Here is a list of things you should not do when writing persuasive essays.

• Never ignore the arguments of your opponent as well as do not attack his/her way of life, beliefs, intelligence, etc.;
• Do not address popular opinions. The fact that “everybody thinks so” does not sound impressive;
• Do not use superlatives like nobody, all the time, etc. For instance, assertions like “Nobody actually believes that a man will land one day” are not a sign of a good persuasive essay.
• Do not state that one event caused another, unless you know it for sure. At least, do not use statements like “The United States failed to suppress the spread of communism because of the President Kennedy’s death” in your persuasive essay.
