Persuasive Writing - Why We Should Have Pets

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing. Here is my piece of writing on why it is a good idea to have pets. 


Title
A Short Statement about the topic.
eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’

Pets Are Great     



Overview/ Statement of position
A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.
I strongly believe that having pets is a really great thing!


Series of Arguments
Reasons
Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments.

Remember
-argument
-supporting detail, reasons, examples


Firstly, Pets are extremely great for people with disabilities!   For example, guide dogs help their owner (who is blind ) to walk around places by leading them around. Guide dogs (or  hearing dogs) also help people that are deaf or find it hard to hear. Hearing dogs are specially trained to alert their owner if there is an emergency or an everyday sound such as a doorbell. The dog will nudge their owner and lead them to the source or to safety.
Secondly, Pets are extremely helpful  for people that are lonely or have depression! People that are lonely normally have a pet to keep them company.  For example, if you have depression your pet will cheer you up.
Thirdly,  pets are great for doing jobs. Dogs work in the police force to find things and to find people. For example, dogs pick up a scent of a person and go to find them. At the airport dogs sniff bags for anything bad.  For example, when I went to the international airport a dog came up to us and sniffed our bags.
Finally, pets are good for warning people about medical conditions. Pets can detect if you have cancer or if you are about to have an epileptic fit. if you are about to have a stroke or if you have diabetes and you are high in sugar. Experts train dogs to sniff diseases  or medical conditions.






Concluding statement
Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.

In conclusion, I think that people should have pets because they are extremely great for blind and deaf people,  pets are really helpful for people that are depressed.  Pets are great for doing jobs and are extremely good for sniffing out medical conditions.  It is extremely important for people to have pets.
