Argument 2
The following appeared in a letter sent by a committee of  homeowners from the Deerhaven Acres to all homeowners in Deerhaven Acres. "Seven years ago, homeowners in nearby Brookville community adopted a set of restrictions on how the community's yards should be landscaped and what colors the exteriors of homes should be painted. Since then, average property values have tripled in Brookville. In order to raise property values in Deerhaven Acres, we should adopt our own set of  restrictions landscaping and housepainting."
_______________________________________

In this letter, the committee of homeowners from Deerhaven Acres recommends that in order to raise the property values in Deerhaven Acres, they should adopt their set of restrictions on landscaping and housepainting. To support the recommendation, the author cites an example of a nearby community Brookvile who adopted the restrictions seven years ago and then the average property values have tripled. However, in my view, the argument does not hold water.

To begin with, the author fails to consider other factors leading the Brookville community's property value raising. The author merely tells us the adopting of restrictions on how the community's yards should be landscape and what colors the exteriors of homes should be painted, but no more information of the community during the seven years is supported. It is entirely possible that the raising of the proverty value is the result of the better service in community or the development of the district. Accordingly, the committee could not draw any confirm conclusion about the effect of the restrictions adopted in Brookville.

Secondly, the author fails to consider the reflection of the residents in Brookville towards the restrictions of the landscaping and housepainting. It is entirely possible that the residents did not care much about the restriction, or even opposed it, but due to the superiority in other respects of the community, they continued living there. Without accounting for these details, I am not convinced by the author's recommendation.

Thirdly, even assuming that the Brookvile's rising property values are attributed to implementation of the restrictions and the residents there favor it, it does not mean that the same restrictions in Deerhaven Acres would bring about the same result. In fact, people's conception may dramatically vary after seven years that they may not be interested in the home's exterior appearance. For that matter, the Deerhaven Acres would not raise property values by merely implementing the restrictions.

In conclusion, the author's recommendation is ill-grounded. We still require more convincing evident and information to evaluate the argument.

B1优点太模板化了！整个B1就一句： hold water（？？什么意思啊？）
三个点都考虑道了，但是B3优点擦边，既然原文中是adopt … should..就应改看到底有没有执行，而且B3因改在B2之前吧，先考虑是否执行了，然后才是他因吧！
