167. A folk remedy* for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia.
A folk remedy is usually a plant-based form of treatment common to
traditional forms of medicine, ones that developed before the advent of modern medical services and technology.
一种治疗失眠的偏方--薰衣草花香，现在被证明是有效的。在一次最近的调查中，30名患有慢性失眠的志愿者在三周之内每晚都在一个受监视的控制室内睡在带薰衣草花香的枕头上。在第一周，志愿者继续服用他们常用的安眠药。他们睡得很沉但醒来时很累。在第二周，他们不服用药物。结果与前一周相比他们睡得不那么沉并且感觉更累。在第三周，他们睡得比前两周时间长而且更深。这表明薰衣草在短时间内治愈了失眠。
结论：薰衣草在短时间内治愈了失眠。

Standing on the study, the wrong assumption that the symbol of chronic insomnia is the quality and the waken feeling , and at the same time, posting a unreasonable contrast of experiment, the arguer who wants to convince everybody that a folk remedy –lavender can cure insomnia presents a argument illogical.
Firstly, the assumption in this argument about chronic insomnia is the symbol of chronic insomnia. He/she can’t fall asleep during a long time after going to bed and even all over the night. While in this argument the arguer presents the symbol of chronic insomnia is whether one body sleep soundly and the waken feeling is tired or not. Obviously, there are some differences between the argument which emphasize the quality of sleep and the waken feeling and the common sense that pay attention to the sleeping time; so the arguer should do more work to know what is the chronic insomnia. However, even if the assumption about chronic insomnia is indeed what the arguer points out but in the last of the argument, he/she concluding the lavender cures insomnia makes a mistake. People share a belief that chronic insomnia is a kind of insomnia and it doesn’t equal to insomnia. The arguer underhand changes the definition of ailments.
Secondly, in the contrast, there are two flaws. In one hand, for the problem that whether the lavender can cure insomnia, the arguer does a study in different time. In another word, the arguer takes the result of the first week, the second week and the third week in to consideration. In this control, there may be other factors which influence the quality of sleeping and the waken feeling. For example, in different time the work pressure and life burden exist difference, at the same time the reason why volunteers sleep longer and more soundly may be that they are familiar with the lavender scent environment and have no relation to the lavender treatment.
On the other hand, for the problem that the chronic insomnia is cured by lavender pillow, medicine or the reaction of the two treatments; there is no control to explain. What is reasonable for the author to show the question is that there should be another two controls. One is that the volunteers who sleep only with lavender pillow while the other is that the volunteers just take medicine in the first week. It is a typical method in science to explain a problem.
To sum up, there are insufficient evidences in this argument to convince the lavender can cure chronic insomnia and the arguer just only consider one side of the lavender treatment. At the even worse, the argument seems logical if the arguer wants to demonstrate the conclusion. He/she should improve the above problem.

Standing on the study（故伎重演O(∩_∩)O~）, the wrong assumption that the symbol of chronic insomnia is the quality and the waken feeling , and at the same time, posting a（an） unreasonable contrast of experiment, the arguer who wants to convince everybody that a folk remedy –lavender can cure insomnia presents a argument illogical.
Firstly, the assumption in this argument about chronic insomnia is the symbol of chronic insomnia（？？？）. He/she can’t fall asleep during a long time after going to bed and even all over the night. While in this argument the arguer presents the symbol of chronic insomnia is whether one body（该表达欠妥， body 身体, 肉体,  尸体？……） sleep soundly and the waken feeling （有chinglish之嫌）is tired or not. Obviously, there are some differences between the argument which emphasize the quality of sleep and the waken feeling and the common sense that pay attention to the sleeping time（进入睡眠状态的时间，不是睡眠持续时间）; so the arguer should do more work to know what is the chronic insomnia. However, even if the assumption about chronic insomnia is indeed what the arguer points out but in the last of the argument, he/she concluding the lavender cures insomnia makes a mistake. People share a belief （这里算是用对了，表扬一下，发个大红花O~）that chronic insomnia is a kind of insomnia and it doesn’t equal to insomnia. The arguer underhand（似乎是个贬义词，慎用） changes the definition of ailments（慎用，表示小疾病）.

Secondly, in the contrast, there are two flaws. In one hand, for the problem that whether the lavender can cure insomnia, the arguer does a study in different time. In another word, the arguer takes the result of the first week, the second week and the third week in to consideration. In this control, there may be other factors which influence the quality of sleeping and the waken feeling. For example, in different time the work pressure and life burden exist difference, at the same time the reason why volunteers sleep longer and more soundly may be that they are familiar with the lavender scent environment and have no relation to the lavender treatment.

On the other hand, for the problem that the chronic insomnia is cured by lavender pillow, medicine or the reaction of the two treatments; there is no control （experiment） to explain (整句话虽然没有太大问题，但是太难读懂，表达不是很地道，如果我写，我会写作：The control experiment can not clearly indicate whether the chronic insomnia is cured by lavender pillow, or medicine , or the mixed effects.)What is reasonable for the author to show the question is that there should be another two controls. One is that the volunteers who sleep only with lavender pillow while the other is that the volunteers just take medicine in the first week. It is a typical method in science to explain a problem.

To sum up, there are insufficient evidences in this argument to convince the lavender can cure chronic insomnia and the arguer just only consider one side of the lavender treatment. At the even worse ，the argument seems logical if the arguer wants to demonstrate the conclusion. He/she should improve the above problem.


楼主遣词造句需要思考，练习sw专题是一个思路，但是不要对sw的东西不求甚解，不知其所以然。

不过，AW逻辑至上，你也需要思考逻辑问题。

加油↖(^ω^)↗
