A writer, on the other hand, composes a reading with a certain sort of reader in mind. When the writer understands who the audience is, he or she may talk directly to that audience by using precise language, facts, and examples. You can ascertain the audience by determining the location of the reading. If it's in a library, the readers are likely educated. They may even be students yourself! If it's at a bookstore, then the audience is made up of everyone else: parents, friends, coworkers. They're also likely interested in what you have to say because it's your book. The writer may also talk directly to the audience through questions. For example, if there are no students around, the writer could ask someone from the audience to help him or her out by serving as an imaginary student for a reading. The writer would then describe what kind of person would be good at reading fiction, for example, and perhaps even tell some of his or her own stories to show how reading works. Finally, the writer might just talk about himself or herself. For example, if the writer has nothing interesting to say about reading or writing, he or she could just ramble on about personal matters such as politics or music. All in all, writers compose readings that suit the audience's needs. These can be as simple or complex as you want them to be.
