Making your writing persuasive

When you are writing to persuade people, it’s important to say why the reader should agree with you. You need to give your reasons, otherwise your reader may not believe you!

A good way to make your writing more persuasive is to think of the following:

Personal - keep your writing friendly.

Emotive - use words that make your reader have strong feelings.

Rhetorical questions - to make your reader stop and think.

Say it again - repeat your message!

Undermine - mention different opinions to yours and say why they are wrong.

Direct - use the words you and your to make your reader feel special.

Exaggeration – make a big deal of what you say!
