What type of writing is this?Smoking: The Killer!Have you ever coughed so much that your lungs feel like they are being dragged into your throat? Have you ever staggered yards from your door and been forced to sink breathless onto a seat?Smoking is the biggest killer of modern times. It eradicates your innards, beginning with your lungs, viciously attacking your heart and spreading the possibility of cancer wherever the smoke touches. It will take away your dignity and then it will take you, leaving your family to grieve your loss.

What will the audience be able to do after this training is complete? Briefly describe each objective and how the audience will benefit from this presentation.*

Writing to adviceIn writing to advice, you need to understand that you are expected to suggest what someone should do. The most important thing to think about here is the tone of your piece of writing. Advice is very similar to giving instructions, except you have to modify your tone of voice.

3. What type of writing is this? Animal Protection Animals were on the earth long before we were and they deserve to be not only left alone but looked after by us.

There is lots of evidence to suggest that we need to look after animals, as lots and lots of species are becoming extinct each year. But it is not even a matter of making sure the animals dont disappear it is also about the need to stop people hurting the animals that they want to have in their house. People do horrible things to cats, dogs, rabbits, etc every day.

However, some people argue that animals are lesser than us and that they can be used in order to stop people from becoming ill. Also they suggest that there are other more important things that we need to be doing before we protect animals, like getting rid of cancer.

Overall, animals are an important part of our lives but maybe there are more important things we should be spending our time worrying about.

Writing to argue:You are expected to understand that to argue you need to present different points of view.

The most important thing to consider when arguing is the organisation of your ideas.There are two types of argument: balanced and persuasive.

When writing a balanced argument it is important to use connectives.

Some connectives indicate that you are offering an alternative opinion.

Thesis Statement..When writing a balanced argument it is important to introduce the topic of each paragraph at the beginning.

This is called the topic sentence or Thesis statement.

Evidence

When writing a balanced argument it is also important to support ideas with evidence based on: facts, examples and opinions from experts.

Concluding Statement:When writing a balanced argument it is important to write a clear concluding statement.

Discussion:Yes or No to Television?

Many people have strong views about whether television is good for children or not. It has been a debate that has raged since television was first popular in the 1950s.

Television does help people to learn far more quickly, as it involves using both pictures and sound. This has been proven to be the case with programmes such as Sesame Street and Balamory, which has taught children to read and to make things.

However, the Teletubbies was actually criticised because it stopped childrens speech from developing appropriately. Parents were finding that their children were mimicking the speech of the characters rather than using correct words. Therefore, television can sometimes do more harm than good to the education of children.

Discuss outcomes of the case study or class simulation.Cover best practices. *

Furthermore, television has been directly linked to the increase in violence in society. 14% of all violent crime has been linked to people who have been inspired to commit crime because of something they have seen on the television. One such case was the kidnapping and murder of Jamie Bulger, where the boys who committed the crime were acting out a scene from Childs Play.

Yet, television does play an important part in keeping us informed about what is going on in the world. For example, many people listen to the news to help them understand better who they should vote for. The news also allows them to appreciate what is going on in their local area.

In conclusion, although television has been linked to violence in society, it also has many benefits. It seems to be up to people to make sure their children watch the correct things in order to get the most benefit.
