So now you can write a convincing piece of writing – be it essay, exam, blogpost or comment.
Do not be afraid to scroll down and see how this blog works.
There really is quite enough on it already to provide real diversity.
Most people just stick to one boring old way of commenting.
Lots of this:
“Well you would say that wouldn't you. You are a Fascist pig!” (ad hominem)
or
“Have you read Robert Rattlesnake on the subject of Brexit? Until you do, you ought to shut up.” (Appeal to Authority).
Very few people use the boring start – except in exams. Why not give it a whirl?
And very few people use the nice approach. Try it! It can transform an entire conversation if you set out to be nice. Use one of the suggestions below to start your paragraphs too.
Here are a couple of nice quotations to help you on your way:
Writing in 1711, Joseph Addison stated that “Zeal...is a great ease to the malicious man., by making him believe he does God service while he is gratifying the bent of a perverse revengeful temper. For this reason we find that most massacres and devastations which have taken place in the world have taken their rise from a furious pretended zeal.”and
“Your speech should always be pleasant and interesting and you should know how to give the right answer to everyone.” - Paul of Tarsus.
