18、omeone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos. Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that she is trustworthy，honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience
19、or education she has in the field. After all，youre more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.

20、e them. 4Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with an audiences emotions.

25、audience. B. By telling the audience about her personal preference. C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive. D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic. 30. What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of
26、 persuasion. B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience. C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable. D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience. 31. An advertisement for washing powder which claims that “scientific tests show that our powder kills 95%
