Techniques_to-support-the-argument (Ss response)
Firstly, we have discussed techniques that we use to support arguments.

- Question. Asking a rhetorical question will engage your readers and get them to relate to your topic. For example, “Can you recall your very first childhood memory?”
- Anecdote. Telling a very brief story that relates to your essay subject can help get your audience interested. Focus on something you can communicate in two or three sentences; the anecdote will lose steam if it goes on for half a page.
- Quotation. A relevant quotation can help get your reader thinking about and relating to your subject matter. Be sure to always properly credit your source using the author’s or speaker’s full name.
- Small to Large. Start with a very small detail or fact; then, relate it to something larger. For example, “On average, Americans use about a gallon of water every time they brush their teeth, which means we’re losing 600 million gallons down the drain in this country every day.”
- Large to Small. Start with a larger fact; then, narrow it down to something smaller and more relatable. “Water scarcity affects nearly 3 billion people every single day, but average Americans waste a gallon down the drain every time they brush their teeth.”
I'm sorry but actually the whole post has been plagiarised. Very upsetting. Not sure why you thought it was all right to do it, did you?
