A speech is a wonderful opportunity to inform, persuade or entertain. The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components（组成部分）. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you，your speech and your audience focused.
What a goal is
In the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy(颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question（正被讨论的）.
Why a goal is important
Without a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech's goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.
A goal is incredibly important to the speech's ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.
Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech's goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won't know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.
______________
If you have been charged with(被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic(人口统计) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through（一直坐到……结束）. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有争议的）, it may worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.

It’s become acceptable for people to say that women work less than men and therefore deserve less! It may have been true in the past when women were expected to stay at home and look after children, but_______________________. They have “come out”! Gone are the days when they worked very hard at the kitchen stove all day long; they are now aware of their needs and are willing to fight for them. They expect to be given the respect they deserve, both at home and at work. They have realized their intellectual potential and have determined to do something with it!

     Women on two wheels have become a familiar sight on the roads of most Asian countries during the past few years. It is common to find a woman who takes her children on her bicycle to school and then reaches her office in time. It would have been unimaginable a few years ago! She has become a major part of family decisions in every aspect and how those decisions are carried out.

      “Super woman” though she is, it is rather difficult to combine a career and a decent （相当好的） home life. She needs to feel supported and satisfied. She may arrive at work feeling as if she has already done a full day’s work. If colleagues doubt her commitment to her job, she would feel sad. At the same time, the women of today expect their husbands to contribute towards childcare and household chores.

      Today’s women are trying to avoid situations that make them feel more stressed and it is a hard struggle. Despite all this, the new woman, “the Superpower” has arrived. She still believes in the power and value of a family unit and she holds it in high esteem（尊重）.
