1、Comment c1: 你的 Thesis statement里写到了变化的 focus，但全文没找到除了 making money之外的 focus，为啥？Comment c2: 觉得讲得有点模糊，suffer loss 这组合看上去欠犀利（第六感） ，还有 j their career和 making money之间的联系你没点出来Comment c3: re-establish himself是一个我没听说过的组合Comment c4: expand blindly怎么了，有什么恶果需要进一步挑明。Comment c5: hazards具体是什么？作者真含糊。Comment c6: 这个
2、例子，看的外行人（我）口吐白沫，是想说公司狂借钱开拓业务然后还不出来？Comment c7: 这段里没提到“expand business blindly”，直接跳到破产的结果了，executive 们显得很无辜。但其实是他们自信过头借钱想大捞一笔，后来又还不出来才 crisis的吧？我以为。讲错了当我白打这段。Comment c8: 这段到底算不算跑题呀？你再好好盯着你的 thesis statement多看几眼。TOPIC: ISSUE152 - “The only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay wit
3、hin the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies.“WORDS: 598 TIME: 00:45:00 DATE: 2010-03-22 17:08:51Generally I can identify with the speakers perspective that corporate executives should shoulder the responsibility to make as much money as they can for their companies on condi
4、tion that their conducts are legal. Nonetheless, so complicated is the issue concerning the duty of corporate executives that other viewpoints could be equally tenable from different angles. As far as I think, the responsibility of corporate executives oughtnt to be confined to merely making money.
5、In different circumstances, their focus can vary.In most cases, making profits for the companies remain the single most important objective for corporate executives if their conducts stay within the law. After all, having a strong and healthy cash flow is generally a guarantee for companies to pursu

A corporate executive is authorized, by major shareholders, as the chief manager in a company to run business for the benefits of shareholders. Therefore, as long as their conduct is within the law, making money certainly seems the ultimat

Due to the opportunities provided by the booming economy, business may seek to expand bli

For example they may seek to increase more liabilities and upgrade their market shares due to the positive picture the economy gives to them, hoping to make as much money as possible- a
11、dangerous and reckless approach which could results in overvaluing the companies strength and once the market crashes, bankruptcy may be doomed to come. The 2008 financial crisis may prove a good example. Before the economic downturn, everything seems just too good: interest rate is stable, theres n

And beyond that, if corporate executives are only concerned with making money, they would try every possible means to get money, even by exploiting money from employees, thus resulting in bad morale.

17、notorious for its tight curves and poor roadway visibility, and the accident rate there was generally very high. Last year the highway was redesigned to broaden the curves and improve roadway visibility. Drivers report that they now feel much safer driving on the highway and that the redesign has be
18、en a big improvement. But the number of accidents on the highway has not been significantly lower in the six months since the redesign than it was in the six months before the redesign. Therefore, the redesign clearly did not improve the curves and roadway visibility enough to make a difference.WORD
19、S: 465 TIME: 00:30:00 DATE: 2010-03-22 17:08:51The speaker reaches to the conclusion that the improvement made on the Blue City Highway isnt of much use for the reason that the number of accidents hasnt been decreased after the improvement. As far as I think, theres a lack of strong justification in
20、 reaching the conclusion and I find it untenable through the following reasons.To support his view, the speaker reasons that the number of accidents on the highway remains roughly the same in the six months since the redesign than it was in the six months before the redesign. Is this analogy persuas
21、ive? First of all, the speaker fails to specifically compare the condition in the recent six months after the redesign with that before it. Perhaps the six months after the redesign saw much more weather turbulence, a possible hazard that could significantly cause traffic accidents. Without ruling o
22、ut the weathers influence on transportation on the Blue City Highway, the speaker cannot blame the ineffectiveness of the redesign. In addition, it could be that the transportation management is different after the redesign. After the improvement, drivers report that they feel more much safer and ex
23、press their recognition of the highway renovation which may give a false impression to the authority and they may loosen their management on the high way, without which drivers would feel more relaxed. This is another possible cause of traffic accidents and due to this; the speaker also cannot reach
24、 to the hasty conclusion that the improvement itself doesnt make a difference.Second, its insufficient for the speaker to only mention a single number to reach his conclusion. It is very possible that in the six months after the redesign, there has been a large increase of vehicles going on the high
25、 way because the curves have been widened and road visibility has been improved. Accordingly, the number of accidents will naturally increase. Without comparing the ratio of the number of accidents to the total number of vehicles on the high way in the recent six months with that before the redesign
26、, a single number is far from being persuasive.Even if we assume the number of vehicles as the same as that before the redesign, it is still specious. It could be quite possible that the severity of traffic accidents after the improvement is significantly mitigated. In other words, because of the hi
27、ghway improvement, people caught in the traffic accidents suffer less serious injuries than before. In this case, its untenable to conclude that improvement has made a difference.In conclusion, if the speaker comprehensively compares the driving conditions, besides the highway alone, in the six months after the redesign and those before the redesign, or if heshe presents more arguments instead of just a single number, the conclusion would be far more persuasive.argue 写出来怎么看怎么顺眼啊火眼金睛的本大人未发现什么瑕疵，红花奖励，恭喜恭喜。
