  1. Hi Erin and all TMians, I have submitted 2 argument gre essays...but i didnt got any replies or comments for the essay:(... so please friends help by giving ur comments...so that i can know where i stand. Thanks -Karan Edited by Erin.
  2. 191. The following is a letter from a professor at Xanadu College to the college's president. "The development of an extensive computer-based long-distance learning program will enhance the reputation of Xanadu College. This program would allow more students to enroll in our courses, thereby increasing our income from student tuition. Traditional courses could easily be adapted for distance learners, as was shown by the adaptation of two traditional courses for our distance learning trial project last year. Also, by using computer programs and taped lectures, faculty will have fewer classroom obligations and more time to engage in extensive research, thereby enhancing the reputation of Xanadu." A good course can certainly improve the reputation of a college if the college provides a quality education to the students enrolled. But, the assumption of the author that by developing an extensive computer-based-long distance learning program will improve the reputation of Xanadu college is not at all practical. The second assumption which weakens the topic is adaptation of traditional courses which is based on the success of the trial project last year. Firstly, the author's first assumption is not based on any facts. A college cannot enhance its reputation just by developing a new distance learning course. The reputation of a college consists of the quality of teaching, result oriented education, regular interaction with students etc. A college cannot improve its reputation by developing more and more courses. The reputation of the college depends on how the courses offered are handled by the college, it depends on the quality of the education provided. Here the author seems to be more concerned about the income of the college rather than the quality of education provided to the students. Again a college cant improve its reputation by enrolling more numbers of students. It could be possible that the best colleges may have less number of students as compared to other colleges. And then also they are reputed ones just because the quality of the education they provide. Secondly, the author is assuming that the adaptation of the distance learning project for traditional courses previous year shows that the college can adapt more traditional courses, which is ludicrous. First and foremost there are no data provided based on which it can be said that more and more traditional courses can be adapted in the present year too. There is no information whether the traditional courses adapted previous year were a success or a failure.And its not necessary that the students will be interested in traditional courses only for the computer based distance learning course. Hereby, to enhance the reputation of a college what matters is the quality of education and not the quantity of students.

  5. Hi friends, Please give comments on my essay and let me know my mistakes so that i can improve my skills. This is my very first attempt for the argument essay. And how much will score on this essay. 212.------------------------------------- The following appeared in a memorandum from the new president of the Patriot car manufacturing company. "In the past, the body styles of Patriot cars have been old-fashioned, and our cars have not sold as well as have our competitors' cars. But now, since many regions in this country report rapid increases in the numbers of newly licensed drivers, we should be able to increase our share of the market by selling cars to this growing population. Thus, we should discontinue our oldest models and concentrate instead on manufacturing sporty cars. We can also improve the success of our marketing campaigns by switching our advertising to the Youth Advertising agency, which has successfully promoted the country's leading soft drink." This argument sounds convincing, but it is based on some assumptions. First, increase in the market share by selling cars to the newly licensed drivers. Second, stop manufacturing oldest models and concentrate in manufacturing sporty cars. Last, improvement in the success of marketing campaigns by switching the advertising to the Youth Advertising agency, which has successfully promoted the country's leading soft drink. Let us analyse these assumptions in detail. There are no second thoughts for the fact that if more and more people will get driver's license, there are more chances for a vehicle company to have a good sale. But, this assumption would be wrong that the Patriot cars can sell most of their cars to the newly licensed drivers. There is no guarantee that the driver will come to Patriot cars only, it depends totally on the driver which car he/she chooses. The company cant force anybody to buy their cars only. Manufacturing of sporty cars can be profitable to the company but they cant survive in the market by manufacturing sporty cars only. Its not necessary that their oldest model will not get any response from the market. Instead of stop manufacturing oldest models what they can do is they can improve the body a bit, then they can improve the efficiency of the engine. Furthermore, its not necessary that everybody will like sporty cars only, there are people who are interested in old models, so here the company can work it out. The author's assumption to stop manufacturing old models and start making sporty cars is based on the report that says there is a rapid increase in the number of newly licensed drivers in some regions of the country, but here the author is just concentrating on the new drivers only. It could be possible that changing the advertising agency can be fruitful for the company's market campaign. But its ridiculous if this change is based on the assumption that Youth Advertising agency successfully promoted the country's leading soft drink so it can also promote cars for Patriot cars. There is no guarantee that if the last campaign of the advertising agency was successful then Patriot cars will also have a effective marketing campaign. The product is different, the strategy of the advertising agency will be different then how can the author say that it can be fruitful for Patriot cars too. Patriot cars can improve itself by improving the quality of the cars, by improving the efficiency of the cars, by a good marketing strategy, they can have a survey so that they can have a proper idea what is the need of the market. They should not make a plan on the basis of assumptions.

  9. LOL!!:D amazing collection!!
  10. This is a collection of leave letters and applications written by people at various places : A candidate's application: "This has reference to your advertisement calling for a 'typist and an accountant - Male or Female'... As I am both for the past several years and I can handle both, I am applying for the post. An employee applied for leave as follows: Since I have to go to my village to sell my land along with my wife. Please sanction me one weekleave. Another employee applied for half day leave as follows: "Since I've to go to the cremation ground and I may not return, please grant me half day casual leave" A friend of mine had written a leave letter to the headmaster: "As I am studying in this school I am suffering from headache. I request you to leave me today" A family friend of ours told an incident of his friend's letter "I am suffering from fever, please declare holiday to the school" . Another leave letter written to the headmaster: As my headache is paining,please grant me leave for the day. A covering note "I am enclosed herewith..." Another leave letter written to Administration dept: As my mother-in-law has expired and I am responsible for it, please grant me 10 days leave. Actual letter written for application of leave: "My wife is suffering from sickness and as I am her only husband at home I may be granted leave". Letter writing: - "I am in well here and hope you are also in the same well."
