1In this XXX (argument), the author concludes that , citing

the fact/reason that . Whats more, the author points out that
. While this argument seems reasonable, it is nevertheless
unacceptable to embrace the credibility of this argument after careful
scrutiny.
2In the first place, it is mentioned that The author unfairly
assumes that
Therefore, it is highly doubtful that
3In the second place, stated in this argument is a fact that The
author's conclusion relies on the gratuitous assumption that
Therefore, in face of such limited evidence, the conclusion turns out to be
less well backed.
4Last but not the least, the author tells us the conclusion that He
or she might have been attempting to mislead us into believing that ...
Therefore, with no regard to (all of these and other
possibilities/differences/a thorough cost-benefit analysis), it is fallacious to
draw the conclusion at all.
5After analyzing the reasoning line and the use of evidence in this
argument, it requires more improvement in several aspects. Instead of
simply relying on the evidence given so far, the author ought to provide
credible evidence about , eliminate other factors that may result in ,
or take into account other issues discussed above.

In the first place, one possible problem in this argument involves the
survey itself. As we all know, the smaller the sample size is, the less
reliable the result of the survey is. So, if the number of the participants in
the survey is too small, it will be highly doubtful whether the conclusion is
credible. In addition, the author provides no evidence to ensure that those
who responded to the survey are representative of the whole group. Those
who were more interested in XX might be more likely to respond to the
questionnaire. Due to the lack of randomness and representativeness in
the survey sample, the statistical reliability of the survey will be really
dubious.

(1) B is determined solely by A. While A is a seemingly important element

in determining B, it is hardly the only or even necessarily required one. (2)
The author omits the possibility of other alternative facts that It is

(1) A is analogous to B in all aspects. (2) It is clear that the author fails to
take into account the possible differences between these two

(1) X would remain unchanged over/since (or at different locations) (2)
The fact that happened (n years ago) is not a sound evidence to draw a
conclusion that In addition, it is possible that this trend will fluctuate

(1) B is due to A, just because B happened after A. (2) There is no
sufficient evidence to bolster the assumption that there is a cause-andeffect relationship between A and B.
6)
(1) A and B are mutually exclusive alternatives. (2) Common sense and
observation tell us that combining both A and B might achieve better
effects.

(1) There is no sufficient evidence to bolster the assumption that
(2) There is, however, no guarantee that this is true, nor does the author
provide any evidence to substantiate this assumption.
