THE TYPES OF SPEECH ACCORDING TO PURPOSE

Informative Speech
This type of speech provides information history, theories, practical
applications, and etc. that can help the listeners understand something
that is unknown to them or already known but not yet clearly
understood.

It is also meant to help the listeners understand a topic in a more in-

depth manner by providing the following in an organized way:

• new data
• data that are not readily available to everyone
• data already know to the audience but looked at in a different way

TO INFORM
Instruct
In this speech, you will instruct the audience in how to do
something. Yes, it is a "how to" speech. Speech is a form
of informative speech where the speaker's primary purpose is to
teach the audience how to complete a task (or process), and this
is largely accomplished by demonstrating the task (or process)
through a series of steps.

TO INSTRUCT

Entertainment Speech
It is a speech intends to captivate an audience’s attention
and amuse them while delivering a message. The purpose is not
only to tell jokes. Neither is it the purpose of the speaker to
have the audience laughing throughout the speech.

TO ENTERTAIN
 Persuasive Speech
A persuasive speech is written to persuade, or convince the
listeners, of the validity of the speaker’s argument. This might
involve persuading someone to change their opinion or at the
very least take into account some elements that have not really
been considered before.
