下面是我改的文章
Anddie的:
In this argument, the arguer tries to convince us that the sales of Whirlwind video games is about to increase dramatically, as a result of the introduction of the company's new products and advertising campaign. (原文改写意思不是很准确,说得太笼统了)To justify the claim, the arguer provides a recent survey about a video-game's most important features. A careful examination of this argument would reveal several critical flaws.(开头段有点生拼硬凑的感觉)
First of all, the arguer doesn’t(正式作文不要用省略形式) present any details of the survey, including the number of samples and the percentage of the people who favor lifelike graphics, which are two crucial factors that determine the sales of Whirlwind’s new lifelike video games. The sale is not going to increase, especially not to increase “dramatically”, (这句话比文章里说得还要绝对啊?写Argument要保持严谨吧,不要说“销售不会上升”这样绝对的话)without the game’s taking sufficient proportion of the computer game market(chinglish,建议重写这句). Nor does the arguer provide the time and regions the survey took place. So it is reasonable if we doubt the authenticity and credibility of the survey, the main basis of the conclusion the arguer draws. (恩,第一段先写最明显的错误)
Secondly, the arguer rests on the gratuitous assumption that the decrease of sales during the last two years is a result of the improper kinds of video games the company has involved in and the lack of advertisement, but that is not always the case(好长,虽然我大概能懂你表达的意思,但是不知道ETS的考官会不会被你饶晕了?呵呵). We cannot omit the influence of Whirlwind’s competitors, the loss due to management errors and even the possibility of the decrease of the whole country’s average income. All these problems may affect the sales of Whirlwind’s products greatly and have long-term influences, while the arguer leaves all these things behind and simply suggests introducing some lifelike games. So I suppose the forecast that the arguer finally made is more like an imagination, rather than a well-founded conclusion.(经常用So 有点单调吧。这个表达的问题是可以避免的,参考孙远工具箱)
Thirdly, the arguer fails to establish a causal relationship (啥意思?)between the lifelike games with extensive advertising campaign and the augment of its sales(??有点疑问). On one hand, he ignores other factors that influence consumers, the most significant of which is the quality of product. Few people would buy a game just because it is their favorite kind or its advertisement is amazing. (顾客的个人喜好和题目无冲突—相反还间接支持了调查的某些方面,给出这样假设好象没有什么必要)Sales would hardly increase if the lifelike games are badly developed, no matter how much Whirlwind advertises(这样的话没有必要出现哎). On the other hand, according to the argument, the games require a most up-to-date computer, and this may cause Whirlwind to lose a large portion of its customers who cannot afford such a high-tech but expensive computer(这是你的个人假设吧,陈述事实可以提出来说10-25的多为没有工作/工作不稳定人群,所以给电脑配置带来限制). Since the argument doesn’t provide any information about the games’ quality and consumers, we believe it is not valid to conclude that the sales would increase.(这段有点杂,而且花的笔墨占全文的比重过多了)
Lastly, it seems not so obvious that people aged 10 to 25 years old is the age-group most likely to play video games.(这个我觉得没有必要反驳。感觉在找茬,呵呵) The arguer just imagines the age bounds of the group without any survey or proof, which is not persuasive. In addition, an advertisement that directs at a certain age-group would cause consumers of other ages to lose their interests and finally bring loss to Whirlwind’s video game sales.
All in all, the argument is not reasonable as it stands. To make it more logical, the arguer would have to produce more evidence to prove that the sales would definitely increase. We need more evidence concerning the data of the survey, the reason why the sales decreased and the guarantee of its reversion.
总结:
Anddie第一次写作文吧?希望不要被我拍得太厉害了。
结构把握不错,大的前提把握了,但是表达的方面及反驳的思维套路还没有形成。
建议可以在动手前写一份完整的中文提纲。
并且用中文思考看哪些反驳的观点是站不住脚的,哪些是实实在在的逻辑错误。
然后再动笔写。表达方面可以先整理自己的写作模版(从范文里抠下来,呵呵,我以前就是这么做的)
最后鼓励一下,加油加油。:) |
