Enthymeme practice

*WATCO using the crockpot for dinner ON my husband's opinion of my cooking.
*Audience: wives. particularly wives who are busy, possibly with kids, a job, church callings, any other reason.
*Cooking dinner in the crockpot ________ my husband's opinion of my cooking.
: (improves)
because: a tasty hot meal appears like I've spent all day making it.



WATCO using a laptop ON my ability to report news.
Audience: reporters who have usually used note-taking and voice recording as a means of gaining quotes and other information.
*Using a laptop will GREATLY IMPROVE my ability to report
BECAUSE I appear professional and my sources and peers will respect me more.
(or: I am able to copy and paste quotes and information, therefore saving time.)


WATCO ironing my husband's clothes ON our income?
Audience: wives, wives whose husbands don't particularly care about their appearance, possibly husbands pressing their own clothes.
Ironing my husband's clothes will GREATLY INCREASE our income
BECAUSE: He will appear more professional to his boss who will promote him to a higher income.
