1Hyperboleeg. If school canteens don't improve, our children will be as big as houses.
Hyperbole persuades the reader by exaggerating and therefore emphasising a point - making the situation seem more extreme than it really is.
2Generalisationeg. We all know that children don't like school, but they still need to be given homework.
Generalisations persuade the reader by manipulating them to accept that something generally true is always true.
3Repetitioneg. We need to stop wasting time, stop making excuses, and stop letting them get away with it.
Repetition emphasises a key point by repeating it, often trying to get a certain word or phrase stuck in the reader's head.
