In this letter, the speaker asserts that Grove should continue using EZ Disposal, rather than switching to ABC Waste. At first glance, the argument appears to be somewhat convincing, but I find it problematic in several respects after a close examination.
To begin with, the arguer points out that EZ has had the contract for trash collection services in Grove for as long as ten years, so it is quite possible that citizens of Grove, the arguer may included, know little about ABC.应该及早说明作者逻辑错误 The mere fact that ABC collects only once per week hardly suffices to inform us how well ABC is in trash collection.应该ABC好的可能性,这说反了 Except for frequency of trash collection, there are still many factors which should be considered to evaluate a waste collection company, such as the technology it adopts.下面3段都在说ez 可能不如abc, 但它们都以应包含在本句的there are still many factors中 Perhaps the ABC utilizes the crane to lift the dustbin to pour rubbish to the truck应对truck这一细节做一完整交代,while EZ just uses manpower.
Secondly, one advantage of EZ over ABC is that the former collects trash one more time than the latter. Then however, does it make sense to take an additional collection? Will the town benefit from it? Yet obviouslyit is not necessarily the case. Provided that landfill of Grove is well managed原文中没有说明well managed, causing no problem of environment contamination, then collect only once is suffice原文中也没有is suffice. On the contrary, EZ’ twice collection may reveal its low efficiency. Nobody would like to hire low efficient company just for an additional task service which is nearly unnecessary.
The fact that EZ has orderedowned more trucks lends no strongconvincing support to the assumption that it is better than ABC. No information is offered when the trucks will be received.besides Common sense tells us that the later the delivery date, the less significant this factor should be in Grove’s decision. Even if EZ receives the new trucks as soon as possiblein the near future, there is tono evidence to show that the company will make use of them to collect garbage for Grove. Perhaps EZ will use them to serve another town, in order to enlarge its business.
Last but not the least, the survey cited here is too vague to be informative. As mentioned above, people of Grove may know little about ABC, so it is quite possible that they respond without comparing the two companies. Moreover, as the speaker states, the survey was conduced last year, but the fee is raised recently, so, are the respondents still satisfied with EZ’s performance despite of the higher price? The argument gives no sign.
In sum, as it stands, the argument is not well reasoned. Only after close and detailed comparison and evaluation of the two companies can Grove town determine with which corporation to contract. |
