Argu7
The author of the letter which is sent to the editor of the Clearview(CV) newspaper recommends that residents of CV should vote for Ann Green(AG),who is a member of the Good Earth Coalition (GEC), rather than Frank Braun(FB) who is a CV town council’s member. The author argues that the current CV town council fail to protect our environment. to support his statement , the author lists some cases such as doubled number of factory ,respiratory illness treated in local hospital being on the increase and the more serious pollution levels. However, careful consideration of these facts discloses that they are unable to sustain the author’s recommendation.

Firstly, the vacancy of original amount of factories makes it ambiguous to estimate the addition. It is likely that there was only one factory in CV before, and a new factory contributed to the 100% addition. Even if CV actually have many factories, the author do not lay out the relationship between those new factories and increased pollution levels. There are many other factors that can lead to the same result. For example, there are more cars than CV used to have, or air conditionings are widely used in CV, which product more Freon.

Like the discussion above, the augment of respiratory illness cannot show the absolute value. entirely possible that an infectious disease spreads in CV, which causes the increasing number of respiratory illness.

Secondly, even if air pollution levels have increased actually, and it is attributing to the factories newly constructed, no evidence is provided to show that CV town council is responsible to the circumstance. If it is true that the construction of new factories is promoted by CV town council, the author unfairly assumes that FB is attributing to the pollution too. Maybe FB is opposite to those decisions, and he is just lack of power to set back the process.

Finally, even if FB should be charged for the new factories and the pollution, it is unpersuasive that AG could be better in administering the environment than FB. Despite of being a member of GEC, AG may do not have the ability to deal with the pollution in CV, which needs more competence such as leadership or advisability. Even assuming that AG is favorable than FB, there may be other, even better, choices to solve the environmental problem CV encounters. And it is possible that those problems cannot be solved by voting for AG only; by many methods taken together can the problem settled.

In sum, the author should provide further facts that CV town council promote new factories and thus they bring about the pollution, which causing many respiratory illness to strength his statements. The author also needs to make it convincible that voting AG is the best solution towards the environmental problems. Without attestations about the flaws above, we cannot assess the recommendation accurately.
