Persuasion
Persuasion involves not only making a suggestion but actively trying to convince someone to agree with you and accept it. As such, it is a mild and (usually) acceptable form of arguing.
But evidently to use cliches is by far not enough. What you need is valid arguments to really persuade a person to do this or that. Remember that to be convincing you must abide by certain rules in logics:
Persuasion
(Oh) come on I don’t know, but
Don’t you think I’ll tell you what
After all Look
I'm awfully sorry to ask you … but Why don’t we
It’s important for you I know you can do it
It’s crucial for you If you do it... I’ll
It’s necessary for you Let’s do …
What you don't seem tounderstand is that
Going in to persuasions
(Well) I guess so All right
Maybe you’re right Look – I’ll tell you what
Oh, if you insist We’ll see
Making suggestions
What do you say Why don't you try
Maybe you could Don’t you think
If I were you I have an idea
I was wondering if you'd everthought of
I wonder/was wondering how to attend
I think it might be a good idea to
Resisting persuasion
I don’t know No way
Oh (with using information) Absolutely not
We’ll see I don’t care
I know, but That’s all out of thequestion
I don’t see how That might be OK, but
That’s a good idea, but I see what you mean, but
That’s true, but
Some means that can be useful in persuading others
1. Citing facts to support your view, naming their source if the facts are likely to be doubted.
2. Relating relevant incidents or experiences in which you or others have been involved. A vividly told experience is memorable and convincing.
3. Citing authorities who support your view. Brief direct quotations from the authority are impressive.
4. Using humour and funny stories to hold the interest of your readers or listeners. (Be sure, however, that you don’t drag in a joke simply to get a laugh. The funny story can illustrate your arguments in a memorable way.)
5. Using associations to establish a link between things everyone likes (nice people, good feelings, etc.) and the point of view for which you are arguing, or vice versa.
6. Making a direct appeal, once you have established your case, by expressing your conviction with sincerity or feeling.
7. Appealing to emotions, if the subject is one you feel deeply about. Don’t, however, let the emotion drown the thinking!
