Persuasive Speech: Do Kids Have Kids Learning To Drive?

Decent Essays
Hi Everyone, I know a lot of us have kids who are learning to drive and I just thought I would pass this along. It's just a magnet you stick on the back of your car when your child is practicing. I've used this one since my girls started learning to drive 7 years ago. They sell them online and on eBay. It really seems to help to let other drivers know that they might want to keep their distance a little and to be patient. It helped to cut down on the "honking" we would sometime get if the kids were going a little too slow. Of course my kids weren't thrilled with the idea (embarrassed them a little) but I feel it was worth it until they got a little better at driving.

    Advertisements can be found all over the city no matter where you look. They can be presented by television commercials, print ads on billboards, Internet websites, and even the radio. The reasoning behind these ads is to persuade and argue why their product is more important than others. Sometimes these arguments can be used to persuade certain ideas that people think are right or wrong, and cause an argument socially, politically, or even religiously. Imagine this, it’s 1 a.m. and rearing to the end of the night with you and your friends.…

    GDLs are the most effective way to prevent car accidents involving teenagers. They help educate teens on how to drive so that they gradually pick up skills that aid them on the road. More time of instruction contributes to teens earning more experience. Text one sates that raising the driving age won’t save lives, and studies demonstrate that it’s inexperience that lead to these situations. This goes to show that it’s rushing the learning process rather than young age that is the root-cause of the problem.…

    In order to persuade my parents into helping me pay for a car I will mostly use pathos with some ethos by gaining credibility. I will first remind them both on my GPA of 3.5 all year long last year. I will tell them that if I get a car I may even improve because I will be able to come to school early and stay after school when I need help. I would tell them how I volunteer for things and that if I had a car I could volunteer for even more things. I would be able to volunteer for more things because I would not have to ask for a ride to everything I volunteer for.…
