　　gre argument 182题目：

　　Butter has now been replaced by margarine in Happy Pancake House restaurants throughout the southwestern United States. Only about 2 percent of customers have complained, indicating that 98 people out of 100 are happy with the change(1). Furthermore, many(3) servers have reported that a number of(3) customers who still ask for butter do not complain when they are given margarine instead. Clearly, either these customers cannot distinguish margarine from butter, or they use the term "butter" to rer to either butter or margarine(2). Thus, to avoid the expense of purchasing butter(5), the Happy Pancake House should extend this cost-saving change to its restaurants in the southeast and northeast(4) as well.

　　提纲：

　　(1)Some customers might be unhappy but didn’t complain.

　　(2)The fact that few customers complain when they are given margarine might be explained by other factors, not necessarily by the explanations provided by the author.

　　(3)The author fails to indicate the actual number of servers who reported, and what percentage of the whole server group do they make up, thus we cannot evaluate if the fact cited above is significant. Also, the author does not tell us the percentage of customers who do not complain.

　　(4)The author hastily assumes that customers in other regions will respond to the change similarly as southwestern customers.

　　(5)The author fails to provide any information concerning the possible change in the profit of Happy Pancake House after the replacement, thus we cannot evaluate the overall fect of the recommendation mentioned above.

　　注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。

　　无论是gre issue还是gre argument，考生都应该养成写提纲的习惯。这种提纲式的gre写作练习可以帮助考生锻炼写作的逻辑性，而gre写作高分最重要的得分依据就是作文的逻辑性要强。
