Abstract

Using illustrative examples makes a piece of writing convincing, forceful and attractive. However, citing examples is a challenging technique for many students preparing to take standardized tests. The paper considers exemplification strategies in persuasive writing and touches upon some difficulties faced by the Armenian students as well as common exemplification errors. Extracts from students’ and model essays have been used to illustrate the proposed strategies.
