开头段练习:
【Argument 35】
The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
"One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. I predict that modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically."

Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.

【Conclusion】
Restricting the water flow of the showerheads could help save expenditure and increase the profits of Sunnyside Corporation.

【Argument】
1.        Since the corporation must pay for water each month, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation.
2.        No problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment except a few complains.

【Paragraph】
According to the department owner, the corporation should modify the showerheads to restrict water flow, further to save expenditure and increase their profits. He argues that the three buildings with already modified showerheads would make an obvious saving of water. Also, there is no problem with showers reported till now, except a few complaints.

另外,Argument的全部8个写作要求都可以这样写开头吗?需不需要对应写作要求提一点 结论和论据 的大概问题所在?
