Q2. Your school is holding a fund – raising

event for a national charity

Choose a famous person and write a letter to persuade him or her to take part in that event.

I’ve chosen Kylie Minogue.

This is a letter so I’ve got to think about structure. Setting it

out properly.

Hmm…It’s also a piece

of persuasion.

I’ve got to persuade Kylie to come to

school, even though she’s busy.

It needs to be a

bit different.

What does Kylie want to hear? Flattery, yes,

that’s always very

persuasive

What does Kylie want to hear?

I’ll try to get her to

identify with the cause –

the old NSPCC.

What does Kylie want to hear? I’ll make sure

I mention the Media

interest.

It’ll be good for

her image.

What does Kylie want to hear? I’ll appeal to

her better nature.

Let her know, ‘we’d be ever

so grateful’ etc

What does Kylie want to hear?

I’ll stress the difference

she can make.
