Anecdotes! For writing task.

This is a re-blog (as is some of the other stuff I will post tonight), but this really is the kinda of thing which sorts out the good responses from the EXCELLENT ones...


ANECDOTES -

If you are writing a letter, article etc (especially if you are trying to use emotive language), then use an ANECDOTE. This is a made up story which helps you to make your point. Imagine you have been asked to improve road safety on days lane..

"Take Tommy Frost, for example. Tommy is just a normal boy who went to a local school. One day he was on his way home from a hard day studying when a car sped around the corner and knocked him off his bicycle. Tommy was badly injured and required weeks worth of hospital treatment to cure him from his terrible injuries. Tommy is now scared to go out on his bike, and suffers flashbacks about his ordeal. Don't you think it is important to help children like Tommy?"

You know what to do!
