Sarcasm and name-calling weaken an argument. Logic and fairness will help to keep it strong. · Make your best argument your last argument. · Select your words carefully, have them evoke an image. Persuasion is about appealing to all the emotions of the reader. The use of adjectives and logic will convey a vivid picture and will make the reader believe you and that you write as an authority on the subject. · No personal pronouns and no I think, I feel, I believe as these phrases all weaken your perspective because the reader is less likely to think you are writing from fact than fiction. · No personal experiences unless they are generic meaning everyone has them and can relate to them and they convey a vivid and immediate image.
