State that persuasive writing, known as creative writing or an 
argument, is a piece of writing in which the writer uses words to convince 
the reader that the writer’s opinion is correct with regard to an issue. 
Persuasive writing sometimes involves convincing the reader to perform 
an action, or it may simply consist of an argument or several arguments 
to align the reader with the writer’s point of view. Persuasive writing is 
one of the most commonly used writing types in the world. Persuasive 
writers employ many techniques to improve their arguments and show 
support for their claim.
This type of writing is often used for advertising copy, which is 
written in an attempt to get consumers to purchase specific products. It is 
also a form of writing in which someone tries to get readers to agree with 
a position. A well-written persuasive piece is supported with a series of 
facts which help the author argue his or her point. Many authors also 
include counterpoint arguments in their pieces which they can debunk, 
showing readers that they have considered both sides of the argument at 
hand, and that any arguments which could be raised against the side of 
the written piece could be dismissed. In addition to facts, authors may 
include anecdotes and hypothetical situations to build a stronger case.
15.Ask students to decide which of the listed points the author of

16.Ask students to look through the words and word-combinations

persuasive paragraph. Let students share the product with the
