2、 the speed limit for vehicles traveling on the region's highways by ten miles per hour. Since that change took effect, the number of automobile accidents in that region has increased by 15 percent. But the speed

3、limit in Elmsford, a region neighboring Forestville, remained unchanged, and automobile accidents declined slightly during the same six-month period. Therefore, if the citizens of Forestville want to reduce the numbe

4、r of automobile accidents on the region's highways, they should campaign to reduce Forestville's speed limit to what it was before the increase.6 分： The agrument is well-presented, but not thoroughly well-reason

5、ed. By making a comparison of the region of Forestville, the town with the higher speed limit and therefore automobile accidents, with the region of Elmsford, an area of a lower speed limit and subsequently fewer acci

6、dents, the argument for reducing Forestville's speed limits in order to decrease accidents seems logical.However, the citizens of Forestville are failing to consider other possible alternatives to the increasing ca

7、r accidents after the raise in speed limit. Such alternatives may include the fact that there are less reliable cars traveling the roads in Forestville, or that the age bracket of those in Elmsford may be more conduci

8、ve to driving safely. It is possible that there are more younger, inexperienced, or more elderly, unsafe drivers in Forestville than there are in Elmsford. In addition, the citizens have failed to consider the geogr

9、aphical and physical terrain of the two different areas. Perhaps Forestville's highway is in an area of more dangerous curves, sharp turns, or has many intersections or merging points where accidents are more lik

10、ely to occur. It appears reasonable, therefore, for the citizens to focus on these trouble spots than to reduce the speed in the entire area. Elmsford may be an area of easier driving conditions where accidents are

11、less likely to occur regardless of the speed limit.A six-month period is not a particularly long time frame for the citizens to determine that speed limit has influenced the number of automobile accidents in the area.

12、 It is mentioned in the argument that Elmsford accidents decreased during the time period. This may have been a time, such as during harsh weather conditions, when less people were driving on the road and therefore t

13、he number of accidents decreased. However, Forestville citizens, perhaps coerced by employment or other requirements, were unable to avoid driving on the roads. Again, the demographics of the population are importa

14、nt. It is possible that Elmsford citizens do not have to travel far from work or work from their home, or do not work at all. Are there more people in Forestville than there were sic months ago? If so, there may be

15、an increased number of accidents due to more automobiles on the road, and not due to the increased speed limits. Also in reference to the activities of the population, it is possible that Forestville inhabitants were

16、traveling during less safe times of the day, such as early in the morning, or during twilight. Work or family habits may have encouraged citizens to drive during this time when Elmsford residents may not have been fo

17、rced to do so.Overall, the reasoning behind decreasing Forestville's speed limit back to its original seems logical as presented above since the citizens are acting in their own best interests and want to protect th

18、eir safety. However, before any final decisions are made about the reduction in speed limit, the citizens and officials of Forestville should evaluate all possible alternatives and causes for the increased number of

19、accidents over the six-month period as compared to Elmsford.This outstanding essay begins by noting that the argument “seems logical.“ It then proceeds to discuss possible alternative explanations for the increase in c

20、ar accidents and provides an -- A statistical analysis might suggest that the 15% increase inaccidents is not as significant as it might seem. -- A car safety education campaign might be a better way to solve theproblem.

21、 -- A six month period might be too short a time on which to base majorconclusions. -- Other factors could have caused the increase in accidents.Although each of these points is developed and sensibly supported, the crit

22、ique is not sufficiently full to warrant a score of 6. The essay demonstrates good control but not mastery of the elements of writing: it contains good variety in syntax, including effective use of rhetorical question

23、s. The occasional flaws (e.g., the somewhat garbled syntax in paragraph 3: “.??爐 ime for which to study the rate???“) do not detract from the overall strong quality of the essay. For all of these reasons, this criti

24、que is strong but not outstanding, and thus merits a score of 5.4、 At first look, this seems to be a very well presented arguement. A logical path is followed throughout the paragraph and the conclusion is expected.

25、 However, upon a second consideration, it is apparent that all possibilities were not considered when the author presented his conclusion (or at least that s/he did not present all of the possibilities). There are nume

26、rous potential explanations for why the number of accidents in Elmsford decreased while the number in Forestville increased. Although it seems logical to assume that the difference in the percentage of accidents was

27、due to the difference in whether or not the speed limit had been increased during the specified month, this does not necessarily mean that the speed limit should be reduced back to what it originally was in Forestville

28、. The author does not state two specific pieces of information that are important before a conclusion such as the one the author made is sound. The first is that it is not expressed whether the speed limits in the tw

29、o neighboring regions had had the same speed limit before Forestville's speed limit had been increased. If they had originally been the same, then it is reasonable to conclude that Forestville's speed limit sh

30、ould be reduced back to what it was before the increase. However, if the two region's speed limits were initially different, then such a conclusion can not be made. The second piece of information that is necessa

31、ry for the present argument is the relative number of accidents in each of the areas prior to the increase in speed limit. For the author to make the presented conclusion, the number of accidents should have been app

32、roximately equal prior to the increase in the speed limit in Forestville. If the two missing pieces of information had been presented and were in the author's favor, then the conclusion that the author made would

33、have been much more sound than it currently is. In conclusion, the argument is not entirely well reasoned, but given the information that was expressed in the paragraph, it was presented well, and in a logical order.

34、評價(jià) This competent critique claims that there are “numerous potential explanations for why the number of accidents in Elmsford decreased while the number in Forestville increased.“ However, the author discusses only tw

35、o points:-- whether the speed limits in the two regions were originally the same;and -- the number of accidents in each region prior to Forestville'sraising the speed limit.Although the essay appears at first to be w

36、ell developed, there is much less analysis here than the length would suggest. The first third and last third of the essay are relatively insubstantial, consisting mainly of general summary statements (e.g., “A logic

37、al path??? conclusion is expected“ and “If the two??? more sound than it currently is“). The real heart of the critique consists of minimal development of the two points mentioned above. Therefore, although two impor
