An example of  persuasive writing:

Should All Children Have To Play Sport?

All children should certainly play sport. Everyone knows sport is great for you. Sport rocks!

Most importantly, playing sport keeps children fit and healthy. Growing bodies need lots of exercise and the best way to do this is by playing sport. Scientists have shown the children who play sport are healthier than children who sit and play computer games. Everybody knows that it is important to be fit and healthy!

Obviously, there is a sport for everyone. There are lots of sports children can play like soccer, netball, cricket and softball.  Even people in wheelchairs can play some sports.

Additionally, playing in a team is great for children because they can make lots of new friends. They also learn how to work together in a team and cooperate. Who wouldn’t want to make new friends?

In conclusion, all children should absolutely play sports. So what are you waiting for, go play a sport now!
