Hints:

• Joint family—a Godsend for Growing Children 

Honourable Principal, respected Teachers and My Dear Friends, Today I would like to draw your kind attention towards ‘Joint Family—A Godsend for Growing Children’. 

Do anyone of you have heard from your Granny or mother that they used to live in big houses with a huge family of aunts, uncles, their children, grandma and grandpa? They used to do everything together. It was so much fun. But now urbanisation and nuclear families are gaining popularity. Because of this children of today are missing on the traditional practices of a joint family. A family plays an important role in framing the personality of a child. It is probably the most effective social support unit providing a secure and safe atmosphere for the child. Our values and attitudes are shaped by our families and these are the values that leave a lasting impression on children.

Children in the joint family get the opportunity to enjoy and cherish the love and affection of loved ones around. Children who live in a joint family lead a sheltered life surrounded by their elders. They learn the importance of sharing, being patient, and simultaneously, their lives get enriched while living in a joint family. As the child gets to share the things with his cousins he grows into a person who learns to live with people around. This way the child grows to be more sensitive and well-balanced. 

The security of the child is also ensured. The child is nurtured with the love and affection of the grandparents and not the unruly maid-servants. But, in a joint family the parents should make it sure that they should spend quality time with their children.

Thank you.

Intro: Now a days, students are living in an age where they are more stressed than relaxed. From dawn to dusk, they have a very hectic schedule. Because of cut-throat competition, poor performance and failure, parental pressure, they have no time for recreational activities, leading to bodily stress and strains. 

Intro: It is an age of technology. Students are wasting a lot of time in social media sites such as facebook, Instagram etc in counting their likes or chatting with friends. This not only Kills their imagination and creativity but also acts as a diversion and shortage of time for their academics.

• stringent wild life act

Honourable judges, respected teachers and dear friends! Good morning! I am here to speak on the topic “Man is the worst enemy of his fellow creatures”. 

No animal kills others unless it is hungry. No animal destroys the habitat of any other animal. Population is increasing day by day with no leaps and bounds. Consequently, needs and requirements also rising. It is the only man who kills the other animals for fulfilling his own needs. Due to rapid industrialisation and urbanization, man has started destroying nature. Trafficking of exotic wildlife, unethical poaching have become very common practice. Many creatures fall a prey to his needs for medicines, fur, nail polish etc. He does not spare even Mother Nature. Wild life and rare species are at the verge of extinction.

It is the commercial attitude of people which is responsible for deforestation, results in natural disasters such as earthquakes; floods; land sliding; tsunami, global warming,  ecological imbalances and so on. Sea level is continuously increasing day by day. Cyclones is also occurring causing heavy rain, strong and dusty winds, tornadoes. To say, it is the only man who is responsible for ecological disaster.

It is high time. It is the need of hour a stringent wildlife act should be enacted by the Indian Government. We should stop poaching, which is an unlawful activity and wild lives should be protected. Besides, eco friendly attitude should be adopted by us/ people.

Thank you.
