Purpose:
Speeches are widely used at social, political and corporate events. Executives, politicians and other organizational leaders find speeches to be an integral aspect of their life. Speeches are an effective method of demonstrating leadership, influencing others and motivating a team.

Method:
In writing speeches, the rules of written English should be modified to facilitate spoken English. The theme and content should be composed to reflect the occasion, audience, purpose, time and style of the person delivering the speech. When writing a speech, short and focused sentences should be used and the number of ideas minimized or aligned to ensure effectiveness of delivery and audience appeal.
