S2 Exercise 33: Persuasion (13)

PERSUASION TASK 13

All that is left is to finish off your essay neatly

 Here is the curfews example for you to look at

Example

These arguments show that curfews are not the right solution to the problem of youth crime.   Therefore, although some people argue that they are the only way to control teenage misbehaviour I believe I have shown that curfews should not be enforced.  Parents should be the ones who are responsible for setting times for their children to be home and for making sure they commit no criminal acts not the police or the government.

Notice that the conclusion needs to:

• Restate the strong point of view of the writer
• Present one or two general sentences which summarise the arguments
• Refer again to the opposing argument
• Include a suitably persuasive final sentence
