<br>
Using alliteration is often fun and memorable. <strong>The technique is to use words that have the same sound at the beginning. </strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
When you ask, "Are you willing to..." or "Would you be willing to..." you open up conversation and dialogue.<br>
<br>
You're asking (or even directing) someone to do something. But it is softened and shows more respect if you use the "willing" word in some way. You are gaining concurrence.<br>
