Purpose of Speech: Urban Parks Discussion
Professor: Good afternoon, class. Today, I want to talk about the role of urban parks in enhancing community well-being. As many of you know, urban parks provide not only recreational spaces but also promote environmental sustainability. They act as green lungs for cities and represent a space for social interaction. During our discussion, I hope to hear your thoughts on how parks can contribute to social cohesion and mental health. I strongly encourage you to consider both the physical and psychological benefits of spending time in these green spaces.
