　　Argument 117：The following is a memo from the business manager of Valu-Mart stores.

　　Over 70 percent of the respondents to a recent survey reported that they are required to take more work home with them from the workplace than they were in the past. Since Valu-Mart has not seen impressive sales in its office-supply departments in the past, we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all Valu-Mart stores the stock of home office machines such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. We will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers. With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores.

　　【翻譯】最近一次調查超過70%的回應者報告說他們被要求回家完成的工作量比以前多。由于Valu-Mart在過去并沒有發現辦公用品部銷量的顯著上升，我們應該利用這種在家辦公的趨勢，在所有Valu-Mart商店增加家庭辦公機器比如打印機、小型復印機、碎紙機和傳真機的存貨。我們也將增加辦公用品比如紙筆和釘書機的存貨。通過這些變革，我們辦公用品部將會成為我們商店中盈利最多的部門。

　　題目拆析

　　論點：With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores.

　　論據：

　　1. Over 70 percent of the respondents to a recent survey reported that they are required to take more work home with them from the workplace than they were in the past.

　　2. Since Valu-Mart has not seen impressive sales in its office-supply departments in the past, we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all Valu-Mart stores the stock of home office machines such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. We will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers. With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores.

　　攻擊分析

　　論據1

　　A.首先題目中說明了這是一項調查。那么就很自然的聯想到：1。這調查是誰做的?怎么做的?可信度如何?數據如何處理?【寫作提示：這里易使用一系列的問句做攻擊練熟，顯的比較有氣勢，而實際操作性也比較高。建議將此類 套話 記住，做到條件反射最好】

　　B.對于調查有多少feedback?

　　C.收到的feedback中是否代表絕大多數的行業和職業?【寫作提示：這里適合用 挑刺 的手法，不厭其煩的進行可能性的舉例，比如：假設他們來自同一個行業，自然其普適性自然就不會很高。一般情況下， 挑刺找茬 的寫法是在哪里都可以使用的，其關鍵就是將你的假設具體化、詳細化，切記抽象而泛泛談之】

　　論據2

　　A.首先論者說we should take advantage of this work-at-home trend by increasing at all Valu-Mart stores the stock of home office machines such as printers, small copy machines, paper shredders, and fax machines. We will also increase stock of office supplies such as paper, pens, and staplers。而這個命題成立的前提就是論據1。中提到的越來越多的人們在家辦公必定需要上述辦公用品，但是，此假設并未成立。

　　B.退之，假設上面提到的命題成立，那么所需的辦公用品規模有多大?需求量是否是持久的?這些都未說明【寫作提示：對于很生活化的題目進行 挑刺找茬 時，如果想的可能性不多，自己聯系自己的生活，這樣易于舉出很普通但很真實的可能性舉例。】

　　結論

　　A.結論說：With these changes, our office-supply departments will become the most profitable component of our stores. 但是辦公用品部是否會盈利，是否利潤最高，利潤是否持久，風險是否小，成本的因素 等等，取決于諸多因素，不能簡單的規為一類。論者在沒有給出諸項的有效證明前，其結論是 強詞奪理

　　寫作提示

　　1.自己要對某些 套話 運用熟練，一看到試驗就想到它的代表性，如何做的 ，養成一種條件反射

　　2.現在有些同學對于 挑刺找茬 的方法不是很熟。其實這個方法就是將所有自己可以想到的可能，一一列舉出來，這個方法的好處就是，很具體，很翔實。
