The author of Mason City newspaper excerpt concludes that government increase its budget for improvements to the public owned lands along the Mason River in order to increase the recreational use of the river. To justify this conclusion the author points out that the residents seldom use the nearby Mason River for any kind of recreational activity, but they like enjoy themselves on the river before; the author also points out that some residents says that the water is not clean and this is the reason that people did not do water sports in the river. I find this argument specious on several grounds.
At the very beginning, the author fails to give the reasons why the residents does not use the nearby Mason River for any kind of recreational activity, however, there may be many other likelihood that make people reduce their time in the river. May be it is winter now, and it is so cold that people enjoy staying home rather than exercise in the river, or may be their is a new gymnasium nearby so people choose to enjoy themselves there.
In the second place, even though it is because of the pollution, and government pay a lot of money into the project of clear up the river, after a few moths or years, the river is clean enough for fun, I do not know if people still like these exercise such as swimming, fishing, and boating in the river, maybe they have cultivate other interest and do not like these.
In the third place, there are still some problems about the survey the author gives. He says that the people under the investigate claim that the water exercise is a favorite form of creation, however, he did not prove the people he asked is the majority of the residents instead of a small group.
In conclusion, the author's argument is unpersuasive. To strengthen it the author must provide more convincing evidence that survey is represent most of the residents near the river and they are all like the water sports, and because of the pollution, they reduce their time in the water.
