ARGUMENT17- The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove townnewspaper. "Walnut Grove'stown council has advocated switching from EZ Disposal (which has had thecontract 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. EZcollects 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 lastyear's town survey agreed that they were 'satisfied' with EZ's performance."
1. TC真的仅仅因为EZ收费变高,而ABC没有涨价而不用EZ的吗?不是的
1) EZ一直使用十年前的垃圾处理技术,给环境带来污染,而ABC采用先进的循环处理技术,不仅不污染环境,还可以使废物循环再利用
2. EZ的涨价真的合理吗?不是的
1) 十年前也是同样的价格同样的服务,但是为什么现在要多收500?
2) 就算EZ改进了服务,但是真的需要多收500吗?很可能200已足够
3. 作者给出的3个论据真的就毫无瑕疵吗?不是的
1) 有必要一周两次的频率吗?很可能TC并没有那么多的垃圾
2) 定购的这些车的车况都好吗?
3) 调查是很客观的吗?

This argument presents above is reasonablysound, however, the author fails to recognize all elements necessary toevaluate his situation. The position that EZ Disposal (EZ) should be usedcontinually to collect the trash of Walnut Grove’s (WG) town hardly canconvince me to have the same determination.
To begin with, the author fails to analyzethe question that town council (TC) make the decision that switching from EZ toABC Waste merely depends on the EZ’ price has risen from $2000 to $2500 a month. It is probably has anotherreason. Perhaps, EZ still using traditional technology, which takes method ofburying the crash into earth, to dispose the crash of WG. By doing this, itwould be harm to environment of WG. Meanwhile, ABC is using the latest technology,which disposes crash circularly, to reduce the pollution and advance the rateof use of castoff. In brief, I cannot make any decision without informationabout the technology EZ used.
In an addition, I want to query that it isreasonable to raise charge from the point of EZ. It is obvious that EZ providethe same service to WG with the same pride -2000 a month-in the last 10 years. At the same time, it is ambiguousthat the reason why EZ has to raise to 2500 a month to provide the same service as well as the last 10years. Besides, I concede that EZ raises the pride due to provide a betterservice to WG; it must be increase 500 amonth? May be raise to 2200 amonth is totally enough.
Furthermore, the arguments that the authoraffords to support his decision have blemishes. First, it is not necessary tocollect crash twice a week perhaps. May there has little crash in WG. Second, whether the additional trucks that EZordered recently are all of well quality to transport crash. It is possiblethat these trucks have no capable of carrying so many crashes twice a week.Third, the satisfying rate from the survey cannot supply a powerful evidence ofthe advantage of EZ.
Consequently, the letter give to the TC hasso many flaws which cannot convince me. Much more work, such as the real reasonthat why TC decided to contrast with ABC but not EZ, and why EZ raise the pricefrom 2000 to 2500 amonth and so no, is needed to make the determination. |
