Argument216(2005年2-9月总频21次)
The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.
"Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."
【提纲】
1 no evidence is aviable to illustrate the spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate is the only factors considered by the retiring

2 房价下降不代表房价低,基数是多少?而且不代表未来不会涨 地产税也是同样的道理 if真的房价低,那可能clearview的经济不太发达 social security criminal rate 作者忽视了其他city也有类似条件
3 改善学校、街道不是老人最关心的 这些和养老关系不大 承诺的新方案是否可行
4 the number of physicans can not illustrate the professional techniques’ level
【正文】
The natural beauty and consistent climate, the fallen housing costs and low estate taxes and the mayor's new projects all exemplifies the recommendation of choosing Clearview as a place to retire. This argument is well-presented, but not well-reasoned.
First of all, no evidence is available to illustrate the spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate is the unique factors considered by people to choose a place to retire. The author fails to take account of other factors which may influence the choice of people, such as recreational places, social security and so forth. Perhaps whether some retiring people have settled in Clearview might be a piece of significant information for choosing Clearview because old people are more concerned about if the peers would choose Clearview. Thus in order to cogently recommend Clearview the author needs to quote a satisfactory Clearview condition survey to demonstrate the correctness of choose it.
In addition, the author unfairly assumes that fallen housing cost is a symbol of low housing costs. The base of housing costs is unknown so the housing costs might be higher than other houses. Even if the house costs in Clearview is low and the estate taxes remain lower than the neighboring towns' houses, the author also neglects that there may be similar conditions in other cities. Otherwise, if the housing cost is indeed lower than the neighboring cities, there is an entire possibility that the economy of Clearview is under development. Although the economy level is not the most important fact the people concern, the undeveloped economy might have more social problems and high criminal rate, which make people absent of the sense of security. Without considering and ruling out such possibilities, the author's recommendation is untenable.
Besides the new programs to improve schools and streets contributes little support to the recommendation because the old people are not inclined to concern about such things. As is known to all, the retiring people tend to care the healthy community environment and medical service and so on. Moreover the author does not provide any evidence to guarantee the feasibility of such new projects and tell us the specific measures taken by the mayor. Thus this fact could not strengthen the author's recommendation.
Last but not the least, the number of physicians can not substantiate the professional techniques level of the local physicians and excellent health care. The author unfairly assumes the quantity could represent the quality. Whether the physicians are professional or not is determined by many factors. For example, whether the physician has a professional diploma and license and has abundant experience. Also except professional standards, the moral criterion is equally vital to an excellent doctor. Lacking of consideration of these facts, it is unreasonable to conclude that excellent health care is offered to the retirees in Clearview.
In summary, this recommendation is deficient in logic. Unless the author could provide more detailed evidence to substantiate the correctness of choose Clearview, such as the social security is warranted, the former residents are satisfied with the environment of Clearview, or it is difficult for people to accept his or her recommendation.
