Persuasive writing-Why is it a good idea to have pets

We have been doing persuasive writing about why we should have pets. Here is my persuasive writing about pets.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	Pets
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I strongly believe we should have pets.
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	Firstly ,  it is a great idea to have pets!!!.  They give many people comfort  like they can give you cuddles and you can pat them.  They are funny like my dog eats teabags.
	Secondly, they are very fun to play with when you are bored. For example , you can  play ball  or  run  together.   Other things you can do with your pets are playing jumping barrels or going to the dog park.
	Thirdly,  some dogs are specially trained for people with disabilities . Also they can sniff out when  you are going to have an epileptic fit. If you are blind they can help you know where to go.
	Finally, pets are good to have because they can give you food like pet chickens give you eggs and goats and cows give you milk.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	I strongly think having pets is a good idea because they give many people comfort,  they are very fun to play with when you are bored,  some dogs are specially trained for people with disabilities and pets are good to have because they can give you food. I strongly believe we should have pets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Persuasive Writing Why We Should Fix Our Field

We have been having a go at writing a piece of persuasive writing 
Here is my piece of my writing about why we should fix our field.

Title A Short Statement about the topic. eg. ‘Rugby League Is A Great Sport’	FIX OUR FIELD NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW!!!!!
Overview/ Statement of position A brief statement of your view about the topic.  What you believe or want to argue.	I strongly think we really need to fix our field NOW NOW NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!
Series of Arguments Reasons Your points supporting your view about the topic.  Your arguments to support your statement and information to support these arguments. Remember -argument -supporting detail, reasons, examples	I think that we should fix our field because we need to keep fit,train for cross country, rippa rugby, soccer,and much more. So please  fix  our field.
	Secondly, we might not have the gala because we won’t  have   space for the bouncy castle etc. + We need drainage so we can have the delicious hangi but if it is boggy all the time we won’t be able to have these lovely things and we won’t be able to get enough money for the school to upgrade.
	Thirdly, we don’t have enough space to play and have fun. Only being able to use the concrete is a hazard for injuries and also we are crowded into the little space that we have.
	Lastly some of the equipment in the PE shed can’t be used. We have expensive sports gear that isn’t being used and that's a waste of money.
Concluding statement Summing it up.  A summary of your arguments and your view on the topic.	In conclusion we need to  fix our field now  because we need it for the  gala, training for sport  and for space to play.  For these reasons we need to fix our field.
