GRE写作Argument模拟题8:Rivers Unpopularity Directions: Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.
The following appeared in an editorial in the Mason City newspaper.
At present, Mason City residents seldom use the nearby Mason River for any kind of recreational activity, even though surveys of the regions residents consistently rank water sports (swimming, fishing, and boating) as a favorite form of recreation. Since there have been complaints about the quality of the water in the river, residents must be avoiding the river because they think that it is not clean enough. But that situation is about to change： the agency responsible for rivers in our region has announced plans to clean up Mason River. Therefore, recreational use of the river is likely to increase, so the Mason City council will need to increase its budget for improvements to the publicly owned lands along the Mason River.
