谢谢你们的建议,都很有道理,收下!!经过修改,应该解决了一些问题了,不过改完有六百字了,狂汗……
The arguer advocated that shutting down the library in Pllluxton (P) and using the library in Castorville (C) will be available to save money and improve service. This recommendation is based on the fact that the new garbage collection department that merged of the two departments in P and C reported few complaints about its service, as well as the 20 percent decrease in the library of p. However, this argument is unconvincing for several flaws.
In the first place, the arguer improperly assumes that the garbage collection departments emerging is successful in economizing and service improving only because few complain was reported. For on thing, the new department reported few complaints is not objective to reflect the true service condition. The arguer fails to rule out the possibility that the new department concealed negative reports about the service in order to protect the it’s reputation; it is also possible that most users complain about the service to the government or newspapers instead of to the garbage collection department directly, so few complain was received by the garbage department. For another thing, there is no clue about the departments merging reached the other aim of economizing. Accordingly, success of the new department is doubtful.
In the second place, the 20 percent decrease of users in library of P last year is an insufficient evidence to support the arguer's assumption that it should be closed. The number of 20 percent is too isolated to demonstrate anything. There is possibility that users of the library in P sharply reduced because of the bad weather of last winter, which affect the whole year’s number of users, and the number is booming this year. Moreover, it is unwise to determine that which library should close without considering the situation of both of them. Probably, the users of the library in C experience a more severe decline of users these years, which mean that it should be closed rather than the library in P. Consequently, this single statistic could not lead to any claim.
Finally, the situation of libraries and the garbage collection departments are not similar enough to warrant the analogical deduction. Granted that the new garbage collection department succeeded in finance and service improving, there are still many significant differences between the libraries and the garbage departments. Since the workers of garbage department do the job of garbage collecting, what the users need to do is put the garbage into the can in front of their house as before, the location change of the garbage station is not so appreciable to the users. In the other hand, the location change of the library means the users have to drive a long way to the other village, which is much more inconvenient as before. That would negatively affect the library’s income and the number of users; and could lend no support to service improving. Furthermore, closing a library may not as convenient as emerging garbage station. Leaving a library there without using is a waste of buildings, books and equipments. If move all the books to the other library, the transporting, recoding and rearranging of the books are all troublesome problems need to be solved, which may highly raise the costs.
On balance, from what have been discussed above, we could safely reach the conclusion that the arguer's claim lack of credibility. To improve this argument, the arguer should supply a detailed and authentic report about the finance and service situation of the libraries and the new garbage collection department, as well as an economical plan of optimizing the libraries.
