新gre作文:GRE作文范文大全(99)
In conclusion, the recommendation is not well supported. To convince me that the proposed
restriction would achieve the desired outcome, the author would have to assure me that no
changes serving to increase Balmer's moped-pedestrian accident rate will occur in the
foreseeable future. The author must also provide dear evidence that last year's decline in
moped accidents in Torseau was attributable primarily to its moped rental restrictions rather
than to one or more other factors. In order to better evaluate the recommendation, I would
need more information comparing the supply of and demand for moped rentals on the two
islands. I would also need to know the rate of mopedpedestrian accidents in Torseau both prior
to and after the restrictions were enforced in Torseau.
Argument 19
The following appeared in a memo from the new vice president of Sartorian, a company that
manufactures men's clothing.
"Five years ago, at a time when we had difficulties in obtaining reliable supplies of high-quality
wool fabric, we discontinued production of our deluxe alpaca overcoats. Now that we have a
new fabric supplier, we should resume production. This coat should sell very well: since we
have not offered an alpaca overcoat for five years and since our major competitor no longer
makes an alpaca overcoat, there will be pent-up customer demand. Also, since the price of
most types of clothing has risen in each of the past five years, customers should be willing to
pay significantly higher prices for alpaca overcoats than they did five years ago, and our
company profits will increase."
In this memo the vice president of Sartorian, a clothing manufacturer, argues that by resuming
production of alpaca (wool) overcoats, after discontinuing production of these coats five years
159
ago due to an unreliable alpaca supply, Sartorian would increase its profits. To support this
argument the vice president points out that Sartorian now has a new fabric supplier, and
reasons that since Sartorian's chief competitor has discontinued making these coats there
must be pent-up consumer demand for them which Sartorian would fill. The vice president also
reasons that, since overall dothing prices have risen in each of the last five years, consumers
will be willing to pay higher prices for Sartorian's alpaca coats. I find the argument specious in
several respects. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全(99) 》一文,出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
