Foreign languages are extremely important to students' education. After taking my first Spanish course, I saw a significant increase in my English grade. As a student in Spanish, I learned how to form verbs and verb phrases in that language. Learning about verbs and verb phrases in a different language gave me a different perspective about the same parts of speech in English. This new knowledge made English class much easier, and I received good grades in both classes last year. Learning foreign languages helps students in many different subjects.

The correct answer is: B) Yes, because they explain specifically how the clases helped him.

Remember that in a persuasive speech the author, in this case Ian, is trying to persuade an audience to accept an idea, attitude, or action. To do so, argumentation, rationalism, symbolism, and the usage of supportive information is needed. In this case Ian uses his own experience to support the idea that learning foreign languages is very important to the student's education. By telling this, the audience can infer that if it was helpful for him, it can also be for other students. He appeals to logos, clearing out how and why the foreign languages are essential.
