“On average, 9 out of every 1,000 passengers who traveled on Avia Airlines last year filed a complaint about our baggage-handling procedures. This means that although some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with those procedures, the overwhelming majority were quite satisfied with them; thus it would appear that a review of the procedures is not important to our goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers.” -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this argument the author concludes that the procedure is not important to Avia airline’s goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers. The author’s line of reasoning is that because the overwhelming majority was quite satisfied with those procedures, only some 1 percent of our passengers were unhappy with them. This argument is unconvincing in two important respects The main problem with this argument involves the author’s assumption that the baggage-handling procedure is not important. To begin with, we must establish the meaning of baggage-handling procedure is the service that the airline provides to the customers, and any services that provide to the customers are important. The quality of the service could be a representative sign of a company. In addition, we found the dissatisfaction of the customers, and then we shall try to fix it, rather than ignoring the fact. We all need to keep improving the procedure continuously, so the company can be expanded to be larger and to be better. Thus, for the speaker the term “baggage-handling procedure” must been essentially paid attention to its improvement. But even if the overwhelming majority was quite satisfied with those procedures, would this be a compelling reason to deny improving them? I don’t think so. It’s possible that Avia airline has managed to deliver better customer service in spite of procedure. Avia airline officers might be proactive to help the passengers. Perhaps the quality of service would improve even more with additional improvement of the baggage-handling procedure. Either maintaining the goal or increasing the number of passengers, every single service and procedure that relate to Avia airline is worth to be improved. To have strong structure and solid foundation are very important for business to have a bright future. In sum, this argument doesn’t establish the conclusion that the baggage-handling procedure is not important to Avia airline’s goal of maintaining or increasing the number of Avia’s passengers. To strengthen the argument, the author must examine all factors that the customers are satisfied with. Additionally, the author should consider all possible solution to solve the dissatisfaction of the customers who filed a complaint about baggage-handling procedure.

In my mind, for most of these issues, the "realistic" answer is in the middle, but it's best if I pick on side to support. Agree? For the last paragraph, we can also make a suggestion out of the whole writing, can't we?

“A company’s long-term success is primarily dependent on job satisfaction and the job security felt by the company’s employees.” Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I do not agree with the proposition that a company’s long-term success is primarily dependent on job satisfaction and the job security felt by the company’s employees. The most important factors for a company's long-term success are the quality of its product or service, excellent customer service, and the ability of the company to adapt over time. On the contrary, job satisfaction and job security are more preferred to personal interests; the level of these two items can influence how much employees are willing to contribute their efforts to a firm. One important factor in the success of a company is the quality of its product or service. The quality of a product relates to how well it is designed and manufactured. For example,. in the fashion world, some designers are known for the high quality of their clothes. Customers appreciate clothes that look beautiful and are well made. When customers are satisfied, this helps the company to remain successful.. A second important factor in a company’s success is excellent customer service. Maintaining good relationships with customers is a key to success. For example, an advertizing company must work very closely with each client to make a successful campaign. This includes the planning stage, consumer research, design of advertisements and project management. Excellent customer service by the advertising company will result in increased business from its satisfied customers. Lastly, the ability of the company to adapt over time is another important aspect for its success. In a competitive business environment, a company must anticipate and respond quickly to changes.in the field. For example, soon after the announcement of “mad cow” disease, McDonald’s launched a chicken burger in its Chinese shops to replace its beef burger. McDonald’s quick adaptablility allowed it to remain successful in such a hard time. In conclusion, the long-term success of a company is very dependent on the quality of its product or service, excellent customer service, and the company's ability to adapt over time. While the job satisfaction and job security of the employees are important, they are not the most important factors in a company's success. For a company to grow and prosper, it must stress quality, customer service, and innovation over time.

"The best way to reverse Aura Cosmetic's recent decline in profitability is to require each new employee in Aura's sales division to enroll in the popular SureSale seminar. Last year, the software company TechAide began incorporating SureSale's week-long seminar into its training program for all new sales employees, and since that time TechAide's total sales have increased dramatically. Also, according to a recent article in a reputable business magazine, the SureSale sales system has been widely adopted among the nation's twenty largest companies, and the employee turnover rate at these companies is lower today than five years ago. Therefore, by enrolling Aura sales employees in the SureSale seminar Aura will also retain its highest caliber salespeople. Discuss how logically convincing you find this argument. In your discussion, you should analyze the argument's line of reasoning and use of evidence. It may be appropriate in your critique to call into question certain assumptions underlying the argument and/or to indicate what evidence might weaken or strengthen the argument. It may also be appropriate to discuss how you would alter the argument to make it more convincing and/or discuss what additional evidence, if any, would aid in evaluating the argument. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In this argument, Aura sales employees are advised to enroll in the SureSale seminar, so Aura will retain its highest caliber salespeople. The author reasons that TechAide's total sales have increased dramatically, because it began incorporating SureSale's week-long seminar into its training program for all new sales employees. The author also reasons that the SureSale sales system has been widely adopted among the nation’s twenty largest companies by depending on an article in a business magazine. The author’s argument is unconvincing because it is flawed in two respects. To begin with, the author relies on the assumption that the SureSales training program has a huge impact on its increasing sales, it’s not persuadable. It is possible that other factors are might be the determining elements for its sales. Such as a successful marketing strategy or campaign, an increase in consumer demanding or the reputation of a company, they all affect the sales volume. If the reputation of its company in market is bad or a firm is famous for cheap products but low quality, no matter how experienced the sales people are, they still cannot calling a stag a horse to sell its products. If it’s the case, SureSale training program might not solve the sales problem. Secondly, the author only bases on one recent business article to support his claim that the SureSale sales system has been widely adopted among nation’s largest companies, and the employee turnover rate at these companies is lower today than five years ago. It is equally possible that the more SureSale sales system is adopted, the less employee turnover rate could be. This claim is just too extreme; there should be more important facts with regards to the turnover rate. Such as job satisfaction, salaries, welfare of employees, etc. Without more information or figures about the basis of his claim, we cannot relate the correlation between employee’s turnover and the adoption of SureSale sales system together. In sum, this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument, the author must demonstrate on how SureSales training program in creasing the sales. Moreover, the author has failed to establish a relationship between turnover rate and the adoption of SureSale sale system. If the author wants to make the point more convincible, he must provide evidence on how the 2 facts make a big impact on each other.

“During a recent trial period in which government inspections at selected meat-processing plants were more frequent, the amount of bacteria in samples of processed chicken decreased by 50 percent on average from the previous year’s level. If the government were to institute more frequent inspections, the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections throughout the country could thus be cut in half. In the meantime, consumers of Excel Meats should be safe from infection because Excel’s main processing plant has shown more improvement in eliminating bacterial contamination than any other plant cited in the government report.” Discuss how well reasoned . . . etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Citing facts drawn from the amount of bacteria in samples of processed chicken decreased by 50 percent on average from the previous year’s level. The author argues if the government were to institute more frequent inspections, the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections throughout the country could thus be cut in half. To support this conclusion the author cites the government report that consumers of Excel Meats should be safe from infection because Excel’s main processing plant has shown more improvement in eliminating bacterial contamination than any other plant. This argument is unconvincing for two reasons. To begin with, the author assumes that increasing the government inspections would reduce the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections. This assumption is never supported with any data or projections. Moreover, there’re other factors relevant to decrease the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections. Such as an advanced medical technology, people are being more careful with the food they eat and doing more exercises, etc. Therefore, the author fails to narrow down the variety facts to one cause. In short, this assumption must be supported with a thorough efficiency analysis of frequent inspections versus other possible causes. Second, the author cites the government report to claim that consumers of Excel Meats should be safe from infection, is it because the main processing plant has shown more improvement in eliminating bacterial contamination than any other plant? No evidence is stated in the report to support this crucial assumption. It fails to establish a causal connection between the safety from infection and the improvement in plant. Without compelling evidence to support the causal connection between these two events, the report is not enough to strengthen the assumption that made by author In conclusion, this is a weak argument. The author has not succeeded in providing compelling information for increasing the government inspections would reduce the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections. In fact, there’re more facts will have the impact on its decreases. Nor has the author provided compelling reason for establishing the correlations between the safety from infection and the improvement in plant.

“Some experts maintain that students learn best in a highly structured environment, one that emphasizes discipline, punctuality, and routine. Others insist that educators, if they are to help students maximize their potential, ought to maintain an atmosphere of relative freedom and spontaneity.” Explain your position on the issue of structure versus freedom in an ideal learning environment. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ There is much controversy about the education system. Some say that students learn best in a highly structured environment, one that emphasizes discipline, punctuality, and routine, while others insist that educators, if they are to help students maximize their potential, ought to maintain an atmosphere of relative freedom and spontaneity. In my opinion, structure is necessary for students, especially for the students who have just entered the elementary school, for three reasons Firstly, the guidance of study is important. For children to learn things, they must be taught to behave well when they’re in public, in school or visiting the homes of friends. Admittedly, it’s better to teach children acceptable social behavior starting when they’re young, they all quicker learners, and first impression of each lesson is printed in their mind. Secondly, a beginner student needs help from the teacher. Because he doesn’t have the sense of the knowledge that he’s going to study as the teacher does. Since a structured school environment provides A, B and C, granted, it also provides an appropriate and effective way to foster students’ development and behavior. Swimming lesson is a good sample. For the first time in swimming poor, a kid could do nothing but playing with water. Therefore, without a proper teaching guide, he can’t learn to swim. Thirdly, beginner students are like to have fun. Just let they enjoy the freedom of study; it’s hardly for them to grow a sense of self-discipline. Study is neither a game nor a play, it gets bored and frustrated if a student couldn’t find a clue or direction on the subject he’s learning. If he couldn’t do it well, then the immatureness gives up easily. Admittedly, in front of the freedom of study, unwillingness will lead him to escape the courses. No one is perfect, but he shall balance out the things that he’s going to learn. In conclusion, I am not saying structure system is the only way for students to learn, but it’s necessary to have this system adopted in school. “Learning makes a good man better and an ill man worse.” When children are taught in a highly structured environment, it helps them to learn effectively. By the same token, the system should leave enough freedom to the students, so they could to things with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness.

There is much controversy about the mass media. Some say that the growth of mass media has stifled intellectual curiosity, while others argue that the availability of so much information and entertainment has encouraged individuals to expand their intellect and creativity. In my view, I do not agree with the first argument, in other words, I believe that the growth of mass media adds to our intellect and creativity as illustrated by two needs: information needs, entertainment needs, socialization needs. Firstly, information needs. Mass media brings us large availability of information, so we can screen-out better samples and contents for variety projects. For example, university students will need to submit their theories at the end of semester; they won’t have enough time and energy to study the company from head to toe. However, the mass media could provide lots of relevant information for students to analyze and to write. It also encourages the development of new ideas or new statement. Secondly, entertainment needs. Mass media helps to open our eyes to new cultures and new ways of thinking. The difference between Asia and West can be presented through many aspects, such as life style, food, etiquette, etc. Mass media can pass along information with greater speed, its coverage is huge. Thirdly, socialization needs. Mass media provides variety way of communicating. Cyberspace is often thought of as impersonal, it’s actually a haven for interactive between two people, even among a group of people. Such as MSN, AIM, ICQ, chat room is the most famous place for strangers to interact with each other. People can learn about various aspects of life and help us in perceiving an issue from different standpoint in real time. Additionally, playing interactive games with others could be more fun than paling game online alone. In conclusion, I think that mass media has brought us its advantages more than its pitfalls. Therefore, I cannot agree with the claim that the growth of mass media has stifled intellectual curiosity.
