“A persuasive paragraph tries to convince the reader that a particular point of view is
worthy of consideration. It wants you to consider both sides of an issue, but it reveals a
bias in favor of one side over another.” (Taken from:
https://www.learnamericanenglishonline.com/Write_in_English/WL14_persuasive_para
graphs.html#:~:text=A%20persuasive%20paragraph%20tries%20to,of%20one%20side
%20over%20another .)

Some tips on how to write a persuasive paragraph are:

1. Pick a topic you’re passionate concerning environmental problems and


helping nature.
2. Research both sides. In order to convince the reader to agree with you, you
also have to know what you’re trying to get them to disagree with.
3. Be empathetic. An effective persuasion technique is the use of empathy. A
reader is more inclined to believe you if they feel like you can relate to and
understand their experiences.
4. Ask rhetorical questions. Presenting questions that the reader will be forced
to answer for themselves later on is another good persuasive strategy,
especially when the information provided to help make that decision is
supportive of your point of view.
5. Emphasize your point. The use of exaggeration in order to express urgency,
exclusivity, or just to make a point is another useful persuasive technique.
6. Repeat yourself. Strategic repetition can be an effective way to gradually
remind the reader of your message. Finding different ways to make the same
point by use of rephrasing, true stories, metaphors, or other literary devices all
serve to reinforce your point without bogging down the reader with
repetitiveness.

Pollution, an urgent problem for the planet

Pollution of our environment is one of the most worrying and controversial


events.

Earth is a unique planet in the solar system. With an incredible diversity of


life, man does not realize that he has an unrepeatable gift in which to
develop his existence.

The issue of pollution of our planet is not something new, but it could be
said that today the study of it requires special importance. Because? Simply
because now more than ever man is polluting.

Several studies carried out by experts have shown that air, soil and sea
pollution in the last hundred years has been greater than that produced in
several centuries of history.

Another of the well-known consequences is the phenomenon known as


climate change. In this regard, the European Union points out, "Climate
change is one of the greatest challenges that humanity will have to respond
to in the coming years. Rising temperatures, melting glaciers,
multiplication of droughts and floods: everything points to because climate
change has begun. The risks are immense for the planet and future
generations, forcing us to act urgently "
