3. WHAT ARE THE KINDS AND PURPOSES OF
SPEECH?
 FOUR MAIN TYPES OF SPEECH AND IT’S
PURPOSE
 Informative Speech (to inform)
 Persuasive Speech (to persuade or convince)
 Demonstrative Speech (to demonstrate)
 Entertaining Speech (to entertain)

4. I. INFORMATIVE SPEECHES (TO INFORM)
 This speech serves to provide interesting and
useful information to your audience.
 It is intended simply to inform your audience
on a certain topic.
 In Informative speeches, a speaker is
explaining something to the audience, and
help them to understand the topic.
 An informative speech is different from a how-
to speech or a persuasive speech because it is
only intended to provide information.

5. POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT INFORMATIVE
SPEECHES:
 You have to remember that the whole purpose
of your speech is to tell the audience
something that they do not know.
 The audience need time to take in what you’ve
just said.
 If you speak too quickly, your audience might
not follow you. Rather, they will be
understanding one sentence while you’re
speaking the next sentence.

6. EXAMPLES:
 A teacher telling students about earthquakes
 A student talking about her research
 A travelogue about the Tower of London
 A computer programmer speaking about new
software

7. II. PERSUASIVE SPEECH (TO PERSUADE /
CONVINCE
 A persuasive speech works to convince people
to change in some way: they think, the way
they do something, or to start doing
something that they are not currently doing.
 The persuasive speech is also related to the
informative speech, except that you are doing
more than simply providing information on
your topic—you are also providing your own
opinion on that topic and attempting to
persuade your audience that your opinion is
correct.
 And this element of opinion and persuasion is
what makes the persuasive speech the most
challenging of the four types.

8. POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT PERSUASIVE
SPEECHES:
 Make use of graphs and supporting
documentation.
 Present some facts and figures but make sure
that they’re accurate and that they support
your point of view.
 Try to make it personal (in a positive way) to
your listeners. If it’s going to affect their
family, home, or job, they will start to notice
become more convinced.

9. EXAMPLES:
 Become an organ donor
 Improve your health through better eating
 Television violence is negatively influencing
our children
 Become a volunteer and change the world

10. III. DEMONSTRATIVE SPEECH (TO
DEMONSTRATE)
 This has many similarities with an informative
speech. A demonstrative speech also teaches you
something. The main difference lies in including a
demonstration of how to do the thing you’re
teaching.
 To develop skills in expository speaking with
emphasis on skill in exhibiting a process using
objects or physical activity.
 A demonstration speech explains how to do
something or how something works. Objects or
physical activity by the demonstrator must be
exhibited. Visual aides (charts, graphs, maps,
pictures, etc.) are optional and may be used to
enhance the demonstration but are not to take the
place of objects or activity. The speech must be
instructive and present valuable and significant
information.

11. POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT
DEMONSTRATIVE SPEECHES:
 The speech must be original by the participant.
 Objects or physical activity by the demonstrator
must be exhibited.
 One other person, and only one, may be used to
assist the demonstrator by serving as the object of
demonstration or by helping to set up, strike, or
handle equipment.
 It is permissible for the aide to be both an object
of demonstration and to help with equipment.

13. IV. ENTERTAINING SPEECH (TO ENTERTAIN)

entertaining speech. The speaker provides pleasure
and enjoyment that make the audience laugh or
identify with anecdotal information.

14. POINTS TO REMEMBER ABOUT ENTERTAINING
SPEECHES:
 The speech still must make a valid point or
argument, but it can be done through humor.

informative or persuasive in nature, but the
supporting materials are selected primarily
based on entertainment value.
