How do you approach to a question on ';Argue, persuade, advise'; on the GCSE english exam?

I would also like to know how to answer on a question to write as a leaflet, letter, speech.

There is some really good information on these sites site.http://www.englishbiz.co.uk/ %26amp; http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/english/writingnonfict/





We have some audio on this subject on the way but the GCSE teacher who writes it recommends using SPARL FC to help you approach it.





S-structure Have a clear strong opening and summary, with a middle which backs up what you have said.





P-Purpose Think about what you are trying to achieve through the task. Change a teacher's mind? Advise a child? Persuade a parent?





A-Audience-Think about who the audience for your task is. For example, if it's teenagers your own age, you might be less formal that if you were asked to write a letter to the school board.





R-Register/tone-Again think about your tone/register. It will be affected by who you are writing for and what about. A leaflet about a fun run will have a very different tone to a speech about stopping smoking, for example.





L-Language - Check that your language is appropriate for what you are being asked to do. You wouldn't use text speak in a letter to a teacher and you wouldn't say ';Dear Miss Smith, It was a great honour to have the pleasure of your company yesterday evening'; in a letter to your best friend.





FC - Form and content - Study letters, leaflets etc to see how they are laid out and their formats.





A few more tips





Advise - sound like an expert. Use language like ';you should';, ';you could';, ';why don't you';





Persuade - Use statistics, facts and emotional language to persuade someone of your point of view.





Good luck!

Argue: Get your point across by being more aggressive in approach


Persuade: Your idea is better than theirs, you must make them listen


Advise: You give a validated opinion.





Leaflet: A short account on whats on offer


Letter: More personalised approach, and more factual


Speech: A quicker response, to the effect of the listener being there.
