In this memo, the author argues thatthere's no need to build additional generating plants to satisfy the energyneeds in his or her area. To strengthen this argument, the author cites arecent survey indicating home owners are more and more willing to save energyand the fact that energy-efficient home appliances like refrigerator andconditioner are being marketed and new technologies for energy-saving homeheating are readily available. Based on these facts, the author anticipates thepossible decline in demand for electricity and thus draws the conclusion.However, the argument, in detail, is not as convincing as it seems, for it lieson some unwarranted assumptions.
To begin with, the author assumes thesurvey and the facts cited precisely reflect the situation in local area.However, the survey conducted among home owners nationwide may reflect theiractual willing. Perhaps people in the area of this generating plant actuallydon't have as strong wishes as the survey indicates. Moreover, the facts in homeappliances and new home heating technologies may prevail in developed areas ofthe country, which is not the case in this area. To strengthen this, the authorshould provide specific information of local area in those aspects.
Furthermore, even if those survey and factsprecisely reflect the situation in this area, one cannot hastily make inferencethat local demand for electricity may decline slightly. It seems that theauthor unfairly assumes people in this area will utilize those energy-savingappliances and technologies in the foreseeable future and the electricity forhome use occupies a dominant percentage. However, it is entirely possible thatthe energy-efficient appliances are so expensive that many people in that areacannot afford them, thus still choosing ordinary appliances of lower prices.Also, perhaps the new technology for home heating to save energy still have itsshortcomings and inconveniences, for example, passive solar heating is notfeasible in rainy or snowy days. What's more, the percentage of energy use inthis area is unknown. It is quite possible that sharp rise in electricity ofindustrial use will dramatically increase the local electricity use.
Finally, the author makes another hastyassumption that the three plant generating plants will function well in thefuture to meet the energy needs. Still, this remains unsubstantiated. Perhapsthe old devices in those plants manage to meet the energy needs with difficultyin the past 20 years and are in desperate need for updating or construction ofnew plants. Without details about the function of the existing generatingplants, one cannot confirm that building new generating plants is unnecessary.
In sum, the author bases his or herargument on unwarranted assumptions, which compromise the argument'sreliability as well as validity. In order to refine it, the author shouldprovide accurate information on those energy-efficient appliances and technologiesand the actual application of them. Besides, local use of electricity apartfrom home use should also be taken into accounts to estimate the demand in thefuture. Finally, whether there is need to update the devices or construct newgenerating plants needs more investigations.
有几个问题:1,argument文章语言该怎么提高?虽然它的语言模板比较固定,但是我觉得在具体的写作过程中,精准性还是欠缺很多,看什么材料能够提高一些呢?
2,对于文章中词汇的重复,大家一般都是怎么处理的?有些出现在题目中的词组,开头引用一次,中间论述时还要转述或者引用,就感觉占去了文章中不小的篇幅。还有这篇文章在写的时候的一个困惑,题目中也没说是哪个地方的发电厂,然后我只能在文章中写什么in this area或者local area之类的,重复很多,大家觉得该怎么改改? |
