SPEECH is the faculty of expressing or describing thoughts, feelings or perceptions by vocal communication or
conversation. It is always addressed to a vast multitude of people. Writing a speech is very much similar to
writing an essay, a report or an article, but the difference is that your words are being HEARD not READ, the
audience is a listener, not a reader. So, you only have one chance to get your message across.

Points to remember
1. Give the title at the top.
2. Begin with “Good morning to all of you, today I am here to express my views on the topic”/ It’s a matter of
great privilege for me to deliver a speech on the topic...
3. Present Tense is usually used when you write out a speech.
4. Define the topic; give its causes, effects, the present state and remedial measures.
5. Clarity, organization and systematic presentation of ideas are very important.
6. Should be a coherent piece clearly stating a particular point of view. Divide the speech into 3 to 4 paragraphs.
7. Conclude by giving suggestions for improvement- hope for a better future.
8. Always make a rough draft.

1: You are Ali/Alia, Head girl/Head boy of your school. You are deeply disturbed by the rising cases of
aggressive behaviour of students in your school. You decide to speak during the morning assembly about it.
Write a speech on ‘Indiscipline in Schools’.

Answer:

Respected Principal, dear teachers and students. Today I am going to speak about the rising cases of aggressive
behaviour among students in our school. Indiscipline among students has become so widespread that everyone
is criticizing them.

Teachers accuse that they do not show respect. Parents are dissatisfied with them because they do not get good
scores in the examination and waste their time on mobiles, videos, etc. And if we talk to the students, we are
told that they are angry with the authorities, dissatisfied with their teachers and parents. Every day we come
across in newspapers about strikes by students and fighting in schools. Some of these incidents take so ugly a
turn that they can be controlled by police only. At times the errant students are sent to a juvenile home due to
their aggressive behaviour. The future of the young generation seems to be gloomy due to the absence of value
education. There is absence of a close rapport of the teachers with the students and this is due to overcrowding
in the classes, i.e., instead of 20 to 25 students very often schools have 45 to 50 students in each section and as
much as 10 sections in each class. This leads to a lack of rapport between teachers and students. At the same
time, teachers also need to behave well with the students; they should give their best to the students and treat
them like their own wards.

To reduce indiscipline among students, it is the duty of parents, teachers and authorities to sit together and take
some useful and appropriate action to save them from getting spoiled. It is very easy for students to get deviant
if they are not guided property by their parents and school authorities. Hence, the issue of indiscipline must be
tackled on a war footing as students are the hope of the nation. Thank You all for the patient hearing.

2. You are Rashika/Ram, an IAS officer. You have been invited to the inauguration of a public park. You need
to deliver a speech on the topic “Importance of Physical Health” in 120-150 words.

Answer:
Famous quotes like “Health is Wealth” and “If I am Healthy, then I am Wealthy” convey an important message.
It is not just to be read and understood, but is meant to be put to action.

Good morning, everyone. I am Rashika/Ram, an IAS officer. I would like to present my views on the topic
“Importance of Physical Health”. I think we can all agree that we all fantasise about having a healthier body.

Some of us even draw up a schedule which we follow for only a few days. It is important to implement our
ideas and plans in order to achieve our goals. Exercise is important not only for our physical health but for our
overall well-being. A healthy body increases concentration and productivity. Therefore, lack of exercise is one
of the main reasons why we are unable to cope up with workload and stress. Exercise can cure depression and
also help in the improvement of a student’s performance in examinations. With exercise, our bodies become
lighter, and so we do not get tired easily.

I hope the newly built park will be a great motivation for us to include exercise in our daily lifestyle. I would
like to thank the Minister of Health and the Head of the Municipality for inviting me here today.

Thank you for listening.
