题目
Argument220 The following appeared in an article in a magazine for writers.

"A recent study showed that in describing a typical day's conversation, people make an average of 23 references to watching television and only 1 reference to reading fiction. This result suggests that, compared with the television industry, the publishing and bookselling industries are likely to decline in profitability. Therefore, people who wish to have careers as writers should acquire training and experience in writing for television rather than for print media."

翻译：
最近一次研究显示当描述日常对话的时候，人们平均有23次提到看电视而只有一次提到读小说。这一结果说明与电视行业相比，出版和书籍销售行业的盈利能力可能会下降。因此，想要以作家为职业的人应该接受为电视而不是为印刷媒体写作的训练和经验。

**********************************************************
提纲
（1）研究缺乏足够的信息。
（2）被提到的少不等于人们就真的很少读小说，而且小说只是整个书籍行业的一小部分。
（3）即使电视行业赢利很多，分给作家的不一定多。而且，为什么写作不能单考虑利润的，也要考虑兴趣、爱好等等。

正文
In this argument, the arguer asserts that the publishing and bookselling industries will decline in profitability and suggests writers to acquire training and experience in writing for television rather than for print media. He supports his assertion and suggestion only by a recent study. His opinion seems reasonable, but suffers from several flaws as follows.

First of all, the study, which is the only evidence of the arguer, lacks enough information to be strong evidence. How was the study made? How many people took part in the study? Under what circumstance was the study made? Could the samples represent all the people? And etc. It is possible that the conversations of the study mainly talked about the TV programs, then it is general that those people involved in the study referred to watching television much more times. Consequently, unless all the questions above have been answered, the study's result cannot be used as support to the arguer's conclusion.

Secondly, granted that the study's result can be evidence, we cannot conclude people are not like to read fiction and the publishing industry will be obsolete. One possible reason for people's performance that refer to television more frequently is that television program is a more easy and common topic for people talking about. In addition, referring to reading fiction less is not equal to the fact that they really seldom read fiction. It is totally possible that people are just reluctant to tell others. What is more, fiction is only a very small part of the whole publishing and bookselling industries, so even if fiction was not popular as before, the publishing and bookselling industries could still be very flourish.

Last but not the least, even if television industry can make more profits, the money given to writers is not sure to be high. Since there are many departments in television industry, writers are only a very small part. So it is very possible that writing for television earn less than writing for print media. Moreover, writing not only aims to earn money, but also depends on personal interesting or hobby.

To sum up, the evidence provided by the arguer is too weak to support his assertion and suggestion. To make his suggestion more convincing, he has to take the facets discussed above into account, that is, to invest the genuine situation of the publishing and bookselling industries and the incoming difference between writing for television and writing for print media.
