12月18日是2016年的最后一場(chǎng)GRE考試,也是許多考生為了申請(qǐng)名校趕上DEADLINE的最后一搏背水之戰(zhàn),因此對(duì)不少同學(xué)來(lái)說(shuō)這是一場(chǎng)決不允許失敗的戰(zhàn)斗。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關(guān)于12月18日GRE作文機(jī)經(jīng)Argument的最新預(yù)測(cè),希望對(duì)大家有所幫助。
題目
The following appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Movies Galore, a chain of movie-rental stores.
"Because of declining profits, we must reduce operating expenses at Movies Galore's ten movie-rental stores. Raising prices is not a good option, since we are famous for our low prices. Instead, we should reduce our operating hours. Last month our store in downtown Marston reduced its hours by closing at 6:00 p.m. rather than 9:00 p.m. and reduced its overall inventory by no longer stocking any DVD released more than five years ago. Since we have received very few customer complaints about these new policies, we should now adopt them at all other Movies Galore stores as our best strategies for improving profits."
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.
題目翻譯
以下文字出自一連鎖電影租賃店--Movies Galore擁有者的備忘錄:
“由于利潤(rùn)下降,我們必須壓縮Movies Galore十家錄像租賃店的營(yíng)業(yè)開(kāi)支。漲價(jià)并不是一個(gè)好選擇,因?yàn)槲覀兪且虻蛢r(jià)而知名的。相比較我們應(yīng)該采取縮短營(yíng)業(yè)時(shí)間的策略。上個(gè)月我們位于Marston鬧市區(qū)的店?duì)I業(yè)下班時(shí)間從以前的晚上9點(diǎn)縮短到下午6點(diǎn),并不再保留發(fā)行五年以上的DVD以減少總庫(kù)存量。由于我們只收到了很少的關(guān)于這些新政策的客戶投訴,我們應(yīng)該在所有Movies Galore的店面實(shí)施這些政策來(lái)作為增加利潤(rùn)的最好策略。”
說(shuō)明:寫一篇文章,闡述需要哪些具體的證據(jù)來(lái)評(píng)價(jià)這個(gè)論證過(guò)程,并解釋這些證據(jù)如何削弱或強(qiáng)化這個(gè)論證過(guò)程。
