TOPIC: ARGUMENT161 - In a study of reading habits of Leeville citizens conducted by the University of Leeville, most respondents said they preferred literary classics as reading material. However, a follow-up study conducted by the same researchers found that the type of book most frequently checked out of each of the public libraries in Leeville was the mystery novel. Therefore, it can be concluded that the respondents in the first study had misrepresented their reading habits.


In this argument, the author makes a conclusion that more citizens are inclined to read mystery instead of library classics. Through the respondents in the study prefer literary, classics as reading material, anther indication from a follow-up study is that more mystery books are checked out of each of the public libraries. However, the argument is based on the unsubstantiated reasoning and a complete lack of evidence and should be rejected.

In the first place, there is no meaningful and specific information of the result of the first study. We can suspect whether the respondents are representative, how old they are, and what are their cultural background. So the author fails to point out that these citizens presented in the survey are more keen on the literary classics and nor that they indeed misrepresented their reading habits.


Secondly, even assuming that the phenomenon of the literary classics becoming the favorite among the public is believable, there is no supporting proof of the correlation between the increasing trend to liberty classics choicer and the mystery novel checked out of each of the public libraries. Perhaps the people in the first survey do not have the habit of spending time on the library. More choices such as purchasing books in the bookstores, reading on the Internet could be done.

Finally, even if the individuals in the first survey go to the library usually, we cannot conclude that the users of the mystery books are included in the first study. So without convincing evidence, there is no support of the idea of misleading habits.


In summary, no evidence is offered to establish the cause and effect relationship between two results from the above two studies. Additionally, the research about the common people of reading habits should be taken.

Secondly, (一般开头的关联词用一个形式的比较好，如firstly, secondly...)even assuming that the phenomenon of the literary classics becoming the favorite among the public is believable, there is no supporting proof of the correlation between the increasing trend to liberty(literary) classics choicer(?) and the mystery novel checked out of each of the public libraries. Perhaps the people in the first survey do not have the habit of spending time on the library. More choices such as purchasing books in the bookstores, reading on the Internet could be done.

Finally, even if the individuals in the first survey go to the library usually, we cannot conclude that the users of the mystery books are included in the first study. So without convincing evidence, there is no support of the idea of misleading habits.(这点要深化吧。。)


In summary, no evidence is offered to establish the cause and effect relationship between two results from the above two studies. Additionally, the research about the common people of reading habits should be taken.（这个结论那里来的？）
