Aliteration - its when each word in a sentence starts with the same letter e.g.

Fee Fi Fo Fum (i smell the blood of an englishmen)



(Sorry for the crappy example.)
Rhetorical question-one that needs no answer as it's obvious-eg Do you want to die in a car crash? (obvious answer.....NO!) Used in persuasive writing

List of three for emphasis: Do it well, do it fast do it now

Use of superlatives: This is the best drink/this is the worst school

Hyperbole: gross exaggeration

Emotive language to make the reader feel: These homeless, hungry babies are destitute.

Use of pronouns to identify the reader/writer realtionship: We all feel/surely you can see

Flattery:get the audience on your side-As I am sure your intelligence will tell you

And finally-good old OPINION as FACT: presenting beliefs as though they are factual truths: This is obviously the worst idea of course/ this type of holiday is excellent for your health

You could try using sensory description (describing through the 5 senses), using lists, or anecdotes. For more information on this you could listen to the podcast at:

It has a chapter on language.



Hope this helps!
