Persuasive Writing- It Is A Good Idea To Have Pets

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing about why you should have a pet.🐸🐸

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	You Need A Pet!!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I Strongly believe that it is a good idea to have pets.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly, Pets are a good thing because they can be trained to do specific jobs like: Being a police dog, helping detect medical stuff. Some dogs have been trained to sniff out some medical problems with humans. Police dogs help sniff out drugs at airports and help find criminals by getting their scent and chasing after them.
	Secondly, Pets are good because they keep you amused and they give you company.  When you drop food on the floor you can just call them over and get them to eat it. They can be good to have around the house to catch mice and rats.
	Thirdly, pets are good because they can help people with disabilities like when someone isn’t capable of walking and they have a wheelchair they can get their dogs to pull them around or if there is a blind person they can get their pets to guide them around. Dogs can help people who have been in the war and suffer from trauma, dogs can be very calming for people.
	Finally,  pets are good because they can give you food  like eggs and meat. Some pets like cows and goats can give you milk. With goats milk you can make cheese with it.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion I think it is a good idea to have pets because they can be trained for specific jobs, they can give you food and they can help people with disabilities.🐸
