The following appeared as part of a letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
'During her three years in office, Governor Riedeburg has shown herself to be a worthy leader. Since she took office, crime has decreased, the number of jobs created per year has doubled, and the number of people choosing to live in our state has increased. These trends are likely to continue if she is reelected. In addition, Ms. Riedeburg has promised to take steps to keep big companies here, thereby providing jobs for any new residents. Anyone who looks at Ms. Riedeburg's record can tell that she is the best-qualified candidate for governor.'
------正文------
In this argument, the editor of the local newspaper recommended(用recommends) that people in their state should re-elect Governor Riedeburg as the leader for next few years. In order to substantiate his(editor's 或his/her) recommendation, the editor argues that Governor Riedeburg has proved herself a worthy leader in the past three year in office, due to the decreased crime and increased jobs and residents. In addition to that, the editor also claims that the leader has promised to take some new measures to introduce more big companies, job opportunities and residents. The argument may seem reasonable at first glance, but after scrutiny we will reveal some crucial logical flaws in it.
In the first place, the editor fails to convince us that Governor Riedeburg has shown herself to be a worthy leader during her office years. He just said when she took office, crimes have decrease and the number of jobs created per year has increased, and the number of people who chose to live in our state has increased.(可以简练一些,the fact that decreased crimes and the increased number of new jobs and immigrants cannot lend credible support to the author's claim that Governor Riedeburg has shown herself to be a worthy leader ) It was not sure yet whether this accomplishment and contributions done to the states is due to her decision and measures. Maybe it was some other people who made the right decisions about the states and she just take the advice; or maybe it was the former leader's decision that has just paid off in the recent three years.
In addition to the editor's failure to prove Governor Riedeburg's competence,(这里可以改成even assuming Governor Riedeburg's competence has been proved 用让步可以让文章更紧凑) the editor also unfairly assumes that if we re-elect her, the trend of decreased crimes and increased jobs and residents will continue to follow as there were in the past years. It is in all likelihood that the right decision made by Riedeburg and her fellow workmates will not be efficient in the next years. The editor has obviously ignores the changing environment that will affect their decision's paying off.
Even if the editor has provided enough concrete evidence to show Governor Riedebur is really a competent leader in the past three years, he has ignored some other important relevant factors in deciding which candidate we should vote for in a campaign. When different people are deciding which candidate they should support, their views will vary according to their different background and personal interests. And many people may put much more concern about their own conditions such as how the education opportunity in the future would be, whether the taxation would be reduced or increased, and so on.
Finally, the fact that Riedeburg has promised that she will take new steps to keep big companies, thereby providing jobs for new residents tells little about the rightness of re-electing her as new leader of the state.(the fact that Riedeburg'promision about new steps to keeping big companies, which provide jobs for new residents, tells little about....用一些名词适当替换可以简练一些) People would never know how she will act in the future just by hearing a oral promise of a leader. Moreover, the argument has also provided little information about the state's present situation of introducing big companies. Perhaps the big companies has already been in a large number in the states or perhaps the job opportunities have been enhanced to a(an) enough level that cant not be increased any more, or perhaps the state now has an overpopulation that providing them with sufficient jobs will attract more people to reside then make a big burden to the state.
To sum up, the argument is unconvincedable as it stands. To strengthen it, the editor need to provide more information to demonstrate Governor Riedeburg is a competent and successful leader and ensure her decisions in the next years will be also effective in making the state prosperous. Also(in addition), he should take into account some other relevant factors deciding what virtues a good leader should have and what she should do for the citizen as a whole.
