Speech Title: Bottled Water-Pure Drink or Pure Hype?
Adaptation Plan
Audience Attitude:
I interviewed ten people in my class, including 5 males and 5 females to understand their shopping habit in bottled water. Over half of them considered that bottled water was expensive, but they would still purchase plastic bottle water. Most of them revealed that they had no ideas about the waste of plastic bottle, and they'd never thought of the problem that bottled water required large expenditure economically and environmentally.
Reasons:
According to the sources, I find that three reasons that we should reduce the number of purchasing bottled water are that the cost of manufacturing, delivering, and recycling bottled water is extremely high, that bottled water contains part of tap water, and that bottled water is not indeed safe, pure, and healthy as its commercial says.
Selecting an Organization to Meet Audience Needs:
Most of my audience takes purchasing bottled water for granted, and the audience is not aware of the harming that caused by bottled water. So I will use a logical reason approach to convince my audience that they should reduce purchasing bottled water.
