Explanation:
1. To persuade means to convince. A persuasive text is one written with the purpose of convincing the audience of your opinion.
2. What you talk about in the text you write is the issue or topic.
3. Your opinion is your point of view, that is, the perspective you have on a certain issue. For example, if discussing global warming, your point of view may be that industries should be penalized for polluting.
4. Evidence is anything an author presents to support his argument. He can use statistics as evidence, for example.
5. Examples also support an argument by illustrating it. Suppose you claim crime has been increasing in a certain area of your city. You can mention your neighbor who was mugged last week as an example.
6. Instruction manuals and news articles are examples of expository texts. This type of text has the purpose of informing the audience of something.
7. Sensory details help readers create a vivid image in their minds of what the author is describing. This is done by using words that appeal to the senses (bright, sweet, soft, cold, etc.)
8. Figurative language, such as metaphor, personification, and simile, among others, use language in a different way with the purpose of changing their meaning in that particular context.
9. Climactic refers to climax. If you use a climactic order, you want your text to build tension or suspense until the part where you finally let readers know what they have been waiting for. Similar to what happens in a movie, for instance.
10. A text that uses spatial order will describe the position of things - if they are above or below, on the left or on the right, etc.
