【題目】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 region's 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."
【翻譯】當前，Mason市很少利用附近的Mason河來進行娛樂活動，盡管對該地區(qū)居民的幾次調(diào)查一直指出他們把水上運動（游泳、垂釣和劃船）作為他們最喜歡的娛樂形式。由于曾經(jīng)存在對于這條河水質(zhì)的投訴，居民一定是因為他們認為河水不夠干凈才不在這里活動。但這種情況就會改變了：我們地區(qū)負責(zé)河流管理的部門公布了澄清Mason河的計劃。因此，河流的娛樂用途很可能將會增加，因而Mason市的市委有必要增加用于改善Mason河沿岸公共土地的預(yù)算。

對于題目中出現(xiàn)的表示邏輯關(guān)系的詞（EG：邏輯轉(zhuǎn)折，邏輯遞進，邏輯并列……），比如：since，because，but，therefore……都必須重視，因為抓住了這些詞，其實就將這個topic所說問題的骨架抓住了。在腦子里迅速開始邏輯層次的梳理，然后拋棄外在的ETS題目表述的形式，而得出自己的邏輯層次。
我個人認為這個工作對于想得高分的同學(xué)是特別關(guān)鍵的，因為這個工作是后面行文的基礎(chǔ)。高層次的ARGUMENT文章其組織是很有講究的，按照邏輯錯誤的深淺層次進行有重點的攻擊。
比如，如果在有STEM級別的error，同時也有branch級別的mistake，那攻擊的順序自然是先STEM級，后BRANCH級別 （這里的branch不在同一個stem上，EG:如果STEM1和 STEM2 上的BRANCH A （此時，STEM2 這個根級的錯誤是不存在的，存在的僅僅是它的下層第一個很minor的具體錯誤）同時存在，一般是攻擊STEM1然后才是BRANCH A）
P.S.
這個觀點目前僅僅是我想出來的，還沒有得到廣泛的討論，因此這種寫法的可靠性還有待今后的試驗。這個寫法，鄙人認為適合對A已經(jīng)小有心得的戰(zhàn)友們，入門級的戰(zhàn)友還是按部就班的，按照mistake在文中出現(xiàn)的前后順序進行邏輯攻擊，特此說明
【題目拆析】
論點： 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." 因此，河流的娛樂用途很可能將會增加，因而Mason市的市委有必要增加用于改善Mason河沿岸公共土地的預(yù)算。
論據(jù)：
1。"At present, Mason City residents seldom use the nearby Mason River for any kind of recreational activity, even though surveys of the region's 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.

2。But that situation is about to change: the agency responsible for rivers in our region has announced plans to clean up Mason River. 但這種情況就會改變了：我們地區(qū)負責(zé)河流管理的部門公布了澄清Mason河的計劃。
【攻擊分析】
論據(jù)1:
STEM 級別錯誤（STEM 1）:將一個并非絕對因果的兩件事情（“人很少運動”和“河水不干凈”）解釋為因果，因而擅自排除了其他的可能性.但還有其他的POSSIBILITY,比如，天氣因素（冬天，游泳的人少）；河本身的大?。ㄈ绻撕哟蔡珳\，也不能游）
在此stem級別的錯誤下面還有branch級別的錯誤（分別稱之為：S1B1/S1B2/……）
S1B1:調(diào)查的可靠性，此類問題
S1B2:過去的投訴到底對市民產(chǎn)生多少心里影響，還有其他的possibilities么？
