Question 1

Identify and describe the three goals of speaking to inform.

Accepted Answer

When you speak to inform,you are typically attempting to achieve three goals: 
• You speak to enhancing understanding.Understanding occurs when a listener accurately interprets the intended meaning of a message. 
• You speak to maintain interest.You may have carefully selected words,examples,and illustrations that your listeners would understand,but if you listeners become bored and do not focus on your message,you won't achieve your informative-speaking goal. 
• You speak to be remembered.One day after hearing a presentation,most listeners remember only about half of what they were told.Two days after the presentation,they recall only about 25 percent.Your job as an informative speaker is to improve on those statistics.
