题目：ARGUMENT17 - The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove town newspaper.

"Walnut Grove's town council has advocated switching from EZ Disposal (which has had the contract for trash collection services in Walnut Grove for the past ten years) to ABC Waste, because EZ recently raised its monthly fee from $2,000 to $2,500 a month, whereas ABC's fee is still $2,000. But the town council is mistaken; we should continue using EZ. EZ collects trash twice a week, while ABC collects only once. Moreover, EZ-which, like ABC, currently has a fleet of 20 trucks-has ordered additional trucks. Finally, EZ provides exceptional service: 80 percent of respondents to last year's town survey agreed that they were 'satisfied' with EZ's performance."

In this letter, the author recommends that Walnut Grove (WG) have changed their trash-collection service company from EZ to ABC, only because EZ raised its fee from $2000 per month to $2500 per month. Then the author refute that WG has made a mistake that they do not consider the EZ's strength. First is EZ collects twice per week, but ABC only once per week. Second, although the two companies have the same number of collection trucks, EZ will buy more 20 trucks. Third, in the last year's town survey, 80% of the respondents that they were "satisfied" with EZ's service. But I think the author's argument is week.

The first point, the letter doesn’t tell us how often for WG's trash-collection is appropriate. So we can't say which company is the right one for WG. In the event that only once collection per week is enough, then if we still choose EZ, it will be a waste of money.

Second, in EZ's plan, they will order more 20 trucks. But there is no sign show that they will put on these extra trucks into the WG's trash-collection. Besides, we should also consider that whether we need these more 20 trucks for WG's trash-collection. But in the author's letter, we can't find any foundation for us to know the more 20 trucks' necessity.

Last, the author gives us a survey to support his recommendation. But the author fails to provide an assurance that these respondents are representative of the overall population of people whose trash EZ collects. In addition of this, we still do not know ABC’s situation about the “satisfied” custom of all. Entirely possible, ABC has more satisfaction than EZ.

In sum, it has not convinced me that choosing EZ is better than choosing ABC. The author should provide that WG need once more trash collection and with the development of the town we in deed need mare trucks to collect the trash. Beside this, the author need to give us more information about last year’s survey to support that EZ’s service is much better than ABC’s.
