To answer your question:
* General purpose of a speech: This refers to the overall goal you hope to achieve with your speech. Common general purposes include:
* To inform: You aim to teach the audience about a topic.
* To persuade: You want to convince the audience to agree with your point of view or take action.
* To entertain: You aim to amuse and engage the audience.
* Broad objective speech: This is less common terminology and could be interpreted in a few ways. It might refer to a speech that aims to achieve a broad goal, like raising awareness about an issue, rather than a specific call to action.
