 If you're a GCSE student, here are three persuasive devices that you can use in any language, paper two, question number five, answer that you write. Number one, statistics. Whether you're writing a letter, article or speech, when you are answering the statement, make sure you back up your argument by adding a made up statistics. 20% of people believe that animal cruelty is the biggest problem in society today. 70% of people drive cars every day and this is what's contributing to climate change, for example. Number two, rule a three or triplet. We must act, we must move, we must strive, for example. And number three, an anecdotal or made up case study. For example, Sadie Smith, AO11 student, found that going on holiday every year helped with the mental health.
