PERSUASIVE WRITING

 What is a Persuasive Text?

A persuasive text is a form of non-fiction writing that aims to convince the reader of a certain point of view. Adverts and newspaper columns are good examples of persuasive text. Though there are many techniques to write persuasively, most persuasive texts include a central argument, evidence to support the point and a conclusion, to summarise the text.

No matter where persuasive text is used, it tends to have one goal: to persuade the reader to take the side of the writer. Usually, writers using persuasive writing techniques will have an argument, idea or message that they're trying to convince the reader to agree with. Think about adverts, for example. They use techniques to convince you that their product is the best and that you need to buy their product. This is a type of argument. They're arguing that you should give them custom and buy their product.
