Posting #3 10/12 - 10/18

Good Afternoon,

An interesting point I read in chapter 13 was about keeping your opinions out of an informative speech. It is really easy to start throwing in our own personal opinions and expressing our own thoughts, but by doing so we get start to get away from the main purpose of our speech; that is to inform our audience about our topic. After thinking about what this could mean, I can to the conclusion when doing informative speeches; we may want to pick a topic that really does not call for our opinion. As long as we stay with just the facts of what our topic is, we should be able to avoid putting our two cents in. We will be able to speak our side of the argument when we do our persuasion speech.

See you all next week.

Hi I totally agree with your blog because that is true we tend to add in our opinions and it takes away that true meaning and purpose of our speech and we forget what we were there to be doing which is informing our audience. Although if we give our opinions it still helps the audience but it might confuse them at the same time so we have to be very careful in how we add in opinions to not adding any in, in the start. It all just goes in how well you can incorporate it all in together. You never know though if it can help you or not because in some cases unprepared researched topic need you voice your opinion.
