Answers

Persuasive text is used to persuade the reader to do something. Examples include an advert designed to make you buy something.

If you are planning to write persuasive text for an advertisement for example, think about: describing the product and it's features (e.g. size and colour), the benefits of the product, its price, any special offers and the 'call to action' (e.g. call this number to buy).

People often use: repeated use of key words, humour, one sided and rhetorical questions. You might want to try some of these.

If you're writing to persuade it's good to use what we call 'imperatives' e.g. you MUST vote for Party X in the upcoming elections in order to ensure a fairer future. Or life will be better when all of us choose to spend more time volunteering.

When you're writing to persuade you often focus on the positives of your argument and discredit the arguments that oppose you for example, teenagers should be allowed to have mobile phones in school because it means that they can contact their parents easily if they needed to and those who say that we shouldn't are just infringing our human rights.

I have no idea what to do for this assignment

So i have this english assignment due on Monday and im not sure what im doing.

Okay so i have to write a persuasive speech answering these questions. 1.Identify the concepts represented in both texts. 2.Discuss how effectively the composers have communicated their ideas through analysis of how meaning is conveyed. 3.Do these representations reflect your own perspective of representations of protest or self? Explain with reference to both texts.

I have to use a poem A Mix of Many Things by Alyssa Murray and a something else and im using this “I wish I’d partied a little less. People always say ‘be true to yourself.’ But that’s misleading, because there are two selves. There’s your short term self, and there’s your long term self. And if you’re only true to your short term self, your long term self slowly decays.” I need to analyse them both and answer the questions. I have asked my teacher, the people in my class and I still don't understand it.

Persuasive writing formats in GCSE Eng Lang paper 2

In the Eduqas GCSE - Paper 2 Writing section - there are 2 questions asking students to write persuasively - eg. in the form of a letter, article, report, review. I can't find a list of what these forms could be - does anyone have any idea if there could be other forms, apart from the ones above? Or if there is a definite list of what might come up? Thank you
