Without ruling out these and other alternative explanations for the three recent trends in
Ocean View, the mayor cannot reasonably infer based on those trends that Hopewell's
economy would benefit by following Ocean View's example.
Thirdly, even if the recent trends in Ocean View are attributable to the construction of the new
golf course and hotel there, the mayor assumes too hastily that the golf course and hotel will
continue to benefit that town's overall economy. The mayor has not accounted for the
possibility that increased tourism will begin to drive residents away during tourist season, or
that new business development will result in the town's losing its appeal as a place to visit or to
live. Unless the mayor can convince me that these scenarios are unlikely I cannot accept the
mayor's recommendation that Hopewell follow Ocean View's example.
Finally, the mayor's argument rests on the unsubstantiated assumption that Hopewell and
Ocean View are sufficiently alike in ways that might affect the economic impact of a new golf
course and hotel. Hopewell might lack the sort of natural environment that would attract more
tourists and new businesses to the town--regardless of its new golf course and hotel. For that
matter, perhaps Hopewell already contains several resort hotels and golf courses that are not
utilized to their capacity. If so, building yet another golf course and hotel might amount to a
misallocation of the town's resources--and actually harm the town's overall economy.
In sum, the mayor's recommendation is not well supported. To bolster it the mayor must
provide better evidence that Ocean View's new golf course and hotel and not some other
phenomenon--has been responsible for boosting Ocean View's economy during the last two
years. To better assess the recommendation I would need to know why Ocean View decided
165
to construct its new golf course and hotel in the first place--specifically, what events prior to
construction might have prompted that decision. I would also need to thoroughly compare
HopeweU with Ocean View--especially in terms of their appeal to tourists and businesses--to
determine whether the same course of action that appears to have boosted Ocean View's
economy would also boost Hopewell's economy.
Argument 24
The following appeared in a memo from the chairperson of the school board in the town of
Saluda.
"For the past five years, Mr. Charles Schade has been the music director at Steel City High
School, and during that time the school band from Steel City High has won three regional band
competitions. In addition, the quality of the music rehearsal facilities and musical instruments
at Steel City High has improved markedly over the past five years. Because of such successes
at Steel City High, the Saluda school board should hire Mr. Schade to plan and direct the
general music education programs for the entire Saluda school system." 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全（102） 》一文，出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
