gre argument 189题目:
The following is a recommendation from the dean at Foley College, a small liberal arts college, to the president of the college.
"Since college-bound students(1) are increasingly concerned about job prospects after graduation, Foley College should attempt to increase enrollment by promising to find its students jobs(2) after they graduate(3,4). Many administrators feel that this strategy is a way for Foley to compete against larger and more prestigious schools(5) and to encourage students to begin preparing for careers as soon as they enter college(7). Furthermore, a student who must choose a career path within his or her first year of college and who is guaranteed a job after graduation is more likely to successfully complete the coursework(8) that will prepare him or her for the future(6)."
提纲:
1. The dean fails to investigate actually how many students, and what percentage of all students are highly concerning about job prospects.
2. The dean fails to consider if the college are capable of finding all its students jobs.
3. The dean ignores many negative effects of promising to find every student a job after they graduate.
4. The dean fails to consider if the students will accept, or welcome the policy.
5. Many other measures could be taken to help Foley to compete against larger and more prestigious schools.
6. Adopting the dean’s proposal alone may not suffice to guarantee that students will successfully complete the coursework and prepare themselves for the future, and consequently help Foley to compete against other schools.
7. The necessity of encouraging students to begin preparing for careers as soon as they enter college is open to doubt, it may cause some undesirable results.
8. The students may work less diligent in their coursework because of the existence of such promise.
