gre argument 172题目:
The Mozart School of Music should obviously be the first choice(2) of any music student aware of its reputation(1). First of all, the Mozart School stresses intensive practice and training(3), so that students typically begin their training at a very young age(4). Second, the school has ample facilities and up-to-date professional equipment(5), and its faculty includes some(6) of the most distinguished music teachers in the world(7). Finally, many(10) Mozart graduates have gone on to be the best known and most highly paid(9) musicians in the nation(8).
提纲:
(1)The author does not inform us the amount of tuition charged by Mozart Music School, and if the gifted students could afford it.
(2)Other music schools may be more suitable for some students.
(3)The author fails to illustrate that intensive practice and training are important and necessary for all music students.
