Taking ideas from the unit 'Attitude' along with your own, prepare a speech to be delivered in the morning assembly on the topic,'Optimism is the key to peaceful living'.

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends.

I stand before you to speak on optimism is the key to peaceful living.

Everybody wants to live a peaceful life. But Failures, expectations, comparisons, lack of confidence, pessimism are the factors considered as obstacle or hurdles in the path of success. No one can escape from these factors. The only solution is that one should have an optimistic outlook towards life.

Optimism is the quality that everyone must inculcates in themselves. Every one must take a step to inherent optimism. This helps them to make the world better in which they in. One should remember Helen's words, "I am only one, but still I am one - I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do."

In order to live happy and peaceful life, we should have an optimistic attitude /perspective towards life. It is the key to peaceful living. Optimism and peace are interrelated to each other. Every body wants to earn more, students want to score more. They will get this only with optimistic attitude. We should interact more with positive persons and keep an arm's distance with negative or demotivated people. Otherwise our whole endeavour will be in vain.

Thank you.

IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOL TRIPS AND VISITS

By: 

 School trips and visits play an important role in children life. Being in hectic schedule, students have no time for their holistic development.  So, school must organise trips for students and encourage them to be the part of the team.

The benefits for students of being taken out of the classroom are manifold. (School trips and visits are significant to us in many ways.) It brings a cheerful smile on their faces. They get quality time to spend with classmates (class fellows). They discuss on various issues among themselves such as news, sports & games, TV programmes, academics etc. It provides practicality to their classroom teaching.  Going out on tours and trips, students inculcate various qualities in themselves such as team work, cooperation, adapting in changing environment, problem solving skills etc.  Some of the places of trips and tours are educational, which are useful for career in future. For instance,  science City teaches them about the evolution of human being and about their universe and how it started.

Trips make the students to know about the various historical events and influential persons associated with the site. These provide practical exposure related to the theory books. To exemplify, a school visit to a museum depicts the great knowledge about the Indian freedom fighters who fight against the British and sacrifices their lives for humanities. Moreover, visit to historical places such as exploring Taj Mahal, golden temple, qutub minar and many more places allow them to know about the past.

School trips and visits have become an indispensable element in school's curriculum. Besides bookish knowledge, these helps in understanding the varied culture of different states and religion. Also now schools have initiated organising trips to abroad such as NASA, USA , which helps the students to understand the world in better way. For instance, trip to NASA motivates them pursue course in science and space research. Moreover, Trips make students full of fun and frolic. Visit to water parks and fun valley are the trips that students enjoy the most. Water slides and Water disco are the attraction of many students.

Overall, it is worthy enough to point out that  trips and visits  help the students to increase knowledge, broadens minds and perspectives  enabling them to understand this world in an interesting way. 

Joys and hardships of summer season

 Q. Using verbal hints given below about 'SUMMER SEASON'. Write an article in 120-150 words on the topic, "JOYS AND HARDSHIPS OF SUMMER". [Class IX study material 2019-20]

Heat strocks— cold drinks and shakes— Heavy perspiration— Ice cream— Vacations— Water parks— Need of A.C. and coolers— Heat & Humidity. 

JOYS AND HARDSHIPS OF SUMMER SEASON
— By: Mohan

Change is the law of nature. Passing through a particular weather pattern in India, summer season is the hottest of all seasons. The summer starts from the may and continues till September. However, it is mainly of two months duration. Like every season, summer season has its own joys and hardships.  

School children eagerly wait for the summers due to their Vacations of long span. For them, it is a time of enjoyment and fun with friends and families. People plan their trips to water spots such as beaches, water parks, falls, etc which is the main source of entertainment during summer season that makes them relax and they get a break from their monotonous life. During summers, weekends are like fresh breeze for us. 

During summers, coolers and A.C. become a necessity for the people, which makes their environment cool and people love to enjoy such an artificial climate. They love to have cold etables and drinks such as ice creams, cold drinks, shakes etc. which makes them fresh, relax and feel heatless for a moment. Everyone enjoy such a pleasant moments during summers. 

But every coin has two sides. During summers, the sun rays fall directly on the earth's surface, which makes the entire earth boiling. The sun gets very hot during the day and such heat strokes or scorching heat becomes very troublesome for us. People cannot come out of their homes and children cannot enjoy outside. They have to be in a cage. Childrens use electronic gadgets at home to freshen up, which has an adverse effect on them. Most of work remain suspended. Moreover, they do not feel energetic and a sort of dullness comes (appears) on them. In other words, summer causes many inconvenience as the hot winds cause much thirst and people cannot get water and as a result it causes drought in few parts of a country. Rivers and ponds dry up causing scarcity of water. Similarly, flora and fauna suffers too. Many die as a result of such sun stroke. People also get affected by many fatal diseases such as cholera, small pox etc. in the summer season. Such sort of problems can also be arises due to unbalanced ecosystem, use of heavy vehicles etc. as these create humidity and affects our cycle causing this season so hot. 

So, we should come forward to protect our environment which in returns protects global warming and ourselves.

Helmets should be made compulsory for the riders of scooters and motorcycles

 Q. Write a speech on the topic, Helmets should be compulsory for riders of scooters and motorcycles. 

prevents injury - heavy traffic - uncomfortable - not cool - compulsory abroad, India - not compulsory - adopt it ourselves - to keep us safe -safety more important than being fashionable - light helmets for cycles needed. 

Respected Principal, Worthy Teachers and My Dear Friends. Today I am here to speak on the topic helmets should be made compulsory for riders of scooters and motorcycles.

Roads have become unsafe in recent times. With the burgeoning population, (Thousands of new vehicles hit the road every day) the  number of two wheelers such as scooters, motorcycles, activa are increasing on the roads with each passing day. As a result casualties with scooters and motorcycles are on the rise. In order to protect ourselves from these casualties, it is imperative for the traffic department (govt.) to make helmets compulsory for the riders of two wheelers. It is the primary way to prevent injuries of head and brain.

Besides preventing injuries, It is the part of rules of road. It ensures better control of the vehicle too. Wearing helmets makes the people caring and responsible towards themselves and the others.  People can protect themselves from the Challan or fines decided by the government for those who don't wear it. It is a sign that one is protecting himself from every unpredictable risk on the road. What's more, it is considered as an effective tool to save ourselves from loo, rains, cold and changing climate in the country.

Neglectful attitude of traffic police, bribery, over speeding are some of the factors responsible for the sorry state of affairs. Helmets should be made compulsory for everyone irrespective of age or gender.  Using the helmet makes a man displined and respectful towards the rules of the road. Even light helmets for cycles are needed.

Wearing a helmet is compulsory in abroad. It should be made compulsory for everyone in India also. As it is the question of our safety and the safety of all those who are using the road. We should adopt it ourselves cheerfully. It is the need of the hour is that the traffic police department (government) should take some stringent steps against the culprits. Laws should be amended and conveyed to the public. Awareness should be spread regarding the importance of wearing helmets. After all safety is more important than being fashionable.

Thank you.

Are tuitions essential for success in schools ?

 Q. Tuitions have become a craze these days. Students, even small children are seen going to tutor; even for homework. You are to deliver a speech in the morning assembly of your school on the topic "Are tuitions essential for success in school?" Write the speech in about 120 words.   [Class VII BBC COMPACTA]

Respected principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. A very good morning to all of you. Today I am here to express my views on "Are tuitions essential for success in school". 

Well, studying from another sources rather than schools like tuitions and various other educational institutions deliver many positive points for the success in school. Mainly it is because of hectic lifestyle, both parents are working and they can't divote their time or help their children in studies and tutions is the only solution. (The benefits conferred by tuitions are so numerous and wonderful that they are felt in every stage or at every step of education.)

In today's competitive environment, Tutions play an indispensable role in achieving the success in school. (In today's competitive environment, tuitions have assumed to be a necessity to achieve success in schools because it has become a major part of examinations preparation.) Tuitions are essential to cope with today's competitive environment. (with cut- throat (very tough, strong) competition prevails among students.) With the passage of time, education system goes under a vast change. Many new concepts have been discovered and new subjects have been added in the school's curriculum which is far from the parent's reach and understanding. Moreover, school teachers are not very well versed with the new concepts and subjects. So, they cannot teach well in class. 

Besides, Students consider their school teachers as inefficient. Some students are inattentive in the class or sometimes they have to take leave (they are absent from school due to any reason.) from the school, the topics they missed are covered in tuitions. In schools, emphasis should be given on concept clarity. There is no time left for practice and clear the doubts of the students. So, students take or attend tuitions for practise and clear their doubts.  

Contrary to this, it is not necessary that tuition ensures success in schools rather it creates unnecessary burden among school going children resulting in various psychological problems such as tension, depression and anxiety. Just because your favourite teacher gives tuition doesn't mean you always need to attend it. Furthermore, tuitions are an unnecessary expenditure for most of the parents. They are of the opinion that their students do not need any extra tuitions for the same concepts and assignments when teacher in school cover each and every topic in a clear and precise manner/way. Besides, there is no time left with the students for their recreational activities. 

Indeed, tuitions are very helpful in assuring success in schools. It is continuously growing in every nook and corner of the city. Hence, we can say that tuition is a new dimension in the field of education which is very useful to students in order to achieve success in schools. 

Thank you.

Importance of internet speech

Q. Taking ideas from the hints given below, write a speech in about 120 words for your school assembly on the topic: "Importance of Internet in Daily Life"

• useful for locating information
• like a library - read through internet
• information on everything
• helps keep in touch with distant friends or relatives
• should be used under parent's supervision [Class VII BBC COMPACTA]

"We are all now connected by the internet, like neurons in a giant brain." 

Good morning everyone. Today I am here to share my views on the importance of internet in daily life.

We live in a time and age where information is just a button press away. Internet contains the information on everything which helps people to get information on everything required by them. Internet is now the biggest game changer of 21st century. It is a whole universe in its own.

With the advancement of science and technology, Internet now has accessible to almost each and every human being of the world. Life without it is now unimaginable. Predominantly, Internet is now the biggest source of communication among people of the nation. It has facilitated communication even from abroad. Facebook, watsapp Instagram, and other social media help us to keep in touch with distant friends and relatives over the internet. 

Internet is now being use by the people of different ages for various purposes. For majority of people, it has become the major source of entertainment. They watch movies, TV shows, listen music, play games, watch news etc. For students, Internet has become a very useful tool for learning their academic portion. It is like a library for them which allows the students to read and learn through internet. It is beneficial in locating information on everything for everyone. Businessmen uses it for their business dealings. They conduct online meetings over the internet using video conferencing.

Moreover, the other main sphere where internet has helped us greatly is the payments of various bills whether it a electricity bill, water bill or shopping bill. Paytm, UPI, Google pay have made our transactions easy and allow us to manage banking transactions (avail banking services) without visiting the bank branch.

As such it can be concluded that in the era and age of technology and globalisation, internet has become an indispensable part of our lives. However, it should be used under parent's supervision. Thus, we should use the internet carefully and judiciously. It is very helpful but may prove to be equally harmful. 

Thank you. 

With the internet, we have a vast sea of information at our fingertips.

 Q. Technology has made the lite of man easier and more comfortable but is also the main cause of physical and moral degradation. Taking ideas from My English Reader Unit- 'The Future World' and using the hints given below, write a speech to be delivered in your school assembly on the topie "Impact of Technology on Social Life" within 100-150 words.

Resected Principal, worthy teachers and my dear friends. 

Good morning !

No doubt, science and technology are progressing by leaps and bounds. Technology plays a very dominant role in the society. It is spreading its tentacles in every field. There is a drastic change in each & every field due to rapid advancement in technology. Technology has impacted our social life to a great extent with both positive and negative consequences.

 It has made a remarkable progress in the field of communication. Social media sites such as Factbook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc has facilitated the communication to the distant places even overseas over the Internet. It has made easier for people to connect and communicate with each other irrespective of geographical area. However, personal relations among them has decreased. More and more new or old friends are being connected with us, having false relationship. It has totally revolutionized human existence.

 It is not just in communication that technology has impacted us. With the invention of mobile phones, children are becoming more prone to or addicted to it. Video games are the main attraction for the children, that has an adverse effect on their health and academics. As a result of it, there is a significant decline in their physical activities. They are turning aggressive by nature. What's more, technology has proved its development in the field of medicines. It has invented the drugs of various diseases or illnesses which was incurable earlier. However, due to excessive use of technology people are becoming couch potatoes and obesity is the main cause of concern in the society. When all the time is Spent sitting, then obviously there is lack of physical and mental growth due to no physical activity along with various other diseases. Also, Moral Values are vanishing from the society day by day. 

Thus, technology has both positive and negative impact on our lives. We need to chennalise our focus on positive effects and need to constantly coping with negative effects generating by it. 

Thank you.

CLEANLINESS AT HOME OR IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

- by: Lalit

It is a matter of concern that our neighborhoods are full of dirt and garbage (rubbish) that it stinks the whole environment of the locality. Wrappers, paper, polythene bags, household waste are scattered on the roads and along our houses. The city also is be becoming dirty with each passing day. It has become a hazard. 

'Cleanliness is next to godliness'. Cleanliness to put it simply, means the state of being clean or keeping things clean. Cleanliness at home or in the neighborhood is very important for our overall well being. Keeping homes and neighbourhood clean stops the spread of germs, which keeps us healthy. Regular cleaning of carpets, kitchen and bathroom will kill germs thereby reducing the possibilities of getting sick. This also prevents us from being exposed to bacteria and allergies and other breathing problems. It minimizes the entry of rats, cockroaches, ants and other insects in our surrondings. It is considered as an essential quality required to live a healthy life. It improves the quality of indoor air at our surroundings. 

Moreover, cleanliness changes the look of our surroundings. A neat and clean (spic and span) home or a neighborhood is attractive to all. Regular cleaning of home is very helpful in keeping us organised. Cleanliness creates the goodwill of the residents residing at home or in the neighborhood. It gives happiness and spreads joy in the family and in the neighborhood. 

We need to ensure cleanliness at homes and in the neighborhood. We should follow the 3Rs of the waste management i.e reduce, reuse and recycle. People should be made aware of the harmful effects of garbage. They should be teach environmental friendly methods of disposing waste. These steps will certainly help in maintaining cleanliness in vicinity (near area). It is the duty of each and every one to keep his home and neighborhood neat and clean.

IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN SURROUNDINGS BY: RAJ

Or 

Need of Promoting Cleanliness in the surrounding areas

Now a days, Keeping the surroundings clean has become a big issue. We keep our homes neat and clean then why not public places. We only remember to clean our homes but why we don't remember to clean our country, which is our main home. People makes the public places dirty in many ways which includes not using dustbins, spitting anywhere on roads, throwing papers, plastic, wrappers on roads. (We keep our homes spick and span but don't care for cleanliness at public places.)

The growing garbage and filth have
vitiated, (spoil, harmed, degraded) the atmosphere. It has become the major source of pollution such as air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution. Burning of wastes releases harmful gases such as carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide which affects our environment. Waste emerges from the factories are dumped into the rivers affects the marine life and thereby affects humans. Household waste such as waste from kitchen is the greatest source of soil pollution which affects many soil organisms too. Moreover, It spreads malaria, dengue, cholera, diarrhea and various respiratory disorders. It also becomes hazard for animals.

In order to protect ourselves from various ailments and viruses, It is imperative to keep the surroundings spic and span. This gives rise to a good character. Clean surroundings have become an indication of one's lifestyle and prevents illness and sickness. It is considered as the best place for overall growth and development. It helps us to stay active all the day and enhances our productivity. It creates a good impression on others. Environment of the area becomes fresh and amount of pollution gets reduce. 

It is the need of the hour to clean our surroundings not only our homes but also the places use by us. Various (Several) measures should be taken to promote cleanliness in public places. Responsible waste management techniques should be adopted. Campaigns should be organised to make the surroundings hygienic. All these measures will keep us healthy. So, I appeal one and all to keep the surroundings clean and hygienic.

Clean India, healthy India.

 Q. Our streets are littered with paper bags, empty cans, fruit peelings and so many other used throwaways. Not only do our cities look unclean but lack of cleanliness can even lead to an outbreak of an epidemic. Write a speech in 100-150 words on ‘Clean India, Healthy India’, which you have to deliver in the morning assembly. 

Respected principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. 

It is a matter of concern that despite an initiative of cleanliness taken by our prime minister, our streets are still littered with (filth and garbage, our public toilets stink, we use public walls as urinals and spittoons. Then we blame the government for mosquitoes, stench and epidemics.) full of garbage such as paper bags, empty cans, household wastes, poly bags etc without bothering to people. Today people are generating tons of waste everyday which is making the country dirty.

Is clean India really a healthy India ? Is there any relation between cleanliness and health ? Cleanliness is an indictior of sound health of natives of a country and so with India. Cleanliness in itself mean the absence of waste, dirt and germs. This makes India healthy. Cleanliness is considered as the first step towards healthy lifestyle. There are no illnesses in the state of cleanliness. People are less likely to get sick. They can keep various diseases such as malaria, dengue, chickengunya, asthma etc. at bay.  

What's more, clean India produces no pollution, which gives fresh air to inhale to its citizens. They also get water fit for drinking. Cleanliness helps in the overall well being of individual, society and country. It spreads optimism attitude among people. It helps to relieves their stress, tensions and anxiety.  Cleanliness gives a pleasent look to India, which attracts foreign tourists to India, which inturn generates revenue for the Government. 

It is the need of the hour that people should take some effective steps to make its environment clean. They should follow the 3R's i.e. reduce, reuse and recycle strategy of waste management. Besides this, afforestation should be encouraged among people to make India clean and healthy. 

So Let's make the India clean, Let's make the India healthy.

Thank you.

Stop Animal Abuse.

 Q. Cruelty towards animals is often heard and read about in the newspapers. It is unfair to be inhuman towards animals as they are helpless, poor creatures who can't even speak out their agony. Using the hints given below, prepare a speech to be delivered in the morning assembly on the topic- 'Stop Animal Abuse'. (120-150 words)

• Cats, dogs, horses, livestock animals are abused 
• sensitivity towards animals required
• Take the needy animals to a vet/ inform concerned authorities 
• Be kind towards animals 
• Respect them 
• Adopt stray animals
• spread awareness 

Honorable Principal, Respected teachers and dear friends. 

Animal abuse is a negative development that people are getting cruel to the animals. Millions of animals are being abused every day. People have become inhuman and forget that they are also the living creatures. They are continuously beaten, harrassed, multilated, dissected by people. For instance children irritated them by throwing stones on them. They are used in laboratories by children for the purpose of dissection to gain practical knowledge. Hundreds of frogs and lizards are experimented on regular basis.

What's more, People treat animals as a source of entertainment. They play various tricks on them for their fun. They domesticate or caged cats, dogs, parrots, cows, horses etc. for their own pleasure and abuse them. They are used in circuses and zoos and put into cages and are under-fed. They are forced to perform tricks which they cannot normally do. Then bulls, horses, camels, mules and donkeys are over-loaded. They play a vital role in our eco system and biodiversity as due to abusing some species are getting extinct. All these are creating imbalance in the environment. The whole food chain also get collapsed. 

Getting cruel to animals is a negative development, people don't have any right to abuse animals. It should be made a punishable offence. Well-awakened persons, especially children or animal lovers, SPCA (Society for the Protection of cruelty to animals) should join hands to create worldwide awareness for animal abuse. It is our duty to respect animals. We must look after every animal like our own child and nourish it like him. NGOs should come forward to adopt stray animals. Let's take pledge not to abuse animals in order to maintain balance in the environment. 

Thank you.

Increasing chatting on social media

 Q. You are Raman/Deepika , a student of a School in Patna. You feel ‘Excess of Anything is Bad’. Chatting on Internet , using social sites such as Facebook, what’s app, we chat, Yahoo etc., lead to neglect of studies and wastage of time on the part of students. Prepare a speech to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school highlighting this increasing tendency among students and advising them to impose self-restrictions on themselves. 

Increasingly Chatting on social sites

Respected principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. 

I am sure you all communicate with chatting using social networking sites such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc. In recent years, it has become very popular among students. These sites have gripped the minds of (students) school going children.

They should remember that chatting on social networking sites lead to many health problems. Predominantly, they can lose their eyesight. Spending a couple of hours on chatting can further makes the children obesed, lazy and disease prone. social networking sites discourage physical activities among students and make them couch potato. The recent studies have revealed that excessive chatting on internet leads to behavioural problems among children such as they get irritated, short-tempered, unsocialize and become less interactive among friends and relatives. What's more, face to face communication with their contacts has also decreased gradually. You become mere a tool for social networking sites. Sometimes the messages sent or received on theses sites convey misleading information and feelings or emotions of both parties are ignored. The social networking sites distracts the students from doing homework, project work affecting their grades in examination. Thus, their studies are affected negatively. It is totally a waste of time of the students. If the adverse effects of social networking sites outweigh its postive effect. So, why don't we all limit the use of these sites ? 

Hence, excess of everything is bad. So, it is advisable to students that they should impose self restrictions on themselves. They should spend their time in outdoor activities, which keep them fit and healthy. They should devote more time to studies which leads to improve their grades and utilise their time to the fullest. 

Thank you.
