The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times.

Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem. Although just three years ago a state traffic survey showed that the typical driving commuter took 20 minutes to get to work, the commute now takes closer to 40 minutes, according to the survey just completed. Members of the town council already have suggested more road building to address the problem, but as well as being expensive, the new construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods. It would be better to follow the example of the nearby city of Garville. Last year Garville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work, giving them coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Garville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and people from Garville tell me that commuting times have fallen considerably. There is no reason why a policy like Garville's shouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh.

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: Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem. There is no reason why a policy like Garville's shouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh.

論証1: A state traffic survey showed that the typical driving commuter took 20 minutes to get to work, the commute now takes closer to 40 minutes

論証2: Suggesting more road building to address the problem, but as well as being expensive, the new construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods

論証3: Last year Garville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work, giving them coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Garville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and people from Garville tell me that commuting times have fallen considerably.

In a letter, the writer suggests that in order to solve the traffic problem in Waymarsh the city should follow the methods used by the city of Garville, citing the evidence about the benefits – reduction in the commuting times and the air-pollution – of the city of Garville after the reformation. To evaluate the argument, specific evidence about the reason of the increase in the commuting times of driving commuters in Waymarsh, the expenditure of the building more roads while compared with other programs, and the difference or similarity between the cities of Waymarsh and Garville.

To begin with, I would need the evidence that why driving commuters in Waymash have to spend doubt time – from 20 minutes to 40 minutes – to do the commuting while compared with three years ago. 我需要的証明包括他們居住,工作的地點和驾驶的路線有沒有改變。如果這3方面都沒有改變, 他們花費在上班時間上的時間增加了2倍, 這可以証明交通問題變得serious。可以, 如果3個變量有任何改變, 作者的論點就會被weakened. For example: 如果驾驶者更換了一絛較長的路線, 他們花費在交通的時間必然上升。

Furthermore, I would need the evidence about the expenditure on building more roads and other potential methods solving the traffic problem in Waymash in order to judge the writer argument’s that the construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods because of the high cost of building roads. 我需要的証明包括修路的費用和其他可行方法(改善交通問題的計劃)的費用。如果修路的費用遠遠較其他可行的方案為高, 這可以預計到這計劃會disrupts附近的居民。作者的論說可以被strengthened。相反地, 如果修路的費用相對其他的方案為低時, 這不會disrupts附近的居民。作者的論說被weakened.

Additionally, I would need the evidence about the differences or similarities between Waymash and Garville to evaluate the writer’s claim that Waymash should follow the methods used by Graville to remedy the traffic problem. 我需要的証明包括在Waymash上班的人士可以OR不可以share rides to work。如何Waymash的上班人士分散地城市不同的角落, 他們並不可以share rides to work. 這一前提之下, 作者的隻說會被weakened. 相反地, 若果他們集中在某一城區上班, 員工之間便可以share rides to work. 此外, 我們要証明Waymash員工收到coupons for free gas後會不會增加他們驾車上班的機會。如果會的話, 空氣是不會得到改善的。
