Argument 71. 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.
根据详细提纲限时写全文。希望大家按照以下提纲来计时写全文。这次练习的主要目的是让大家能够在给定思路的情况下练习语言的表达。同时也可以学习一下我的破题思路。
Conclusion: In order to solve the traffic problems, Waymarsh should follow the example of Garville and encourage people to share rides to work..
证据1:The state traffic survey showed that three years ago the driving commuter took less time to get to work
证据2:More road construction is expensive as well as disrupt some residential neighborhoods
证据3:The policy that rewards people to share rides in Garbille is successful: less pollution, commuting time has fallen dramatically
According to the letter, in order to solve traffic problems, Waymarsh should follow the example of Garville and introduce silimiar policy to encourage more people to share rides with others. To evaluate the conclusion, we need more evidence about the surveys indicating the traffic problem, the strengths and weakness related to the road construction plan, as well as whether it is suitable for Waymash to adopt the similar policy.
To begin with, we need to examine the surveys more critically and assess the extent of the traffic problems. The editor claims that there is a traffic problem in Waymarsh, because the survey shows that three years ago the driving commuter took less time to get to work. This evidence is unwarrented because the reliability of the survey and whether the surveroys is cross-bencher is uncertain. If the surveyors aim at making money by taking ride with others to work, or the surveyors are environmental protectors, the final conclusion will have deviation. In addition, the respondents must be statistically significant in number and representative of the overall residents. For example, if the sample in the survey only included drivers who move far away from their company during the three years, it is more likely that the drivers will spend more time on driving to work.
主要讨论调查的可靠性:调查人员是否客观中立,调查对象是否具有代表性
surveyors ? 你见过这个词?
If the surveyors aim at making money by taking ride with others to work, or the surveyors are environmental protectors 这个和题目有什么关系 完全看不出来
the respondents must be statistically significant in number? you mean sample size?
if the sample in the survey only included drivers who move far away from their company during the three years
这个point其实蛮好 但是表达很有问题
感觉你还是要好好学一下范文的表达
In addition, we need to collect more information about how the policy has improved the environment and traffic condition in Garville and how a similar policy will affect people’s behaviors in Waymarsh. The author thinks that the decrease of pollution in Garville mainly attributes to the traffic policy. But there is possiblility that the local government took measure to strengthen sewage mangement, as well as adoption of new technology in factories played essential roles to reduce pollution. The conclusion that the commuting timse in Garville have fallen is also not reliable only by the conversation with local residents. Moreover, we should consider the preferance of transportation for people in Waymarsh. For example, if they pay more attention to privacy and safety problems or most of them don’t care about mondy, most of them are willing to show off their luxury cars.
主要先考虑Garville环境以及交通改善的原因:可能是政府主导或者是企业采取新技术;另外commuting times 减少这个结论没有很可靠的调查论证。
另一方面,要讨论Waymarsh对于出行方式的偏好,可能他们注重安全或者隐私问题,不愿意share ride,或者是很有钱,宁可自己开车炫富。
attributes to the traffic policy表达
你的文章里好多拼写错误啊
The conclusion that the commuting timse in Garville have fallen is also not reliable only by the conversation 表达不对 你这是在瞎写啊
而且我反复讲过 不要说conclusion不对 而应该说可能不对
Finally, we need to compare the cost and benefits of the ride sharing policy with the proposed road construction project.The argument’s recommendation falsely depends on the high cost of the road construction. However, it is entirely possible that the project will be a fundamental solution. On the contrary, sharing rides with others is a temporary method, which may cost more and face the increasing burden of population. There is no denying that the construction will make noise and disrupt residentals, but the problems can be solved by economic compensation. Then the government can make a comparison with the two method. In short, without budgets and comparisons of the two solution, the argument cannot justifiably conclude that the taking similar policy in Waymarsh is economical and useful.
这一段主要讲的是对于修路和之前的policy的比较,修路虽然耗费多,但却实为长久之策,而且噪声等问题可以通过经济补偿的方式来解决。政府应当对两种方案进行科学合理的评估,通过预估支出来判断哪一种方法更节约有效。
The argument’s recommendation falsely depends on the high cost 表达很有问题
the project will be a fundamental solution什么意思
哎 感觉你的argument简直没法看啊
可能是在做翻译吧
In conclusion, while the proposed policy seems useful, we need to collect more information to address the issues discussed above to evaluate the soundness of the argument.
