题目：ARGUMENT11 - The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of West Egg.

"Two years ago, our consultants predicted that West Egg's landfill, which is used for garbage disposal, would be completely filled within five years. During the past two years, however, town residents have been recycling twice as much aluminum and paper as they did in previous years. Next month the amount of material recycled should further increase, since charges for garbage pickup will double. Furthermore, over ninety percent of the respondents to a recent survey said that they would do more recycling in the future. Because of our residents' strong commitment to recycling, the available space in our landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted."

The author of this argument try to persuade us to believe that the available space in West Egg's (WE) landfill should last for considerably longer than predicted. As a university student who has the common logical ability, I will never believe him/her because so many logical problems appear in this argument.

The conclusion author makes is based on one important precondition: The residents' commitment to recycling is strong. However, I cannot find any evidence in the argument that recycling can help decreasing of garbage disposal. In my opinion, the recycling garbage is only a part,and we still have a lot of garbage which cannot be recycled. So it is highly possible that although the material recycling increased, the amount of the garbage increased too. So those which cannot be recycled may become a big threaten to the author's conclusion, for those garbage may appear so much that the landfill will be filled within only 3 or 4 years.

Even if we admit that the raise of recycling can help decreasing the amount of garbage, I can not draw any conclusion that the residents' commitment is real strong through this memo. The simple survey tells us nothing about the residents' thought of the recycling because as we know, the respondents are always those who really care the environment. So maybe most of the residents' have no idea about the recycling. Or even those who said would do more recycling in the future will eat their words because they do not have the times or vigor to do the recycling things in the future. The examples author give above are also strange: the increasing rate of recycling aluminum and paper may cause by the increasing amount of garbage. The charges will double, but I do not know why the author suggests that it will also increase the material recycling. For example, maybe the residents in WE are all wealthy so they will never care about the charges, or perhaps they can choose other ways to dispose the garbage such as burn them or just throw them away. So the residents in WE maybe no longer care about the recycling so the landfill will still soon be full.

In sum, although the author gives us a lot of information about why the landfill will last longer, he/she fails to persuade me. Maybe the author will soon change his/her mind or just reconsider about the conclusion after reading this argument.

As a university student who has the common logical ability, I will never believe him/her because so many logical problems appear in this argument.(不是提纲，而是模式化的词汇组合可以使我们迅速清晰的表达思想)

The conclusion （the）author makes is based on one important precondition: The residents' commitment to recycling is strong. However, I cannot find any evidence in the argument that recycling can help decreasing of garbage disposal. In my opinion, the recycling garbage is only a part,and we still have a lot of garbage which cannot be recycled. (很好，学习了~~)So it is highly possible that although the material recycling increased, the amount of the garbage increased too. So those which cannot be recycled may become a big threaten（threat / threaten/ threatening 三个词性比较） to the author's conclusion, for those garbage may appear so much that the landfill will be filled within only 3 or 4 years.

Even if we admit that the raise of recycling can help decreasing the amount of garbage, I can not draw any conclusion that the residents' commitment is real strong through this memo. The simple survey tells us nothing about the residents' thought of the recycling because as we know, the respondents are always those who really care the environment. So maybe most of the residents' have no idea about the recycling. Or even those who said would do more recycling in the future will eat their words (学习了~~~) because they do not have the times or vigor to do the recycling things in the future. The examples author give （注意冠词和单复数的使用，精益求精）above are also strange: the increasing rate of recycling aluminum and paper may cause by the increasing amount of garbage. The charges will double, but I do not know （比起不知道，直接说不充分会不会更有力）why the author suggests that it will also increase the material recycling. For example, maybe the residents in WE are all wealthy so they will never care about the charges, or perhaps they can choose other ways to dispose the garbage such as burn （burning）them or just throw(throwing) them away. So the residents in WE maybe no longer care about the recycling so the landfill will still soon be full.

In sum, although the author gives us a lot of information about why the landfill will last longer, he/she fails to persuade me. Maybe the author will soon change his/her mind or just reconsider about the conclusion after reading this argument.（这个，这样说不太好吧~~哈哈~~）
