ject, menunjukkan peristiwa atau keadaan. Menurut jenisnya, Verb dibagi menjadi 2
yaitu;
1.Auxiliary Verb

macam Auxiliary Verbs:

Be is, am, are was, were Been
Do do, does Did
Have have, has Had
Modal Will Would

Can Could
Must Must

2. Ordinary/Main Verbs
Main verb adalah verb apapun (termasuk linking verb) yang bukan merupakan auxil-
iary verb. Kata kerja ini dikenal juga dengan istilah full verb atau lexical verb. Main verb

han Verb ini digolongkan menjadi dua, yaitu perubahan yang teratur (regular verb) di-
mana kata kerja dasarnya cukup ditambahkan akhiran –ed; contoh: talk – talked – talked,
walk – walked – walked, manage – managed – managed, dll. Sementara perubahan

Predicative adjective adalah adjective yang posisinya setelah noun yang

diterangkannya dengan dipisahkan oleh linking verb (lain halnya dengan
attributive)

- The children were naughty.

(Anak-anak itu dulunya nakal)
- She feels empty.
(Dia merasa hampa.)

- Her life is full of hapiness.
(hidupnya penuh dengan kebahagiaan.)
- Vitamin E is good for our skin.
(Vitamin E bermanfaat untuk kulit kita.)

C. Urutan Adjetive
Adjective berfungsi untuk menerangkan noun. Biasanya posisi adjective di depan
noun yang diterangkannya (fungsi attributive). Ketika menerangkan noun, mungkin
digunakan lebih dari satu adjective. Pada situasi ini, kita perlu menggunakan adjec-
tive order (urutan adjective dalam bahasa Inggris berdasarkan kategori) untuk men-
empatkan setiap kata sifat tersebut pada posisi yang tepat.

The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were ex-
pecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone
had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived,
some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting
on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs
House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the par-
cel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

Joe Sanders has the most beautiful garden in our town. Nearly everybody enters for “The
Nicest Garden Competition” each year, but Joe wins every time. Bill Frith’s garden is
larger than Joe’s. Bill works harder than Joe and grows more flowers and vegetables, but
Joe’s garden is more interesting. He has made neat paths and has built a wooden bridge
over pool. I like gardens too, but I do not like hard work. Every year I enter for the garden

 CHAPTER 9 PAST TIME

A. Definisi
Past time merupakan kalimat yang menggunakan keterangan waktu lampau, jadi semua
tindakan yang sedang dibicarakan sudah benar-benar terjadi atau tidak lagi dilakukan saat
tindakan itu dibicarakan. Berbeda dengan bahasa Indonesia, dalam bahasa Inggris, jika
kita membicarakan tindakan atau kejadian yang terjadi di masa lampau maka kata kerja
akan berubah sesuai dengan atauran yang berlaku. Perubahan kata tersebut dibagi men-
jadi dua yaitu ada kata kerja yang berubahnya beraturan (Regular Verb) dan kata kerja
yang berubahnya tidak beraturan (Irregular Verb).
Secara sederhana, past time dibagi menjadi dua; yaitu simple past dan simple past tense.
Berikut ini definisi dan contohnya:
1. Simple Past digunakan untuk membicarakan aktivitas atau situasi yang dimulai dan di-
akhiri di waktu lampau. Contoh:
• I slept for eight hours yesterday.
• Our plan arrived on time last night.

2. Past Pregressive digunakan untuk membicarakan aktivitas atau situasi yang sedang ter-
jadi saat kejadian lain di waktu lampau. Contoh:
• I was eating dinner when Tom came to my house.
• When the phone rang, I was sleeping.

B. Bentuk Kalimat Simple Past dan Past Progressive

Ada tiga bentuk kalimat Simple Past dan Past Progressive, yaitu positive, negative,
dan interrogative. Setiap bentuk kalimat memiliki aturannya masing-masing.
Perhatikan tabel berikut:
Simple Present Present Progressive
Positive I-You-We-They learned. I was learning.
He-She-It learned. You-We-They were learning.
He-She-It was learning.

I-You-We-They did not learn. I was not learning.

Negative He-She-It did not learn. You-We-They were not learning.
He-She-It was not learning.

Did I-You-We-They learn? Was I learning?

Interrogative Did He-She-It learn? Were You-We-They learning?
Was He-She-It learning?

The Best and the Worst

On Wednesday evening, we went to the Town Hall. It was the last day of the year and a
large crowd of people had gathered under the Town Hall clock. It would strike twelve in
twenty minutes’ time. Fifteen minutes passed and then, at five to twelve, the clock
stopped. The big minute hand did not move. We waited and waited, but nothing hap-
pened. Suddenly someone shouted. ‘It’s two minutes past twelve! The clock has
stopped!’ I looked at my watch. It was true. The big clock refused to welcome the New
Year. At that moment, everybody began to laugh and sing.

One Good Turn Deserves Another

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Harry Steele came in. Harry worked in a
lawyer’s office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He gets a good salary, but he
always borrows money from his friends and never pays it back. Harry saw me and came
and sat at the same table. He has borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I
asked him to lend me £ 2. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. “I have
never borrowed any money from you” Harry said, “so now you can pay for my dinner!”

 CHAPTER 12 PASSIVE VOICE

A. Devinisi
Passive voice adalah suatu grammatical construction (bentuk gramatikal) dimana
subject kalimat tidak melakukan aksi, melainkan menerima aksi (sebagai receiver of
action). Aksi ditindaklanjuti oleh agent lain (sebagai doer of action) yang dapat dise-
butkan ataupun tidak.

B. Bentuk Passive Voice

Passive voice dibentuk dari auxiliary verb dan past participle (verb-3).

Auxiliary verb + Verb 3

Auxiliary verb yang digunakan pada passive voice dapat berupa:
• primary auxiliary verb “be” (is, are, am, was, were),
• kombinasi antara dua primary auxiliary verb (is/are being, was/were being, has/have
been), atau
• kombinasi primary auxiliary verb dan modal auxiliary verb (will be, will have been)

Adapun past participle yang digunakan berupa kata kerja transitive. Past participle diper-
oleh dengan menambahkan -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, atau -ne pada base form berupa regular
verb. Pada base form berupa irregular verb, bentuk past participle tidak konsisten.

C. Rumus Passive Voice

Andi drinks milk. Milk is drunk by Andi.

Andi is drinking milk.
Andi drank milk.
Andi was drinking milk.
Andi will drink milk.
Andi would drink milk.
Andi has drunk milk.
Andi had drunk milk.
Milk is being drunk by Andi.

 CHAPTER 13 QUESTIONS TAG

A. Definisi
Question tag adalah pertanyaan pendek yang ditambahkan di akhir pernyataan
(declarative sentence) untuk menanyakan informasi atau meminta persetujuan.
Seperti idiom (ungkapan bahasa Inggris), question tag merupakan bagian yang sering
digunakan dalam percakapan sehari-hari seorang native speaker. Walaupun grammar,
pronounciation, dan intonation-nya baik, seseorang dapat mudah dikenali bukan se-
bagai native speaker jika tidak menggunakan question tag.

B. Bentuk Question Tag

Question tag disesuaikan dengan pernyataan yang mendahuluinya. Ketika kalimat
pernyataan menggunakan linking verb “be” (is, am, are, was, were), maka question
tag pun menggunakan be. Jika kalimat pernyataan menggunakan primary auxiliary
verb (be, do, have) atau modal auxiliary verb (will, would, may, may, might, can, could,
shall, should) maka question tag menggunakan auxiliary verb yang pertama (jika ada
lebih dari satu). Adapun ketika kalimat pernyataan menggunakan main verb selain
linking verb “be” dan tanpa didampingi auxiliary verb, dummy auxiliary verb
“do/does/did” yang digunakan pada question tag.

You don’t love math, do you?

Do you speak English?

I had an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in south of France, I
drove on to the next town. On the way, a young man waved to me. I stopped and he
asked me for a lift. As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in
France and he replied in the same language. Apart from a few words, I do not know any
Franch at all. Neither of us spoke during the journey. I had nearly reached the town,
when the young man suddenly said, very slowly. “Do you speak English?” As I soon
learnt, he was English himself!

 CHAPTER 15 DEGREES OF COMPARISON

A. Definisi
Degree of comparison adalah bentuk adjective (kata sifat) atau adverb (kata keteran-
gan) yang menyatakan perbandingan. Ada tiga degree of comparison, yaitu: positive,
comparative, dan superlative degree.
B. Bentuk Degree of Comparison
1. Positive Degree
Ketika digunakan untuk menyatakan perbandingan, positive degree harus digu-
nakan bersama correlative conjunction as … as. Positive degree berupa bentuk standar
adjective dan adverb tanpa perubahan apapun.
• The task is not as difficult as you imagine.
(Tugas tersebut tidak sesulit yang kamu bayangkan.)
• The test was as easy as pie.
(Tes tersebut sangat mudah.) as easy as pie = extremely easy
• My brother drives as carefully as my father in the residential area.
(Saudara laki-laki saya mengemudi sehati-hati ayahnya di area perumahan.)
2. Comparative Degree
Comparative degree digunakan untuk membandingkan dua orang, binatang,
benda, atau hal. Kebanyakan adjective atau adverb yang terdiri dari satu suku kata di-
tambahkan akhiran -er, sedangkan dua suku kata atau lebih diawali dengan kata more.
Khusus untuk dua suku kata adjective dengan akhiran -y, akhiran tersebut dihilangkan
lalu ditambahkan -ier. Ketika berada di dalam kalimat, degree of comparison ini bi-
asanya diikuti kata than.
Contoh Comparative Degree:
adjective: cold-colder, patient – more patient, happy-happier
adverb: fast-faster, gently – more gently, slowly – more slowly
• Your heart is colder than ice.
(Hatimu lebih dingin dari es.)
• The happiest person I know thinks that sometimes changing up his routine
is really important.
(Orang paling berbahagia yang saya kenal berpikir bahwa kadang-kadang
mengubah rutinitasnya itu sungguh-sungguh penting.)
• I ran faster than you did.
(Saya berlari lebih cepat dari kamu.)

 • Land snails move more slowly than starfish.
(Siput darat bergerak lebih lambat dari bintang laut.)
3. Superlative Degree
Superlative degree berfungsi untuk membandingankan tiga atau lebih orang,
benda, atau hal. Mayoritas satu suku adjective dan adverb didapat bentuk superlative-
nya dengan menambahkan akhiran -est, sedangkan yang lebih dari satu suku kata dita-
mbahkan kata most di depannya. Adapun untuk adjective yang terdiri dari dua suku
kata dengan akhiran -y, akhiran tersebut dihilangkan lalu ditambahkan -iest. Ketika be-
rada di dalam kalimat, superlative degree diawali dengan definite article the.
Contoh Superlative Degree:
adjective: cold-coldest, patient – most patient, happy-happiest
adverb: fast-fastest, gently – most gently, slowly – most slowly
Contoh Kalimat Superlative Degree:
• Your heart is the coldest of all.
(Hatimu adalah yang terdingin dari semuanya.)
• The happiest person I know thinks that sometimes changing up his routine is
really important.
(Orang paling berbahagia yang saya kenal berpikir bahwa kadang-kadang
mengubah rutinitasnya itu sungguh-sungguh penting.)

 THANK YOU SPEECH FOR PARENTS

Respected Principal, Respected Teachers and My Dear Friends!

Welcome to the annual celebration of our Islamic Boarding School of
Bina Insan Mulia. This is the day, which each one of us waits for,
since this represents the closing of the school for the next 2
months when the children would stay with their respective par-
ents, go on vacation or enjoy their holiday as per their wishes.
This year, I have been given the honour to deliver the annual
day speech. I would especially like to utilize this moment to
thank those people who have transformed my life – my
parents.
There are not sufficient words to describe how thank-
ful I am to them, for everything they have done for me.
But that doesn’t lessen the value of my teachers. I am uti-
lizing this platform today to thank my parents as they have
also gathered here. Parents do so much for us right from
our birth till the end and I realized this only when I came
to the boarding school. No wonder, the school has taught
me discipline and to be self-dependent, but the impor-
tance of parents in life is eternal.
I am not making any comparison here; but today I would
be biased and thank my parents for their blessings and endless sup-
port they have given to me.
Papa and Mummy, I want to tell you that I am not at all angry that you sent me here. I
later realized, how judicious decision it was on your parts to send me to the Islamic
boarding school because not only that I learnt religion and to be an ideal child but I also
made a lot of friends here. I want to thank you for showering endless love upon me in
every situation. Thank you for explaining me with utmost love when I made silly mis-
takes. Thank you for being patient in listening to my every little problem over the phone
and helping me to find their solutions.
Papa, you have always remained the pillar of my life, I have never seen you crying even
in the darkest moments of your life. I always thought that my dad is a super human while
that was not true; you are also a human being with an emotional heart and I realized that
when I saw you getting emotional over my departure. You bought everything for me and
fulfilled all my irrational demands.
Mummy, you are the most wonderful person in the world; you always taught me to be
kind towards others. Patience and Persistence are the biggest mantra of ‘success’ that I
learnt from you. You taught me to be considerate and advised me to stay calm in any kind
of altercation with anyone, due to which I am loaded with friends today.
My life has a mission and vision today; all due to your endless effort and trust upon
me. I understand, it was the toughest decision for you to send me to the hostel but you
made it because you wanted to transform the irrational child of yours to a polite and con-
siderate human being.
I have learnt a lot from you after being away from you; most importantly I have started
valuing people and their efforts.
I can’t thank you enough for whatever you have done and still doing for me; yet I want
to say ‘Thank you’ Mummy and Papa, I Love you!

 THANK YOU SPEECH FOR TEACHERS

Respected Principal, Teachers and My Dear Friends!

First of all, I would like to welcome you all to the occasion of our
farewell day. I have been given this opportunity to host the pro-
gram today. Well, this is a very emotional moment for all of us as
we are getting promoted to a new life on the one hand; whereas on
the other hand we are also leaving behind our most
favourite place, i.e. our school where we spent the most
significant growing years of our lives.
I would like to utilize this moment to thank all our teach-
ers who prepared us for the world outside. Our teachers
have been an epitome of strength and a great pillar of sup-
port to all of us. They have been as strict as father and
as loving as mother, equally caring like a friend, a strict
disciplinarian and yet always so approachable. Our teachers
are wonderful human beings because they have accepted all of
us with all the weaknesses and have worked upon us to over-
come those weaknesses.
I still remember, I joined this school in Standard V,
when I used to be the shy and introvert person. I faced
difficulties in speaking in public and today, I am standing here
to deliver the farewell speech. This is all because of the great and loving teachers I came
across in this school. They never left any stone unturned to change my personality and
attitude. Needless to say, they have worked on me even more to prepare me for the out-
side world. A teacher is essentially a mentor and a role model for the student. The stu-
dent believes in the teachers and every word they say. They are noble and selfless people
coz they accept each of their student wholeheartedly without any bias and favoritism.
My parents always say, that school period is the golden period in everyone’s life and I
realize it now when I stand amidst all my favorite teachers and fellow friends to bid good-
bye for a newer world.
I would especially take out some moment from this event to thank Ma’am X and Sir A
for being my guide always and showing me the right direction and path to walk on. It was
more difficult for me than the other students to accomplish the projects and tasks you
assigned to us. You both have spent extra hours and shown special care to me in order to
prepare me for the ‘real world’. I still remember the day in Class XI, when I had given up
and lost all hopes; both of you encouraged me in your own special way and shared exam-
ples of great people who failed in the beginning and later became famous people.
You taught us to be persistent and chase the dream without compromising on small is-
sues; that was one of several lessons I have learnt from all of you. I am sure, all my
friends would like to share the word of gratitude with our loving teachers, as we have al-
ways been very grateful to all of you.
I thank all the teachers, Principal and all other staff on behalf of the fellow students
and myself.
Thank you for being an indispensable part of our lives!

 SPEECH ON THE VALUE OF EDUCATION

Warm greetings to our distinguished guests, respected principal, teachers and my dear
friends!
Every child is born into this world with the “trailing clouds of glory from heaven”. And,
suddenly these little angels of God find themselves filled with fears, doubts and confu-
sion. It is here that the role of education gets highlighted. When these God’s angles
struggle with fears and doubts, education comes to their rescue and acts as sunshine by
removing darkness and helping them overcome their fears and clear their doubts. When
it happens, the world appears bright and cheerful and helps children in becoming good
human beings.
But education doesn’t come on its own as there is got to be an intermediary who can
impart knowledge and show them the right path. This is certainly the role a teacher plays
in our lives and he/she is the one who comes as an experienced person and helps chil-
dren differentiate between right and wrong. Of course, it’s the parents who act as a best
guide for the children and help them grow as a responsible citizen because gaining book-
ish knowledge is not enough. One has to go farther than this and when children learn
how to live their lives with dignity, conduct themselves, how to be humble and how to
treat others – it is then the education is considered to be complete and believed to be
serving its purpose.
Let me share with you a brief story on the Value of Education. Once there was a man
who was passing through the desert when suddenly he heard a voice calling on him by
saying, “Take some pebbles and keep them with you and tomorrow you will be both glad
and sorry”.
The man did the same and next morning when he searched into his pocket, he found
emeralds, rubies and diamonds. And at that time he was both happy and sorry. He was
happy because he had taken at least some and sorry that he didn’t pick more. This is true
of education also.
So my dear friends, let’s keep the value of education intact so that we do not feel sorry
the coming day. Education is that wealth which no one can steal but it increases the
more you share it with others. Having said that, it’s important to be fully vigilant of what
we are sharing with others in the form of knowledge as we should share
meaningful and life enhancing knowledge and not something that de-
stroys people and communities.
Education is the most powerful tool so use it wisely. If you are a
privileged person, help others by enlightening them, by teach-
ing them the difference between right and wrong and impart-
ing moral values. If education will be based on values and ethics,
strengthened by sound moral principles, then our generation
will grow up as rational beings. On the contrary, if education
will be founded on selfish reasons then no one can prevent
that society from its downfall and there will be chaos every-
where.
So let’s take the onus of imparting good values to our coming
generation and never lose sight of the primary aim of educa-
tion, i.e. to become good and responsible global citizens.
Thank You!

 FAREWELL SPEECH FOR FRIENDS – 1

Respected Manager and Dear Team Members!

Finally, the day has come when I am standing amidst you and preparing to give my
farewell speech. Let me start my speech by expressing my sincere gratitude to you all for
organizing such a lovely farewell party for me; I am truly overwhelmed.
I joined this organization 10 years back when I was 25 years old; young and energetic. I
had freshly completed my management course with plenty of theoretical knowledge.
This organization gave me a lot of opportunities to learn and grow as a professional. Not
only has this company polished my skills and enhanced my knowledge, but it has also
given me a lot of good friends like you all.
Working here has been a great learning experience and I am thankful to the manage-
ment for showing utmost trust in my skills and dedication. All my leaders have played a
very important role in making me a perfect professional. But I would like to especially
thank my current leader who is more than a leader to me. I have found the best friend
and a big brother in him.
Today being my last day, I would like to be little bold in accepting that the strong per-
son you all know me as has also felt discouraged and demoralized at times. There have
been days, when I had lost faith in myself and given up hopes. It was then, when Mr. A,
my current boss, my friend, my guide boosted my morale and showed me light in despair.
I’ve learnt from him to accept criticism and compliments without being emotional. I have
taken directions and guidance from him not only in my professional but in my personal
life as well. Working with him has made me an open-minded person and I have learnt to
respect other people’s opinions too and consider their ideas along with mine which has
always given better results.
Mr. A, I and our team have handled several difficult projects together and have suc-
cessfully accomplished those. After office hours, we are bonded as great friends and cel-
ebrate every occasions of success together. We have discussed personal and professional
problems and shared advices with each other whenever required. This organisation has
not only given me a successful career, but also a bunch of very good and trustworthy
friends.
I am leaving this organisation due to personal reasons but I am always going to miss
this organization that is working with extremely talented and professional people. As a
team leader and trainer, I have handled many teams, but the team that I am currently
working with now is the most wonderful team I have ever worked with. You people are
simply awesome. I never had to worry about the deadline or quality of any project or as-
signment and it’s all because of you guys.
I only used to share the project plan and
implementation details and you would
work day and time to execute the same.
You all are going to be highly successful
and this organization will certainly give
you everything you deserve.
It’s been a wonderful experience work-
ing with lovely friends like you all and I
am surely going to miss all this. I wish you
all a successful life and career ahead.
Stay connected and thank You!

 FAREWELL SPEECH FOR FRIENDS – 2

Hello Friends! It is so good to see all of you in front of my eyes. My graduation, Post-
graduation and Office friends all together at one place. For you people it might seem just
another thing but honestly for me, it is the heaven on earth.
Each one of you has given me tremendous memories and together we have cherished
best of the moments of our life. But how sad it is for me, that I happen to witness this in-
credible moment on the day when i am to bid you all a Good bye. Yes, it’s time for me to
say goodbye to Indonesia and unfortunately to you all as well. It is the destiny that has
played so well in making my path collide with all of you at some or the other moment,
but this same destiny has now planned to take me beyond the country boundaries and
make my future the best.
Anyways, I know none of us should actually be sad for this. It is just the physical day to
day connection that would be missing, but we all will be virtually connected way to
strong. We will be the living in the strong long distance friendships.
What a journey it has been, the days when we laughed together so hard are now
bringing tears in my eyes and the days that we fought and cried are now bring peace and
happiness within. We all have lived happily together with each other.
Our moments have been amazing. You all will anyhow be in touch with each other
physically as well, but it is the toughest moment for me to wave this goodbye to all of
you all together. I was always taught that dream big and work for it, this step of mine is
just a practical intake of this lesson. But, nobody along with this told me that when you
work for your big dreams, there might come times when you will have to let go a part of
you. I wish somebody told me, i would have not dreamt this big. Just kidding!
I know seeing me grow and prosper will make my friends way to happy, of course just
like the past days, i would always
love to listen when you say. Yaar,
she is my best friend.
Soon will come the time when
we will physically be together again
to cherish old memories and create
new moments of fun and laughter.
I am going to miss you all so so
so much, and it is so obvious that
this feeling cannot be expressed in
words. A big hug to this entire
group of my lifelines. Thank you for
coming into my life and making it
what it is today. Along with my
other stuff, i have packed all the fun
filled moments and your gestures
that remind me of us together.
Love you guys, stay connected
and miss me. Good Bye! Thank you
for coming here and making this
evening count as the best day of my
life.
Thank you.

 WELCOME SPEECH ON TEACHERS’ DAY BY STUDENTS – SPEECH 1

Hon’ble Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My

Dear Students – Warm Greetings to Everyone!
On the occasion of teacher’s day, I – Manu Saini
being the head girl is present before you all to deliver
a welcome speech for our beloved teachers. We all
welcome our teachers to an entertaining day
where we as students would take an opportu-
nity to present before you various plays
and dances which will not allow
you to leave your seats.
Teachers’ day is one of the most
important days in the life of stu-
dents. This day is celebrated on
5th September on the birth date
of Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan who himself was a teacher of great repute and also held
the position of Indonesia’s second President.
Students are considered to be the future pillars, then teachers you are the ones who con-
struct those pillars in a positive way. You shape our lives in a beautiful manner through
your hard work and dedication. We are happy to celebrate this day to show you how
grateful we are for whatever you have done for us your entire life.
I would love to share my experience of an amazing teacher which made me realize that
how important teachers are in our lives. I was in kindergarten when I wrote my first essay
and my teacher gave me a star. It was not only a star for me but a motivation to do well
in my life and here today I stand before all of you as the head girl of my school. My
teacher was the one who gave me that confidence. This is what a teacher’s role is in our
lives. Teachers have magic wands which helps us in making our lives easier and fruitful. It
is rightly said that “teachers are candles who keep on burning and igniting our minds
which removes the darkness of ignorance from our lives”. They mould us, shape us and
carve us in becoming good human beings with their virtue of knowledge.
They pass this knowledge with the hope that we as students will achieve success in our
life and make good careers. We are indebted to our teachers for every little thing in our
life. You have always been our guiding angels and our entertainers too by teaching us in a
fun manner through which we learn and also enjoy our syllabus instead of getting bored.
Teachers demand nothing from us but teach us with the hope that one day we will be-
come successful in our lives. Thus, we as students have the responsibility to work hard in
our studies and make our teachers and students proud. Working hard in studies is not
the only duty, but we also need to carry forward the moral values that our teachers have
taught us to the future generation. The most important thing is to value and respect our
amazing teachers.
Therefore, I request all my dear friends to follow the advice of your teachers and become
their ideal students so that you can bring a beautiful smile on their faces.
Thank You!

 WELCOME SPEECH ON TEACHERS’ DAY BY STUDENTS – SPEECH 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Colleagues!

We all are here to celebrate the joyful teacher’s day and to praise them for their hard
work and dedication. Today is the 5th of September, the day when we celebrate teacher’s
day with fun and frolic. I would like to thank my class teacher to give
me this wonderful opportunity to speak before you all
on this auspicious occasion. This day is celebrated not
only in Indonesia but all over the world where students
give respect to their beloved teachers and prepare for vari-
ous activities like Dance, Thanksgiving speeches, Prayers
etc., in a similar pattern we all students present here
have also prepared something special for our
teachers.
It was Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan
who accepted that his birthday to be
celebrated as Teacher’s day. He was a
very righteous person and that is the
reason he dedicated his birthday to
the entire teachers family. Our teach-
ers have also been the same with lots of love in their hearts which they shower on us
without any demand. They treat us like their own children and love us from bottom of
their hearts and soul.
As kids we have always looked up to them for everything in life. They have been our
role models and for this we are really very grateful to them. They provide us the motiva-
tion to survive in this world and have always been our guiding spirits. They are the ones
who without even asking understand what we want in our lives.
I still remember the day when I was in class 9 and I didn’t understand one of my Hindi
poems. The entire class understood it and kept on reciting it as told by my Hindi teacher,
but she was the one who without even speaking came to know that I didn’t understand
the meaning of the poem. The bell rang and after the entire class left she made me sit for
a while and made me understand the complete poem despite it being the lunch time.
This is how great teachers are, they sacrifice everything for our bright lives and future en-
deavors.
We all understand the fact that on ‘Parent Teacher Meetings’ they never complain
about our mischiefs we do in our classes but they are always more concerned about our
studies. They do not scold us in front of our parents and also ensure that we are not
scolded by our parents too.
Now I would like to call upon my class teacher and my Vice Principal to light the lamps
on this positive occasion, followed by a dance programme which awaits you all.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON TEACHER’S DAY CELEBRATION – 1

Good Morning Teachers and My Loving Students – Warm Greetings to Everyone!

Teachers are a very integral part of our lives and they need to be rewarded for their ef-
forts and hard work. So as the Principal of this school I am here to present before you a
speech on teacher’s day celebration.
The date, i.e. 5th September is marked by the birthday of Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan and
thus, today we celebrate teacher’s day on his commemoration. Students like you across
the world celebrate this day with a lot of happiness and joy. You all present gifts and
sweets to your teachers as you all respect them for their efforts and work. Teachers teach
the entire day and neglect everything in their lives to make their students achieve some-
thing in their life and reach great heights.
Being a teacher is not an easy task, teaching your students entire day without sitting on
the chair and understanding your strengths and weaknesses and then polishing it in the
right manner. Checking your assignments and registers and even taking them back home
to complete all of them on right time, this is what a teacher contributes in a student’s
life. They get back home and prepare lectures for the next day and also devise various
methods so that every student is well versed with the concept.
This helps in overall growth of the students and they get motivated to study in the right
and appropriate manner. In certain circumstances you as a student do get offended when
your teacher scolds you but you all should understand that they scold you to make you a
smarter human being and you do not repeat those mistakes again in life. They do this all
for your own good and for your successful careers.
Have you ever realized what your teacher gets in return doing so much of hard work?
The answer is nothing; they become happy when they see you achieving success in life.
That’s the moment for them when they feel that all their hard work that they had put in
their students has been achieved. It’s a saying that “when we grow a plant and nurture it
and when it grows taller it makes us happy”, in the same way teachers feel proud when
they see you making successful careers.
Teachers not only build a life of only one student but the entire generation through their
ideas and knowledge. If we get a great teacher, you as students never forget them your
entire life because you realize the fact that whatever you are today is all because of the
hard work and motivation that they had put in when you were in your growing up ages.
I hope my speech has motivated you to always respect your teachers as they are your
gurus without whom you can’t achieve anything in your life and always remember that
teachers are your second parents who are a guiding light in your and everyone’s lives.
Thank you everyone!

 SPEECH ON IMPORTANCE OF TEACHERS – 2

Hon’ble Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and Dear Students – Warm greetings to
everyone!
As an alumnus of this school I am here to present before you a speech on importance
of teachers on the auspicious occasion of teacher’s day. Teachers are a backbone of any
society whether it is Indonesia or the world. I think you would believe me that whatever
we have achieved in our lives is all because of our teachers.
A teacher’s job is very challenging as they don’t only teach but they too need to do
their homework which includes checking your registers and pin pointing every mistake
that you have committed. This work becomes too challenging and responsible. If a
teacher’s eye is not able to catch even one mistake, then you all would commit the same
mistake again. The teacher needs to be too vigilant in order to correct your mistakes.
It is rightly pointed out that the first teachers in our lives are our parents, secondary to
them are the teachers in schools who act as a link between the school and the students.
They are the ones who recognize and understand our weaknesses and put all their efforts
to rectify those problems with us. We need teachers in every phase of our lives whether
in schools or in colleges. A teacher’s role is the one that nobody can understand. They
never let us know that they are facing certain issues in their lives. Once they enter the
classrooms then it’s just them and us. They have always kept their personal and profes-
sional lives separate and they never let their problems hamper our studies and educa-
tion.
They impart knowledge to the extent that every student understands the concept in an
easy and refined way. They mould us into better human beings that sometimes even our
parents fail to counsel us and they also go to the teachers to counsel us in the right man-
ner. Our teachers have always gone an extra mile to explain every bit of our doubts until
we understand the concept to the core.
They keep themselves updated with all the happenings around the world so that they
can share those things with us. Teachers spend their entire lives on us and they demand
nothing in return.
It’s important that we take a moment to admire and appreciate our teachers for what-
ever they have been doing for us. Teacher’s day is the right occasion to explain them
what they mean to us and how important they are without whom our lives would have
been meaningless. They are guiding souls who never expect anything in return but pray
for us so that we can be good human beings and can achieve successful careers.
Thus, what they require from us is to study well which will in turn benefit us. We need
to bring a smile on their faces for whatever they have done for us. So always remember
to respect and value teachers in your lives.
Thank you everyone!

 TEACHERS DAY SPEECH BY STUDENTS – 3

On the occasion of Teacher’s day, I Kunal

Gupta is here to present a speech on our
beloved teachers!
Everyone will agree to the fact that
teacher’s day is one of the exciting days in
our lives and we as students get an oppor-
tunity to teach and behave like our teach-
ers. Many of our students standing here are
dressed in Sarees to teach in classrooms
and act the same way our teacher’s do. For
our teachers they get an off today and have
a chance to enjoy the day with their family
and friends, since whole year they spend
their time with us forgetting their personal issues in life.
We all know that it is difficult to define the term ‘teacher’. They not only guide us on
the right track but also help us to understand which career to choose as they understand
us more than anybody else in this world. They develop our overall character and person-
ality which make us confident individuals and provide us the strength to deal with all
sorts of problem in our lives.
Teachers are like second parents who have a good influence on our lives and whenever
we need them they are always present there to help us to get out of a problem. All of us
have some day imitated our teachers as we believe them to be our role models as they
provide us everything we need to make ourselves a good personality.
There are certain qualities that every teacher possesses:
They Interact with Students: Interaction creates a bridge between us and teachers.
whenever we feel low we always think of our teachers and interaction helps us to over-
come those feelings. They not only impart knowledge regarding our subjects but they
also share experiences of their lives which help us to analyze our lives and apply the
same advice.
Motivation and Enthusiasm: All teachers here would agree that whenever they enter
the classrooms they always come with a bright smile and full of energy which keeps us
motivated and active all day long. We admire our teachers and try to become like them.
Hard work and Dedication: Teachers are an inspiration for all of us. Their commitment
towards us which lets us grow and their confidence in us that we will get good marks
make us believe in ourselves and let us study with dedication as we think that we won’t
let our teachers trust break.
At the end I would just like to thank all my teachers for the hard work they put on us
which helps us to grow in a right manner. Teachers you all are our guiding force who
won’t let us fall and make us realize that after every failure there is success waiting for us
so we shouldn’t give up in our lives. With bottom of our hearts we would like to appreci-
ate your efforts to make us believe in ourselves and make us realize that we are on the
right path towards our successful future.
Thank You!

 MOTHER’S DAY SPEECH – 1

A Very Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen!

Today, our company has organized this event on the auspi-
cious occasion of “The Mother’s Day” and I would like to thank
all the beautiful mothers who came here to grace this event.
Today, not only as a manager but as a child, I am feeling blessed
that I have get this opportunity to thank my mother for
everything that she did and is still doing for me. She is a big
reason for everything precious I got in my life and she is the
most precious of them all. She found her happiness in my
happiness. For me, it is the most blissful part of my life
when she smiles.
I guess, it will be true to say that the relationship of
mother-child is the most beautiful and an inseparable bond
that we all have in this world. For me she is the person
who taught me how to stand on my own feet by holding
my hand and it was she who taught me how to learn from mistakes. She was there for
me to help selflessly without expecting anything in return except love. I can leave every
luxury for my mother because I feel more relaxed and peaceful with my mother and
there is no substitute to it.
Mother is the most important person in one’s life and so is to me. When I reach home,
it feels like nobody is there in the house if my mother is not there. In my childhood, when
I falls and got injured, the first word that explodes through my mouth is (mummy)
mother because I always know that my mother is there for me in every situation and
from that time to now there is nothing that has changed in our relation. Today I am a
manager of this huge prosperous company and my mother is the biggest reason for my
success.
With her everything feels easy because I know that she is behind me. In my childhood,
she stood asleep during my exams just for my help and so that I could prepare for it well.
She did infinite sacrifices for my happiness and success selflessly. She is a true goddess
who gave me my life, happiness and everything that I have today. Every mother did and is
still doing sacrifices selflessly and thus they deserve huge respect from everyone. With-
out a mother, our creation would be impossible. For me, she did everything she could
and now when I am fully grown, it is my turn to do everything that is possible to make my
mother happy. I believe that no one has enough potential that a mother has because the
sacrifices that she does for her child no one has that potential to do that much. There is a
mother behind every child who gain success and that is the reason it was said that there
is a women behind every successful person which means mother.
Now, at the end of my speech I would like to grab this opportunity to thank our com-
pany’s owner who gave me this opportunity to organize this auspicious event for our
mothers and for the opportunity to thank my mother and I hope that this will become
the most memorable day for our mothers and for us too.
Thank you all very much and I wish you all a great day ahead!

 MOTHER’S DAY SPEECH – 2

Respected Principal, Respected Teachers and My Dear Friend!

Today we all have gathered here on the account of mother’s day and as a head girl of
this school I am feeling very fortunate that I have got this opportunity to say a few words
for our mothers. Although, every day of our lives would be dedicated to our parents but
as this day has been labeled as “The Mother’s Day” so it became quite special for our
mothers and for us too. Mother’s day is being celebrated from thousands of years ago
since ancient period. In Indonesia we follow the tradition of worshiping goddess and it is
just similar to the mother’s day. On this day we get a chance to show our gratitude and
love towards our mothers. A mother dedicates her whole life to her children without ex-
pecting anything in return. The only thing she wants is be loved by her children. For her, a
hug from her children is bigger than anything in this world and so is for us as children.
Despite many relations, the most transparent and selfless relation that we all have in
our lives is that what we share with our mother. It does not matter that how difficult the
situation is, a mother is always there for her children till her last breath. Some children
do not understand the value of their mother but at the time when they came to realize it,
it is already late. They send their mothers to an old age home which is a very shameful
act. Many people compare mothers with The God but she is an actual goddess that we
can see with our eyes. A mother is a goddess who gave us our lives through infinite sacri-
fices that no one else can ever do that much for anybody. There is nothing in the entire
universe that could be compared with our mothers. A mother is a most reliable person in
our lives. She is a person who we can trust blindly in every situation. It is very difficult to
imagine a world without a mother because she is the reason behind creation of this en-
tire world.
She stands behind her child for the support that he/she wants and it is our duty to give
her the support at the time when she is in need. Behind every person’s success there is a
most caring and a helping hand of his/her mother. Without a mother life seems impossi-
ble. She is the person who teaches her child to walk on his/her own feet. Today we all
have this worthy opportunity to thank our mothers for raising us and for all her support
because without her we would not be standing here on this
day. A mother is a picture of sacrifices and dedication. Let
us make this day a most memorable and a precious day for
our mothers.
On this note, I would like to extend special thanks for my
mother for everything and for all of you for your patience.
I wish you a great day ahead!

 SPEECH ON WORLD HERITAGE DAY – 1

Good Morning Children – I hope you all are doing well in your studies and if there are
any issues related to your studies; then please feel free to come to my office. Today, I and
all the teachers decided to assemble all the children for the speech ceremony on World
Heritage Day. Since the day is around the corner, I wanted to enlighten our children on
this subject. As a principal of this school, I take the onus not only to make our children
perform well in studies, but also to enlighten them on such subjects that concern
mankind greatly.
World Heritage is described as the common wealth of mankind. This day is a brilliant
reminder of our rich cultural past and it becomes our responsibility to preserve our her-
itage not only for ourselves, but for the next generations to come. Undoubtedly, heritage
sites ought to be preserved and protected. They are priceless assets for mankind. The
date for the celebration of World Heritage Day is 18 April and it first began in the year
1982. ICOMOS, i.e. International Council for Monuments and Sites had started a sympo-
sium in Tunisia, the African country.
The calls were made in order to celebrate the “International Day for Monuments and
Sites” across the globe. The idea caught the attention of the people and the committee
members then gave approval to the suggestion. The proposal afterwards was introduced
at the UNESCO General Conference where a decree was passed in the month of Novem-
ber 1983.
Since that momentous day, the whole world began observing the “International Monu-
ments and Sites Day”, which is also called as “World Heritage Day” on 18th April. Our
sites and monuments can only be given protection through the joint efforts of the global
community. On the day of World Heritage, awareness campaigns are being organized for
enlightening the masses about the diversity of our cultural wealth and the kind of solu-
tion is needed to preserve and protect it. It is true that heritage sites are exposed to vari-
ous risk factors and hence we should do all that we can to the best of our capacity in
providing protection to these precious assets.
Interestingly, year after year a theme has been chosen to celebrate this day. Let’s say
for example, in the year 2010, “Agricultural Heritage” was decided as a theme. The whole
idea was to consider the evolution of man on this earth and its indispensable relationship
with nature. Agricultural heritage laid stress on various types of agricultural activities,
landscapes and systems and how they took shape as the human civilization progressed.
Thus, the World Heritage Day is observed in many ways. Visits to the sites and monu-
ments are planned with a view to highlight the importance of preserving these cultural
assets. When restoration works become successful, people
are often invited to pay a visit to these sites. There is also a
wide media coverage that throws light on impressive mon-
uments. Interviews and conferences are also held every-
where. Debates and discussions are organized and
exhibitions are also put up for a great visual treat. This day
is indeed a day for every respective citizen of a country to
feel proud of the great cultural assets of his/her nation.
I hope everyone enjoyed listening to this speech as
much as I did in delivering it. This is all I wanted to say.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON WORLD HERITAGE DAY – 2

To our esteemed chief guests and dear audience – Welcome to the 97th symposium of
our Radhakrishna cultural committee! I am your host for today – Rajeev Shukla – and
have been an active part of this committee from past four years.
Friends, since all of us are present here it is my great desire to deliver a speech on
World Heritage Day as somewhere I feel people experience a sense of detachment from
their national cultural heritage and globally as well. It is extremely important to inculcate
a feeling of pride at our national cultural wealth and preserve it for posterity so that the
coming generation can have the privilege of appreciating the cultural possessions of
his/her country.
Before I explain the importance of World Heritage Day, please let me first throw some
light on what a world heritage site actually is. A world heritage site is categorized as a
man-made or natural edifice or area, which is of global significance and a particular place
which requires special attention and protection. Such sites are officially acknowledged by
the UN as well as UNESCO, spelled as the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cul-
tural Organization. According to UNESCO, these sites are categorized as the World Her-
itage and hold extreme importance for humanity as well as command physical and
cultural significance.
This day, therefore, seeks to spread awareness about the challenges faced by the au-
thorities in preserving the world heritage sites. This present year 2017 has allowed the
communities to come together and celebrate the overwhelming influence of sustainable
tourism and how it can strengthen communities and inform the masses.
Please don’t get surprised when I say that there are about 1,052 world heritage sites.
Out of these, 814 fall under the cultural category, 203 are considered natural and 35 are
a mix of both. Nearly 55 sites are under constant threat, including the Jesus birthplace,
Church of the Nativity and Pilgrimage Route in Bethlehem.
There is ICOMOS, i.e. the International Council for Monuments and Sites which sug-
gests a number of ideas about how to celebrate this day of great global importance:
Encourage a visit to sites and monuments as well as allow restoration works may be
with free admission.
Publish articles in magazines and newspapers as well as send out a message on radio
and television.
Hang banners around chief traffic artery or town squares inviting attention of people
to this day and encouraging preservation of our cultural heritage.
Inviting national as well as international personalities, including the experts for inter-
views and conferences.
Organize discussions in city halls, cultural centers and various other public spaces.
Encourage publication of post-cards, posters, stamps and most importantly books.
Exhibitions through paintings, photos, etc.
Giving away prizes to people and organizations that have exceptionally contributed to-
wards the promotion as well as conservation of our cultural heritage as well as have
come up with an outstanding publication on this subject.
Encouraging such activities that raise awareness amongst the school going children as
well as youth.
Reintroduce a recently refurbished monument.
Thus, in many ways we can help preserve our cultural possessions and raise awareness
amongst the people on a global platform.
Thank You!

 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY SPEECH 1

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal Sir, Sir, Madam and my dear friends. My
name is … I study in class … Today, we are here to celebrate a most important day, world
environment day. I will recite a speech on the history of world environment day and its
necessity to be established. I have especially selected this topic because of much impor-
tance of it for our better future.
World environment day is a day especially celebrated to know and solve all the envi-
ronmental issues. It is also known as the Environment Day, Eco Day or WED. It is a great
annual event focusing on the issues of environment and trying to solve them completely.
It is being celebrated for years worldwide with lots of creative activities and enthusiasm
to bring positive changes in the environment. It aims to protect the natural environment
forever on the earth for the healthy possibility of life.
It is celebrated annually on 5th of June since 1973 however declared in 1972 by the
United Nations General Assembly during the opening of conference on Human Environ-
ment to raise the global awareness about declining condition of the environment as well
as tell people about the importance of healthy and green environment on earth. The an-
nual celebration of it depends on the particular theme of the year (declared by the UN)
which focuses on implementing some new and effective plans to save the environment.
My dear friends, this event is celebrated globally in more than 100 countries because
this issue cannot be solved individually by one country. It is a global issue and needs to
be solved globally by the involvement of all the countries worldwide. It is run by the
United Nations Environment Programme whereas its annual celebration is organized by
the different host city every year declared by the United Nations. The host city of this
campaign in 2016 was Angola. First time it was celebrated in 1973 with the theme of
“Only one Earth”.
It aims to engage and draw attention of millions of people including political and
health organizations from different countries across the world to make new plans and im-
plement them accordingly. It is very necessary to address the issues like wastage and
losses of food, increasing global warming, deforestation, pollution, industrialization, etc
in order to control the negative environmental changes. Its celebration focuses on carbon
neutrality, forest management, managing greenhouse effect, promoting bio-fuels produc-
tion, use of hydro-power to produce electricity, encouraging people to use solar water
heaters, use of solar system, pro-
moting coral reefs and mangroves
restoration and other effectives of
environmental preservation.
Healthy Environment, Happy Fu-
ture!

 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY SPEECH 2

Good morning to the Excellencies, Principal Sir, Sir,

Madam and my dear friends. My name is … I study in
class … First of all I would like to say a big thank to my
class teacher for allowing me to speech at this great oppor-
tunity. My dear friends, we have gathered here to cele-
brate a most important day called as world environment
day. I will recite a speech on the importance of celebrat-
ing world environment day. I have also men-
tioned the point of what we are losing day by
day with the declining condition of our en-
vironment. Yes friends, it is necessary to be
discussed among us so that we can know
about world environment day and other
points related to it.
My dear friends, UN had established a
special day named as ‘World Environment
Day’ in 1972 to save worldwide environ-
ment for our better future on the earth. In
the happiness of worldwide technological development, we
have forgotten that we are losing something too. Such developments have given happi-
ness to us however on the other hand; it has snatched many natural heritages from us.
My dear friends, do you know that our many favorite foods have been predicted to go ex-
tinct just because of our mistakes have been done for years in the form of developments
like high use of electricity, deforestation, industrialization, direct sewage outing to the big
river canals, invention of polythenes, etc harmful inventions. Such inventions have given
rise to the global warming, pollution, rise of sea level, etc and declining the healthy con-
dition of environment.
World Environment Day is a great annual event celebrated globally on 5th of June to
understand our mistakes and act positively to neutralize the bad effects of those mis-
takes. It has been established to act actively on its various objectives. It was first cele-
brated in 1973 by the United Nations General Assembly and United Nations Environment
Programme to address various environmental issues like global warming, food shortages,
deforestation, etc. According to the scientists, in the near future more than two-thirds of
flora and fauna will be extinct because of human-induced environmental changes. Our
future generations will have no access to the foods like honey, coffee, king corn, choco-
late and sea food because of huge changes in the climate and environment.
We like honey a lot and want to add one spoon of it to our daily diet especially morn-
ing smoothie. Soon, it will be called as liquid gold and we will get it at jewelers shop be-
cause 2 out of 5 honeybees are on the way to extinction due to the high level use of
insecticides and pesticides in farming as well as increasing temperature and changing

PESANTREN

 weather conditions. Such herbicides are toxic to the bees and other pollinators. Decline
in the population of bees will also affect the food supply as they responsible to pollinate
around 250,000 species of plants and 90 food crops.
Ever increasing rate of climate changes is snatching the chocolate from us. The main
cause of difficulty in producing cocoa is continuous rising temperature and change in
weather patterns. High temperature causes evapotranspiration from the cocoa trees
means lack of water from the trees which ultimately lowers cocoa production. Its produc-
tion will diminish more by 2030.
High temperature, extremely changing weather conditions and depleting water supply
are causing rust and fungus which inhibiting the production of coffee. The production of
seafood is also in danger and decreasing due to the global warming. Numbers of water-
species, fishes including planktons are on the way to extinct. King corn is also saying us
bye-bye because of the huge climatic changes and global warming. Deforestation at
large-scale is pushing many plant species like palm oil, etc towards extinction.
Dear friends, we need to do something effective in order to reduce the rate of climate
change as well as save many natural resources for better life on the earth in future. 3R
techniques (reduce, reuse and recycle) can be very effective in lessening the impact of
our bad activities over natural ecosystem. We should start from small but effective steps
like switch to organic food from inorganic food, use of natural fertilizers over chemical
fertilizers, reduce use of electricity, reuse things, recycle wates, stop deforestation, save
wild animals, etc to reduce the rate climate changes. Our positive steps will really help in
solving environmental issues in near future.
Healthy Environment, Healthy Future!

 WORLD HEALTH DAY SPEECH – 1

Good morning respected principal, teachers and my dear friends,

I am obliged that my class teacher has selected me to address you all for today’s as-
sembly. On this world health day, my agenda is to create awareness amongst you all
about this day.
This day is specifically celebrated to grab attention on the subject towards importance
of the global health. This day is marked by the World Health Organization. Each year the
agenda of celebrating this day is based on different criteria. Different varieties of events
related to such particular themes are organized on the international and national level by
the WHO. Emphasise of such special issues are taken care of annually with deep dedica-
tion. This day is celebrated each year to create awareness about the health issues and
health concerns amongst the entire population.
We all should focus on adhering to good and healthy lifestyle. We should follow and
promote healthy living style and healthy living habits. As compared to the past trends
and decades the immunity level today has decreased a lot, this is majorly due to the nat-
ural climatic changes and the inherited not so healthy lifestyle of ours. For our safety and
well being we all should monitor our activities like eating, sleeping, etc and ensure that
we follow the standard desired healthy living habits throughout. We should work on cre-
ating awareness amongst others as well and must ensure to have a clean and healthy sur-
rounding around for our well being and the well being of others.
The basic objective and agenda behind celebration of world health day is to increase
the public awareness of various causes, to provide detailed knowledge of getting pre-
vented from various diseases, to motivate the worldwide health authorities to make their
own efforts in creating the healthy environments in their country and many more.
Though, health is such a area that is to be taken care now and then and is not specifically
dedicated to be addressed on one single day annually; but still many people out there
deal with their health as not one on their priority list.
Two most common and easy modes of our health deterioration are our eating habits
and the natural air or the surroundings that we inherit each second in us. Being healthy is
not our goal it should be our living.
The most effective way of maintaining our health is hav-
ing a regular habit of exercising. Exercise
helps an individual to build themselves
strong within with natural inherited
things. A few basic things that help
us in ensuring good health are:
healthy eating habits, proper
timely sleep, regular routine for ex-
ercise, ample drinking of water, safe
urinary habits, daily washing habits, etc.
Please ensure to monitor each of your habit and
create awareness amongst others as well. Thank
you everyone for being my audience and I hope
we all together will eventually enable the world
be more aware and cautious about their healthy
habits and wellbeing.
Thank you everyone!

 WORLD HEALTH DAY SPEECH – 2

Greetings of the day everyone. Our organization has specially organized this health
checkup campaign today. Before we all get busy with campaign, let me talk to you all
about the reason behind arranging this.
Today this campaign is being arranged on the occasion of the World Health Day. This day
just like today is always celebrated on 7th April. World Health Organization has necessar-
ily declared this day as the World Health Day so as to make sure that people get to be
aware about the health issues and concerns. We as individuals owe this responsibility to
ourselves to ensure that we live a healthy life by adopting healthy lifestyle and healthy
habits.
People nowadays don’t take their health and the related issues too seriously as they
know how easy it is to visit a doctor and take one dose of medicine and get back to the
perfect health. They should realise that this medication deep down deteriorates our level
of immunity and makes it more prone to such diseases. Natural health and wellbeing is a
very crucial thing to be maintained throughout.
With the changing trends, corporates have specifically established their NGOs and corpo-
rate associations so as to address one of the major issues of health that exists in the soci-
ety at present. There is no age bar on whose health is more at the stake of being
impacted by natural and personal deeds. Children, senior citizens, students, women,
men, etc everybody has this concern at stake for themselves. We all should ensure the
adoption of best healthy habits for ourselves and our near and dear ones.
A healthy diet and regular exercise routine is the best combination that one can adhere
to for leading a healthy and well versed life. Proper nutritional habits of eating should be
adopted since childhood for children so that since starting they have a strong immune
system for being future life.
World Health Day dedicatedly provides us all with an opportunity to come together for
one day every year to focus on actions that can improve the health of all our people and
side by side address all the key concerns of the health taking the verge of majority of
people at present.
We all should make it our habit to everyday, think about the habits that we opted for that
day; from how much water we drank to did we exercise to the urinary habit that we
adopted, etc. It is only in our hands to make our life healthy and have a great immune
system.
To all those who at present consume medicines for high blood pressure or any other dis-
ease should focus on how to get rid of them through natural work and natural deeds for
healthy life.
Now let’s get started and see our improvement areas and focus on how can be better our
health and lead a well versed healthy life for ourselves and our near and dear ones.
Healthy lifestyle and healthy surrounding is the key aspect of World Health Day.

 HUMAN RIGHTS DAY SPEECH – 1

Good morning everyone. Thank you for taking out time and being present at this seminar
session. We all are gathered here to talk about this special day of human rights.
This day is celebrated as a token to all those who stood up for someone’s rights. Human
rights means the rights which every human being owns. Though, till date after years of
defining these rights also a few people are not utilizing them and a few people are all set
to violate them. It is high time for people to actually stand for their rights. We all have
been given right to vote, right to speech, right to education, right to earn and many
more. These rights have been allotted to human beings after many debates and issues. It
is our responsibility and right to avail each of the right introduced for us.
There are many human rights specifically announced for the special classes of humans
like people with disability, SC ST, etc. We all should support these people to witness their
rights so that they can avail benefits from them. At present, there are about 30, yes; 30
human rights declared. These rights are very determined and to the point for the welfare
of the humans. A few of the top rights that I would name here are: Right to equality,
Freedom from discrimination, Right to education, Right to social security, Freedom from
belief and religion, etc.
The things that we scream for our social security, education of poor and many more are
already addressed by the council and have been declared as a human right for every-
body. It is our responsibility to withstand these and create awareness amongst all for ad-
hering and availing these rights for their good and well-being. Each of these rights were
declared in year 1948 by the United Nations for the global understanding of how to treat
individuals.
10th December every year is celebrated as the Human Rights Day. This day is acknowl-
edged as the worldwide declaration of human rights and ensure its continued existence
and remembrance as a common standard for all nations. I am very sure that just like me
there are many people who are not aware about these human rights. Many might not
even know there exists something like this and many might be aware but don’t know
how important these are and how to deal with these.
My focus about these rights would be to educate the people especially kids about human
rights and how it’s our responsibility to learn and exercise them and spread the word.
These rights should necessarily be a part of their curriculum so that they while growing
up know what their rights are as per their existence and how important is it for them to
work on these.
I would request you all to please create awareness about our human rights amongst all
and ensure that on this day we can arrange a seminar slot or a special session for recall-
ing these for our existence rights every year. Thank you for being a part and encouraging
me to effectively and efficiently address this topic.
Thank you!

 HUMAN RIGHTS DAY SPEECH – 2
Good Morning Friends!
Thank You for taking out time and joining me at this meeting today. I wanted to share
an important invitation that has come from the Local Government to our Organisation.
We have been invited to support the government and join the ‘Clean Indonesia Mission’.
The campaign is run all over the town and will be launched on December 10 which is also
the Human Rights Day. The campaign has been run for past one year with little or no
progress in the town. Thus, we have been invited to get involved and help in fulfilling the
mission by obtaining better results.
Human Rights Day is the best day for its launch as the day is basically celebrated for
honoring the rights of people. It calls on everybody to stand up for self and other’s rights.
Likewise, living in clean environment and surrounding is everyone’s right and it is impor-
tant for staying healthy too. Disrespect and Insolence for basic human rights continues to
exist in almost every part of our country. People litter without any value and care for oth-
ers. I have myself seen most of the educated people, especially in parks and gardens lit-
ter carelessly despite the availability of dustbins, etc.
I strongly feel that we must restate our common humanity; noble deed doesn’t always
need financial or physical support. In fact, wherever we are, we can make a difference.
On the street, in our neighborhood, at parks, schools, work, in public transport, etc. It’s
time for each one of us to take a stand for our and other’s rights and together we can
certainly make a difference. A small step can make a big difference. We will go to every
school and college to share thoughts on cleanliness. We will also get hoardings and ban-
ners printed and hanged at the streets, parks, etc. to make people aware about the bene-
fits of keeping the surrounding clean.
Not necessarily our gesture has to be grand; a simple step such as understanding the
difference between wet and dry litter and throwing those accordingly in the correct dust-
bin would save so many lives. It’s important to make people understand that litters not
only pollute the environment, but it also spreads several diseases such as Dengue,
Malaria, and Chikungunya.
It’s a grand mission and I have already given my confirmation to the
government about joining it; I am looking for volunteers who can
support me throughout. I would like to make you aware that this is
going to be a charity work, thus you won’t get any payment apart
from off-course appreciation and recognition. Also, I’ll be requiring your
presence on Saturdays and Sundays when the office is closed. This may
sound too much to ask for, but it’s going to last for 3 months, so
your cooperation is highly solicited. There is no pressure on you
guys at all, though it’s absolutely a voluntary deed. We have plans
to begin this work next week; interested people may send me a
mail directly. Agenda will be prepared and shared soon. You may
also write to me, if you want more information in this regard.
Thank You!

 HUMAN RIGHTS DAY SPEECH – 3

Good evening my dear friends, I welcome you all to this special seminar organized on
the Human Rights Day!
How often do we all say that women are treated differently from men, how unsafe
women are in the society, majority of the population is uneducated, there should exist no
white people and black people difference, etc. etc. What all does this mean?
This means that we all humans want men and women to be treated equally, we want
social security for women and all others, we want everybody to be educated and we
want to discrimination. We all want to make this happen. Just like these mentioned be-
fore and many more are the rights that we wish for.
These human rights have been laid down after many efforts and discussions for human
beings to satisfy their basic needs. Human rights are those rights which are necessary for
a dignified and a decent living of humans as well as human existence and adequate de-
velopment of human personality. Human rights are essential for the development of the
human personality in society, where he lives.
Out of the entire audience present here, I am pretty sure that a few of them might not
be completely aware about the 30 human rights universally announced by the United
Nations in the year 1948. In order to safeguard the humans and their well being, 30 spe-
cific human rights were announced. 10th December is officially celebrated as the day of
human rights.
Every human right should be utilized and be adhered to. We all owe the responsibility
to spread the message of these rights amongst all the people.
Among all the rights, for me the most crucial is the Right to Education one. For me it is
the birthright of everyone to get the education. There are numerous benefits of getting
the education. The one who is educated has the power of changing their own lives and
the lives of others as well. Right of education is the one that has the foremost impor-
tance. We all should be well aware of each of these rights, many efforts have been put in
decades before to list down and propose these rights. At present there exists a crucial
step of protection of these human rights.
We all should understand that the human rights are those rights that are fundamental
for the living of human beings and for the normal human existence. For every country’s
government and citizens it is very very important to protect and maintain the human
rights. It is their fundamental duty. We all should avail our rights and should dedicatedly
work for creating the awareness amongst the population about these rights. Each of the
30 listed human rights are necessary for our well being and existence in the society. I re-
quest you all to please share the message with your near and dear ones to spread the ex-
istence of these rights.
Thank you!

 CLEANLINESS SPEECH – 1

Good morning to the sir, madam and my friends. My name is … I study in class … Today,
I will recite a speech on cleanliness. I have especially selected this topic because of much
importance of it in our daily lives. Actually, the means of cleanliness is the complete ab-
sence of dirt, dust, stains, and bad smells at home, working places or surrounding areas.
The most important purpose of maintaining cleanliness is to get health, beauty, remove
offensive odor as well as avoid the spread of dirt and contaminants. We clean our teeth,
clothes, body, hair on daily basis in order to get freshness and achieving cleanliness.
Cleanliness
We use variety of products and water to clean different things accordingly. What we
see with our eyes is that, cleaning helps us to remove dirt and bad odor. However, what
we do not see with our eyes is that, cleaning also removes harmful microorganisms (like
bacteria, virus, fungus, algae, etc) from the things. It keeps us healthy and away from va-
riety of diseases especially caused by the harmful microorganisms. According to the germ
theory of disease, cleaning means the total absence of germs. In some industrial
processes, it requires exceptional cleanliness which is achieved especially in the clean
rooms. Presence of dirt and bad odor may decrease the power of our immune system.
Commonly, there are two types of cleanliness, one is physical cleanliness and another
is internal cleanliness. Physical cleanliness keeps us clean from outside and gives us feel-
ing of wellbeing with confidence. However, internal cleanliness keeps us mentally peace-
ful and away from anxiety. Internal cleanliness means a mind absence of dirty, bad and
negative thinking. Keeping the heart, body and mind clean and peaceful is the complete
cleanliness. However, we also need to keep clean our surround-
ing areas so that we can live in a healthy and clean environ-
ment. It will keep us away from the epidemic diseases and
give us the feeling of social wellbeing.
There is a very old saying that “cleanliness is next
to godliness”. It is well said by the John Wesley.
Cleanliness should be given a priority in all the
homes from the childhood so that a little one can
practice it as a habit and can be benefitted all
through the life. Cleanliness is like a good habit
which not only benefits a person, however; it
benefits the family, society and country and
thus whole planet. It can be developed at any
age however best to practice it from the childhood. I, as
a child requesting to all the parents that please help your
kids to practice this habit as it is you who can give this
country a good citizen.
Thank You!

 CLEANLINESS SPEECH – 2

Good morning to the respected Principal sir, sir, madam and dear colleagues. I … study-
ing in class … standard would like to speech on cleanliness at this event. Cleanliness is a
good habit; it keeps us happy physically, mentally, socially and intellectually. It is very true
that cleanliness begins at home. The sign of cleanliness is a well managed place whether
it is a home, working place, school, college, government or private buildings, hotel,
restaurant, airport, railways station, etc. The level of cleanliness should be high which is
possible if everyone shows his/her effort. It is not the act of one person. It needs regular
support and proper understanding from the end of each person.
Cleanliness attracts positive energies towards it and it can impress anyone. Cleanliness
level becomes generally high in the developed countries because of the good citizens,
strict government rules, high education level and proper understanding of the people. A
person with good habits can change the environment of a home however a country with
good citizens can change its future as well as the environment of whole planet. In order
to show our real potential all through the world, we have to maintain cleanliness all
across the country. It is the only thing which can earn respect because a big land, power,
and rich natural resources does not matter in the lack of cleanliness.
The maintenance of cleanliness in any country depends on the education level,
poverty, and population of the country. The most important factor is education as good
education can reduce the poverty level and provide relief from the over population. If the
citizens of the country will be educated they can well maintain the cleanliness all through
the country. They can pass good habits to their next generation also. Number of cleanli-
ness drives has been run by the government of Indonesia however never get much suc-
cess because of high level illiteracy. The most recent cleanliness drive named as Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan run the Indonesian PM, Narendra Modi, is quite successful.
It is very serious topic and we have to maintain cleanliness in our country, which can
be better started from our homes, if we really want development in Indonesia. We have
to understand that our country is our home and then no problem will be there. As being
the citizen of the country, we all are responsible for cleaning any dirty place we see. We
should keep our roads, tourist places, historical places, schools, colleges, office buildings,
etc very neat and clean.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON UNITY IN DIVERSITY – 1

Hon’ble Vice President, Respected Principal, Respected Professors and Administration

staff members and my dear fellow students,
Today is the Republic Day, the most important day for every Indonesian; the day when
the Constitution of Independent Indonesia was formed. Like every year, our college cele-
brates this significant day with much enthusiasm and vigour. It’s a great honour for me to
welcome you all and speak a few lines on this special occasion.
Since the time of Independence, Indonesia has witnessed a lot of changes at the politi-
cal, social and cultural front. But one thing that remains intact is its’ ‘Unity in Diversity’.
We all know, Unity is the most influential factor in solving the cultural and social prob-
lems. It infuses respect amongst people irrespective of their religious and cultural differ-
ences. Indonesia is famous for having multi-cultural system and yet people live together
with peace and harmony.
Indonesia is a colourful country, inhabited by people who believe in different religions,
follow different tradition, culture and have their individual belief and lifestyle; yet they
come together to celebrate festivals of each other. Indonesia has the oldest civilization
and culture and some of which still being practised today. Though there is no dearth of
diverse and assorted cultures in Indonesia, it is still an epitome of the famous Slogan
‘Unity in Diversity’.
Our present Indonesian civilization is sustained and nurtured by the multi-ethnicities
of different states. We all are aware that diverse races such as Sudanese, Javanese,
Papua, Sumatra, etc.
Indonesia is a huge and populous country. It has 29 states with 22 official spoken lan-
guages, but in reality there are more than 150 different mother tongues spoken in differ-
ent parts of the country. This is certainly amazing because despite so many differences,
Indonesia still stands firm as a strong nation. People here are emotional and that’s the
most popular language they understand which keep them united in all aspects. Not only
language, but Indonesians vary from each other in food habit, attire, social and cultural
behaviour, ethnicity, festivals and religious beliefs.
The political condition is stable in Indonesia and it allows multinational companies to
start their venture, which opens up employment opportunities for the Indonesians. Peo-
ple in Indonesia are soft spoken and caring irrespective of the part they belong to.
Not to forget, there are some anti-social elements who try to corrupt the country by
their behaviour and activities, yet Indonesia remains united. It is the force of our mother-
land, which give us so much of strength and tolerance to accept the adversity and pro-
mote ‘Unity in Diversity’.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON UNITY IN DIVERSITY – 2
Hello All, Good Evening!
Thanks for coming here and being a part of this discussion. It feels an honour to see
you all from different fields gathered here. Today’s discussion is on one of the most rele-
vant topics ‘Unity in Diversity’ that is ‘Bineka Tunggal Ika,’ that is synonymous with In-
donesia.
Today, I would like to share my view on what exactly this term ‘Unity in Diversity’
means. Doesn’t it feel strange when we hear the word Unity – which means being one
and Diversity – which means differences, together in one phrase. Yes, it does feel! It
makes us wonder how it is feasible that there is a common factor to seemingly heteroge-
neous things.
It is completely true that Unity in Diversity means the integration of differences; it
means the oneness or togetherness in spite of the presence of diverse or different con-
cepts. In the simplest way if I say, it means collating multiple types of things as one.
The best example of explaining Unity in Diversity is talking about the country ‘Indone-
sia’. Just one word Indonesia, and massive number of things quickly come to our mind.
Isn’t it? Yes, indeed! Different castes, different cultures, different religion, different lan-
guages, different customs, different foods and what not! Clubbing of these varied or di-
verse things in one umbrella is the assimilation of differences and suits so well as an
example of: Unity in Diversity.
Binding people of all religions in the bond of humanity is one of the greatest character-
istics of Indonesia that fits the best as a point of clubbing the differences together at one
angle. Visit any office, any school any market or any institution in Indonesia and you see
the bundle of traditions or castes sitting and working right next to each other, in a spirit
of wholeness.
Each diverse bits and pieces united in one bundle – Indonesia. This diverse spiral in In-
donesia leads to it being one of the most famous tourist spot and attracts continuous
flow of travellers throughout the year.
Hence if I conclude on my example of Indonesia, it’s true that it satisfies on the best
parameters of being the country amongst all that is the most integrated, united and a
perfect mix of different cultural and traditional flavours. It, indeed, is one of the countries
in which people live with peace and harmony despite having multi-cultural systems.
Okay, give it a thought, if you ask a small kid, he will also agree that seeing a single
colour on a sheet does not look that attractive in front of that other
sheet which has a mix of two or more colours. Similarly, any
place that has a combination or a blend of widely spread cul-
tures or traditions seems to be more of an attraction worldwide
in comparison to others.
Friends, it is very heartening to see Unity in Diversity
around us. Hope you found this discussion use-
ful!
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON UNITY IS STRENGTH 1
Good Morning to all my dear Students!
As I keep hearing stories of discord and clashes amongst the students of my class from
other teachers, it becomes really embarrassing for me. There-
fore, as your class teacher it becomes my responsibility to
prevent you from doing so. The reason why I have taken this
extra period of yours is to groom you on the practical front
and teach you besides your school syllabus. Though ini-
tially I was very furious and thought to call the parents of
each one of you and give everyone a tight thrashing,
but later on I realized that these rising cases
may be due to the negligence on my part and
inability to devote enough time on you other
than your studies.
So today I am here to deliver a speech on Unity is Strength. I am sure you all under-
stand the importance of unity as you have become quite mature now. Don’t you? And, if
you do then you should also understand that these fights and clashes are absolutely
pointless as these only worsen the situation and spoil the beauty of any relationship.
Thirdly, any outsider can take benefit from the fights and clashes taking place between
two individuals. Haven’t you heard the story of an old farmer who had three sons?
It goes like this – there was an old farmer who was on the verge of death. He had three
sons who used to quarrel a lot amongst themselves. One day he called all his sons and
gave a stick to each one of them to break, every son managed to break the stick. Then,
he gave a bundle of sticks to his eldest son and asked him to break it. He couldn’t do it
and likewise the farmer gave the bundle to his remaining sons who also failed to break it.
Then he told his sons, ‘just like, anyone can easily break a single stick, it is also easy to
destroy a single individual. So if you choose to live separately after my death, anyone
would take advantage of your situation and harm you. But if you all choose to live to-
gether quite like this bundle of sticks, then none of your enemy will be able to harm you.
After hearing this, all his sons promised to live together for the rest of their lives’. So the
moral of the story is Unity is Strength.
This situation applies to you as well. If all my students will live in unity, then none
would be able to point a finger on my class and take advantage of the situation. In fact,
you all should live in harmony and if any situation of conflict arises try to resolve it peace-
fully. No fight can be big enough which cannot be resolved through discussions. Discus-
sions prove really helpful because then you tend to find a solution to avoid such
problems again and life becomes peaceful for everyone. Always remember that never be-
come a laughing stock for others and always try to pacify the situation with non-violent
means.
Now, I sincerely hope that each one of you would take my words seriously and try to
implement it on your life as well.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON UNITY IS STRENGTH 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Fellow Students – Good
Morning to one and all!
I, Budiman Santoso, student of Class-XI, have prepared a speech on “Unity is Strength”,
which I would like to deliver today in front of you all. You must be wondering about the
occasion behind this speech ceremony of today, but let me clear your doubts first. There
is no occasion as such, but considering the increasing cases of violence and terrorism in
our state and country at large, I had a great desire to address the subject called Unity is
Strength and engage my fellow students in discussion. Moreover, we also come across
many violent cases of dissension all around us and realizing that people these days are
becoming really short-tempered and are losing out on ethical and moral values, it’s high
time that we sit down and realize which direction we are heading towards.
Our country India is known to be a multicultural land where people from different reli-
gious, cultural and social background live in harmony. However, the irony of the situation
is such that our very own country is replete with the rising incidents of communal vio-
lence, strife, terrorist activities, etc.
Every day in news we come across horrifying incidents of violent behavior, bloodbath
where so many innocent people lose their lives. It’s high time we remind ourselves of the
age-old maxim called Unity is Strength and stop unleashing violence on our motherland.
After all, do we not know that “United we stand, divided we fall”?
Our country would never emerge as a stronger and developed nation unless its sad
state of affairs get better and people understand that violence never solves any problem,
but aggravates it. Besides, man is a social animal and cannot live in isolation. He/she
would require the company of others to validate his/her existence. One man cannot do
everything. He/she cannot handle multiple things at a time and so other work will have
to be undertaken by him in support of others. For instance, if a teacher teaches students,
then who would sow crops and feed people, who would stitch clothes, who would look
after patients, who would protect our country’s borders, etc.
So it certainly calls for unity and team-work. It is not possible for a person to live with-
out taking the help of other people. Hence, everyone must work in harmony and also
give support as well as encouragement to each other. If people will continue to remain
rigid and uncooperative, then the foundation of our society would crumble down and
our nation will never be able to project itself as a strong nation at par with the powerful
countries of the world. Unity is what gives power to each and every individual and helps
in building a powerful nation; on the contrary situation of discord eats away a country’s
well-being and makes it regressive.
Let’s sensitize ourselves on this serious issue and pledge to free our motherland from
violent and barbaric acts of behavior.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON DRUG ABUSE 1

Dear Students – Warm Greetings to all of you! I welcome everyone to the school semi-
nar hall.
Today, we are here to discuss about the fatal consumption of drugs and how it is de-
stroying the lives of our youth. But before the discussion begins, I would like to deliver a
short speech on drug abuse and would like to enlighten our students on this sensitive
subject matter.
Drugs, as we all know, are an illegal matter which some people drink, smoke, inject or
eat for the mental as well as physical effects that it leaves. There are several students
who consume drugs out of fun or for various other reasons. People who deal in the sell-
ing of drugs create a network and mainly target students in order to make them addicted
to drugs. Initially, the drugs are sold to the students for free and gradually when they get
addicted to it, they start buying and consuming it. In fact, the students also eventually
become a part of their network and start dealing in it.
It is observed that students start consuming drugs out of stress or unfair expectations
of their teachers as well as parents. Lack of emotional support and disorder in their fami-
lies make them vulnerable and increase their dependency on drugs. They use it in order
to calm down their state of mental agitation. Other than this, it is poverty that compels
some students to become a part of the selling and dealing network of drugs and derive
their pocket money. Therefore, it becomes like a vicious circle of the drug addicted stu-
dents from which they seem to find no escape unless the society comes for their rescue.
Sadly, the students fail to realize that the consumption of drugs has a severe impact on
their physical and mental health, such as they start experiencing mental disorder, their
intelligence level decreases, experience deadly diseases and untimely death. When one
completely succumbs to the temptation of drugs, it gets very difficult for him/her to re-
cover from its impact except in the centers for drug rehabilitation where they gain a new
life, but which involves a high cost. In fact, there are many cases too where even rehabili-
tation centers fail because of the worst condition of the patients.
I, therefore, request all the students to refrain themselves completely from the con-
sumption of drugs before it destroys their health, future and takes away their lives. Don’t
even try to touch or come close to them. Drugs can even destroy a complete generation.
So think wise and act smart. Shape your future which seems bright and full of achieve-
ments. The drugs that doctor prescribes to his/her patients must only be taken in order
to combat a specific disease otherwise the government must take strict measures to ban
its illegal trade in the market and save our youth from destruction.
I want to conclude by saying that drug abuse should be an absolute ‘No’ for all and I
sincerely hope that our students will never ever try to consume drugs and will com-
pletely stay away from its use. Remember that our country needs you as you are its fu-
ture and harbinger of progress.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON DRUG ABUSE 2

Good Morning Friends – Welcome to the campaign for drug addiction ban.
It feels extremely great to see how the members of our organization are working hard
in order to make every day count and reach out to the masses for spreading awareness
about the drug addiction or drug abuse. Since day one and today it’s the 77th campaign
of our organization – we haven’t really ever thought that we will grow this big, i.e. cur-
rently we have more than 200 people working for us and have gained a mass appeal. The
response so far has been really good and we have been able to transform the life of the
people for good, who earlier have been living under the influence of drugs.
So today I would further like to appeal to the masses to refrain themselves from using
drugs and live a healthy life. Drug addiction or drug abuse is described as an excessive
dependency on a substance, which inevitably becomes the compulsive need of the per-
son using it. This need becomes so compulsive that without that substance the person
cannot live his life like a normal person does. And, when such a substance is stopped
being available in the market then that person is believed to be suffering from substance
withdrawal.
The addiction of drugs has become one of the serious social problems in many devel-
oping as well as developed countries and it undeniably proves to be the principal ob-
struction in the all-round development of the people, society, country and the world at a
large. Our country is a progressing country and it is already afflicted with so many other
grave problems, such as unemployment, poverty and illiteracy that the problem of drug
abuse makes the situation even worse here as it further makes our economy regressive
by destroying the lives of its youth.
Even sadder is the fact that several drug addicts cannot afford to make a purchase of
expensive drugs so much so that in the end they have to resort to such activities as theft
in their homes. These people are not born thieves, but their addiction to drugs makes
them heinous and propels them to commit crimes in order to feed their body with drugs.
People can become addicted to drugs because of various reasons, some of which are
mentioned below:
In order to de-stress themselves
When a person is under the influence of drugs, he/she forgets everything and enters
into a trance-like state. However, it is only later that people realize that the use of drugs
is only aggravating the problem and not really helping them in getting rid of the stress.
Out of peer pressure
Many times, people start taking drugs because their friends are addicted to them.
However, once they start taking it, it becomes really difficult for them to get rid of this
habit.
Style Statement
Many teenagers these days think that the habit of drinking, smoking and even drug ad-
diction is what helps them look cool and create a style statement in the front of others.
However, it’s only when these people get trapped in its vicious circle that they realize the
irreparable they have caused to their lives.
Teenagers and every person for that matter must understand that the habit of drug
abuse not only greatly affects their body and mind, but also finishes their bright future.
So we should strictly say ‘No’ to drugs and save our lives as well the lives of our loved
ones by spreading awareness in our surroundings.
Thank You!

 SAVE WATER SPEECH 1

Good morning to the excellencies, respected teachers and my dear colleagues. I would
like to speech on a very important topic “save water” today at this special occasion. As
well all know that how the water is important for the continuation of life on the earth. It
is the most basic need of everyone (human being, animal, plant and other microorgan-
isms). Water is the unique source of life, without water we cannot imagine the life here.
Life on other planets is not possible just because of the absence of water. It is considered
as the most important among other known celestial bodies. Almost three-fourth area of
the earth is covered by the water and it constitutes around 60-70 % of the living world. It
seems that water is endless renewable source on the earth because it is regenerated and
redistributed all over the earth through evaporation and rain. It arises a question in our
mind that if water is renewable source then why we should worry for water and try to
conserve it.
Save Water
Actually, there is only 1% of the water on the earth which is usable to us. And other
water bodies have unusable water to us such as 97% salty sea water, 2% water in the
form of glaciers and polar ice caps. Only 1% water is here for us over which a huge popu-
lation all over the world is depended for the survival. Death is more possible in the lack
of water than the lack of food. It again arises a question in our mind that why we are so
late in realizing the need of water saving and conservation. Since the life of each and
every living things on the earth depends on water, then scenario will get worse if useful
water become dirty or started reducing. A water looking fresh and drinkable from out-
side can be mixed with the harmful and toxic ele-
ments through various sources like industries,
factories, sewer, etc and cause illness and death
if ingested by animals, plants or human beings.
Here are some tips which really will help us to save
water:
Parents should aware their children about the need of
water conservation. They should avoid buying recre-
ational water toys (which require constant stream of
water) to their children.
Everyone should be aware of the water
shortage rules and restrictions and strictly fol-
low in their own area.
Every employee should be active for the water
conservation at their own work place and encour-
age their employer to promote water conserva-
tion in other effective ways.
There should be water conservation awareness
and tips for every starter in the orientation

112 PESANTREN

manual and training program at schools, colleges, work place, offices, institutions, etc.
Water conservation techniques should be promoted on every news media such as TV,
newspaper, radio, FM, community newsletters, bulletin boards, banners, etc.
• People should be more active in their area to report (to their owner, local authori-
ties, water management of district) any problems related to water loss through broken
pipes, errant sprinklers, open hydrants, abandoned free-flowing wells, etc.
• Water conservation awareness should be highly developed and promoted especially
in the schools to aware children means future of the nation.
• School students should be assigned to prepare projects on water conservation or
given this topic during any competition like debate, discussion, essay writing or speech
recitation.
• It should be promoted at tourism level so that tourists and visitors can be aware of
and understand the need for water conservation.
• As being educated citizens we should encourage our friends and neighbors to join
the water conscious community.
• Everyone should make a task related to water saving and try to complete by the end
of day strictly.

 SAVE WATER SPEECH 2

A very good morning to the respected teachers, my dear friends and other gathered
people here. As we are here to celebrate this occasion, I would like to speech on the
topic of save water. Now-a-days, lack of useful water in our surrounding areas is the most
serious topic which needs to be working out urgently. Three-fourth of the earth surface is
covered by the water however there is lack of drinking water on the earth (only 1 %). The
level of drinking water on the earth is getting down and dirty because of various indus-
trial sources day by day. It is very serious matter that we are losing the useful water on
the earth. Each human body consists of 75% water which make clear that how the water
is important for us as a prime elements and responsible for life on the earth. Water circu-
lates itself in the universe through the process of evaporation and rain.
A well developed human body contains an average of 42 liters of water however suf-
fers dehydration at a very small loss of 2.7 liters. He/she starts feeling weak, irritable, fa-
tigue, dizziness, nervousness, headaches, etc. We all should improve the habit of water
saving and conservation in our home and outside. Here are some points which can help
us in save water outside the doors:
•We should use water according to the need and requirement and never over-water
our lawn they need watering every 5 to 7 days (summer season), every 10 to 14 days
(winter season) and almost not in the rainy season.
•We should water the lawns especially in the early morning or late evening because
due to the low temperature and low wind speed it can not be lost through evaporation
and totally used by the plants.
•We should not water the streets, driveways or sidewalks, all are wastage of water.
•We should use water-efficient methods of irrigation (micro and drip irrigation, soaker
hoses, etc) while sprinkling over plants or other place.
•If a lawn cut higher, it encourages roots of the plants go deeper and holds more soil
moisture thus require less water from outside.
•We should never fertilizes (or only sometimes according to need) our lawns because
it increases the need of more water.
•Sprinklers or hoses can not be left unattended as they may loss approximately 600
gallons of water in few hours.
•Car washing should be done on the green ground or lawn otherwise prefer commer-
cial car wash as they recycles water.
•We should avoid ornamental water features like fountains in the lawn as show piece.
•There should be filter system in the individual swimming pools.
•Mulching technique also helps plants to retain soil moisture for long time.
•We should try to plant some native and drought resistant plants, grasses, ground cov-
ers and shrubs in the lawns as they do not need more water to survive.
•There should not be any leakage in the water pipes in the home and in case of leak-
age, hose washers can be used between spigots and water hoses.

 UNEMPLOYMENT SPEECH – 1

Respected Managers and Dear Colleagues!

As the increasing threat of recession is looming over our heads, it has become neces-
sary to talk about it at least amongst our fraternity. We all know that our co-employees
are being laid off due to the scarcity of work and the dwindling financial condition of our
organization. It’s a time that needs to be handled with utmost patience and ingenuity.
We never know that one day while walking through the office, any of us may be told by
our manager, “Sorry, but it’s your last day in the office today”. Now you all must have
started contemplating what you will do then, how you will make money and run your
family. So let’s face this situation with dexterity and smartness. However, before we en-
gage in a conversation or discussion, please allow me to deliver a concise speech on un-
employment so that you have an insight into the things and thereafter are able to
evaluate your own circumstances with the situation of the masses. Trust me; it will give
you a lot of encouragement to brave the situation boldly.
There are mainly three forms of unemployment – labor class, who is illiterate, edu-
cated people without being technically qualified and lastly technical people, such as engi-
neers. Let us know about them one by one.
With labor class, the situation is such that they have to constantly look for employ-
ment opportunities as they earn wages on a daily basis; hence they club themselves at a
particular place to be able to obtain regular employment somewhere. In this precarious
situation, sometimes they are able to find employment and sometimes not. But they
have habituated themselves to survive in the latter condition even though it is frustrating
at times for them too when they are unable to meet their basic requirements of food and
clothing. Situation is quite similar for the city laborers also as they manage to get sea-
sonal employment in some big farm or field, which help them to survive.
As the population of literate people is growing day by day, the government is unable to
accommodate them at the workplaces. Already our educated youth is discontented with
the incompetent wages given to them and the threat of unemployment leaves them
even more frustrated. It is quite unfortunate that they are made to meander through the
dark roads. Since they don’t possess any practical experience or technical expertise, they
only end up looking for clerical jobs, which are not enough to accommodate the growing
number of literate people.
Then those who possess technical qualification get even more frustrated because they
are unable to find a good job at par with their academic qualification. Since the number
of people acquiring technical expertise is increasing day by day, therefore even they get
caught in the trap of unemployment. It’s good that more and more people are educating
themselves and are also going for higher educational levels too; but sadly the govern-
ment is proving inefficient to offer them good employment opportunities. Hence, the
growing anger and frustration in our youth has become so evident these days.
But instead of increasing our frustration, we should think of combating this situation,
may be through generating self-employment opportunities and channelizing our energy
in that direction. In this manner, the grave problem of unemployment can be tackled to a
great extent. That’s all I have to say.
Thank You!

 UNEMPLOYMENT SPEECH – 2
Dear Employees!
It’s a rare occasion that I get to interact with all my employees under one roof the way
that I am doing today. There is nothing special in the present day and behind our coming
here; however as a director of the company I realized that there ought to be no commu-
nication gap between me and my employees. Secondly, if there is any concern or issue
with any one of you then please feel free to put it across the table. The management
would certainly try to resolve it or would bring the necessary changes in the organization.
Amidst the growing recession period, I would request everybody to join hands to-
gether and work unanimously towards the betterment of our company. In fact, we
should consider ourselves fortunate that we have a job at hand and good growth
prospects. Look at those who are not fairly employed or are unemployed despite a good
educational background.
Do you know that the count of people, who are without a job, is increasing day by day
in our country? According to experts, this is mainly owing to the economic slowdown as
well as sluggish expansion in business activities that have brought the doom of employ-
ment generation.
Ideally, it’s the government that should expedite its growth measures in order to facili-
tate skill-based training activities so that the gap between demand and supply of work
skills can be filled and necessary qualification can be given. This can also help resolve the
long-term issue of unemployment.
Though there are people who remain unemployed by choice and are not willing to
work, this will not be termed as unemployment. Unemployment is that situation when a
person wishes to work, but is not able to find for himself/herself a qualified job. There is
no doubt that our nation is grappling with this grave issue of unemployment. Unfortu-
nately, many engineers, doctors, graduates or even post graduates are either unem-
ployed or underemployed. Due to rising unemployment, the nation is merely wasting its
human resource or is not able to unleash its benefits entirely.
In India, the rate of unemployment is depicting a growing trend since 2011 when it
was 3.5 percent. Gradually, it increased to 3.6% in the year 2012 and further rose to 3.7%
in the year 2013. Since then, the percentage is never seeing its decline. In fact, it has also
been observed that at every stage of education, particularly at the higher levels, rate of
female unemployment has always surpassed male employment.
The most important step that our government should take is to enforce strict popula-
tion control measures and encourage its people to have small families. Then, some
scrupulous measures should be taken to improve the quality of Indian education system.
Our education system should be more focused on developing skills or providing practical
training rather than confining itself to theoretical knowledge.
Then, new possibilities of employment should be created by setting-up small-scale and
cottage industries. When people will be self-employed, they will not run after for jobs
and would rather be able to employ others in their start-ups.
Now, may I invite the opinions of my employees on this issue of unemployment and
also some concrete suggestions to combat it.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS – 1

Good Morning to our Respectable Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and My Dear Stu-
dents!!
As you all know that our school has joined hands with other schools in the area for
Clean Campaign, it has been considered appropriate to kick start this campaign right
from our own institution where we as students will also get the encouragement to main-
tain cleanliness around us. But before we talk any further on this topic, let’s first under-
stand what cleanliness is all about?
The term ‘cleanliness’ implies absence of dust, dirt, garbage, foul smell, stains, etc. You
must have realized that most Indian places whether it’s a lane, street, railway station,
government office, hospital or a bus stop look unclean and unpleasant to our eyes. In ad-
dition, the littered garbage, defaced walls and overflowing sewage result in the spread of
diseases and clogging of water on the roads, which further aggravate the situation. The
death toll rises as more and more people succumb to the diseases and die in the absence
of proper treatment and care.
So to avoid this crisis, the natives of our country should put efforts towards maintain-
ing cleanliness not only in their homes and working places, but in their surroundings too.
A hygienic and clean environment creates happy souls and a fulfilling life. There is a fa-
mous idiom that says charity begins at home, likewise cleanliness of a city; village or
town should first begin from people’s homes.
In fact, villages have become proactive in order to ensure cleanliness of their environ-
ment and hygiene of people inhabiting those villages. Other than public toilets, personal
toilets too have been constructed in order to avoid defecation at open places. In fact, ef-
fective measures are being taken up for managing dirty water and solid waste. So when
village folks are putting in concerted efforts, why we people living in well-developed
cities should lag behind in this campaign? Please understand that cleanliness is as essen-
tial to human existence as oxygen, water and food. Also, it’s a foundation of discipline
and hallmark of success because if a person can’t keep himself/herself and the immedi-
ate surrounding organized and clean, then how he/she would contribute towards the
success of others. It’s not possible to maintain a healthy relationship with people in the
absence of a clean environment. At least, a minimal level of cleanliness such as taking
shower regularly, washing your hands after using toilet, protecting your feet from dust,
throwing garbage in the dustbin, etc is expected from everyone.
Cleanliness is monumentally important and must be practiced daily. If we will keep
ourselves and our surroundings clean, it will help in nation building exercise too because
it will then encourage more and more foreign tourists to visit our land and appreciate its
beauty, nature and living surroundings. Of course, no one wants to visit a foul land. So
adopt a lifestyle and nurture a surrounding where there is no threat to nature and the liv-
ing beings and everyone can live in a harmonious co-existence.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS – 2

Good Morning my dear Sir, Ma’m and hello to all my friends.

For today’s morning Assembly, I have chosen Cleanliness as my topic. This is a very es-
sential part of one’s routine, surroundings and hygiene.
Cleanliness is not only the physical, it is also the social and mental well being that
helps in maintaining good personality and building a good impression on others. Cleanli-
ness gives rise to good character by keeping body, mind and soul clean and peaceful.
Isn’t it that we all feel stronger and wealthier when we keep ourselves and our sur-
roundings clean. It makes our aura positive and happy. Maintaining cleanliness is the es-
sential part of healthy living because it is the cleanliness only which helps to improve our
personality by keeping clean externally and internally.
Someone has rightly said that cleanliness is the way to godliness. This means that by
maintaining cleanliness and having good thoughts brings people closer or near to the
God. Personal cleanliness is considered as the symbol of purity of body and soul, which is
crucial to get healthy and spiritual connection. Being clean is very essential for getting
good health, positive well being and leading a moral life.
Our teachers are very keen on promoting cleanliness all around. This is because they
are aware that in order to lead a healthy, happy and a peaceful life, we all should practice
clean habits in every aspect of life because unhygienic conditions symbolize evil whereas
cleanliness symbolizes purity.
It is not that difficult to keep ourselves clean or to keep our surroundings clean. We
should do it for ourselves, for our inner peace and wealth. As human beings, it is our re-
sponsibility to promote safe and clean well being. Cleanliness helps us to create a posi-
tive public image, helps us in staying healthy and wealthy.
Maintaining cleanliness safeguards us from diseases and unhealthy social, physical and
mental inner self. It is very simple to include cleanliness in our regular routine and make
it our habit. We should never compromise with cleanliness, it is as necessary as food and
water for us.
I am glad that my parents and teachers have always motivated me and have keenly put
emphasis on maintaining environment clean. They have always demonstrated the impor-
tance of being tidy and clean. Every child should be conveyed the importance of cleanli-
ness. Since childhood, it should be made an inherited value in them. Clean eating habits,
clean clothing, not littering the stuff here and there, cleaning the toilet after their use are
a few basic and very essential cleanliness tactics that one should understand and follow.
Friends, I hope, I have been able to share with you my thoughts on the importance of
cleanliness. Please stay healthy by making yourself and your surroundings clean. Also,
share your bit and make others aware about the benefits of cleanliness.
Thank you teachers and my friends. Thank You!

 SPEECH ON GLOBAL TERRORISM 1

A very good afternoon to the respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends!
As we all know that today we have gathered in this hall to spread awareness among
the future generations regarding terrorism which is one of the major problems faced by
the entire world.
Terrorism is the illegitimate act done by the group of people to create terror among
common people. I cannot explain terrorism in words because it has very deep roots
spread all over the world. This has become a matter of utmost concern which is aggregat-
ing day by day all across the globe. It is one of the ways that are being used by the politi-
cians, business industries and numerous social organizations for achieving and
accomplishing objectives including social, religious, personal and political.
Terrorism has a huge influence on our country’s youth. It’s not only about our country
but the entire world is facing terrorist attacks. Major causes behind this hike in the terror-
ism level are the different religions and ideologies of people living in this world.
Today people are living under the fear of terrorist attacks in the whole world because
this epidemic has spread from groups to countries. To exemplify, Iraq and Iran are the
countries which are fully under the trap of terrorism. People from Islam community es-
pecially, are getting trapped in this mess of violence.
Terrorist usually deploys machine guns and bombs in their attacks and areas like rail-
way stations, airports or concert halls are there main targets of attack. To epitomize, we
can have a look at countless incidents like an attack in Belgium or other attacks on the
Western European locations where many civilians were killed. If we talk about Indonesia,
on 7th, March 2005 Bali was attacked with bombs by the terrorists where more than 100
innocent people died. Such incidents are being spotted all over the world and thousands
of innocent civilians are killed every year.
There are numerous ways to fight terrorism. The foremost thing is, to have an interna-
tional team always on call to respond to such kinds of threats so that there is minimal
loss of human life and property. Apart from this, gun control is another possible solution
to global terrorism. This will eventually limit the weapons retrieved by the terrorists.
Recognition of the terrorist organizations can also help in avoiding any kind of future ter-
rorist attacks.
It is high time that we all should realize that every person has its own perspective,
mindset, beliefs and religion. As long as we have differences in our own world, terrorism
will persist. We need to equal out these differ-
ences first, which will eventually level the rate of
terrorism in the world. By compendium, I would
say that it’s not a problem that only one country
can solve, but we all need to join our hands to
solve this burning global issue.
Thank you!

 SPEECH ON GLOBAL TERRORISM 2

Honorable Chief Guest, Respected President of the College, Respected Professors and
Dear Friends – I, on behalf of the entire college would like to thank you all for taking your
time out and being a part of this important discussion. Like every year, this year too we
have selected the topic, i.e. Global Terrorism, which is a matter of great concern not only
to our nation but for the whole world at large.
Global terrorism is described as the activities involving violence and crime with the in-
tention to promote religious or political ideologies across the world. Global terrorism
mainly consists of violence, threats and intimidation for pressurizing the government, In-
ternational group or community in general.
Global terrorism may occur in various forms such as attacks on foreign land, suicide
bombings, etc. The act of global terrorism accomplished in 2001, popularly known as
9/11 best defines the act of horror and dreadfulness. The World Trade Center in New
York was attacked by the members of some international terrorist groups which took
away many lives as a result. Though such act of terrorism on such a large scale is less
commonly seen, suicide bombers is highly common act of global terrorism that kill many
civilians and creating an atmosphere of fear and panic.
The main purpose of the terrorists is to spread terror and achieve their objective by
creating disharmony and chaos and by killing more and more innocent people. The ter-
rorists would normally select crowded areas so that maximum people get hurt and killed.
Global terrorism results in a large number of deaths along with numerous people getting
injured. Many people suffer the post-traumatic anxiety and stress especially if they have
been the eye witness to such act of terrorism.
When global terrorism occurs, it not only affects the country where it might have oc-
curred, it also affects the neighboring country along with creating economic imbalance
and increase in inflation rate worldwide. While terrorism is the burning issue today, it is
also a matter of discussion as most of the youths today are getting negatively influenced
by the people who spread terrorism for their own benefit. Though the reasons of terror-
ism may vary, the effect is always hazardous such as deaths and bloodshed.
Such act of terrorism and brutality should be avoided also because it doesn’t benefit
anyone in anyway; instead it only creates confusion, death toll and disorder worldwide.
Government must take appropriate actions as more and more youths are getting influ-
enced towards such activities. More aggression and less patience are been observed in
today’s youth. They adopt the path of violence and terrorism and create imbalance and
disharmony locally and on national and international level, if they are not heard or if
their wishes do not get fulfilled.
While efficient military interventions have helped in reducing the effect of terrorism in
some countries; the ever-growing intensity and impact of violent activities in certain
countries have resulted in an increased number of terror induced fatalities.
By taking proper actions and by spreading awareness, the government collectively with
organizations that work for humanity causes, etc can help minimize the anger of disori-

120 PESANTREN

ented youths and stop terrorism.
Stricter defense measures at the border and global understanding and cooperation are
required for preventing the anti-social elements succeeding in their crimes. Though ter-
rorist acts accomplished by individual are irregular and unpredictable, they follow certain
familiar statistical patterns. This can help the government in recognizing the commonali-
ties between terrorist groups, their modus operandi, tactics, pattern and the impact of
counter-terrorism operations.
While this topic is debatable, I would like to rest my speech with the hope that every-
one listening to me, especially the youths would join hands in fighting terrorism and cre-
ating harmony across the world.
Thank You!

 FAMILY PLANNING SPEECH 1
Ladies and Gentlemen – Warm Greetings to you all!
Welcome to the speech ceremony of today, and the topic today is ‘Family Planning’. As
we all know that there is a critical need to understand the significance of family planning
given the exponential rise in our country’s population. It has in fact become a nationwide
concern because the resources for the survival of human beings are scarce in comparison
to the fast growth rate of the population of our country. The increasing population will
not only slow down our country’s progress, but will also retard its economic and social
growth. It is indeed a scary scenario which is quite similar to the situation of a fast ticking
time bomb.
When we became an independent nation, our country’s population was hardly 30
crores, but thereafter within that half-a-century span, the population multiplied to al-
most hundred crores. Given this rate of growth, the population is being predicted to dou-
ble by the end of 2020. Whereas on the one hand, population is growing day after day,
there is a great threat of our natural resources becoming exhausted.
There had already been a raging debate on this issue and now it is high time to put
into practice the small family norm and making it compulsory for every citizen of this
country. The immediate benefit that we all can realize is in the form of a faster growth
rate of our country. Whatever level of progress takes place in our country; it will never be
adequate to meet the demand of our fast increasing population.
Since the benefits of development are reaped by everyone, it would result in the eradi-
cation of unemployment and poverty. This will also have a greater impact on the welfare
of its people who would be able to enjoy a better living standards as well as medical facil-
ities. It is certainly a matter of disgrace that a country like ours having a population of
one hundred crores could not bag single gold medal in the Olympic games held at Sidney.
This throws great light on the physical well being of the people of our country where
needless to say many are plagued by ill health and suffer from malnutrition.
However, this problem is not too big to be resolved. In fact, several European nations,
including China has been able to curb the growth rate of their popula-
tion by strictly implementing the scheme of family planning. The
fruits of their family planning schemes are for the world to see. They
not only enjoy a great living standard, but also give birth to more
champions in the field of both academics and sports.
The danger posed by rising population can be averted
by strictly implementing family planning schemes. How-
ever, this must involve the conscientious efforts of each
and everyone. We are expected to rise above our narrow
religious confines to be able to make such schemes a suc-
cess. Posterity is not going to forgive us, if we do not live up
to this call.
This is all from my side, Thank you!

 FAMILY PLANNING SPEECH 2
Warm Greetings Everyone – Welcome to the family planning and health scheme pro-
gram organized by the state health ministry.
Our state government has decided to undertake many more such programs with a
view to control the ever growing population. The history shows that earlier the couples
had to count on prayers for family planning because there were many couples who didn’t
had any knowledge of birth control techniques and they end up becoming parents of so
many children. Secondly, there were so many couples who couldn’t realize their dream of
achieving parenthood. It was not until 20th century that the only way to prevent giving
birth to children was realized to be a great deal of self control. However, in the present
times multiple family planning options have been discovered.
The term called “family planning“ is generally used in the context of “birth control”.
But there is an important point to note that family planning doesn’t only imply the use of
contraception. Family planning takes into consideration planning the birth of your child
according to the couple’s convenience preferably by putting a considerable amount of
gaps in between births so that both mother and child can be healthy.
Family planning involves sex education, contraceptives and natural techniques of fam-
ily planning. Contraceptives comprise barrier methods, such as condoms, diaphragms
and hormonal birth control. It also involves surgery (vasectomies for men or hysterec-
tomies for women) or intrauterine devices (place inside the vagina of a woman during in-
tercourse). Sex education helps families by educating youth about how the reproductive
system functions, how contraceptives are used, about birth control and truth related to
pregnancy.
The techniques of natural family planning impart women, including their sexual part-
ners how to keep a track of their fertility cycles. Couples can either abstain themselves
from sexual activities or use a protective method during fertile times in order to avoid
conceiving. Learning about the fertility cycle of a woman can also help such couples who
face challenges with preferred beliefs.
The WHO and other local as well as global health organizations are keen to find ways
to increase people’s knowledge about family planning and also encourage others to use
contraception along with other resources to make family planning effective. The organi-
zations are mainly keeping an eye on low-income communities and helping in the devel-
opment of such countries where family planning is not much prevalent. Such
organizations offer low-cost services related to family planning as well as sex education
for uninsured as well as low-income group patients.
Everyone is therefore requested to take a step forward and spread awareness about
family planning schemes, especially amongst the underprivileged and marginalized sec-
tions of society. If our nation cannot keep a check on its rising population then it cannot
grow in all the quarters and we will always be counted in the list of developing nations.
The aim of family planning is that population can be controlled, at the same time em-
powering the couples to achieve parenthood as and when they desire.
With this, I end my speech. Thank you so much!

 EDUCATION SPEECH 1

Good morning to the Excellencies, distinguished guests, my re-

spected teachers, and my dear friends. The topic of my speech is
education. Through my speech, I would let you know all about
the value of education and its contribution in our lives. Ed-
ucation is the tool which helps us in removing our all
doubts and fears about all the challenges and happiness
in our life. It is the tool keeps us happy and peaceful as
well as makes us better socialize human beings. Our
teachers are like God for us who helps us all in get-
ting good quality education from the institutions.
They try their best to make us learn everything
and shape us for the future challenges. Our
teacher comes in our lives, removes all the dark-
ness, removes all the fears, removes all the doubts,
and helps us to find a beautiful career in this big
world.
Education is not about to gain only knowledge,
however it means, learning the ways to be happy,
learning the way to keep others happy, learning
the way to live in society, learning the way to
tackle challenges, learning the way to help others, learn-
ing the way to care older, and learning the way how to behave oth-
ers. My dear friends, education is like a healthy food which nourishes us both internally
and externally. It makes us strong internally and gives lots of confidence by making our
personality and giving us knowledge. Good education is only way to remove bad habits,
poverty, inequality, gender discrimination and so many social issues.
Thank you.

 EDUCATION SPEECH 2

Good morning to my respected teachers and my dear friends. My dear friends, educa-
tion is the tool which removes all the differences among us and makes us capable to go
ahead together. It makes our challenging paths of the life very easy to lead. Getting qual-
ity education is like yoga and meditation as it requires concentration, patience and dedi-
cation. Without education, there is no difference between human beings and animals.
Education is a powerful tool capable to solve all the social, personal and family problems.
It is like a medicine which has capability to treat almost all the diseases. Getting educa-
tion is not only means to get good job, it means to make a good personality, to be
healthy and fit, to maintain hygiene, to be happy all time, to behave well to others, to
tackle all challenges of life and so many.
Education is most important to all of us to lead a happy life. Earlier the education sys-
tem in India was so poor and undisciplined. The kids of rich people were allowed to study
however kids of poor people were not allowed to study in the same school or college.
Poor people were forced to do labour in the fields only, which was the main reason of
discrimination among people in society, inequality, gender inequality, and lots of social is-
sues because of the lack of good education. Low level of education for poor people made
them vulnerable to the economic and political exploitation in their own country. There
has been made adequate provisions for the poor people in the Indian constitution in
order to remove inequality and ensure the empowerment and participation of people of
all levels equally.
The right for proper education is the birth right of everyone, restricting one from get-
ting proper education is the crime. Education helps us to understand between good or
bad, right or wrong and help us in taking decision in the favour of right ones. It helps us
in everything of wide range of problems. We can solve
the mysteries of this universe. Education is like magic
which helps us to learn all the magic to stay happily
on this planet. It keeps us free of all doubts, superstitions
as well as removes away all the social evils affecting the
society. Better educated people can safeguard their fam-
ily and nation in more secure and easy way.

 EDUCATION SPEECH 3

Good morning to my respected teachers and my dear friends. Today, at this great occa-
sion, I would like to speech about the education and its values in our lives. Education
means a lot to us, without education we are nothing. We get motivated towards the edu-
cation from our childhood by our parents and from teachers when we start going to
school. If one is getting proper education from childhood, doing a best investment of
his/her life. Education is not only means to read, write or learn, it is the way to live posi-
tively and live life happily. It benefits everyone related to the person such as personal,
family, neighbours, society, community and country. It is the best tool to remove poverty
and inequality from the society. It provides everyone critical skills and technical knowl-
edge to serve better in their own life, family society and country.
Education provides better opportunity in future for viable economic growth. It helps us
to keep ourselves and people related to us happy and healthy. Proper education prevents
us from the many diseases as well as helps fight the spread of communicable diseases
like HIV/AIDS, infections, etc. It helps to make future bright in all aspects. It gives proper
understanding to us to tackle to many problems all through the life. Through the proper
education, one knows the value of people and value of unity which ultimately reduces
the conflicts among people in family, society and country. Good education is the best tool
for any nation to go ahead, grow and develop among other strong nations. Well edu-
cated people of any country are the most precious assets of that country. Education is
the way to reduce mother and child mortality rate by improving their health.
Education brings transparency, stability, good governance as well as helps to fight
against graft and corruption. Still, in many backwards regions the meaning of education is
nothing. They are so poor that they spend their whole day in earning only two times
food. They understand that earning money from childhood is good instead of wasting
money in education. Education is really an amazing tool which raises income, improves
health, promotes gender equality, mitigates climate change, reduces poverty and so
many. It helps in making a peaceful environment at home or in office. Education provides
intellectual freedom and keeps us happy physically, mentally, socially and intellectually. It
promotes the habit of ideas and experiences sharing among people as well as motivates
them for morals, ethics and community responsibilities.
Education provides us wide range of knowledge such as art, history, sports, maths, lit-
erature and fields. Education is the basic building blocks of success, bright career and
better quality of life.

 SPEECH ON THE VALUE OF EDUCATION 1

Good Morning Respected Principal, Teachers and My Fellow Students!

I, Shashank Sharma, from Class-XII wish to deliver a speech on the Value of Education.
You must have got amazed after seeing me on stage. Actually, there is no special, but pro-
found reason behind this speech ceremony.
During summer vacations, I got the wonderful opportunity to associate myself with an
NGO that teaches underprivileged children. There I realized how lucky we all are at being
blessed with such a life where we get to pursue studies in one of the top schools of Delhi
and get all the possible things we desire for. My experience there was quite moving and
was greatly touched after seeing the miserable condition of those children. Not all the
children as old as a 12-year old student could properly read and write. Unfortunately,
they are deprived of quality education because they don’t have enough money to pay for
their school fee. We always blame God for something or the other, but rarely do we
thank God for giving us such a privileged life.
And, it’s only when the NGO with whom I am associated decided to empower those
kids with quality education that they started seeing a positive change in their lives. So
here I am in front of all the students to make you realize the value of education. Educa-
tion is the most empowering tool for the mankind, especially for the deprived section of
society who have nothing to fall back upon, but education to gain a prosperous exis-
tence. We should value education and study sincerely because it helps mankind grow
into a fuller being and achieve prosperity of the nation and world at large. It helps us be-
coming civilized and differentiating ourselves from the barbaric beings. Education leads
us from darkness to light and empowers us with such characteristic traits as rationality,
tolerance, the power to pursue, etc.
However, it’s important to gain the right kind of education that benefits us and
mankind as a whole and not something which leads society to the ultimate downfall. For
instance, we are seeing how every country is trying to make themselves most powerful in
the world and gain ascendancy over other nations. Every country wishes to arm itself
with the world’s most potent weapons and atomic bombs so that it can subdue or terror-
ize other nations. So this is not the kind of knowledge that I am here referring to because
it is devastating in nature and aims at destruction and war. The knowledge of weapons
and atomic bombs is good as long as it is used for defending ourselves, but the moment
it is used for unnecessary bloodbath and man slaughter; then the knowledge becomes
corrupt.
So it is very important to make a fine distinction between the good knowledge and bad
knowledge and make constant efforts to educate ourselves with the right of education so
that we can bring people and nations together and uproot such evils as poverty, igno-
rance, unemployment, crime, etc completely from our society.
I hereby urge each and every student to not only study sincerely, but also give others
the gift of knowledge.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON THE VALUE OF EDUCATION 2

Respected Managerial Staff and My Dear Teachers – Warm Good Afternoon to all!
I, Krishna Avasthi, one of the founding members of our ABC NGO Group, welcome
everyone to our community hall. As you all know that we have successfully completed a
year and are now in the mode of expanding our group – this news gives me immense
pleasure and I am sure to all of you present here. There is no doubt that we have given
our sweat and blood to this NGO group and now our happiness knows no bounds after
seeing it flourish.
Therefore, on this wonderful occasion I had a great desire to deliver a speech on the
Value of Education because its education that drives us and makes us to give birth to
such NGO groups as ours and educate the deprived masses. However, there are some
loopholes in the way our NGO works and please allow me to point out those so that we
can make ourselves better than what we were yesterday.
Initially, from teaching 10 students to now looking after the education of 50 children –
it is clear that we are slowly and gradually bringing in more children so that many kids
can get benefitted out of it. Education is clearly a very valuable tool, if used well. By giv-
ing our kids quality education, we can empower them and raise them from their meager
existence. Education is the only thing that will remain with them for their lifetime and
will help them grow as a strong individual.
But I would like to say something else too. Even though we are doing really good and
are getting a positive feedback from the children, but I still feel that something is missing
and that is extra-curricular activities. For me, the true value of education lies not just in
reading books and appearing well in exams, but it’s also about its practical application.
We should not make our students merely robots, who just learn what we teach them in
classrooms and do nothing creative on their own. For this, we need to introduce other
activities for them besides academics, such as Dance, Singing, Painting, Poetry Writing,
Sculpting, etc. Of course, it is not possible for us to give our students all these facilities
due to the lack of funds, but we in some way or the other can surely work towards it. In
this way, our students will achieve an over-round development of their personalities.
Let’s also try and inculcate good values in them and develop in them the spiritual angle
so that they grow up not as self-centered individuals,
but someone who can give it back to society and con-
tribute towards the growth of humanity. I know
the way we are progressing on our path; we will
make our children strong and confident individuals
who will be able to deal with any tough situations while keeping
their morality intact with them.
This is all I have to say and now I would request everyone
to give their valuable feedback and suggestions so that we
can make the next plan of action accordingly.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON BOOKS 1

Dear Children – Good Morning to everyone! How you all are doing?
I hope your studies are going smooth and you are enjoying your academic year in
terms of the extra co-curricular activities. There is a lot of enthusiasm and energy in the
young generation of today. This exuberance and energy is certainly evident in our each
and every student and hence not only as a principal of this school, but also as your well-
wisher, I want you to tap this energy and channelize it towards the right direction. It is
good to be a part of sports and other cultural activities that take place in our school, but
it is also important to develop a good reading habit.
So the reason behind paying a visit to your classroom is not only to discuss your con-
cerns, but also to encourage you in developing your reading habits. It is often said that
books are our best friends and it is indeed true because the knowledge that we derive
from reading books will remain with us forever intact and help us in our personal as well
as professional growth. I don’t see many students visiting library and reading books
there, which I see as a major cause of concern. The habit of reading books is very impor-
tant because it will help you become a better person. If nothing more than at least read
biographies of legendary people, whose lives are a source of inspiration for others and
can also inspire you in profound ways.
Other than being a source of inspiration, books also give us knowledge. Despite the
fact that technology has changed our lives in many ways and of course the way we read,
it has also better enabled us to easily reach out to diverse sources of knowledge with the
help of reading.
We must note that book reading transports us to a different world altogether where
we come across people with different languages and cultures from all over the world.
While reading different characters, we become one of them and try to relate with them
in many ways. Whatever we read, we of course try to take out the best from them and
different places, such as Middle East, Asia, Europe, America, Africa and the list just goes
on. Our minds also get exposed to humongous amount of knowledge that lies bare in
books and which helps us connect with deep thinkers as well as a variegated mix of emo-
tional hues.
Not only knowledge, but we also derive entertainment from reading books. Short sto-
ries, novels, travelogues, poems and even comic books provide us with thorough enter-
tainment. It also relaxes our mind because we then leave our worries behind and
become one with that virtual world. Most importantly, it engages our mind in a way that
perhaps no other medium does. Reading ignites our imagination and we become co-cre-
ators of that virtual world so much so that we also start animating stories in our minds.
Believe it or not, but this is indeed a healthy exercise for our brain.
I therefore urge all my students to inculcate this habit of book reading and make the
most of your time.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON BOOKS 2

Dear Society Members and Children – I warmly welcome you all to my house! Hope
everyone is looking forward to the time when the construction of library would be com-
plete and it will then be furnished with a lot of interesting books for reading.
Today therefore I invited you all so that I can deliver a short speech on books and en-
courage everyone, children in particular to make the optimum use of our society library. I
also invite your suggestions and advice on how we can make this library a better place for
all. If anyone feels the lack of something, please feel free to reach me anytime. You are
also requested to spread the word in our neighboring societies so that they can also get
the advantage of it. The library membership is free for the society members and for the
outsiders it would be Rs. 1,000 for a year. I hope the library and its resources would be
best utilized without causing them any harm.
Now coming to the important habit of reading books, it is indeed a great habit and
books should be treasured. There are even such libraries, which have preserved ancient
manuscripts. These manuscripts enable us get to our roots and act as a window to allow
us travel back in the historical time and derive knowledge out of it.
However, with the giant leap in technology, digital libraries have replaced actual li-
braries in the physical world out there. These digital libraries just require pressing of but-
tons and with mobile phones and tablets being so handy anyone can access such libraries
anytime, anywhere, even while traveling. The only difference that we feel is instead of
turning pages after pages in case of a book, touch screen method is employed in phones
and tablets. Yes, it has brought a sweeping change in the world and has changed the way
people have been reading books in the previous times, but reading as a habit has still
held sway on the people’s minds.
However, at the same time we should not divert from our old habit of reading from ac-
tual books. Getting to feel the pages of books while reading has a different feeling alto-
gether and buying good books is indeed an excellent investment that will never go waste.
As John Milton, the great poet once said, Milton “A good book is the precious life-blood
of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life.”
Good books act as a beam of light that illumines our world and shows us the right
path. In the Bible, we do observe the author of a Psalm reiterating this fact, “Your word is
a lamp to my feet and a light for my path!”
It is therefore advisable to make a collection of
good books not only at your home, but library too so
that more and more people can be benefited out of
it. Make good books your companion and see what
the magic unfolds! This is all I have to say!
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON LIFE AFTER SCHOOL – 1

Good Morning Everyone!

It’s a wonderful opportunity to present before you all to give a speech on life after
school. Being a motivational speaker and innovator I feel proud to speak on this topic and
make you realize certain things in life.
Everybody has a dream or a goal in his life and you would agree with me that wherever
you go the dream of yours follows you. Your ambition is what you follow blindly and work
every second towards it. Being school students is a very joyful and happy life but as you
step in the real world you will realize the relevance of school and your teachers.
I would like to share my experience when I was in school, I was a very mischievous stu-
dent and once I got a lot of scolding from my teacher for not completing my homework.
That was the day when I complained about my teacher to my parents but they told me
one thing that this time of your life you will miss once you are out of school.
Nobody would even bother what you are up to in your life. It is the same thing which
my parents told me before. Yes, there will be no one to make you realize your mistakes
and you will be responsible for your own deeds. This was just an example I gave you all to
make you realize that this is your golden period. Enjoy this time in school to the fullest
and value your teachers.
Once you will be out of the school there would be lots of pressure that you would have
to handle, nobody will spoon-feed you and nobody would even pin point where you are
going wrong. Even if you fail in life you would have to take the responsibility on your own
shoulders.
School days are the best time when you can relax, study as well as enjoy your lives but
when you leave your school you will realize what exactly your responsibilities are and
how you need to cope with them. As students you are dependent on your parents but
when you grow up you need to take care of them just the way they did for you. You need
to realize how important is to value every phase of our lives. Every phase teaches us one
thing or the other.
Thus, as a motivational speaker I hope I have motivated you
all to respect everyone in your lives and especially those who
love you the most. This is the golden period of your life and it
is never going to come back so enjoy your school days to
the best of your capabilities.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON LIFE AFTER SCHOOL – 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Colleagues and My Dear Students- I hope this day
finds you in best of spirits!
Today on the speech giving day in the morning assembly, as a teacher I am present be-
fore you to deliver a speech on a quite exciting topic for me which is life after school. It
brings back certain memories of my school days.
My colleagues would agree with me that we all have something to share from our
school days. Our experiences would be a life lesson for you dear students. School is the
place where you all spend half of the day enjoying extracurricular activities including
dance, sports, plays, dramas etc. These activities prepare you all for the challenging real
world which is waiting once you finish your school life.
These activities shape your character and personalities and help you in developing as a
full-fledged responsible individual and human being. School lays down your foundation
and keeps on improvising your skills. It is the place where you and I nurture our dreams.
We get inspired and create our role models in school and follow them the entire life in
our subconscious minds.
In fact, we all owe whatever we are today to our school. From getting life lessons and
also scoldings in the same place. Don’t ever get disheartened when your teacher scolds
you, remember that he/she does this because he/she is worried about your career and
wants a successful life for you without any failures and mistakes. You all should thank
your parents for sending you to the best schools for your education. Schools are like the
building blocks of the society which nurtures the individual and makes them a good
human being which in turn becomes valuable for the country itself.
The most important reason to educate youth is that they are the one who are going to
support the society. It’s important that you all should be imparted right kind of education
and skills so that you take our country to the next level. Life after school is not going to
be easy and there will be various challenging situations that you would have to deal with
yourself and can’t even reveal it to others because everybody has to go through their
own share of struggles and pain.
You would realize once you get out of the school that how memorable were those days
where you had no responsibilities. Life after school will not be bed of roses rather there
will be ups and downs in life and you will have to handle your family where in now they
take all your burdens and responsibilities. I believe that school plays a very important
part in all our lives and without which a nation too cannot function well.
Therefore, I hope you all have understood the value of school and got an insight on
how the real world would be and how you need to overcome tough challenges.
Thank You!

 IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION SPEECH 1

First of all I would like to say good morning to the respected teachers, parents and my
dear friends. I would like to speech on the importance of education which is must to
know by all of us. Education plays a great role in the life of everyone all through the life.
Getting proper education is very necessary to get success and happy life just like food is
necessary for healthy body. It is very important to live luxurious and better life. It devel-
ops personality of the people, provides physical and mental standard and transforms
people’s living status. It promotes the feeling of physical, mental and social well being by
providing better life. Good education is constructive in nature which constructs our fu-
ture forever. It helps a person to improve his/her status of mind, body and spirit. It pro-
vides us lots of confidence by giving us bulk of knowledge in many field. It is a single and
vital way to the success as well as personal growth.
Importance of Education
The more knowledge we get, we grow and develop more in the life. Being well edu-
cated never only means to earn certificates and good salary from the recognized and re-
puted organisation companies or institutions however it also means to be a good and
social person in the life. It helps us to determine whether something is good or bad for us
and other persons related to us. The first purpose of getting good education is being
good citizen and then being successful in personal and professional life. We are incom-
plete without a good education because education makes us right thinker and correct de-
cision maker. In such a competitive world, education has become a necessity for human
beings after food, clothe and shelter. It is able to provide solutions to all problems; it pro-
motes good habits and awareness about corruption, terrorism, and other social issues
among us.
Education is the most important tool offers inner and outer strength to a person. Edu-
cation is the fundamental rights of everyone and capable of bringing any desired change
and upliftment in the human mind and society.
Thank You

 IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATION SPEECH 2

Good morning to the Excellencies, my respected teachers and my dear friends. I would
like to speech over importance of education at this great occasion in front of you. Educa-
tion is very important to all of us. Our parents make us learn many things at home and
then send us to school after age of three years. Our home is first education institute
where we learn how to behave to others and other skills however school education is
very necessary to be successful in practical life. Through school education we learn and
develop personality, mental skills, moral and physical powers. Without proper education,
one gets lack of all educational benefits in his/her life. Education is the only key to suc-
cess in personal and professional life. Education provides us various types of knowledge
and skills. It is a continuous, slow and secure process of learning which helps us in obtain-
ing knowledge. It is a continuous process which starts when we take birth and ends when
our life ends.
We should make our habits of learning always all through the life from our teachers,
parents, family members, friends and other related people in our life. We learn to be-
come a good person, learn to live in home, society, community and friend circle. Attend-
ing school and receiving education is extremely vital for every person and necessary for
those who want to achieve success. We all take birth in same manner at the same planet
however do not get same opportunity to receive such type of formal education which
may lead everyone of us towards success because of the lack of money and knowledge of
parents. One who gets proper education becomes admired by the members of the fam-
ily, community and country. Proper education by all brings equality among human beings
and removes the feeling of difference.
Education not only makes us able to learn about history, sci-
ence, math, geography, and other subjects however it makes
us smart enough to learn how to live life and handle bad situ-
ations.

 SPEECH ON TECHNOLOGY – 1

Honourable Principal, Vice principal, Teachers and all my Fellow Classmates!

I stand here today to deliver a succinct speech on technology and how it has greatly af-
fected our lives. In today’s world of rising competition, technology plays a very crucial
role in making our lives easy and comfortable. There is no doubt that it is the most signif-
icant component of our survival in today’s era.
Presently, each and every day, a novel application or software is being introduced in
the economy that serves to enhance and uplift the lifestyle of the people in innumerable
ways; hence making our lives better and full of smart components.
We use technology every day and everywhere in order to fulfil particular duties or our
specific interests. The technology helps us in numerous ways from morning till evening.
People from all the age groups benefit from technology until and unless they know how
to access the same. But one must never forget that anything that comes to us has its own
share of pros and cons.
There are multifarious benefits of technology. Technology has made communication
much easier than ever before by the introduction of advanced and modified innovations
of phones and applications. Not only in the professional world, but also in the household
sphere, technology has contributed a lot. Most of the technology that we have around us
is automatic as compared to the ones our parents had in their days. In the entertainment
sector, we have more techniques to provide the audience with a real time experience.
There are more games, better musical instruments, better visual systems like smart TV’s.
Great success has been achieved in social networking by connecting millions of people at
one go with the help of codes. The advanced technology in clinics and hospitals has re-
duced the errors made by surgeons; hence evolving the patient’s treatment.
Despite all these advantages there are some disadvantages as well, which have nega-
tively affected the importance of technology. The biggest problem that has been wit-
nessed is unemployment. Due to the over practice and much involvement of technology,
the machinery has replaced human labour leading to unemployment in so many sectors.
Certain physiological research teams have also proved that due to the presence of social
applications like Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter, etc the actual social isolation has in-
creased leading to depression and increased loneliness cases amongst the youngsters.
The increased dependency of humans on technology has even deteriorated the intelli-
gence and creativity of children.
Our nation is a developing nation in the context of technology and science. So, we
must know how to make wise utilisation of technology without creating hindrance in the
growth of an individual, mentally as well as physically. At last, I would only say that it de-
pends on us how much we choose to be dependent on technology because there is noth-
ing in the world which comes easy; it’s our conscience which decides what we learn from
the things that are provided to us.
Thank You!

 SPEECH ON TECHNOLOGY – 2

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, Teachers and Dear Fellow Students!

I am Namrata from Class 10, Section –A and your host for today’s event. I warmly wel-
come you all for assembling here. Before we begin the programme, I would like to speak
on an extremely significant topic, i.e. “Technology”, as it has become a major part of our
lives.
Advancement in Science and Technology in many spheres has without any doubt made
our lives better than the earlier times. We cannot refute the fact that the life of each one
of us is highly dependent on the scientific inventions and modern day technology.
It has bought an end to the wooden toys era and replaced the same with automatic
cars. Its effect has been well observed in spheres like medicines, education, infrastruc-
ture, electricity, aviation, information, computer, metallurgy, physics, nuclear energy,
space technology, defence research, biotechnology, household, sports, job, tourism, agri-
culture and numerous other fields as well.
Introduction of such technological strides, ideas and inventions to all these fields has
brought a gigantic level of positive change in the current generation and thus, has pro-
vided them a variety of new and innovative opportunities. In India, technology has be-
come the main source of the foundational and creative developments. It has improved
and brought some huge developments in the Indian Economic status worldwide and has
also created many new programmes for our new generation to grow in this technical
world.
The maximum advantages have been seen in the educational sector. The more techno-
logical modifications, the better benefits it provides for students at several educational
levels. For instance, since many students find the normal lectures boring and monoto-
nous, the idea of smart classes makes them more engrossed in the same lectures that
they earlier found boring.
There are also some people who are of the opinion that technology spoils a person by
making him stoic and reducing his physical activities; thus increasing the chances of vari-
ous health problems. This section of people supports the fact that the technological-
based society offers a kind of silver spoon to people so much so that in the end they are
unable to solve their problem on their own. This kind of dependency puts people in a
horrifying condition where they are not at all self-reliant.
Other set of people who debate on this argument, believe that technology continues
to be a very significant part of our society. They support the fact that it’s an indispensa-
ble part of our lives in the present scenario and will only help people for their better-
ment. It is immensely useful in providing the much needed knowledge to the students.
All the great changes in varied arenas discussed above, have taken place due to the game
changing contribution of technology. Further, this is a technical and cultural revolution.
But one thing we must not forget is that all the innovations are made to help us, not to
make us the victim of the technological world. Now that we have a quick and easy access
to the vast reservoir of knowledge through internet, we should make good use of it in
order to solve the problems that we have around the world.
So students let us all take a pledge today to only make a fair use of technology for the
realization of our goals and not making ourselves slaves of technology.
Thank You!

 MY SCHOOL LIFE 1

Dear Friends – I hope this day finds you in the best of spirits!
Today on the speech giving day, I – Pratishtha Singh from Class-VIII (B) – would like to
deliver a speech on My School Life. I am sure we all will have something or the other to
say about our school lives. Isn’t it?
The very word ‘School’ carries a lot of emotions with it and we are transported to a
world where we spend half of our day studying, reading and writing, then enjoying other
co-curricular activities too such as sports, dance, music, etc. We imbibe a lot in the
school environment where our personalities and characters are shaped and we are pre-
pared for the nation’s building exercise. The foundation of our early years is very impor-
tant as it informs our future and this very foundation is being laid down by our school. I
am in VIII standard at present and so far my journey in this school has been excellent; in
fact whatever I am today I owe it all to my school.
I want to thank my parents for sending me to one of the best schools of our town and I
also want to thank our hon’ble principal and teachers for being so considerate all the
time and always working for the better prospects of their students. I especially want to
thank my class teacher for being so patient and kind with us and always showing ready
nature for resolving our queries. My school life has been best so far and there are no
laments or regrets for anything. My school has given me a lot many things, i.e. it has
made me confident, independent and knowledgeable. The fact that I have brought home
awards and trophies in Science and Maths subjects in Olympiad as well as inter-school
competition; reveal a lot about my schooling and the hard work that my teachers have
put in towards our mental and intellectual growth.
There is no reason to doubt that if such school as ours continues to thrive all across the
country then no one can stop our nation from growing by leaps and bounds. Needless to
say, a nations’ growth is directly proportional to the development of its youth and if the
future of youth is laid waste then no one can save the future of that nation from plunging
into obscurity. And if the youth thrives the nation also thrives. This is the reason why so
much stress is laid down on educating the youth and making them independent and im-
parting them different skills so that employment can be generated and more and more of
our youth can find the opportunities for showcasing their talent and making their nation
proud.
So I firmly believe that schools play a very important role in our society without the ex-
istence of which any nation would be reduced to a state of gross barbarity.
This is all I have to say, thank you so much for being such a great audience.

 MY SCHOOL LIFE 2

Hello Folks – Warm Greetings of the day to all of you!

I hope life is treating you well. Before I begin with the speech on My School Life, I want
to thank our class teacher for giving me the opportunity to speak in front of you all and
deliver a speech. I know this exercise will help remove all my inhibitions and give me
enough confidence to speak. The subject of my speech is interesting and does not re-
quire any preparation at all as it will all flow from my heart.
What do I say about my school life? So far so good! The journey has been incredibly
great and I have quite evolved in these preceding 12 years so much so that I am now
ready for the next level challenges. Excitement is high in the air! After scoring highest
marks in my 10th board exam, I am exhilarated and boosted with enough confidence to
launch myself for the upcoming challenges. I can say this because of the immense sup-
port I have received from all my teachers. Had that support not been there I wouldn’t
have brought this glory home.
Whatever I am today is all because of my teachers and nothing can take this credit
away from them. I am extremely thankful to my school for providing us with all the quin-
tessential resources needed for our growth and development. Whether it’s the libraries
or labs, time to time conducted workshops or our extra classes – everything has helped
us a lot in getting closer to our dreams. If we as students come across any hindrance in
our studies we can directly report it to our principal. The management is smooth and
pretty systematic in our school. It doesn’t take days and months to resolve our query as
quick decisions and actions are taken. This is the reason why our school has gone on to
achieve benchmarks after benchmarks and needless to say is counted amongst one of
the best schools of West Java.
I can proudly say that my school is the best school and whoever passes out from this
school is bound to land successfully somewhere and will definitely
make it to the best. The best part about my school is that it
doesn’t function with a view to ameliorate the immediate pres-
ent, but constantly works towards achieving a vision that it has
envisaged for itself. If our future is secure then we are
secure and this is the primary goal of our school, i.e. to
safeguard our future by molding us in such a manner
that we can derive strength from our own selves and
overcome any obstacle in life.
There couldn’t have been a better school for me
than this which has greatly honed my skills and
showcased my talent so well that today I feel proud
of my achievements and so are my teachers and parents. In
the end, I only wish for my school unbounded success and
glory.
Thank you everyone!
