The marketing division of the Apartment has a reason for writing this advertisement. He wants to attract people to hire it. That is the purpose—to persuade someone.
Purpose is the reason a person write something.
The main reason people write are:
• to tell about something that happen
• To describe something
• To explain how or why something is done
• To persuade someone to think or act in a certain way
The marketing division hopes
that someone looking for an apartment will read the advertisement. People who need an apartment make up the marketing’s audience
An audience is the person or group of people who read a piece of writing
Example
Suppose you want to write about your car. Ask yourself,
“Why do I want to write about my car?”
You decide you want to describe it. That is your purpose-to describe your car.
