C. Lesson Proper

In persuasive writing, a writer takes a position FOR or AGAINST an issue and

writes to convince the reader to believe or do something.

Purposes of Persuasive Writing:

 • Urge people to take an action

• Make a change

• Stir up sympathy

• Create interest

• Get people to agree with you

Format of Persuasive Writing:

1. Introduction – This is where the “hook” can be found.

2. Body - This is where the argument is being explained.

3. Conclusion - This is where main points are summarized and

reviewed. It is also where the reader is left with something to think about.

Forms of Persuasive Writing:

2. She will ask the students to read an excerpt entitled, “Students Should Not
Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phones to School” and they will list down the
reasons for not allowing students to bring cell phones to school.

Text: Students Should Not Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phones to School

(Excerpted)
In recent times, the number of people owning mobile phones has increased dramatically.
Now mobile phones are not just for calling, but you can now text, take and send pictures,
record videos, access the internet, play games and much more. The variety of functions
has increased dramatically. They have also become a lot cheaper. Thus more and more
young people now own a mobile. So should they be allowed to bring them to school?
Mobile phones can cause a distraction in education. They can disturb teachers and students.
For example, if you were working hard on a piece of work, concentrating hard, and a
person's phone rings, it disrupts the whole class. You may become side-tracked or the
teacher may be interrupted during speaking to the class. Thus teaching would be constantly
disrupted if this kept happening.
 Thus education standards would deteriorate. Looking then at long term effects, if this was
happening every day, you would be wasting five minutes a day, so nearly half an hour a
week, and so that would be over ten hours a year of disruption.

Research has proven that frequent use of a mobile phone can put the owner at risk of
long term health damage. Mobile phones have radiation in them which they send out
which can destroy or damage cells. Thus a student who uses a mobile phone regularly is
at risk of health damage. With the increase in ownership of mobiles, there is increased
usage and so the students are putting themselves at risk more and more of health
damage. Also younger students may not be properly educated on phone usage.
