The following appeared in a letter to the editor of Parson City's local newspaper.

In our region of Trillura, the majority of money spent on the schools that most students attend—the city-run public schools—comes from taxes that each city government collects. The region's cities differ, however, in the budgetary priority they give to public education. For example, both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms, Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do.

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.

Argument: Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools—even though both cities have about the same number of residents. Clearly, Parson City residents place a higher value on providing a good education in public schools than Blue City residents do.

論証1: Both as a proportion of its overall tax revenues and in absolute terms.

論証2: Parson City has recently spent almost twice as much per year as Blue City has for its public schools.

論証3: Both cities have about the same number of residents.

In the letter, the writer argues that compared with Blue City residents, Parson City residents has a higher priority of providing a good public schools education to students, citing the evidence that the recent ratio of the spending on public schools between Parson City and Blue City is two to one. In order to evaluate the argument, the specific evidence about the expenditure on public schools between the two cities in the past, the number of students between the two cities, and the salaries levels related to teachers in the public schools between the two cities is needed.

To begin with, the writer argues that since its recent absolute terms of ratio of the expenditure on public schools between Parson and Blue City is two to one, the speaker concludes that residents in Parson City has a higher priority to provide a good public schools education to students than Blue City. 為了更準確地評估這一個假說, 我需要的証明包括2個城市過去對公共教育的開支。若果在過去一段相當長的時間 – such as 10 years or above – Parson City公共教育的開支一向較Blue City為低。Parson City近來對教育的開支的增加不可以支持Parson City較 Blue City更著重提供良好的公共教育給該城市的學生。

Furthermore, the writer indicates that while compared with Blue City, Parson City’s residents are more willing to provide their students with a decent public schools’ education, citing that the expenditure on public schools of Parson City is almost twice than Blue city while the number of residents between the two cities are almost the same. 為了更準確地評估這一個假說, 我需要的証明包括2個城市學生的人口。如果Parson City 學生的人口是Blue City的２倍or above。相對地，Parson City要分上比Blue City 2倍or above 的開支去提供公並教育給當地學生當其他因素不變的時候。在這一前提之下，speaker的假說會被weaken.

Additionally, the writer assumes that two cities share the same conditions such as the salary levels of the teachers. Since Parson City pays two time as much as expenditure than Blue City on public education, Parson City residents are more willing to provide a good education to their students while compared with Blue City. 為了更準確地評估這一個假說, 我需要的証明包括2個城市老師人工的水平。如果整體來說，Parson City老師的人工水平較Blue City高出２倍or above, Parson City支出較Blue City高２倍不可以用來支持作者的假說。相反地，若果２個城市教師的工水平相等，Parson City較Blue City為高的教育支出可以証明作者的假說。
