Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    • a plan
    • the purpose and audience
    • a good structure made up of several main points
    • varied sentence beginnings
    • technical accuracy (punctuation and spelling)
    To get a high grade, you'll need to use the following techniques:
    • Tense
      - a persuasive letter is normally written in the simple present tense,
      eg "As Chair of the Friends of Gnashley High School, I am writing to
      ask you..."
    • Linking language - use logical conjunctions such as therefore, furthermore, because etc.
    • Clarity
      - repeat or reiterate your main point in the concluding paragraph, eg
      "Do try to come to this event and do try to see fit to contribute to
      this worthwhile cause."
    • Audience - show you
      are aware of the audience. Include details that are familiar to the
      reader. Share some memories of events and people. Mention how the
      school has changed over the years. Begin the letter with the
      recipient's name and title. Attempt to crack some jokes that they might
      appreciate. Be a little less formal than in other types of formal
      writing.
    • Structure - begin with a position, then preview the points that are going to follow. In your first paragraph, outline what you are going to say in your letter. In the body of the letter, explain your reasons for writing. In your conclusion, you should try to summarise what you have said.

        Persuasive essays are an important type of English writing. They are also called as an argument. These essays are usually used to convince a reader of the  argument presented by the writer, on a debatable issue.

        The typical structure for a persuasive essay is as follows:

        - Introduction
        - Background statement of facts
        - Partition of topics which are to be presented
        - Body of the text
        - Discussion of alternatives
        - Conclusion.

        Usually it is best to clearly explain the argument and the viewpoint you support. Establish credentials by  referring to any previous research or experience. Also mention the opposing arguments. Use reason and evidence for persuasion.
