Argument145
A new study collected data that shows that people who snore are more likely to gain weight than are people who do not snore. It is well known that many people who snore also stop breathing frequently during the night for a few seconds, a condition called sleep apnea. The interruption of breathing wakes the person—often so briefly that the waking goes unnoticed—and can leave the person too tired during the day to exercise. Anyone who snores, therefore, should try to eat less than the average person and to exercise more.

Merely based on the unfounded assumption and dubious evidence, the arguer of this argument draws the conclusion that one who snores should eat less and to exercise more. To support the conclusion, the arguer points out a study which shows that snoring people would likely to gain weight than people who do not snore. In addition, the arguer indicates that snoring people own the habit of interrupting breath during night and with this habit they should exercise. After careful examination of the argument, we can find that the conclusion is unreliable. The argument contains several critical flaws as follows.

Firstly, the arguer cited a study to show that snoring people would likely to gain weight. Yet, the evidence of the correlation between gaining weight and snoring has not been provided. Even if there is a relationship between snoring and weight, the arguer would have to provide the specific information about the study. The information with the tested persons is an example. It is possible that, and in some cases it is true, all these tested people are fat men who also snore. Considering this condition, can the arguer say that the study is reliable?

To support the conclusion about the exercises, the arguer indicates that snoring would lead to stop breathing frequently. This argument is little ridiculous. There is no medical test to prove this assumption. It is entirely possible that the frequent stopping breathing is from some individual's habit, but not the reason of the snoring. Meanwhile, the arguer claimed that the stopping breathing can provide short exercise because he believe that interrupting breathing would impact the quality of sleeping. No evidence can prove that waking so briefly would impact people's health. If healthy body is relied on the sleep, then it is better to sleep more but without the exercise. Again, there is no more information to prove that interrupting breath can wake people's sleep.

Even if there is a correlation between the snorers and the exerices, the advice to exercise would still be logically unreliable. The question is what the person should do to eliminate the cause of the tiredness. Is exercise the only way to be energetic? Of course there are many choices to engage, such as playing sports, jogging to the outside, etc.

To sum up, the arguer's conclusion is ill conceived and poorly supported to ghe snorers. To lend credibility, the arguer should provide evidence that the recent collected data have reflected the whole snorers' situation. To better support the argument it would be useful to know all the possible causes of snoring.

总体结构明朗，句子流畅，基本逻辑错误都论述到了，不过最根本的逻辑错误（打鼾的人应该少吃多锻炼的原因何在？）还是论述的不够充分，如果打鼾真的如作者说能增肥，那么少吃多锻炼不一定是减肥的最好办法，或许根本治疗打鼾的毛病更好，而且少吃多少没有定量，更何况难道所有打鼾的人都愿意减肥吗？其次，如果打鼾不能引起增肥，那么就更没必要少吃多锻炼了。不知道我这么说，是否正确。
