Types of Writing Argument-Persuasive Writing:

tries to persuade the reader to believe, think, or act

Informative Writing:informs or explains something

Narrative Writing: tells a story

Descriptive Writing:makes a picture in the reader’s mind

When would you use these styles of writing?

When we write argumentative texts we can just state our opinions or beg and whine. Instead we need to use facts , reasons, examples to support our opinions.
