1 address the audience by asking a question e.g. Let me finish by asking you this: are you the problem or are
you the solution?
2 use a quotation e.g. He believes in Confucius' words
"Choose a job you love and you will never have to work
a day in your life."
3 ask a rhetorical question e.g. After all, this isn't the
end, but the beginning of the rest of our lives, right?
4 make a statement e.g. Our social etiquette rules help
us make friendships and keep us from embarrassing
ourselves in public.
5 narrate a personal or general story e.g. I'll never
forget the first time I visited this festival with my
parents. The parades, the contest and the music were
all amazing! It's a memory I'll have forever!
6 stimulate emotions e.g. Just imagine how you would
feel if you saw these animals in their natural habitat.
7 use humour (a joke, a riddle etc) e.g. What goes up
but never comes down? Your age. And having the perfect
birthday party is the best way to celebrate just that.
8 ask a "what if" question e.g. What if you could make
money doing what you love?
9 use a rhyme or a short poem e.g.
So if you travel to the UK, remember this rhyme:
As long as you're polite,
It's sure to be alright!​

Сочинение на тему "Настольный теннис - мой любимый вид спорта" предлагаю составить так:

    Я люблю заниматься спортом, ведь он дарит моему телу силу и выносливость. Моим любимым спортом является настольный теннис. Эта игра очень подвижная. Для нее требуется специальный стол, сетка, ракетки и мячик. Каждый вечер мы с ребятами выходим поиграть в настольный теннис.

    Это захватывающая игра, в который важными являются реакция, знание техники подачи и хитростных уловок. В этой игре развиваются не только мышцы рук, как может показаться изначально. В настольном теннисе работает все тело. Человек постоянно наклоняется за мячиком, активно бегает, чтобы успеть отбить его. Настольный теннис - увлекательная и интересная игра. 

P.S сори если нужен перевод я не знаю перевода только так
