Answer:
When wording the statement of your specific purpose, use verbs that refer to observable or measurable behavior.
Explanation:
A speech has a general purpose: to inform, to motivate, to entertain, or to persuade. But it also has a specific purpose, and it is important to write down a specific purpose statement before trying to write down the central idea of a speech. A specific purpose statement should be written using verbs that refer to observable or measurable behavior, and it should refer to what the speaker will accomplish with the speech. For example, when writing an informative speech, the specific purpose will use the verb inform -"I will inform my audience about the Amazon deforestation." Knowing that that is my specific purpose will help me develop the thesis statement. It will also help me assess how effective my speech was, if I really accomplished what I wanted.
