GMAT AWA Analysis of Argument Template

Here is the template I used for my GMAT AWA. It worked well and I got a 6 on AWA :)

*****************

The argument concludes that... (restate the conclusion of the statement)... . However, on analysis this is not altogether persuasive since it ignores substantive conjectures.

First the author gratuitously presumes that....

Second the argument (superfluously assumes)/(ignores) that...

Finally the argument overlooks that...

Hence, the argument is not completely sound. The facts in supports of the conclusion x,y,z fail to account for the aforementioned assumptions. Accordingly, the argument might have been bolstered by... . With these facts, the argument might actually have been convincing.
