    In conclusion, the argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen it the author must
    show that area residents can afford the new energy-efficient appliances and systems, and that
    area commercial demand for electricity will not increase significantly in the foreseeable future.
    In order to better evaluate the argument, we would need to know whether the new
    energy-efficient technologies are available to businesses as well, and whether area
    businesses plan to use them. We would also need more information about expected changes
    in the area's population, and about the condition and energy-efficiency of the three current
    electric power plants.
    Argument 94
    The following appeared in a memo from the human resources department of Rifco Computer
    Company to the company president.
    "In order to prevent conflicts in the workplace, Rifco Computer Company should require all its
    244
    employees to attend workshops that teach the technique of active listening, a technique in
    which people express feelings without assigning blame. This technique has clearly benefited
    Terland Publishing Company: five years ago, two hundred recently hired Terland employees
    volunteered to participate in a one-day active-listening workshop. Five years later, only five
    percent of these employees had filed formal complaints with the human resources department,
    whereas the company as a whole had a fifteen percent complaint rate during that period."
    This memo's author concludes that to prevent workplace conflicts at Rifco Computer all
    employees should attend active-listening workshops. To justify this conclusion the author
    points out that five years ago 200 new workers at Terland Publishing volunteered for a one-day
    active-listening workshop, and that since then only 5% percent of those volunteers have filed
    formal complaints with Terland's human-resources department, compared to 15% of Terland's
    overall work force. The argument is unconvincing for several reasons.
    First of all, the author assumes too hastily that the workshop at Terland, rather than some
    other phenomenon, was responsible for the comparatively low incidence of formal complaints
    by the workshop volunteers. Perhaps people who volunteer for such workshops tend to have
    better interpersonal skills to begin with, and are therefore less likely to find reason to complain
    about coworkers in any event. Moreover, a one-day "active listening'' workshop is unlikely to
    have a lasting impact; were the workshop held more recently I would be more willing to accept
    the proposition that it was the reason for the low incidence of complaints among its attendees. 感謝您閱讀《GRE作文范文大全(139) 》一文,出國(guó)留學(xué)網(wǎng)(liuxue86.com)編輯部希望本文能幫助到您。
