ISCAG School 8
 English 10 MODULE 1: Lesson 2

Discussion: Learn About It!

A speech intends to educate the

reader/listener/audience on a particular topic with
varied purposes.

Three Types of Speech General Purposes

1. To inform – The first general-purpose that some people have for giving
speeches is to inform. Simply put, this is about helping audience
members characteristic of informative topics is that the goal is to gain
knowledge.
Example: Speech on a new technology

Speech on a new virus

Or to perform a new task or improve skills (e.g., how to

swing a golf club, how to ensemble a layer of cake)

2. To persuade- The second general-purpose people can have for

speaking is to persuade. When we speak to persuade, we attempt to get
the listeners to embrace a point of view or to adopt a behavior that they
would not have done otherwise. A persuasive speech can be
distinguished from an informative speech by the fact that it includes a
call for action for the audience to make some change in their behavior or
thinking.
3. To entertain- The final general purpose people can have for public
speaking is to entertain. Whereas informative and persuasive speech
making is focused on the end result of the speech process,
entertainment speaking is focused on the theme and occasion of the
speech. An entertaining speech can be either informative or persuasive
at its root, but the context or theme of the speech requires speakers to
think about the speech primarily in terms of audience enjoyment.

“WHAT’S YOUR LIFE’S BLUEPRINT?”

This is the most important and crucial period of your lives. For what you
do now and what you decide now at this age may well determine which
way your life shall go and the question is: whether you have a proper, a solid,
and a sound blueprint. And I want to suggest some of the things that should
be in your life’s blueprint.
Number one in your life’s blueprint should be: a deep belief in your own
dignity, your own worth and your own somebodiness. Don’t allow anybody to
make you feel that you are nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel
that you have worth, and always feel that your life has ultimate significance.
Secondly in your life’s blueprint, you must have as a basic principle, the
determination to achieve excellence in your various fields of endeavor.
You’re going to be deciding as the days and the years unfold, what you will
do in life, what your life’s work will be. Once you discover what it will be set
out to do it and to do it well.
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree
If you can’t be a highway, just be a trail
If you can’t be the sun, be a star
For isn’t by size that you win or you fail, be the best of whatever you are.
Finally in your life’s blueprint must be a commitment to the eternal principals
of beauty, love, and justice. Well, life for none of us has been a crystal stair.
But we must keep moving. We must keep going.
If you can’t fly, run.
If you can’t run, walk.
If you can’t walk, crawl, but by all means, keep moving!”
