Argumentative/Persuasive Writing (HKDSE 英文作文) – language devices – Part 2

除左之前提過既rhetorical questions & rule of 3. 其實仲有唔少日常生活見到既devices可以幫到我地作文。

The use of pronouns

To be persuasive, you need to engage your audience. We should use ‘we’ and ‘you’ appropriately so as to connect with your audience. The pronoun 'we' is used to invoke a sense of collectivity and to share responsibility. 'You' is used to convey common sense or generally admitted truth. The use of 'our' is also common in persuasive writing but we are not going to cover it here.

Example (s)

1.     “Members of Congress, we must work together to help control those costs and extend the benefits of modern medicine  throughout our country” (George W. Bush)
2.     Should we just sit and do nothing?
3.     Do you know what is the most effective remedy for global warming? It is your support and determination.

Alliteration

The use, especially in poetry, of the same sound or sounds, especially consonants, at the beginning of several words that are close together.

Example (s)

1.     It is disturbing, and disappointing that hikers littered along hiking trails.
2.     Reuse, recyle and reduce are the key to reducing waste.

Argumentative/Persuasive Writing (HKDSE 英文作文) – language devices – Part 1

今次試下寫d新野，睇下會唔會幫到大家作文。DSE考生最鍾意寫既其中一個genre就係article，通常都係argumentative essay 或姐一d帶persuasive nature既文體。langauge devices 可以幫你豐富篇文，同時切合文章既類型，今次就介紹其中兩個language devices先。

When you are writing an argumentative/persuasive text, consider using the following devices to make your writing more convincing:

1.     Rhetorical questions

2.     Rule of 3

3.     The use of pronouns

4.     Alliteration

5.     Counter arguments

6.     Evoke imagination

 

Rhetorical questions

Rhetorical questions are used to create a dramatic effect or to make a point. You can also use rhetorical questions to introduce an argument. Sometimes, we can also give answers to the questions to articulate our thoughts clearly.

 

Example(s)

1.     Who wouldn’t want to be a millionaire?

2.     Should we just sit and do nothing?

3.     Do you know what is the most effective remedy for global warming? It is your support and determination.

 

Rule of 3

If you are going to use adjectives for your examples, try to use three adjectives together. It is not necessary to use adjectives.

 

Example(s)

1.     It is annoying, upsetting and disappointing that some people litter in country parks.

2.     It takes blood, sweat and tears of the legislators to make the financial crisis reforms possible.
