6The following was written as a part of an application for a small business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.
"A jazz music club in Monroe would be a tremendously profitable enterprise. Currently, the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away; thus, our proposed club, the C Note, would have the local market all to itself. Plus, jazz is extremely popular in Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe's jazz festival last summer, several well-known jazz musicians live in Monroe, and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is 'Jazz Nightly,' which airs every weeknight. Finally, a nationwide study indicates that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment. It is clear that the C Note cannot help but make money."
1) The assumption that the C Note, would have the local market all to itself ,since the nearest jazz club is 65 miles away.is unwarrented. 理由:现在交通方便,似乎65miles 不是很远的距离。还有Arguer没有提供证据说明新的Club以什么优势来吸引顾客。
2) The arguer fails to convince us that Jazz is extremely popular in Monroe.理由:首先,100,000中有多少人是本地人,其次参加的人都是狂热的粉丝吗?名人住在Monroe不足以说明jazz的受欢迎程度。
3) A nationwide study seems insufficient to prove that the jazz fan in Mmoroe would attend the C Note Jazz club.理由:全国范围的study平均水平不能代表地方的真实情况。很多因素有关,当地的收入水平,Jazz的受欢迎程度,有的人虽然是fans但宁愿买碟,收听收音机,看电视,而不去花费很多去Club听现场。似乎本地的收音机的收听率很高就说明这一点。
