SPEECH WRITING

Question 1:
The increasing amount of time spent playing indoor games has been a major cause
of decreasing the outdoor appearance of children. With this concern, write a speech
to be delivered in the morning assembly in 150-200 words. You are Parag/Pragati.
Answer:
Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and dear friends, I am Parag of Class
Xl-A. Today I want to share my views on the topic ‘Indoor games vs. Outdoor
games’. Modern gadgets like computers, gaming consoles, video games and mobile
phones have made us crazy as well as lazy. In our spare time, we can be either
seen surfing the internet or sending messages on mobile phones. We have forgotten
hide and seek, cricket and football, all of which make us physically active and alert.

Outdoor games strengthen our physique and help us to remain healthy. When we
play outdoor games we grow enthusiastic, we agree and disagree and fight. We
make more friends, which broadens our social circle. On the other hand, when we
play alone on computers, we are damaging our eyes, polluting our minds and turning
into couch potatoes which is not good for our health. Outdoor games inculcate
values like team work, coherency and zest for living in us. On the other hand, playing
indoor games only makes us isolated and self-centred. Considering all these, it can
be said that while outdoor games carry joys in their basket, indoor games do not in
any way. So, we should adopt outdoor games and come out to play them more
often.

Thank you

Answer:

EDUCATION GIVES POWER

Respected Principal, teachers and friends!

Education provides us knowledge. It trains our mind and sharpens our skills and
abilities. Education refines our tastes and temperaments and builds our thought
process. Vocational courses help young boys to earn and learn together. They
provide means of earning livelihood and open the route to employment. Professional
courses, as is evident from the name itself, equip us for adopting various
professions. Some of these highly skilled professionals seek placements or jobs in
esteemed companies and business concerns. Thus education is important for our
survival. Decent living is impossible
without good income or high salary. Education improves the quality of our life and
frees us of superstition, foolish, meaningless mind-blocks and rituals. If women are
educated the whole family benefits qs the food is hygienically prepared, children are
healthy, well-mannered and disciplined. Education gives us power over our
environment. We can control the situation and shape our destiny. Education spreads
awareness among people and gives them freedom from social ills. It makes people
independent by providing them means to learn their living. They become responsible
citizens and realise their rights and duties. In short, education gives one power.
Thank you.
