There may be multiple audiences. Be very specific. Instead of “All People” try – “Adults with small children who have food allergies”. What values does the audience hold; how much do they know; what is their attitude toward the subject?

  4. Parts Continues Subject: this is the topic, content, and ideas: the main idea(s). Must not be confused with the purpose. Again, be specific. Purpose: the goal the speaker wants to achieve.
