------题目------
The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.
'Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average.'

Clearview as mentioned in this article seems at first glance to be a good recommended place for retirement. After all, a place with natural beauty and consistent climate is one of the attractions to people to live in. However, with close scrutiny with the recommendation, it masks some illogical flaws which render the conclusion unconvincing as it stands.
The threshold in this article involves that it lacks the reactions from the elders who havinghave been in Clearview. Because the reactions to Clearview from these retire men can greatly and authoritatively contribute to the question whether the city is suitable to live in or not. If Clearview is really an appealing place to live in, it will attract much more elders to there, especially those after they are retired. The suggestions of these people would be much persuasive and credible as an advertisement. As the author in this article overlooks to provide such evidence, it will be short of sorts of 这是敲错了还是固定表达 请提示一下 credibility.这段是象是提出建议增加 title statement的说服力吧, 还请提示一下这是否是一个逻辑错误
Additionally, this article is also weakened in the aspect that the housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly last year. Even though the costs have fallen, there is also the probability that they are still higher than those in other nearby towns. And no further evidence could assure that the costs would keep on declining一直下降太过火了吧, or it is likely increase a little to some extent. What's more, even if the costs and the real estate taxes in Clearview are lower than others nearby, they might be the indications that the economic level in this area is accordingly lower than that of the others, resulting in the insufficient public services it would supply.
Meanwhile, the author also claims that the mayor in Clearview promises to improve schools, streets and public services, which might prove what the possibility assumed above. On the other hand, these new programs include the improvement in schools and streets.这句话有点别扭,并且上面提到了public services If so, it might be out of the reach of these elders since they seldom consider that the schools and the streets are little related to the comfort of living there. Further, as these programes are only the mayor's promise, it means that they are still in the plans or even in dreams and thus the accomplishment is likely several years later. In this case, this recommendation will be not so persuasive as it should be.
Finally, this recommendation unjustifiably assumes that the more不太确定这种表达 of the physicians in the area would undoubtedly give the excellent health care. Common sense tells us that the great quantity unnecessarily assures the good quality. In other words, even though the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average, it unnecessarily results in the excellent health care these retire men would accept. In this aspect, this recommendation of Clearview city would also be untenable as it stands.
In sum, this planning for retirement in Clearview is not the same as it is claimed to be the top choice. The author in this article should provide suggestions from the elders who have lived there as well as the concrete levels of the economy and the physicians in the area. After all, a kind climate is only one of the numerous attractions. |
