I am writing to express my gratitude for the recent article devoted to banning cars from the downtown area published in your newspaper.
I am confident the local Department of Environmental Safety would make the right decision if it banned cars from this particular area. The nose and pollution caused by vehicles are unbearable and the Department had to do something about it a long time ago. I am also in favour of creating special bicycle lanes which undoubtedly increase the popularity of using bicycles in our town. What is more, the number of traffic fatalities which is on the increase today will definitely slow down or even stop altogether if the actions are taken.
As for the free public transportation I have a concern that this decision is a bit premature. I worked as an economist for the local council committee in the past and I know that this step would badly hurt our local budget. The number of dwellers in the town has been increasing every year and we do not have enough funds to cover free bus passes.
All things considered, I feel the local community would benefit if the above-mentioned decisions were implemented. And I would be thankful if my suggestion were taken into consideration too.
The pitch itself needs to be full of words that actually elicit a response. You can do this easily by framing your statements around key phrases.
For example, “car accident” is a phrase that makes you think of many different types of vehicle collisions. But if you’re trying to persuade someone to buy car insurance, you won’t say that there are thousands of car accidents each day. You’ll say that there are thousands of car-related deaths every day.
“Death” is a more powerful word than “accident,” and advertisers use this method every day in order to convince people to buy products.
Here are some more words that are claimed to be the most persuasive in the English language.
2. Dress up, but don’t talk down.
Nice clothes go a long way in helping you maintain confidence, even if no one is around to see you. The nasty side effect is that being the most well-dressed person in the room can result in talking down or being condescending to people who are actually above you.
