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?

Some days later the girl39。s breath quickened, and her father phoned the family39。s hospice nurse. Please e, he said. The nurse knew the visit would require more than four hours of her time: a twohour drive in each direction, plus her time with the girl. Why don39。t we connect over FaceTime, she asked. The father agreed, and they connected. The nurse asked the father to move his daughter gently to her side, then to her back, to lift the child39。s shirt. The nurse would ask: What do you see, what concerns you, and the father would explain. In this fashion the pair examined the girl the nurse on her puter, the father his iPad. Together they decided that the nurse39。s presence was not necessary, that the child had more time. Later, the father reported feeling forted by the nurse. He appreciated her availability, the fact that she could see what he saw, and their ability to discuss it in real time. Telemedicine has bee a trend in America. Some hospitals have gone so far as to specially design telemedicine clinics. The room is staged like an office but with better lighting.

A physician taking a video call from home might wear a pair of headphones, equipped with a mic to ensure whatever the patient says isn39。t broadcast to anyone offcamera. However, there is something more than the technology bit. According to David, the head of the telemedicine pilot the girl39。s family had been part of, there are some people who are great in person and you put them on camera the
