Here are some techniques to help

Metaphors/simile
Metaphors and Similes are used in figurative language to compare and contrast different objects or ideas. They are formed when words are put together so skilfully they conjure up pictures in the minds of the reader.
A simile: “This issue is like a hot potato and no one wants to touch it.” A simile makes comparisons using the words “like” and “as”.
Simile: My love is like a red, red rose
A metaphor: “ This issue is like a boat on rough water. Everyone has an opinion that is tossed around.” A metaphor makes symbolic and direct comparisons between two objects.

metaphor or simile
PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUE 6:
Emotive Language
Like many persuasive techniques, emotive appeals aim to engage people’s feelings, not logic or reason. If a writer can manipulate a reader to feel a certain way, that reader should be more likely to agree with the writer’s overall contention. Often writers will use other forms of persuasive language techniques in order to appeal to people’s emotions.

PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUE 9: Anecdote/ personal
experienceAnecdotes and personal experiences are stories involving real life events, a true story. Such stories can be used to back up an argument. To support a contention, and to make themselves appear more credible, writers often use personal anecdotes. Eg text; “I can tell you that, as a teenager, it can sometimes be very difficult to get up in the morning when you have spent most of the night social networking!”
1 minute to practice:Write a sentence that
uses personal experience or an anecdote about the topic of using computers.
