GRE作文备考：ARGUMENT习作范文（2）(2)

In addition, the author claims that plans to clean up Mason River has been announced, but this fact contribute little to support that recreational use of the river will increase. First, the plan has not yet been put into practice and it is entirely possible that it will never been put into practice for some other more urgent social problems that the city need to solve. Second, even if that water in the river can become clean in the future, it is not necessary that residents in Mason City will use the river more often. Perhaps they do not have enough time to play on the river although they expect to, for some reasons about their work or something else; or perhaps they are not interested in recreational use of the river at all.

　　Finally, even if that all the foregoing assumptions are justified, the argument still suffers from claiming that the city need to increase its budget for improvements to the publicly owned lands along the Mason River. The arguer shows no evidence that people use the river for recreational activities will to some extent complain about the lands along the river. Perhaps the lands is of enough high quality already. Lacking evidence that the lands need to be improved, I can not accept that increasing its budget for the lands is a must.

　　In sum, the conclusion reached in this argument is invalid and misleading. To make it logically acceptable, the arguer should have to demonstrate that most people complain about the quality of the water in Mason River and that the plans to clean up the river will soon be put into practice, leading to higher quality of water in the river. Moreover, I would suspend my judgment about the credibility of this argument until the author can provide more evidence about whether the lands of the river is of poor quality and need to be improved.
