Answer: Speeches of description are speeches in which you describe an object (the human heart), person (a genius, artist, or inventor), event (a hurricane), or process (adopting a child). Speeches of definition are speeches in which you define a term (linguistics), a system or theory (evolution), or similar and dissimilar terms (nature/nurture, communism/socialism). Speeches of demonstration are speeches in which you show how to do something (protecting yourself against identity theft) or how something works (search spiders). Specific examples will vary.
