Working on Audience

The past few weeks I have read and discussed my point if view on different types of genre and audiences. After reviewing the technical and professional writing textbook that was the current reading for this week. It was interesting to see some of the different sections that were in the book. I learned to take your time when you are writing something. Also to take in account of what the writing process means to you. Some of the most important parts of writing and everyday life goes off of audiences, genres, and what the purpose is for said writing.

For our question this week we were asked how genres, audiences, and purposes are all put together in a single form of a conversation. In my opinion to combine all three of those together you need to know what kind of setting that you in. So, a lot of factors come into play when are combining all three of those. You must know who your audience is and what your relationship with them is in order to base a genre on what you are talking about. You must also know what kind of purpose that you have and the purpose of what your audience has to be able to speak with them clearly and also to connect with audience and make sure that they listen to what you are saying.
