离考试还有10天，I一直没有感觉，没有下手写，计划考前5，6天突击I，培养感觉。（虽然曾经制定过一个铁血计划，但由于时间和能力的原因，大大得没有完成）。最近把重点放在熟悉A题库，列A提纲上，这是一件很花时间的事。
今晚上写了第三篇A，第一次限时，结果第一次只写了281个字，第三段才刚开始写。然后歇了一会，第二次限时，还是同样的题目，终于在规定时间内写完了，不过字数是可怜的357个，不知道论证充分不，因为这些字里模板化的东西很少，所以字数上可能受到影响。先把第一次未修改的作品贴到这里吧。

TOPIC: ARGUMENT224 - The following appeared in a corporate planning memo at ABC Cereal Company, the makers of Better Bran cereal.

"Sales of Better Bran have declined in recent years, for reasons that management has now identified. First, Better Bran is a cereal with high sugar content, and recent research studies have found that most consumers say they are concerned about the amount of sugar added to their breakfast cereal. Second, the price of Better Bran has increased by 5 percent in each of the last three years. Therefore, to increase our company's profits we need to reduce the amount of sugar in Better Bran and lower Better Bran's price."
WORDS: 357          TIME: 00:30:00          DATE: 2009/7/13 20:52:34

In this argument, the author asserts that the declining sales of Better Bran is caused by its high sugar content and incresing price. Yet, the evidences he lists are weak to support this assertation.

Primarily, the author fails to prove that the high sugar content is charge for the decresing sales. In this argument, the author justs says that most consumers are concerened about sugar amount in their breakfast cereal, and no futher information tells us that Better Bran Cereal belongs breakfast food.Perhaps Better Bran Cereal is a kind of food which is exclusively eaten by people at night. Even if it is not true, that most consumers concern the sugar content doesn't mean that they won't eat food containing much sugar. For example, years ago, when I was trying to loss my weight, I concerned the calorie of each food I eat.But when I could control myself to eat hamburger from KFC, because I loved eating them very much.

Meanwhile, the increaing price may not lead to the decreasing sales of Better Bran Cereal. The author don't compare the price of most goods in the market. Perhaps with the economic development, it is normal that most goods has a high price than before, and people can accept the increasing price of Better Bran Cereal. So, without comparing  with the price of other goods especially the same kind of goods, we couldn't conclude that the increasing price results in declining sales.

In addition, that reducing the sugar content and lowering the price of Better Bran may not ensure the profits increase. As mentioned above, these two reasons may not cause the declining sales, there are many other factors may contributing to this outcome. Perhaps the former consumers don't like the taste of the Better Bran Cereal any more, or perhaps more competitors arise in the cereal market, some consumers eat other brands of cereal. We should find what is really caust the poor sales, then take the measures.

In sum, the author couldn't make us draw the same conclusion based on what he said. If he want to fortify his assertion, he should provide more cogent evidences.
