Drones deserve a position in our future (to persuade) - Writing

For writing recently we have been writing persuasive text to persuade someone to agree with me, and mine is that drones deserve a position in our future. While writing this text I learnt that debates and persuasive text go together because in debates you argue about something and then you have to both go away and make up reasons to decide which one is better.

Here it is:


Drones Deserve A Place In Our Future

Do you think drones have a place in our future? 

Because I strongly believe that drones deserve a position in our future. They have a hawk's eye view of the sky, they could make traffic better, they could be used to clear car pollution and could be used for safety rescue teams.


Firstly, I believe drones could clear up traffic because they could be used to deliver deliveries like for example companies could make drone deliveries. I also believe this because someday drones might be able to hold people and this could mean that there will be less people using cars and less traffic for those who still do. I strongly believe that drones will make traffic better by taking care of deliveries and that will mean less courier vans, less cars and less traffic. In fact drones might even be used to make flying cars because they can fly and might be able to hold someone someday.

Secondly, drones could help police and rescue teams by helping police search around unreachable areas. Rescue teams could be helped by drones because they would help find lost people because they are smaller and able to fit in tighter spaces. In fact rescue teams could even use them instead of helicopters for a sky view of the target. Police could also use them to follow criminals or track people, this could lead to helping many lost or hurt people. Do you now think that drones could help rescue teams and police?


Finally, drones could reduce car pollution. As mentioned earlier drones could clear up traffic and less cars means less pollution from cars. Cars also give greenhouse gases which could make global warming even worse. Car pollution is also bad for the environment and people are testing electric cars but what if we used drones? Drones could even be the thing that could stop global warming. Also drones might even be used to make flying scooters or bikes.

In conclusion, drones could help a lot of people ranging from police to people who hate traffic, drones also could clear up car pollution as they could replace cars. Drones deserve a place in our future because they will help a lot of people. So do you now think drones have a place in our future?
