MAKE THEM FEEL TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

1. Empathetic 2. Logical

3. Formally established

The content of a speech is far more important than the manner. It's more of a script because it's designed to be spoken rather than written. There is no set format, such as an article or letter; the emphasis here is on your language skills. You should aim to include all of the following persuasive writing language techniques:

A FOREST:

A Alliteration

F Facts

O Opinions

R Repetition

E Emotive Language

S Statistics

T Three (rule of)

Exam Tips:

• Write as though you were speaking. Your speech should read more like a transcript than an essay.

•When practising, use a text-to-speech dictation app and voice aloud your response once you've written it down.

•Then, examine how the writing appears on paper to get a sense of how your speech will seem.
