A newstudy collected data that shows that people who snore are more likely to gainweight than are people who do not snore. It is well known that many people whosnore also stop breathing frequently during the night for a few seconds, acondition called sleep apnea. The interruption of breathing wakes theperson-often so briefly that the waking goes unnoticed-and can leave the persontoo tired during the day to exercise. Anyone who snores, therefore, should tryto eat less than the average person and to exercise more.

一项新的调查所收集的数据显示打呼噜的人比不打呼噜的人更容易长胖。我们知道很多打呼噜的人夜间也经常有数秒钟的呼吸停顿，这种现象被称为睡眠呼吸中断。这种呼吸的停顿导致本人醒来--通常十分短暂以至于不被察觉--并且会使本人在白天很累而无力锻炼。因此，所有打呼噜的人都应该比正常人少吃多锻炼。

In thisargument, the arguer concludes that people who snore are morelikely to gain weight than people who do not snore.Tosubstantiate the conclusion, the arguer points out that snorer suffer fromsleep apnea, which cause person too tired during the day to exercise. In thiscase, anyone who snores should try to eat less than the average person and toexercise more. This argument is unconvincing because it contains severalcritical flaws in logic.

First of all, itis possible that the study itself was flawed, for the study gives us less informationabout the study sample source and distribution. On the one hand, we all know thatgender, age and race will lead to difference in weight. I must say that only inthe same background can we make correct judgment. On the other hand, the snorerlifestyle, such as dietary and exercise habits, will deeply affect the weightchanges. May be some people gain weight is just because of unscientificlifestyle. Simple snoring does not of itself causing gain weight for people.

Second, the study says that manypeople who snore also stop breathing frequently during the night. The argument is no getbasis of proof offered. The arguer does not reveal the reasonsbetween snore and sleep apnea for the deep-seated.From a medicalpoint of view，asthma, lung disease, rhinitis and other diseases will alsolead to shortness of breath or even apnea. It is possible that snorer is asthmapatients. Therefore,we can not determine between the two is really related.

Third, thestudy claims that sleep apnea will make snorer too tired during the day to do exercises.This argumentation based on snore lead to stop breathing, which is not reallyrelated. We can fully convince that snore apnea is not the only reason to resultin less exercises. Insomnia, even hard work is also make peoplefeel too tired to do exercise.

Fourth,the study suggests that snorer should try to eat less than theaverage person and to exercise more. Let us assume that people who snore will reallygain weight and too tired to do exercise during the day. I regret to say thereis a clear logic error. If a person always have a bad night, he is likely to get sick but not gainweight. If a people always feel tire, how can he do exercise tocontrol his weight? In this condition, the right choice for a person is to a doctor.Otherwise, theauthor ignore considering whether the suggestion fits to everyone. It is sure thatsome people should eat less and do more exercise, but others do not need it. Incase all one follow this conclusion, someone will surely suffer from Hypoglycemiaor infirmity.

In summary,the argument fails due to three flaws in logic. First, it is not provide us fullyinformationso thatwe can not make a correct judgment. Second, there is many disease will lead to sleep apneaand tire. We can not make sure which one is the right reason. Third, the argumentmakesthe wrong recommendation, which shouldlead to disastrous results. To strengthen the argument andconclusion, the arguer should present evidence that between the snore and gain weightso that we can specifically prevent fat.
