 Q. As Swati/Saswat, Write a speech to be delivered in your school assembly on the topic “Avoid littering tourist places” with refcrence to Unit 5 ‘Vacation Time’ of My English Reader. You may take help from the given hints. (100-150 words)
• Avoid littering the surroundings.
• Large number of dustbins along the tourist spots.
• Do all you can to be a conservationist.
• Even a kid can make a difference,
• Spread awareness not to throw cans, plastic bottles, eatables etc. 

Respected principal, teachers and my dear friends. Good morning everybody. Today, I, Swati, am here to speak on “Avoid littering tourist places”.

Despite Prime Minister’s cleanliness campaign, it is the matter of grave concern that tourist places are full of rubbish scattered on the ground that stinks the whole surroundings. People throw the wrappers, leftover eatables, plastic bottles etc. anywhere in the ground without bothering the cleanliness.  This littering pollute the overall environment of the various beautiful and historic monuments such as Taj Mahal is getting yellowish due to acid rain and pollution, in national parks tourists abuse the various available facilities and thus endanger the environment. Littering also harms the animals or birds in zoos or parks. It is very common to find the cattles consuming plastic bags which choks their digestive system and leads to deaths. What's more, due to littering, tourists places become the breeding ground for houseflies, mosquitoes which in turn, spread various infectious diseases such as malaria, various respiratory problems as severe cough, sneezing and so on. So, in order to save ourselves from various diseases and infections, we should not make the tourists spot dirty.

Now, It is right time to take action otherwise our tourist places can take different (look, shape). We should protect our aged old heritage, tradition and culture. Littering at surroundings of such places should be avoided. The concerned authorities should place/fix bins at some distances at tourist places. Even a kid can make a difference. Kids should be teach to maintain cleanliness at various tourist site. They should be teach to throw their thrash at dustbins and not to throw on the ground. Do all you can be a conservationist ? Of course yes.  Each one of us has a responsibility to protect these precious places. Besides, the concerned authorities should come forward to spread awareness about not to throw cans, plastic bottles, eatables etc. at tourist places instead they should maintain cleanliness as these places are beautiful depiction of (domestic culture.) our aged old culture.

Thank you.

Extra:
Littering- the act of throwing rubbish on ground in public places.

Littering not only ruins the beauty of the place but also harms the wildlife living there. We must make sure to dispose of our waste in the designated bins provided at tourist spots. There are large numbers of dustbins placed along tourist spots for our convenience. It is our responsibility as travelers to keep these places clean for future generations to enjoy.

Remember, even a small act like picking up trash can make a big difference. Let us spread awareness and encourage others not to throw cans, plastic bottles, or any other waste irresponsibly. Let us all do our part to be conservationists and preserve the beauty of our natural surroundings.

Impact of television on children

 Q. As Roshan/ Roshni, Write a speech. to be delivered in your School assembly on the topic, ‘Impact of television on children’, with reference to Unit 6 Tinsel World of My English Reader. You may take the help of the given hints. (100-150 words)

• Television influences the thought and behaviour of of an individual. 
• The positive or negative impact of television depends on selection of programmes.
• Watching too much of television affects health, eyes, mental development etc
• One can gain a lot of knowledge through educative and informative programmes.
• Children try to imitate the characters. 

Respected Principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. A very good morning to all. Today I am here to (share my views on) speak on impact of television on children.

Universally speaking, since the decades, television has been the most popular source of entertainment for people of almost all age groups including children. Various programmes on TV transported the viewers into virtual world, which are more exciting and engaging than real life. They enjoy various programmes, movies based on various themes etc. They gain a lot of knowledge through various educative and informative programmes such as dicovery, National Geographic and Animaĺ Planet shows various facts related to science, which provide them live reflection of their bookish knowledge. They also get an inspiration to raise their voice against social evils or any injustice.

On the other hand, television is a powerful medium that influences the thoughts and behaviour of the children. That is to say, that they are watching more crime and violent scenes which will indulge in them and tend to do the same in their real life. Besides, it will make them addicted to bad habits such as smoking, drnking, violence etc. Consequently, they are under the feeling of aggression and irritability. Additionally, it has negative impact on young kid's physical development and consistently watching TV may leads to degradation of academic performance and values.  What’s more, watching too much TV leads to many health problems such as obesity, weak eye sight, slow mental development etc. The last but not the least, children try to intimate the characters or various stunts shown by the actors in the films, putting their life in danger.

Therefore, it would be wrong to say that the impact of television on children is always negative. The positive or negative impact of television depends on selection of programs that children watch. What type of programmes children watch make all the difference.

Thank you.
