What is Persuasive Writing?
Persuasive writing is used to convince or persuade a reader that the writer's opinion of a topic or cause is correct.
1. Title implies the point of view.
The title of your writing should already show which viewpoint you stand or agree. Example: 'Workers should have 3 Days of Weekend'.
2. Reasons to support viewpoint.
In order to ensure that your viewpoint is valid and strong, you should provide at least 3 reasons. Example: It provides sufficient rest. Adults are more motivated after a full rest. It nearly balances the ratio of work days and rest days.
3. Facts and evidences to support reasons.
Each reason must be backed up with facts and evidences. Reasearch is necessary in order to persuade readers.
4. Connectives to link ideas.
Use strong connectives to attract readers' attention. Example: however, therefore, furthermore.
5. Persuasive devices: Agreement.
Since you are convincing people, ensure that your sentences and words have no doubts. Example: obviously, without a doubt.
6. Powerful adjectives.

8. Conclusion to summarize and share opinions.
Conclude your reason in one paragraph and remind readers on your viewpoint. Example: 'In conclusion, workers should have 3 days of weekend as it will benefit greatly on their performance.
