A persuasive writer may make opinions look like facts –especially when it is difficult for the reader to contradict them, or will skilfully use facts to support his/her opinions. L. Follow up–writing an opinion. Write persuasively around 100 words about one of the following topics. Before you start, don’t forget to do some brainstorming and to organise your ideas: a) My town is the most beautiful place in the world. b) The Spanish omelette is the most wonderful food in the world.

In New York there are over 11,000 yellow cabs (taxis), which are as famous as the Empire State Building itself. There are times when every other car on the street is a cab. They will take you anywhere, but they are a bit expensive. However, if you still decide to take one, don’t forget to tip the driver (around 15% of the fare) or s/he might lose his/her up-to-then good manners. A. Before reading the text, answer the following questions in pairs. a) Who do people usually tip? b) Do you tip? / Have you ever tipped anyone? c) Have you ever been tipped? d) What is your opinion about tipping? e) If you were in New York and you took a taxi, where would you like to go? f) If you were anywhere in the world and you took a taxi, where would you like to go? B. The text below has six paragraphs, which have got mixed up by accident. Read the text and search for clues that may help you put them back in the right order 21 .
