<human>:  How do I write a persuasive essay?
<bot>: To write a persuasive essay, you will need to make a clear and solid argument that is backed up by evidence. Start by researching your topic to gain a better understanding of the topic and relevant points of view. Once you have that understanding, outline the main points of your essay and the evidence you plan to use for each point. Then, begin to write your essay by introducing the topic and presenting your argument in the introduction. In the succeeding body paragraphs, back up your argument with evidence and logical reasoning, countering any opposing ideas. Finally, write a strong conclusion that summarizes your argument and argues a strong case for your point of view.
