TOPIC: ARGUMENT216 - The following appeared in a magazine article about planning for retirement.

"Because of its spectacular natural beauty and consistent climate, Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire. As a bonus, housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year, and real estate taxes remain lower than those in neighboring towns. Nevertheless, Clearview's mayor promises many new programs to improve schools, streets, and public services. Retirees in Clearview can also expect excellent health care as they grow older, since the number of physicians in the area is far greater than the national average."

The author claims that Clearview should be a top choice for any one seeking a place to retire, for the reasons that housing costs and real estate taxes are low  , the schools streets and public services are promised to be improved and the health care is excellent. But careful examination reveals several flaws of the argument in some aspects and the claim is not persuasive.

First, the author unfairly concludes that the hosing costs and real estate taxes in Clearview is low . For one hand, the fact that housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year does not indicate surely decline falling for every year, and the price of housing cost is not provides, so it is possible that the price of house is high and will not fall in future. For the other, that the taxes is lower than those in neighboring towns does not strong support that the tax in Clearview is low and desirable. Thus, further information should be cited to substantiate that the housing cost and taxes in Clearview is low to be attractive.

Moreover, the author assumes that the public services and schools streets will be improved, based on the promise of Clearview's mayor. Since the equal possibility that the promise will not put into practice is ignored, it is not necessary that schools streets and public services will be improved. Besides, no data of the current conditions of public services of Clearview is offered, it is possible that the conditions will not be well enough to be attractive even it were improved. Therefore, it is  presumptuous to claim the improvement to be attractive.

The last, it is questionable to claim that the Clearview provides excellent health care. The author considers the excellent health care ascribing to the greater number of physicians in the area than national average, ignoring the quality of the physicians and the apparatus provided in local hospitals which is more significant to evaluate  health care. As a result, it is not cogent to claim that retirees in Clearview can expect excellent health care in Clearview.

To sum up, the author unconvincingly claims that Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire, based on the problematic evidence that the housing cost and real estate taxes is low, schools streets and public services will be improved and excellent health care is provides. Thus, the argument is unpersuasive if no further information is offered.

The author claims that Clearview should be a top choice for any one（anyone） seeking a place to retire, for the reasons that housing costs and real estate taxes are low  , the schools streets and public services are promised to be improved and the health care is excellent. But careful examination reveals several flaws of the argument in some aspects and the claim is not persuasive.

First, the author unfairly concludes that the hosing(housing) costs and real estate taxes in Clearview is low . For one hand, the fact that housing costs in Clearview have fallen significantly during the past year does not indicate surely decline falling for every year, and the price of housing cost is not provides(provided), so it is possible that the price of house is high and will not fall in future. For the other(hand), that the taxes is lower than those in neighboring towns does not strong support that the tax in Clearview is low and desirable（这个理由不错，没想到）. Thus, further information should be cited to substantiate that the housing cost and taxes in Clearview is low to be attractive.

Moreover, the author assumes that the public services and schools streets will be improved, based on the promise of Clearview's mayor. Since the equal possibility that the promise will not put into practice is ignored, it is not necessary that schools streets and public services will be improved. Besides, no data of the current conditions of public services of Clearview is offered, it is possible that the conditions will not be well enough to be attractive even it were improved. Therefore, it is presumptuou(这个词好严重。。。)s to claim the improvement to be attractive.

The last, it is questionable to claim that the Clearview provides excellent health care. The author considers the excellent health care ascribing to the greater number of physicians in the area than national average, ignoring the quality of the physicians and the apparatus provided in local hospitals which is more significant to evaluate  health care. As a result, it is not cogent to claim that retirees in Clearview can expect excellent health care in Clearview.

To sum up, the author unconvincingly claims that Clearview should be a top choice for anyone seeking a place to retire, based on the problematic evidence that the housing cost and real estate taxes is low, schools streets and public services will be improved and excellent health care is provides（还是被动）.（这个地方的理由与第一段重复了） Thus, the argument is unpersuasive if no further information is offered.
