TYPES OF SPEECH

1. ¿WHAT IS A SPEECH?

   • A speech refers to an informal or formal talk given to an audience
     • Speeches can be categorized into four broad areas depending on the amount of preparation that is undertaken and depending upon the nature of the occasion.

2. INFORMATIVE SPEECH

   • Provide information. Informative speeches aim to educate an audience on a particular topic or message..
     • For example, a zoo guide gives an informative speech to a group of people or a lab report format

3. ENTERTAINING SPEECH

   • Communicate emotions rather than giving the audience facts and figures. Rather, they often include humor or funny stories.
     • The purpose of an entertaining speech is not to educate, inform or inspire; it's simply to make the speaker and the audience happy.

4. DEMOSTRATIVE SPEECH

   • Serve to educate an audience about a topic or idea they don't have knowledge of.
     • For example, a tech company can give a speech demonstrating their new devices. While they're informing the public about their new products, they're demonstrating how they work

5. PERSUSASIVE SPEECH

   • Help convince an audience that the speaker has the right opinion on a particular topic
     • Can cover any topic from entertainment to something more serious like politics.

6. ORATORICAL SPEECH

   • Is one that aims to inform or persuade an audience, in support of a particular viewpoint. The topic of an oratorical speech can be anything, so long as you are passionate about it. The art of oratory has been around for a long time and has its roots in ancient Greece.

7. DEBATE SPEECH

   • Is a formal discussion on a particular topic between two opposing sides. One side speaks in favor of the given topic, while the other one speaks against it.
     • For example, rather than trying to convince someone to join a particular side as with a persuasive speech, debate speeches aim to justify an opinion on a particular matter.

8. SPECIAL OCASSION SPEECH
