How do you know your audience? They are you!
Whatever books you write are usually the same sorts of books that you like to read, so write what you would like to see when you go to the library or book store. You know the sorts of people who read that kind of book, because you are one of them.
You can also go to conventions or book signings to meet the people who read the things you write. You can read author interviews or check out websites about your genre.
So you can properly define terms that the audience may not know.
a) Write for both your instructor and a general audience.
The intended audience of an author is what age group the author wrote the book for. Like the intended audience for a childrens book, would be children.
You read a document and than answer the following: A- Author (Who wrote this document? Where is he from) P- Place and Time (What time period that document was composed it and what era of people does it effect) P- Prior Knowledge (What do you know about that person and what do you already know about the history of the document) A- Audience (What is the possible audience? For whom did the author write it for?) R- Reason (Why did the author right this? Why do you think its important for him?) T- The Main Idea (What idea can you walk away with when you are done reading this document) S- Significance (Why are you reading this document? What do you think its important for people to read this now?)
Not necessarily. I believe the 'audience' of a written work is the person reading it. Thus, when people speak about writing for your audience it means to consider who you want to read your work. +++ Yes, you believe correctly - that is the accepted definition here.
Consider writing a speech about something that interests you. That way, you can convey your fascination about the topic to your audience. Think about your audience. If they are children, write about challenges they face or what they are sure to know about. If you are assigned a speech topic and think it is boring, find a way to make it a little interesting. If writing about the Civil War, you may write about their uniforms. See?

When reading stories, you should understand a few things:What is the story about (the plot)?Who is the story about (the characters)?Where and when is the story taking place (the setting)?Why did the author write the story?Who is the author writing to (the audience)?How is the author writing (the tone)?What is the author trying to say to you as a reader?
The intended audience varies depending on the book. Some authors write books for children, while other write for adults who are interested in technology.
Shakespeare didn't write most of his work down, and was transcribed by spectators of the audience who wrote down what was happening. But Shakespeare is the author of his works, but probably did join with other writers.
Ethos (credibility) assures your reader or audience that you know what you are talking about.
