?At the end of my speech the audience will know more about television.? Explain what is
wrong with this specific purpose, and the steps one should take to write a more appropriate
purpose, and rewrite the specific purpose correctly.
What will be an ideal response?
The topic has not been narrowed down. The speaker should make a list of subtopics on
the general topic of television, then, based upon his/her own interests and the interest
and knowledge of the audience, narrow down to a sub-topic. For example, a more
appropriate topic might be ?The impact of the Internet on television,? or ?The
representation of Latinos on television.? Then, the specific purpose might be written: ?At
the end of my speech the audience will be able to list three new programs that feature
Latino actors.?
