GMAT考试：Argument写作范文十七

　　The ***th*** of Perks ***mpany's bus***ess plan re***m***nds that funds currently spent on the employee be***fits package be r***irect*** *** either upgrade plant mach***ery *** build an additional plant. The ***th*** reasons that offer***g employees a ge***rous package of be***fits and ***centives year after year is no longer ***st-effective given current high u***mploy***nt rates， and that Perks can attract and keep ***od employees without such be***fits and ***centives. While this argu***nt has so*** ***rit， its ****** of reason***g requires close exam***ation.来历：测验大

　　To beg*** with， the ***th*** re***es on the reason***g that it is un***cessary *** pay relatively high wages dur***g periods of high u***mploy***nt bec***se the market will supply many ***od employees at lower rates of pay. While this reason***g may be sound *** a ge***ral sense， the part***ular ***dustry that Perks is ***volv*** *** may not be representative of u***mploy***nt levels ge***rally. It is possible that relatively few u***mploy*** people h**e the type of qua***f***ations that match job open***gs at Perks， if this is the case， the claim that it is easier now *** attract ***od employees at lower wages is ill-found***.

　　Se***ndly， the argu***nt re***es on the assumption that the ***st-effective***ss of a wage po***cy is determ****** solely by whatever wages a market can currently bear. This assumption overlooks the peripheral ***sts of r***uc***g *** e***m***at***g be***fits. F*** example， employee m***ale is ***kely *** dec****** if Perks e***m***ates be***fits； as a resu***， so*** employees ***uld be****** less productive， and others might quit. Even if Perks can readily replace those employees， tra******g ***sts and lower producti***ty associat*** with high turnover may outweigh any advantages of r***irect***g funds *** plant ***nstruction. M***eover， bec***se the re***m***nd*** r***uction *** be***fits is ***tend*** *** fund the retrofitt***g of an entire plant *** the build***g of a ***w o***， the r***uction would presumably be a sizable o***； ***nsequently， the turnover ***sts associat*** with the r***uction might be very high ***de***.来历：测验大

　　In ***nclusion， this argu***nt is not ***n***nc***g， s***ce it unfairly assu***s that a broad employ***nt statist*** app***es *** o*** specif*** ***dustry， and s***ce it ign***es the disadvantages of imple***nt***g the plan. A******d***gly， I would suspend judg***nt about the re***m***ndation until the ***th*** ***ws that u***mploy***nt *** Parks' ***dustry is high and until the ***th*** produces a th***ough ***st-be***fit analysis of the propos*** plan.

　　In this argu***nt the ***th*** ***ncludes that the Easy Cr***it ***mpany would ga*** several advantages over its ***mpeti***rs by donat***g a p***tion of its profits *** a well-known en***ron***ntal ***ganization *** exchange f*** the use of the ***ganization's lo*** on their cr***it card. The ***th*** reaches this ***nclusion on the basis of a recent poll that ***ws widespread pub***c ***ncern about en***ron***ntal issues. Among the advantages of this po***cy， the ***th*** f***esees an ***crease *** cr***it card use by exist***g cus******rs， the abi***ty *** charge higher ***terest rates， and the abi***ty *** attract ***w cus******rs. While the ***th***'s argu***nt has so*** ***rit， it suffers from two crit***al problems.来历：测验大

　　To beg*** with， the ***th*** assu***s that the en***ron***ntal ***ganization whose lo*** is sought is ***ncer***d with the sa*** en***ron***ntal issues about wh***h the poll ***ws widespread ***ncern. However， the ***th*** pro***des no e***dence that this is the case. It is possible that very few cr***it-card users are ***ncer***d about the issues that are the ***ganization's areas of ***ncern； if so， then it is u***ikely that the ***ganization's lo*** would attract much bus***ess f*** the Easy Cr***it ***mpany.来历：测验大

　　Next， the ***th*** assu***s that the pub***c's ***ncern about en***ron***ntal issues will resu*** *** its tak***g steps *** do so***th***g about the problem—*** this case， *** use the Easy Cr***it ***mpany cr***it card. This assumption is unsupp***t*** and runs ***ntrary *** experience. Also， it is m***e reasonable *** assu*** that people who are ***ncer***d about a part***ular c***se will choose a m***e direct ***ans of express***g their ***ncern.来历：测验大

　　In ***nclusion， the ***th***'s argu***nt is un***n***nc***g as it stands. To strengthen the argu***nt， the ***th*** must ***w a po***ive ***nk between the en***ron***ntal issues about wh***h the pub***c has express*** ***ncern and the issues with wh***h this part***ular en***ron***ntal ***ganization is ***ncer***d. In addition， the ***th*** must pro***de e***dence *** supp***t the assumption that ***ncern about a problem will c***se people *** do so***th***g about the problem.
