Persuade Me!

We have been looking at persuasive writing this week. We had a debate on the topic 'School holidays should be longer'. Here are some of the reasons we came up with to support this statement.


I think it is important that school holidays are longer because some people's families live overseas and when you go to see them it takes a while for you to get used to them. (Beth)


I think it is important that school holidays are longer because  then if your older brother is in a different country then you have more time to visit. (Laila)


I think it is important that school holidays are longer because we get to see out family more often and have no homework. It would be fun. (Jacob)


I think it is important that school holidays are longer because ...
1. You can wear your pjs outside when it's warm.
2. You can catch up with friends.
3. You can sleep in late.
4. You can secretly turn on your lamp and read.
(Maiya)


I think it is important that school holidays are longer because you need time to recharge after all the hard work we've had to do. (Thomas)


I think it is important that school holidays should be longer because you can have a break off school and you can sleep in. You can go to places overseas so you can see some old friends that you haven't seen for a long time. I hope I succeeded in convincing you that we should have a long holiday. (Hannah)
