英语写作技巧 19 - Appeal to Reason

Most people believe themselves to be reasonable, so appealing to a person's sense of reason is the most effective means of convincing them to change their way of thinking. Recognise that your audience feel they hold a reasonable view already, but try to dissuade that view by showing how much more reasonable your own position is. Provide evidence to support your ideas to suggest that they are reasonable and logical.
