According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos. Ethos is a speaker39。s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One mon way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you39。re more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. Pathos is a speaker39。s way of connecting with an audience39。s emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make thee viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money. Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”. Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a mercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.(1)What is the purpose of persuasion?

As Brazilian landowners cut down rainforests to make room for profitable plantations(種植園) and cattle grounds, he struggled to bring the jungles of his childhood back to life. When I was a child, the peasants cut down the trees to make grasslands and charcoal, and the water dried up and did not e back, he told the reporters, I thought: 39。Water is valuable, no one makes water and the population will not stop growing. What is going to happen? We are going to run out of water.39。 With only some donkeys and a small team of hired workers, Antonio Vicente set about bringing back the forest to his land. What started out as a weekend hobby soon became a permanent way of life, and Antonio recalls often spending whole days and nights in his young jungle, surrounded by rats and foxes, and eating banana sandwiches for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Over the last 40 years, he has planted an estimated 50,000 trees on his 31hectare land, which now make up a small but unique area of rainforest, and a haven for wildlife. As the forest grew, the water returned, and Antonio says that there are now over 20 water, sources on his land that were no longer there when he bought it. Then the animals started making a home there. Today, the forest is alive with the sounds of birds and insects living there, and more species are settling in every year. There are toucans(巨嘴鳥), all kinds of birds, squirrels,
