Persuasive writing

Should We Have A Gala Day Every Year?
Image result for gala day`


FOR:
AGAINST:
  • You can make money
  • Sell good things
  • It’s FUN!
  • Buy stuff?
  • Fundraise for trips and camps
  • Exciting
  • Buy stuff?
  • Preparations
  • No money…..
  • Mistakes
  • People may not turn up
  • Weather location
  • Not enough time to prepare

Firstly, I think we should have a gala every year because it’s fun and exciting. If we didn’t have a gala day each year we won’t be able to fundraise to go on trip and camps. Even though it cost heaps to get all the ingredients and other things it’s still worth fundraising for.

Secondly, I believe that if we have a gala day each year I reckon we would make a lot of money and fundraise to go on trips and camps.

Thirdly, I think we should have a gala day every year because we get to have yummy foods and have  fun activities, you also get to spend time with your family and friends.

Lastly, having a gala day every year I think is fun, it teaches us how to fundraise for trip and camps and can also help us get ready to prepare a job in the future. Gala days are exciting and entertaining.

WALT: convince Nicholas that Family is more important than Money.

WALT: convince Nicholas that Family is more important than Money.

Family is more important than Money.

Dear Nicholas,  i’ve heard that you have created a machine that turns your memories into gold so I am writing this letter to you because I think that family is more important than money.

Firstly, I believe that family is more important than money because family is the single most important influence in a child's life. From their first moments in life, children depend on parents and family to protect them and provide for their needs. Parents and families are also important because they are the first form of a child's first relationship.

Having lots of gold may make you feel secure and live a comfortable lifestyle can unquestionably contribute to your overall sense of well-being, but it can't compare to having a close connection with the people you love the most. If you don't pay enough attention to your family it can lower your quality of life, but if you pay too much attention to  your machine that turns you memories into gold it can really damage your relationship with your family because you lose out on time and connections with them.
