Kavi Wants to Win You Over
"When you persuade, you don't just tell — you try to make the reader agree and act," said Kavi. "Start by stating your view — what you believe. Then back it with clear reasons (because…) and evidence (a fact or an example). Speak straight to your reader — Wouldn't you want that too? — and finish with a call to act: So please, do it today!"
