Understanding Purpose of Speech in a Counseling Session
Listen to the conversation between a student and a career counselor:
Student: Hi, I’m looking for guidance about my internship options. I want to gain some experience in my field, but I’m not sure where to start.
Counselor: Of course! It’s great that you’re considering internships. They are a valuable way to learn and network. Let’s talk about your interests and potential industries you could explore.
Student: I’m really interested in graphic design, but I am also considering marketing. Both seem appealing to me.
Counselor: That’s a good mix. Graphic design can certainly fit into marketing roles, so let’s look for internships that combine both areas. I can help you find some resources.
