TOPIC: ARGUMENT2 - The following appeared in a letter sent by a committee of homeowners from the Deerhaven Acres to all homeowners in Deerhaven Acres.

"Seven years ago, homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions on how the community's yards should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors of homes should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. In order to raise property values in Deerhaven Acres, we should adopt our own set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting."

正文：

The recommendation endorsed in this argument is that Deerhaven Acres (DA) should make their own system of restrictions on landscaping and house painting to raise the property values. Based on several so-called reasons, the argument seems at first glance well-stated, however, close scrutiny reveals it conceals several logical flaws and is therefore not well-supported as it stands.

First of all, the arguer fails to establish a causal relationship between the set of restrictions and the increase of property values in Brookville. The set of restrictions could be one factor that contributes to the striking increase of the average values in the community, but there is no clue that it is the key factor or even the sole one. Perhaps, for example, the economic condition in Brookville has increased significantly during the seven years and thus the property values automatically increase along with the economic development. Or perhaps the local government applied tremendous amount of practicable approaches to develop the community and cause the rise of the property values accordingly. Restrictions on the exteriors of the homes, on the other side, might efface the personalities of different individuals and henceforth bring about complaints among the homeowners.

Second, the arguer unfairly assumes that all things are equal and stubborn in the seven yeas. However, this is not necessarily the case. Seven years is a long time span and a myriad of variables may affect the property values either in Brookville or in DA, The economic backgrounds, the consumption notion of the citizens and the population in the two regions of seven years ago and presently may differ conspicuously. Thus, even the restrictions have proved effect in Brookville, there is no guarantee that it will bring about the same results in DA.


Third, there is a weak analogy between DA and Brookville. The arguer assumes that the two geographical regions are analogous or statistically comparable in all aspects. However, he fails to provide detail information to substantiate the conclusion. The conditions of the houses, the climates, the geographic conditions, the economic backgrounds and the world view of people in the two areas might not necessarily alike. For example, if houses in Brookville generally have a good condition than DA, it is likely that the property values in Brookville will certainly increase while DA might not.


In conclusion, the arguer has not succeeded in providing compelling reasons and meticulous argumentation. The argument could be improved if the arguer could provide solid information about the causal relationship between the two areas. The argument could be further improved if the arguer could take into the difference between the conditions of today and seven years ago. Finally, if the arguer could consider the difference of the two areas, the argument could be more convincing.

First of all, the arguer fails to establish a causal relationship between the set of restrictions and the increase of property values in Brookville. The set of restrictions could be one factor that contributes to the striking increase of the average values in the community, but there is no clue that it is the key factor or even the sole one.

Second(first of all 对应的应该是secondly 和thirdly吧), the arguer unfairly assumes that all things are equal and stubborn in the seven yeas. However, this is not necessarily the case. Seven years is a long time span and a myriad of variables may affect the property values either in Brookville or in DA, The economic backgrounds, the consumption notion of the citizens and the population in the two regions of seven years ago and presently may differ conspicuously. Thus, even the restrictions have proved effect in Brookville, there is no guarantee that it will bring about the same results in DA. （用时间来让步之后再反驳，很好）
Third（同二）, there is a weak analogy between DA and Brookville. The arguer assumes that the two geographical regions are analogous or statistically comparable in all aspects. However, he (/she) fails to provide detail information to substantiate the conclusion. The conditions of the houses, the climates, the geographic conditions, the economic backgrounds and the world view of people in the two areas might not necessarily alike. For example, if houses in Brookville generally have a good (better) condition than DA, it is likely that the property values in Brookville will certainly increase while DA might not.
In conclusion, the arguer has not succeeded in providing compelling reasons and meticulous argumentation. The argument could be improved if the arguer could provide solid information about the causal relationship between the two areas. The argument could be further improved if the arguer could take into（感觉应该是用take into account） the difference between the conditions of today and seven years ago. Finally, if the arguer could consider the difference of the two areas, the argument could be more convincing
总的来说，很好，看了之后更加觉得自己很菜了。。。
