating the use of sleeping pills, the volunteers may have slept soundly in week 3 simply because they felt too tired. After enjoying some sound sleep in week 3, their insomnia conditions may come back again. The point here is similar to the concern over long-term effect discussed in the previous paragraph. But the focus here is whether the remedy was actually effective during the three week experiment.

A final issue that we need to consider is how the controlled environment might contribute to the improvement of sleep quality. Since the volunteers have been sleeping in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored electronically, it is safe to assume that the environment is almost free from distraction that the volunteers are normally subject to. When they participate in the study, they may forget about all the problems that bother them in their daily life. In other words, the lab environment might help them sleep better. It would be helpful if the volunteers could continue using the remedy at home and more data could be collected about their sleep in a more natural environment. After all, the remedy would be useless if the volunteers can only sleep well in a controlled room.

The experiments with the lavander remedy are certainly very interesting and it is tempting to accept the conclusion that the remedy can cure insomnia. But we need more evidence about the issues discussed above in order to decide if the argument is reasonable.

你的sample size的那一段感觉有点百搭 另外将medicine和scent区分开来也略显牵强

请问是不是不能用显得有些“百搭”的方法来回答？

并不是每一篇argument的主要问题都出在sample size上。其实sample size小未必是问题，问题是取样是否合理是否具有代表性。
一般来说，如果你套用那些不需要针对这道题本身进行思考就能写出的内容就不要指望拿到好分数了。

独立于题目准备素材是没有帮助的，所以那些参考书上的工具箱其实只是增长见闻罢了，并不能真正帮到考试。你现在能做的就是多看几篇我的issue范文，看看我的思路和例证，尤其注意部分文章用的例子是假设性的或者概念性的例子。
