  1. I think your essay is of around score 4. presents a clear position on the issue in accordance with the assigned task develops the position with relevant reasons and/or examples is adequately focused and organized demonstrates sufficient control of language to express ideas with acceptable clarity generally demonstrates control of the conventions of standard written English, but may have some errors The way you have used forlorn doesn't seem correct. You meant the valuation of $250 was low right? It is not that clear whether you mean that valuation is low or not achievable. And you could have split the second paragraph in to two with the one analyzing effectiveness of consultants as one and the next one about asking the employees for opinions. I will add more after going through it again. Now can you return the favor ? http://www.www.urch.com/forums/gre-analysis-issue/157734-please-reate-my-gre-issue-essay.html http://www.www.urch.com/forums/gre-analysis-argument/157735-please-reate-my-gre-argument-essay.html
  2. I am not good at scoring but, i am thinking a 4 or 5. I couldn't come up with much faults other than those flimsy examples you gave in the second paragraph, for instance taking night classes and working extra hours doesn't seem that good an example? Can you take a look at mine ? http://www.www.urch.com/forums/gre-analysis-issue/157734-please-reate-my-gre-issue-essay.html http://www.www.urch.com/forums/gre-analysis-argument/157735-please-reate-my-gre-argument-essay.html
  3. The following is a memorandum from the business manager of a television station. "Over the past year, our late-night news program has devoted increased time to national news and less time to weather and local news. During this period, most of the complaints received from viewers were concerned with our station's coverage of weather and local news. In addition, local businesses that used to advertise during our late-night news program have canceled their advertising contracts with us. Therefore, in order to attract more viewers to our news programs and to avoid losing any further advertising revenues, we should expand our coverage of weather and local news on all our news programs." Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted. Author claims that increased time for national news and decreased time for weather and local news has frustrated the channels viewers and advertisers. He sites complaints from viewers and cancellation by advertisers as a proof for reverting these actions. But the argument he makes is rife with illogical conclusions as there could be several other alternate explanations for viewers complaints and cancellation of advertising contracts. Firstly author states about the complaints made by viewers on the stations coverage of weather and local news. But he doesn't lucidly explain that the complaints by viewers are actually because of decrease in the time taken for weather and local news converge. It is wrong to reach the conclusion taken by the author without inspecting the nature of these complaints from viewers. For example they might be complaining about the accuracy of the weather and local news coverage and not the decrease in time of the coverage. Also this complaints might have been already in existence before, when there was much time dedicated to the local and whether coverage. In that case it is obvious that the coverage time is not the problem for the viewers but it's something else which can only be understood by getting into the details of these complaints. Another possible explanation is that these complaints might be from a very few viewers, were as others might be happy about the increase in the national news coverage. Without surveying the whole views it is wrong to conclude that viewers are not pleased with the recent changes in the stations coverage. Secondly the author states that advertisers has cancelled there contract with the stations because of decrease in coverage time for local and weather news. Again the author fails to get the specifics of these cancellations. There are several other explanations for these contract cancellations. It could be because these businesses want to try out other medium other than the station like online advertisement for a more effective advertisement strategy. Another explanation is that these local businesses are having a hard time financially and decided to cut back on there budget and axe advertisement expense as a whole. Another explanation is that the station itself might have increased the advertisement cost resulting in these local businesses to look for other alternate cheaper solutions. As it is pointed out in the above paragraphs the authors argument and conclusion that he has reached is not accurate because the reasons he has sighted to back these claims are not accurate. Thanks!
  4. A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position. The author states that all students of a nation should follow the same national curriculum until they enter college. The basis of this recommendation might be that students should, no matter from which part of a country they are hailing from should be equitably given the chance to learn different subjects. But this recommendation in my opinion is going to have a negative impact on students rather than having a positive impact. We all are good at certain areas of fields of life. Some are good at many things, having a wide variety of talents and intelligence,but others only good at a few areas of life. I believe that no matter how capable a person is, everyone should be given an equal shot at there academic life. Consider a student, let's say Tim who is good at math and science, but not so good at arts. If the authors recommendation is adopted then a Tim will also have to learn arts as a part of this curriculum. From my personal experience this is going to create a problem for Tim as students get easily frustrated with studies, especially when its a subject they are not good at.Tim can work hard as much as he can but still under perform in an arts subject. Instead of forcing every student to take up every subject as part a national curriculum one should be given a choice as of which all subjects one want's to study. On the other hand, many students struggle through there school life trying to figure out what is it that they are good at. Most of them won't have much idea as for what career path they should take. Our society is rife with various occupations, which might be confounding to a student. In this case it will have a positive impact if authors recommendation is carefully adopted as a student can get familiar with different subjects in school and later on in college one can choose which field he should specialize in, then go on and learn about what one is good at or interested . The idea the author as it mentioned is parochial as it is too inconsiderate about the varying talents of student. Instead of requiring mandatory for all students of a nation to follow the same curriculum they should be given the choice which all parts of the curriculum they can adopt.Adopting his recommendation as it is could bring more problems than alleviate existing problems. Thanks !
