Practise your spellings.

Timmy thinks that fiction books are best, whereas Sally prefers non-fiction.

Which do you like better?

Make a list of the reasons why, then put together a persuasive argument to explain your preference. Remember, persuasive writing is one-sided and you will need to use plenty of persuasive language - e.g. I strongly believe ... It is clear that ... You must agree ... Surely, everyone understands that ... etc

One of my favourite books when I was little was the Guinness Book of Records. The first copy was produced in 1955 and they have so far sold 138 million in over 100 countries, translated into over 20 different languages.

Take a look at the short video below which introduces the new 2021 version, then use the link to look through the Guinness Book of Records Online - I particularly like the longest Hot Wheels track and the largest model railway: amazing!
