In the argument, the arguer try to persuade people to believe that the scent in lavender flowers can work as a folk remedy for insomnia by citing a study about insomnia. By comparing the sleeping quality of volunteers with chronic insomnia in three weeks, the arguer concludes that it is the scent in lavender flowers that eventually cures insomnia. However, this inference is not thoroughly well=reasoned for several possible alternatives are overlooked by the arguer.

To begin with, the conclusion can be weaken by being aware of the fact that people always fell nervous when they move from one place, especially their familiar place to another straight place, such as the controlled room in the study. When sleeping in an unfamiliar room with some apparatus, volunteers are easy to be nervous, thereby resulting in their low quality of sleep in the first week. However, after staying in the same room with the same instruments monitoring them, they are likely to get used to the environment and finally sleep comfortably. Therefore, in order to substantiate whether the scent of lavender flowers can cure insomnia or not, further tests are required.

Second, besides the possible alteration of the volunteers, their living condition and working pressure at the day time are also need to be identified. As we all know, the more tired volunteers feel in their work, the easier they fall into sleep at night. If the volunteers working more painstaking in the third week, they maybe more easily to get to sleep, thereby weakening the conclusion that it is the scent in lavender flowers that result people's better sleeping.

Third, the time of the study is also need to given. Since the weather have a far-reaching influence on people's living style. People in summer need less sleep, while in winter require more. If the test exactly pass during the change of weather from hot to cold. We may infer that it is the transformation of temperature instead of the scent of lavender flowers that contributes to the better sleeping of the volunteers. So, further information about the period of the study is necessary for us.

In consequence, the arguer's conclusion is based of a unconvincing study, which masks some possible alternatives that may also result in the better sleeping of volunteers. In order to solidify his argument, additional data about the diurnal working condition of the volunteers, about the time of the study, and about whether the volunteers would be inured to the testing room.

总体来说还不错
就是那个天气的有点怪 三个星期从很hot变得很cold可能性不大吧而且还是在实验室  可以说成在实验的过程中其他情况可能变了之类的可能好些
