GRE寫作成為橫在中國學(xué)生的理想和現(xiàn)實(shí)之間的一大障礙,因此,如何攻克寫作這道屏障,成為擺在我們面前的首要任務(wù)。
    In conclusion, the letter's author fails to adequately support the recommendation that Cedar
    replace Good-Taste with Discount. To strengthen the argument, the author must provide clear
    evidence that Cedar employees are dissatisfied with Good-Taste's food, and that they would
    be more satisfied with Discount's food. To better evaluate the argument, we would need more
    information comparing the two companies' menus to determine which is more varied and
    caters to those with special dietary needs.
    Argument 68
    The following is a recommendation from the personnel director to the president of Acme
    Publishing Company.
    "Many other companies have recently stated that having their employees take the Easy Read
    Speed-Reading Course has greatly improved productivity. One graduate of the course was
    able to read a five-hundred-page report in only two hours; another graduate rose from an
    assistant manager to vice president of the company in under a year. Obviously, the faster you
    can read, the more information you can absorb in a single workday. Moreover, Easy Read
    costs only $500 per employee---a small price to pay when you consider the benefits to Acme.
    Included in this fee is a three-week seminar in Spruce City and a lifelong subscription to the
    Easy Read newsletter. Clearly, Acme would benefit greatly by requiring all of our employees to
    take the Easy Read course."
    In this argument, the personnel director of Acme Publishing claims that Acme would benefit
    greatly from improved employee productivity if every employee takes the 3-week Easy-Read
    seminar at a cost of $500 per employee. To support this daim the director points out that many
    other companies have daimed to benefit from the seminar, that one student was able to read a
    long report very quickly afterwards, and that another student saw his career advance
    significantly during the year after the seminar. However, close scrutiny of the evidence reveals
    that it accomplishes little toward supporting the director's claim, as discussed below.
    First of all, the mere fact that many other companies benefited greatly from the course does
    not necessarily mean that Acme will benefit similarly from it. Perhaps the type of reading on
    which the course focuses is not the type in which Acme Publishing employees often engage at
    work. Moreover, since Acme is a publishing company its employees are likely to be excellent
    readers already, and therefore might stand to gain far less from the course than employees of
    other types of companies.
    Secondly, the two individual success stories the argument cites amount to scant evidence at
    best of the course's effectiveness. Moreover, the director unfairly assumes that their
    accomplishments can be attributed to the course. Perhaps both individuals were outstanding
    readers before taking the course, and gained nothing from it. Regarding the individual whose
    career advanced after taking the course, any one of a myriad of other factors might explain
    that advancement. And the individual who was able to read a long report very quickly after the
    course did not necessarily absorb a great deal of the material.
    216
    Thirdly, the director assumes without warrant that the benefits of the course will outweigh its
    costs. While all of Acme's employees take the 3-week course, Acme's productivity might
    decline significantly. This decline, along with the substantial fee for the course, might very well
    outweigh the course's benefits. Without a complete cost-benefit analysis, it is unfair to
    conclude that Acme would benefit greatly should all its employees take the course. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(126) 》一文,出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
