There are four main types of speeches according to purpose: informative speeches aim to provide interesting information to audiences; demonstrative speeches explain how to do something using visual aids or handouts; persuasive speeches try to convince listeners of an argument's validity by changing opinions or considering new elements; entertaining speeches solely aim to make audiences smile, relax and enjoy through entertainment rather than education or inspiration.
