In this argument, the arguer recommends that writers should acquire writing experience and training for television rather than for print media to balance their income. This recommendation is based on the observation that a recent study showed that people make an average of 23 reference to watching television and only 1 reference to reading fiction in people daily conversation. In several aspects, however, the evidence lends little reliable support for the argument.

A threshold assumption upon which the recommendation relies is that fiction could represent complete publishing and bookselling. As we kwon the difference between part and entirety may help to bring about a different result. However, there exists fundamental difference between them. It is true that numbers people range from old to young like to read fiction, for they may romantic or thrilling, but there exist gulf: fiction is just one type of publishing and bookselling, even occupy little share of consumers in compared with others contain technology, science or compute publishing. What is more, with the development of society, people become more and more particular, one worldwide survey reported that the time one spend on reading books relative to one’s job is growing year by year. Without accounting for the gulf between singularity and whole body to assume publishing and bookselling will decline in unreasonable.

Secondly, the arguer establish a false relationship between the fact that reference watching television and really watch television, moreover, their argument, nonetheless, is based on an oversimplify analysis of the cause of such appearance. Actually, it is entirely possible that one or more other factors responsible for this appearance, perhaps president or movie stars or famous singing group came here and turn up on the televisions, by which may lead to a soar of number spectators and people talk about television nonetheless, when fad fade away people may turn back to books or their favorable fiction in particular. Without ruling out such alternative explanation the arguer cannot convince me such recommendation.

Even above follow what the argument describe, however, this is unnecessarily for writers to take training and experience in writing for television. This is because readers tend to books result of their unique extents, an science fiction writer must own endless imagine, and a fiction making also require acme to society detail, moreover, a scientist should pay all one’s attention to his/her research area, by which can publish success work and attract readers. If under arguer recommendation the consumers may decline instead of ascend. Furthermore, with the develop of society, compute become more and more popular which lead to numbers people find information in internet, moreover, they can read fiction in internet as well, however, such fiction is based on publishing. Since the arguer fails to think about key factors to attract readers the argument conclusion is unwarranted.

In sum, the argument is unpersuasive as it stands, to strengthen it the argument’s proponent must provide evidence that other factors. What is more, before any final decision is made we should evaluate all possible alternatives and causes.
