TechniqueExamples
Flattery – complimenting your audience.A person of your intelligence deserves much better than this.
Opinion – a personal viewpoint often presented as if fact.In my view, this is the best thing to have ever happened.
Hyperbole – exaggerated language used for effect.It is simply out of this world – stunning!
Personal pronouns – ‘I’, ‘you’ and ‘we’.You are the key to this entire idea succeeding – we will be with you all the way. I can’t thank you enough!
Imperative command – instructional language.Get on board and join us!
Triples – three points to support an argument.Safer streets means comfort, reassurance and peace of mind for you, your family and your friends.
Emotive language – vocabulary to make the audience/reader feel a particular emotion.There are thousands of animals at the mercy of our selfishness and disregard for kindness.
Statistics and figures – factual data used in a persuasive way.80% of people agreed that this would change their community for the better.
Rhetorical question – a question which implies its own answer.Who doesn’t want success?
Think about using the above techniques to support your arguments

  2. Yosif I.

    Hello there! Always worn out employed at a job you don’t like? Why wouldn’t you work at Mc’Donald or something? Well, a person of your intelligence should not deserve should attitude like this! Why not have a day out! Reasonably thinking, why not visit the one, the only Coventry!
    Oh don’t tell me why because this is the greatest, finest, yet most educational place to have a day out! Remarkably brilliant with amazing artistic works under the work of engineer! But don’t underestimate the views as I say. Lots of locations to position on your map! Why not visit the Cathedral bombed to be a fortune. Also, without your understanding, we have built a new cathedral, built beautifully, stained with colorful glass and modern art from the Victorians. So as not said, book a ticket and fly your way to an adventure. Also, want to borrow one of our industrial food? That’s a A-Okay with us 👍🏻 There are unexplained mystery’s out there, so be careful. You don’t no what’s up our sleeve…. but no worries :)

    1. Yosif I.

      I hope this is good and awesome to persuade somebody to Coventry.

    2. Mrs Ahmed

      Interesting Yosif, not entirely sure why you’re talking about a job at the start but yes Coventry does have a rich history of transport, being the city of reconciliation (named after the Blitz) etc.

  3. Anya D.

    1. Mrs Ahmed

    Thinking of taking a break from all of the commotion? Want to go somewhere without the excessive pollution and overpopulation? Well I know just the place to go! Coventry is perfect for a nice calm environment and not only will you enjoy your visit but you will also gain educational knowledge about the extrodinary city’s history . Visit the famouse Coventry Cathedral which had been bombed in The Blitz way back in World War II. Explore the remains and the cobbled floors from decades ago. You’ll even get to see the NEW cathedral and it’s astonishing glass paintings.

    If not why not visit our wonderful museums, from ancient artifacts to fossils, we’ve got it all! Pay a visit to our Herbert art gallery and museum to inspect immaculate pieces of art and have a look at some real animal bones. Marvel at the hippopotamus teeth and the stuffed animals and birds. Maybe visit the transport museum if your more into motors and have a look at the first ever cars and bikes ever to be made.

    But if your not in the mood for this kind of stuff we have a solution! Coombe Park is a calming, natural wonderland and is filled with wildlife. Exhilarating streams and towering trees, soaring birds and colourful flower buds. You’ll be sure to have a blast .

    But if your the sporty type then come over to Coventry to watch some top notch sports!Wasps, the historic rugby team which has a history dating back to 1867, has been a Coventry club since a move from London in 2014. They now play in the Premiership at the Ricoh Arena, and boast a captain in the shape of England international Joe Launchbury.

    So visit coventry and even more landmarks for a fun time for you and why not tag along with a few others? Whether it’s your family or friends , a visit to Coventry is just the right place to go. It’s not all museums and parks but we have many other places . Coventry is renowned for its historical landmarks so be sure to visit Lady Godiva’s statue. That’s right we have a statue as well and come over for an amazing story all about it…

    Why should people visit Coventry ?

    A little bit about Coventry!

    Coventry is a city, administrative centre and metropolitan borough in England and the United Kingdom. It is built on the River Sherbourne, which remains largely hidden by infrastructure, although it can be seen by the canal. Coventry has been a large settlement for centuries, although it was not founded and given its city status until the Middle Ages; since then it has been one of the most important and largest cities of the country. The conurbation consists of the Coventry and Bedworth Urban Area, being the 20th largest in the country; the city is governed by Coventry City Council.

    The history !

    The Romans founded a settlement in Baginton, next to the River Sowe, and another formed around a Saxon nunnery, founded . AD 700 by St Osburga, that was later left in ruins by King Canute’s invading Danish army in 1016. Earl Leofric of Mercia and his wife Lady Godiva built on the remains of the nunnery and founded a Benedictine monastery in 1043 dedicated to St Mary. In time, a market was established at the abbey gates and the settlement expanded.

    Coventry Castle was a motte and bailey castle in the city. It was built in the early 12th century by Ranulf de Gernon, 4th Earl of Chester. Its first known use was during The Anarchy when Robert Marmion, a supporter of King Stephen, expelled the monks from the adjacent priory of Saint Mary in 1144, and converted it into a fortress from which he waged a battle against the Earl. Marmion perished in the battle.It was demolished in the late 12th century and St Mary’s Guildhall was built on part of the site. It is assumed the name “Broadgate” comes from the area around the castle gates.

    By the 14th century, Coventry was an important centre of the cloth trade, and throughout the Middle Ages was one of the largest and most important cities in England. The bishops of Lichfield were often referred to as bishops of Coventry and Lichfield, or Lichfield and Coventry (from 1102 to 1541). Coventry claimed the status of a city by ancient prescriptive usage, was granted a charter of incorporation in 1345, and in 1451 became a county in its own right. The plays that William Shakespeare witnessed in Coventry during his boyhood or ‘teens’ may have influenced how his plays, such as Hamlet, came about.

  24. Hadisa D.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I am writing to let you know about the brilliant city of Coventry which attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. Coventry is an amazing city, do not miss out on all the spectacular views!

    Firstly, Coventry has been awarded the award for the City of Culture 2021.
    You can expect large-scale spectacle, music, dance, theatre and poetry as well as more intimate, celebratory cultural and heritage experiences in every ward of the city.The city has a history of reinventing itself. It is a city of peace, and a city of innovation and a city of diversity. In 2021 we will celebrate everything in our history from the jet engine to watchmaking and even The Specials – so much started in Coventry and so much will continue to grow and develop into the future.

    There are also some very famous landmarks for you to see, located in the heart of the city, the City Centre. There are examples of these famous landmarks below.

    Coventry Cathedral
    The original St Michael’s Cathedral in Coventry was built between the late 14th century and early 15th century. It now stands ruined, bombed almost to destruction during the massive attack on the city by German bombers.
    The tower, spire, and outer wall of the church survived the bombing, but the rest of this historic building was destroyed. After the war, the cathedral was not rebuilt on site but left in ruins as a testament to the futility of war.

    Lady Godiva statue
    Lady Godiva is a key figure in the history of Coventry. Lady Godiva, the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, reportedly rode naked around the city in a bid to get her husband to reduce taxes in the 11th Century. There has been a statue made in honour of Lady Godiva. Without Lady Godiva, the taxes would be much higher now by they are not because Lady Godiva rode through Coventry naked.

    The Transport museum
    It houses the largest collection of British-made road transport held in public ownership. Coventry Transport Museum is home to one of the largest collections of British road transport in the world – a collection of Designated national importance, consisting of 300 cycles, 120 motorcycles and 250 cars and commercial vehicles, and over a million archive and ephemera items.

    Herbert art gallery
    Housing approximately 320,000 objects, the Herbert’s collection is one of Coventry’s most important cultural assets and a priceless resource for engagement, learning and creativity.The Herbert has been actively developing a collection of art on the themes of conflict, peace and reconciliation. This is an important subject for the museum and for Coventry, reflecting the city’s role in promoting peace and reconciliation.

    Now you have read about Coventry and what makes it so unique, what do you think about it? Coventry is so unique and wonderful there is no match for it anywhere.
