Persuasive Writing - Why we should have pets

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing about why we should have pets.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	IT IS A GOOD IS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE PETS!!!!!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I believe that having pets is a really great thing. Many people all over the world have pets.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly, we should have pets because pets can be trained to do special jobs. For example, they can do Search and Rescue and they can go with people to look for lost people. Also dogs can be guard dogs and they watch their owners properties for burglars or robbers. Also there can be airport dogs which can see if people are carrying drugs to a place.
	Secondly, pets can comfort you and keep you company. For example, people that live alone usually have pets to keep them company. Also if people are sad or unhappy pets can make them feel better by doing tricks or jumping and licking the people which people really love!
	Thirdly, pets can help people with disabilities. For example, people can be sick and their pets can make them feel better. Also pets can remind people to take their medicine. Sometimes if people are blind they use dogs that can show them the way to go.
	Finally, pets can produce food and resources for people. For example, cows and goats produce milk. Chickens produce eggs and sheep produce wool. Also if you have a special machine you can get bacon from pigs.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion I believe that people should have pets because pets can be trained to do special jobs, pets can comfort you and keep you company, pets can help people with disabilities, and pets can produce food and resources for people. I strongly believe that people should have pets.

Persuasive Writing - Why we should fix our field

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing about why we should fix our field.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	Fix Our Mara(field)!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I strongly believe we should fix the school mara(field). We need to fix the mara(field) because it is wet and muddy most of the time and we can’t go onto it. Also sometimes we need to do important sports training and special events.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly, The Board of Trustees and Mrs Truman should fix the mara(field) because everyone is crowded and kids don’t have enough space to do games and sports.
	Secondly, balls go over the fence and it sometimes takes ages to get them back. For example Miss Ireland was so busy on duty that it took 10 minutes to get my ball and I was really bored waiting.
	Thirdly, kids can get hurt because there is not enough space to play and little kids can get knocked over by big kids.
	Finally, it’s a waste of money because there’s equipment the school does not use because the mara(field) is off limits. For example we can’t really play touch or soccer because you can fall over easily and on the concrete it hurts but on the mara(field) it won’t hurt.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion, we need to need our mara(field) because everyone is crowded and kids don’t have enough space to do things, to do games and sports, balls go over the fence, kids can get hurt because there is not enough space to play, it’s a waste of money because there’s equipment the school does not use. It is vital that he have a good mara(field) at our school!
