TOPIC: ARGUMENT158 - The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of possible harmful effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near the sites. A total of five sites and 300 people were examined. The study revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation between the proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes, there was otherwise no correlation between the size of the garbage sites and people's health. Therefore, the council is pleased to announce that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard. We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites.

The Trash-Site Safety Council conclude that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard and they have no need to restrict the size such sites and the number of homes built near the sites. The council provides a recent examination to support the conclusion, which has several flaws.

First of all, the council has not convinced me that the five sites and 300 people that been examined can really stand for the whole State's garbage sites. May be the environment around those five sites are much better than others that reduce the possibility to cause rashes. Then, the 300 people around may have a better body properties that not venerable to get rashes than others in the state.


Secondly, it is illogical that the council announces that there is no correlation between the size of the garbage sites and people's health, while the people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of rashes. To common sense the higher incidence of rashes reflect the bigger the site is the more possible that the people to suffer from rashes. Then, the council fail to show us whether there is other health problems could caused by the trash sites, after all, rashes are not so serious healthy problem.


Thirdly, although the above mentioned is reasonable, it is unsound that there is no need to restrict the size of such garbage sites or the number of homes built near the sites. Other problems may cause by the size of garbage, such as environment pollution or has bad effect to state's beauty. In addition, it is entirely possible that no one want to live around a garbage site. To common sense, the smell is bad and dust is always much around a garbage sites.

In conclusion, the council's argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the council must provide better evidence that the environmental conditions at the 5 studied can represent the garbage sites around the state, and the 300 people are have the general body prosperities. To better assess the argument the council must provide valid proof to testify that it is really no connection between the size of trash sites and people's health. And the council also need to prove that there is no other healthy problems would made by garbage sites and it is accord with the city's construction environment well and denizens pleased to live around the trash sites.

感觉结尾段不用写太长吧，对要点加以补充就行了，前面的论证可以多加强
