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.

Impact of technology on social life.

 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 topic “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, diarrhoea 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.
