AWA Argument Template

The argument claims that .(State the argument again).Stated in this

way the argument fails to mention several key factors, on the basis of which it could
be evaluated. The conclusion relies on assumptions, for which there is no clear
evidence. Therefore, the argument is rather weak, unconvincing, and has several
flaws.
First, the argument readily assumes that (first assumption) This
statement is a stretch and not substantiated in any way. There are numerous
examples in other areas of business or commerce, where (A statement to say
that the first assumption is wrong).. For instance, ..(Two statements
of first example) Another example is the ..(Two statements for second
example). The argument would have been much clearer if it explicitly gave
examples of how the self regulatory system led to bad ratings and customer
dissatisfaction.
Second, the argument claims that ..(Second Assumption) It thus
suggests that this is yet another reason for the ..(State main conclusion)
This is again a very weak and unsupported claim as the argument does not
demonstrate any correlation between and (Argument conclusion). In
addition, if the argument provided evidence that .(State the assumption).,
the argument could have been strengthened even further.
Finally, the argument concludes that .(Third assumption in the
argument or conclusion). From this statement again, it is not at all clear .

left with the impression that the claim is more of a wishful thinking rather than
substantive evidence. As a result, this conclusion has no legs to stand on.
In summary, the argument is flawed and therefore unconvincing. It could be
considerably strengthened if the author clearly mentioned all the relevant facts. In
order to assess the merits of a certain situation, it is essential to have full knowledge
of all contributing factors.
