You could quit smoking by following the ‘Ten Point Plan’. • 3. If you want to change our country for the better then vote for James Tucker on 2nd May.

  8. TECHNIQUES in writing to persuade, argue and advise Text Techniques Language Techniques Use of second person ‘you’ to talk directly to reader Use of first person plural ‘we’ to include the reader with you Rhetorical questions Alliteration Play on words(puns) Metaphors and similes Pattern of three Superlatives ‘best’, ‘biggest’ Emotive language (make your reader feel an emotion) Statistics (make them up if you can’t think of any!) Facts and opinions Repeat key words Use of modal verbs: ‘could have’, ‘should have’ Ask the reader to think about an experience/scenario Use of connectives ‘However’, ‘Moreover’, ‘Furthermore’, ‘In conclusion’ • Opening introductory paragraph to ‘grab’ your reader’s attention • Paragraphs throughout! • Concluding paragraph to sum up and engage the reader • Lots of ‘content’ – details (planning is vital) • See other point of view (arguing) and offer solutions • Varied sentence lengths: simple, complex, compound • Different punctuation: semi colons, exclamation marks, ellipsis
