An informative speech is designed to provide the audience with new information or to educate them on a specific topic. The purpose of an informative speech is to present facts, statistics, and other evidence in a clear and objective manner. The goal is to increase the audience's understanding of the topic and to provide them with valuable information.

On the other hand, a persuasive speech is intended to convince the audience to take a specific action or to adopt a particular viewpoint. The purpose of a persuasive speech is to influence the audience's beliefs, attitudes, or behaviors. The speaker will use persuasive language, emotional appeals, and rhetorical devices to sway the audience to their point of view.

The purpose statements of each speech will differ in that an informative speech will focus on providing information and increasing understanding, while a persuasive speech will focus on convincing the audience to take a specific action or adopt a particular viewpoint. For example, the purpose statement of an informative speech might be "to inform the audience about the causes and effects of climate change," while the purpose statement of a persuasive speech on the same topic might be "to persuade the audience to take action to reduce their carbon footprint."
