ARGUMENT 216 –
The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.
"Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."
提纲:
1, 要证明适合退休人居住,还要提供其他更多的信息。
2, 关于房价问题,不一定低。
3, 关于市长的承诺问题,兑现的时间,另外考虑其他人的因素。
4, 医生的水平和数目无关。
Promising a pleasure living environment, fallen housing costs, excellent health care, as well as several public services, the author concludes that Clearview should be the top choice for living after retirement. However, lacking sufficient evidence and detailed analysis, all these seemingly attractive conditions are all unpersuasive to support the suggestion of the author.
To begin with, the spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate are not the single criteria for retirees to choose place to enjoy their afterlife days. Actually, there many such similar places and therefore Clearview may not attract the attention of old people just relying on these two characters. The author needs to provide information, which may reveal the special characters of Clearview, meeting the needs of old people. As to retirees, they are easier to feel lonely than those at work. Consequently, whether there are people at the similar ages or not is rather crucial to them. The author should provide information about residents in Clearview, including their ages, their interests and their daily plans. In addition, the author should make sure that social security there insured by the government. To persuade us, more detailed and representative information should be given, such as the number of police in guard, the rate of crimes over the recent years and so on. In short, the author should take consideration more about the characters of retirees and pay more attention to social security and agreeable neighborhood.
Furthermore, whether the retirees will succeed in buying houses in Clearview at a low price or not is rather open to doubt. The significantly fallen housing costs are based on bonus, but yet no evidence reveals that this policy also benefits those retirees of other places. Maybe only the local people or just those still at work deserve such bonus. The author should tell us the detailed content of this policy of housing costs. In addition, the author fails to provide the original cost of houses in Clearview. It is entirely possible that the housing costs there are still higher than other places though having fallen a lot. Thus, rather than the treads of housing costs, the author should provide us the exact prices of Clearview and other places during these years.
Moreover, mayor’s promises cannot be the strong evidence to further prove the suggestion of author. Just a promise, but no indeed persuasive plans, retirees will have numerous doubt. First, how long will this promise come into reality? It is entirely possible that all these attractive services will not be realized until after a long time. Ten years? As we all know, time is rather a crucial precious to old people. Thus, the author should provide detailed and persuasive plans about how to conduct this promise. Second, is the mayor able to determine the result? In fact, in order to improve schools, streets, and public services, there are many people should make their best efforts, such as the educational department, the financial department and so on. The author should provide information about all these certain departments and people.
The last but not the least, the great number of physicians in the area cannot represent the excellent health care. Though the number is greater than the national average, the work abilities of these physicians have not been mentioned at all. Maybe most of them are eliminated from other places. In short, the author should provide more credible information about their work abilities and their attitudes towards old people.
In sum, in order to persuade retirees, the author should know the characters of them and provide them the most attractive conditions of Clearview according to their preference. In addition, the author needs to offer the exact information about the costs of houses there rather than relying on his or her own assumptions. Also, the author should provide persuasive evidence to insure the promising good services. |
