2012GRE备考:GRE作文范文大全(128)
First of all, the speaker ignores the possibility that replacing less popular books with more
copies of popular new novels will undermine the library's primary function as a repository of a
wide variety of books for free public access. New books are available at bookstores, whereas
220
older, less popular ones are not. Thus the library might lose the patronage of a large
percentage of the community should it adopt the plan.
Secondly, the speaker unfairly implies that the library has only two options: to maintain the
status quo or to follow the proposed plan. Some other alternative---one that wou,Ud appease
protesters while preserving community support--might provide an optimal long-term solution.
For example, perhaps the library can remove books that have not been borrowed for three
years or for five years, rather than for one year. Although this alternate plan would free up less
shelf space than the current plan, it would nevertheless make room for the most popular new
books.
Finally, the mere fact that only thirty people have protested the plan accomplishes litde
toward supporting the speaker's argument--for two reasons. First, this statistic is scant
evidence that the community at large would support the plan; it is entirely possible that many
opponents have simply not voiced their opposition. Second, the thirty protesters might very
well be in a position to influence many other people; or they might be among the library's most
significant financial patrons. In either event, ignoring these protesters might result in the
ultimate loss of community or financial support the library needs to thrive, or even survive. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全(128) 》一文,出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
