Reported Speech Exercises With Answers For Class 12 CBSE
Question 1. Regular practice of yoga is useful in maintaining good health. It is also important for good concentration and peace of mind. You are Shivam/Shabnam. Write a speech in 150 – 200 words to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school, highlighting the impact of yoga in our life. Answer: Good morning everybody. Today, I, Shivam, have got an opportunity to share my views on “Impact of Yoga in our life.”
We all know that yoga is basically a method to achieve balance in our body, i.e. gaining strength, increasing flexibility and attaining concentration and spiritually.
In fact, the famous ‘Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is an authority on the various postures of the body and breath control exercises. So, regular practice of yoga is needed to maintain good health.
Truly, many of us perform yoga daily but how many actually know about what the yoga entails and why it is performed. So, the definitive aim of yoga is not only to ensure our good health but also to endorse a non – materialistic way of living. Yoga is described through the use of the Sanskrit word Aasanas’ which means different types of physical postures. So, the yoga postures are an essential part of yoga besides Pranayam, the breathing exercises. Thus, yoga addresses the needs of our physical and mental health, and concentration and peace of mind it is the journey of the self, to the self, and through the self.
Question 2. As Principal of your school you have found some students reaching the school late in the morning, coming late to their classrooms after recess, returning lazily to the theory class after doing practicals in the laboratory. Write a speech in 150 – 200 words that you will deliver on the importance of discipline and punctuality in life. Answer: Good morning teachers and dear students. Today, I want to share my views on “the importance of discipline and punctuality in life.
Discipline and punctuality play a vital role in one’s progress in every sphere of life. In fact, discipline and punctuality in schools and colleges implies regular preparation of lessons, attending the classes on time and learning correct behaviour in society. It is the duty of every student to be disciplined and punctual if one has to prosper in life. The greater the discipline and punctuality in an academic institution, the higher is the respect commands and the better it does to fulfil its objective of training young minds.
On the other hand, an undisciplined and unpunctual man proves to be a complete failure in the society. This is because he fails to keep track of his goals and is unable to fulfil them in time. As such, he proves i to be a misfit in the society. It would not be wrong to say that those indisciplined and unpunctual are a burden on the society rather that an asset. Their whole life is unproductive. They do not add anything ; to the country’s progress and prosperity.
So my sincere advice to you is to maintain fiscal discipline. Do not overspend, maintain social discipline, follow society norms. Do not violate them. Finish all your obligations in a fixed time. As leaders of tomorrow these qualities will go a long way making you’as successful as success is.
Question 3. The students of your school got 100 per cent marks in various subjects in Senior School Certificate Examination this year. This achievement was made through the efforts made by the students under the guidance of their teachers. Write a speech in 150 – 200 words congratulating the teachers and the students. Answer: Good morning everybody. You would be glad to know that the students of our school have really done well securing cent per cent marks in Secondary examination this year.
I congratulate the toppers and the teachers who guided them. This is really a great achievement of the students who brought glory to the school. Every year we allow all the students to appear in class XII board exams. According to official records, during tire last ten years, our students in science stream had secured 85 per cent marks. But this year, the results of the students are really extraordinary.
I appreciate the constant efforts of the students to make it to the top. Some toppers said they worked hard and relentlessly, thus making sure that every possible error was taken into consideration. Some students asked, “Sir, what is the success mantra of being a topper?” To quote Hammarskjold, “Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top, you will realise how it was.” This is the success mantra – practice always makes us perfect.
Do you think the tips you get from the book sufficient to secure 100 per cent marks in the exams? It is not sufficient to get to the top. What you need is the Internet browsing for learning from question banks and video lectures. You can make use of other tools that will help you gather required knowledge beyond what the books would offer you. I wish the toppers well placed in life.
Thank you. The Principal
Question 4. Sakshi Malik won a bronze medal in Rio Olympics. Every Indian felt proud of her. you, head girl of your school, want to deliver a speech in order to express your feelings. Write the speech in 150 – 200 words. Apart from your own ideas, use the following clues:
Answer: Good Morning Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends.
Today I feel privileged as I stand here to speak about Sakshi Malik, who has made every Indian proud by her stellar performance at Rio Olympics 2016. We all know that she is a freestyle wrestler and has won the bronze medal in the 58 kg category becoming the first Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the Olympics and the fourth female Olympic medallist from India.
Let me remind my friends that all this cannot be achieved in a day. It takes years of toil, practice, dedication and discipline to get such honours. And more so for Sakshi Malik, who hails from a conservative society of Haryana where wrestling is a male – dominated sport. Her parents were a pillar of strength who constantly encouraged her against all odds. She started her training as a wrestler from the age of 12 under her coach Ishwar Dahiya who made her practise with boys. What is creditable is that the coach ignored all protests by locals for having taken a girl under his wings in a “sport not meant for girls”.
I would like to end my speech by saying that discipline, focus, determination and confidence can help one achieve anything in life and who has proved this better than our very own Sakshi Malik.
Question 5. Holi is a festival of colours. It expresses pure and simple joy. Sometimes we start throwing coloured water and that too on strangers. As the Head Boy / Girl of your school write a speech in 150 – 200 words that you will deliver in the morning assembly of your school, describing why Holi is played and how it should be played. Answer: Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends.
Today as the Head Girl of your school, I am going to talk about the festival of colours – Holi. This festival is celebrated with a lot of fervour and gaiety all over India in the month of March by all sections of society. It signifies the end of winter, arrival of spring, victory of good over evil, for merry – making and for some, it is also celebrated as a thanksgiving day for a good harvest. This festival expresses pure love and joy.
Friends, an important point that I am going to touch upon is the way it should be played. Play Holi in an eco – friendly manner, use natural colours and play it to the fullest. The idea is not to reduce the fun but to play keeping the environment in mind. Avoid using balloons and plastic bags and as far as possible, play it in a dry way. Many a time, children and adults throw buckets full of water and water-filled balloons on passers-by which can result in someone getting hurt. The idea is to have fun but not at someone’s cost. So, dear friends, let us all remember to play Holi in a joyous, safe, healthy, eco – friendly and in a responsible way to keep the spirit of the festival intact.
Question 6. After the rainy season is over, mosquitoes start breeding. They cause malaria, dengue, chikungunya, etc. These diseases can sometimes prove to be fatal. As Principal of your school you have decided to deliver a speech on protection from mosquitoes. Write that speech in 150 – 200 words. Answer: Dear students. Today I am going to talk to you all on how to protect yourself from mosquitoes in the wake of increase in dengue, malaria and chikungunya cases. These diseases can sometimes prove fatal, especially after the rainy season gets over.
One of the most important things to remember is that mosquitoes need stagnant water to breed. No . water, no reproduction. It means that our effort should be to clean the standing water wMch can prove to be a breeding site and how it can be done. First and foremost, check around faucets, coolers and air – conditioners for any leakage, secondly discard all the tin cans, broken bottles or any other container that can hold water for a long time. Let no puddles be formed in and around your house and school. No overflowing of water tanks should be allowed.
Dear children, I am also going to allow all of you to wear shirts with long sleeves and full pants from tomorrow till further announcements are made. Another important step that you can take is to tell your parents to buy insect repellents that have to be used with care. Students, I end here with the hope that you will follow all the precautions as it is your own health that matters the most.
Question 7. 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’. (150 – 200 words) 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 criticising 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 absense of value education. There is absense 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.
Question 8. Your PGT English Ms. Geetha is a short story writer also. ‘Sky is not Far’ is a collection of her latest short stories. This book has won a national award. Write a speech in 150 – 200 words you will deliver in her honour in the morning assembly. Answer: Respected Principal, dear teachers and friends.
It is my proud privilege to be standing here today to speak in honour of our dear English teacher Ms. Geetha. She really doesn’t need an introduction but what I am going to say may not be known to the students of the school. She is not only a great English teacher but an excellent writer. Her latest collection of short stories ‘Sky is not Far’ has won her a national award which is commendable. Authoring a book and winning the prestigious national award is no mean feat!
We are all blessed to have her as a teacher who is an inspiration to all students. The school has grabbed headlines in today’s national dailies because of her great achievement and this has made us all so proud.
As an English teacher too, she has amazing communication skills and today if I 3m standing and speaking here in front of you all, the credit goes to her. I am sure that all her other students would echo my sentiments. So, on behalf of all present here, we salute Madam Geetha, the excellent teacher and the author, who has taken our school to great heights. She is an asset to our school.
Question 9. ‘Down to Earth’, an environmental awareness magazine, has launched a marathon ‘Clean Your City Campaign’. As an active participant, write a speech in 150 – 200 words to be read out in the morning assembly urging students to participate in the campaign. Answer: Good morning, Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends. Today I, XYZ, am here to make you all aware of an enthusiastic social campaign. ‘Down to Earth’, an environment awareness magazine, has launched a ‘Clean Your City Campaign’ marathon. This campaign is not like the ordinary campaigns which are full of mob holding posters and slogans This is something different.

The basic objective behind the marathon is to include more and more people to make our city cleaner and greener in an innovative manner. The marathon will start from the polo ground, Lawrence Road, at 8:00 a.m. and continue till evening. This will cover the maximum portion of the city.

Question 10. Corruption is an evil which prevails in each and every nook and cranny of our lives. As president of student council, write a speech, expressing the need to curb this evil immediately. Answer: Good morning, respected Principal, worthy teachers and my dear friends. Today I am going to express my views on the topic; “Corruption an Evil and the Need to Crush it”.
What is corruption? It is basically the act of bribery and fraud for indulging in unfair practices to fulfil personal motives. This evil is present in the society since time immemorial. This evil has gone into each sector and has become a common practice.
What could be the causes for indulging in corruption? These could be lust for power, money and prestige. It is a ladder of success through which people reach the top using undue favours and means and disregarding the regulations and norms. Corruption is rampant in many forms like nepotism, dereliction of duty, wastage of public property, getting admissions.
Corruption is eating into the rights of common man and is harming our image. CWG, Adarsh Society, Chit fund scams all these have been a result of utmost corruption.
Being the youth of the society, we should act fast to make our nation corruption – free. The movement led by Anna Hazare for Jan Lok Pal Bill is one of the biggest movements against corruption in the nation’s history.
Corruption starts from the bottom and reaches the top, thus it needs to be curbed at the ground level.
There should be a monitoring committee with stern vigilance to keep a check on corrupt officials and activities. There should be strict penalty and punishment for the corrupt people. We need to make more and more people aware and raise their voice against corruption.
Question 11. As an active member of Science Club of your school, write a speech in 15(1 – 200 word i on the topic , ‘Advantages of Nuclear Power’. You are Raghav/Ramita of S.P. International school. Answer: Good morning, respected Principal, worthy teachers and my dear friends. It is a matter of great privilege for me, Raghav, that I have got an opportunity to share my view on the ‘Advantages of Nuclear Power’. Atomic energy and technology possess a vast potential to improve the quality of life. Nuclear power is a gift to mankind for fulfilling many of its needs.
With the advent of technology in nuclear power there is a commendable increase in the development in the medical sector. Complex diseases like cancer, leprosy, etc. can be treated using nuclear power, thus saving many lives.
In the field of agriculture and industry, production has increased manifold with the use of nuclear technology. It has helped this sector to progress and prosper a lot. If we talk about defence, the surveillance capacity has improved a lot with the use of this technology. Now we have more weapons and devices operating on this technology. Thus, nuclear power is safeguarding the nation. In the field of ba sic amenitiesj this technology works in the form of reverse osmosis which purifies water and spares us the ill effects of unsafe water. The most important contribution is in the field of power generation. The electricity supply has increased manifold with the advent of nuclear power reactors.
In a nutshell, nuclear power has changed our lives for the better. However, there are some things which need to be taken care of in this regard. It should serve mankind. It should not be used in wars.

Speech Writing Format
Whether school assignments, public speaking events, or professional presentations, the correct speech writing format will help you create speeches that are organized, effective, and memorable. The essential components about speech writing include an introduction, body, and conclusion. Here is a brief introduction to the format of speech writing English:
- Introduction : Greet the audience, tell them about yourself and further introduce the topic.
- Body : Elaborately present the topic, explaining its key features, pros and cons, if any and the like.
- Conclusion : Summary of your speech, wrap up the topic and leave your audience with a compelling reminder to think about!
To write a speech writing, the Introduction has to be attention-getting, after the greetings. Quickly get people’s attention. The goal of a speech is to engage the audience and persuade them to think or act in your favour. The introduction must effectively include:
- A brief preview of your topic.
- Define the outlines of your speech. (For example, I’ll be talking about…First..Second…Third)
- Begin with a story, quote, fact, joke, or observation in the room. It shouldn’t be longer than 3-4 lines. (For Example: “Mahatma Gandhi said once…”, or “This topic reminds me of an incident/story…”)
This part is also important because that’s when your audience decides if the speech is worth their time. Keep your introduction factual, interesting, and convincing.
The most important part of any speech writing is its Body. In the body section, you should provide a detailed explanation of a given topic, a number of reasons and arguments to convince the audience to agree with you.
Handling objections is an important aspect of speech composition. There is no time for questions or concerns since a speech is a monologue. Any concerns that may occur during the speech will be addressed by a powerful speech. As a result, you’ll be able to respond to questions as they come in from the crowd. To make speech simpler you can prepare a flow chart of the details in a systematic way.
For example: If your speech is about waste management; distribute information and arrange it according to subparagraphs for your reference. It could include:
- What is Waste Management?
- Major techniques used to manage waste
- Advantages of Waste Management
- Importance of Waste Management
The conclusion should be something that the audience takes with them. It could be a reminder, a collective call to action, a summary of your speech, or a story. For example: “It is upon us to choose the fate of our home, the earth by choosing to begin waste management at our personal spaces.”
After concluding, add a few lines of gratitude to the audience for their time.
For example: “Thank you for being a wonderful audience and lending me your time. Hope this speech gave you something to take away.”
Now you have understood about speech writing format with examples of each section. Let us see another example of the format of speech writing or outline for a speech for better understanding with the help of the image given below:
“There are three things to aim at in public speaking: first, to get into your subject, then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into the heart of your audience.”- Alexander Gregg
Understand Your Audience : Tailor your speech to the interests, age group, and knowledge level of your audience to make it relevant and engaging.
Define the Purpose : Determine if the speech is to inform, persuade, entertain, or inspire. Your purpose will shape the structure and tone of the content.
Start with a Strong Opening : Use an attention-grabbing hook, such as a quote, question, or story, to capture the audience’s attention from the start.
Organize Your Content : Structure your speech with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion. Each section should flow logically to maintain clarity and focus.
Keep Language Simple and Engaging : Use simple language, relatable examples, and direct speech to make your message clear and impactful.
Include Key Points and Supporting Details : Outline main ideas and back them with facts, statistics, or examples to add credibility and depth to your speech.
Practice Timing : Aim for a balanced speech length, ensuring you cover all points within the allotted time without rushing or dragging.
Use Repetition for Emphasis : Reiterate key points to reinforce your message and help the audience retain the information.
End with a Memorable Conclusion : Summarize the main message and leave the audience with a strong closing statement or call to action.
Practice Delivery : Rehearse your speech multiple times to work on your tone, pacing, and body language, ensuring a confident and smooth presentation.
The way you start your English speech can set the tone for the remainder of it. This semester, there are a variety of options for you to begin presentations in your classes. For example, try some of these engaging speech in English language starters.
- Rhetorical questions : A rhetorical question is a figure of speech that uses a question to convey a point rather than asking for a response. The answer to a rhetorical question may be clear, yet the questioner asks it to emphasize the point. Rhetorical questions may be a good method for students to start their English speeches. This method of introducing your material might be appealing to the viewers and encourage them to consider how they personally relate to your issue.
- Statistics: When making an instructive or persuasive speech in an English class, statistics can help to strengthen the speaker’s authority and understanding of the subject. To get your point over quickly and create an emotional response, try using an unexpected statistic or fact that will resonate with the audience.
- Set up an imaginary scene: Create an imaginary situation in your audience’s thoughts if you want to persuade them to agree with you with your speech. This method of starting your speech assists each member of the audience in visualizing a fantastic scenario that you wish to see come true.
The English language includes eight parts of speech i.e. nouns , pronouns, verbs , adjectives, adverbs , prepositions , conjunctions, and interjections. Below, we have explained them in brief. Please take a look.
- Noun- A noun is a word that describes anything, such as an animal, a person, a place, or an emotion. Nouns are the building blocks for most sentences.
- Pronoun – Pronouns are words that can be used in place of nouns. They are used so that we don’t have to repeat words. This makes our writing and speaking much more natural.
- Verb – A verb is a term that implies activity or ‘doing.’ These are very vital for your children’s grammar studies, as a sentence cannot be complete without a verb.
- Adjective – An adjective is a term that describes something. An adjective is frequently used before a noun to add extra information or description.
- Prepositions- A preposition is a term that expresses the location or timing of something in relation to something else.
- Conjunction- Because every language has its own set of conjunctions, English conjunctions differ from those found in other languages. They’re typically used as a connecting word between two statements, concepts, or ideas.
- Interjections- Interjections are words that are used to describe a strong emotion or a sudden feeling.
A good speech writing is well-timed, informative, and thought-provoking. To write a perfect speech for classes 11 and 12, students must have a good understanding of the subject, in-depth knowledge of the topic, some research and excellent writing skills that can help in speech writing in English. Here are the tips for speech writing class 11 and 12:
1. Speech Sandwich of Public Speaking
The introduction and conclusion must be crisp. People psychologically follow the primacy effect (tendency to remember the first part of the list/speech) and recency effect (tendency to recall the last part of the list/speech).
2. Use Concrete Facts
Make sure you thoroughly research your topic. Including facts appeals to the audience and makes your speech stronger. How much waste is managed? Give names of organisations and provide numerical data in one line.
3. Use Rhetorical Strategies and Humour
Include one or two open-ended or thought-provoking questions. For Example: “Would we want our future generation to face trouble due to global warming?” Also, make good use of humour and convenient jokes that engage your audience and keep them listening.
4. Know your Audience and Plan Accordingly
This is essential before writing your speech. To whom is it directed? The categorised audience on the basis of –
- Knowledge of the Topic (familiar or unfamiliar)
Use the information to formulate the speech accordingly, use information that they will understand, and a sentence that they can retain.
5. Timing Yourself is Important
An important aspect of your speech is to time yourself. Don’t write a speech that exceeds your word limit. Here’s how can decide the right timing for your speech writing:
- A one-minute speech roughly requires around 130-150 words
- A two-minute speech requires roughly around 250-300 words

Speech Writing Examples for Students
Here are some helpful speech writing examples for classes 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th. Make sure to pay attention to the format, writing style, and language to make your speech more effective for the audience.
Write a speech to be delivered in the school assembly as Rahul/ Rubaina of Delhi Public School emphasises the importance of cleanliness, implying that the level of cleanliness represents the character of its residents. (150-200 words)
“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” said the great John Wesley. Hello, respected principals, instructors, and good friends. Today, I, Rahul/Rubaina, stand in front of you all to emphasise the significance of cleanliness. Cleanliness is the condition or attribute of being or remaining clean. Everyone must learn about cleaning, hygiene, sanitation, and the different diseases that are produced by unsanitary circumstances. It is essential for physical well-being and the maintenance of a healthy atmosphere at home and at school. A filthy atmosphere invites a large number of mosquitos to grow and spread dangerous diseases. On the other side, poor personal cleanliness causes a variety of skin disorders as well as lowered immunity. Habits formed at a young age become ingrained in one’s personality. Even if we teach our children to wash their hands before and after meals, brush their teeth and bathe on a regular basis, we are unconcerned about keeping public places clean. On October 2, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister began the “Swachh Bharat” programme to offer sanitation amenities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and appropriate drinking water supplies. Teachers and children in schools are actively participating in the ‘Clean India Campaign’ with zeal and excitement. Good health ensures a healthy mind, which leads to better overall productivity, higher living standards, and economic development. It will improve India’s international standing. As a result, a clean environment is a green environment with fewer illnesses. Thus, cleanliness is defined as a symbol of mental purity. Thank you very much.
You are Sahil/Sanya, the school’s Head Girl/Head Boy. You are greatly troubled by the increasing instances of aggressive behaviour among your students. You decide to speak about it during the morning assembly. Create a speech about “School Discipline.” (150 – 200 words)
INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS, Good morning to everyone present. Today, I, Sahil/Sanya, your head boy/girl, am here to shed light on the serious topic of “Increased Indiscipline in Schools.” It has been reported that the frequency of fights and incidences of bullying in our school has increased dramatically in the previous several months. It has come to light that instructor disobedience, bullying, confrontations with students, truancy, and insults are becoming more widespread. Furthermore, there have been reports of parents noticing a shift in their children’s attitudes. As a result, many children are suffering emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The impact of this mindset on children at a young age is devastating and irreversible. Not to mention the harm done to the school’s property. Theft of chalk, scribbling on desks, walls and lavatory doors, destruction of CCTV cameras and so forth. We are merely depriving ourselves of the comforts granted to us by doing so. Following numerous meetings, it was determined that the main reasons for the problem were a lack of sufficient guidance, excessive use of social media, and peer pressure. The council is working to make things better. Everyone is required to take life skills classes. Counselling, motivating, and instilling friendly ideals will be part of the curriculum. Seminars for parents and students will be held on a regular basis. A counsellor is being made available to help you all discuss your sentiments, grudges, and personal problems. We are doing everything we can and expect you to do the same. So, let us work together to create an environment in which we encourage, motivate, assist, and be nice to one another because we are good and civilised humans capable of a great deal of love. Thank you very much.
The current increase in incidences of violent student misbehaviour is cause for alarm for everyone. Students who learn how to manage their anger can help to alleviate the situation. Write a 150-200-word speech about the topic to be delivered at the school’s morning assembly. (10)
HOW TO CONTROL ANGER Honourable Principal, Respected Teachers, and Dear Friends, I’d like to share a few “Ways to Manage Anger” with you today. The growing intolerance among the younger generation, which is resulting in violence against teachers, is cause for severe concern. The guru-shishya parampara is losing its lustre. Aggressive behaviour in students can be provoked by a variety of factors, including self-defence, stressful circumstances, over-stimulation, or a lack of adult supervision. It has become imperative to address the situation. Life skills workshops will be included in the curriculum. Teachers should be trained to deal with such stubborn and confrontational behaviours. Meditation and deep breathing are very beneficial and should be practised every morning. Students should be taught to count to ten before reacting angrily. Sessions on anger control and its importance must also be held. Remember that Anger is one letter away from danger. It becomes much more crucial to be able to control one’s rage. It’s never too late to start, as a wise man once said. “Every minute you stay angry, you lose sixty seconds of peace of mind.” Thank you!
The growing concern about the lack of physical activity among students is a matter of great importance. Encouraging students to participate in sports and other physical activities can contribute significantly to their health and well-being. Write a speech on this topic to be delivered at your school’s morning assembly.
Good morning, respected principal mam, teachers, and my fellow students. Today, I stand in front of you to talk about something that energizes and unites us: sports. Whether it’s table tennis, volleyball, cricket, football, or a casual game of badminton, sports bring people together like nothing else. Friends quickly divide in teams to compete against each other and win. In this way, sports are not just about competition. Instead, they teach us the value of teamwork and discipline, some skills we need in every area of life
. Playig sports help us indulge in physical activity alongside strengthening our minds. Playing sports is fun too! It’s a chance to take a break from books and screens and bond with friends. Above all, sports teach us to accept failure with grace. Losing a match is tough, but it prepares us to handle setbacks and bounce back stronger.
So, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting, dive into the world of sports. It’s not just a game—it’s a life lesson.
Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have A Dream’ is one of his most famous speeches. Its impact has lasted through generations. The speech is written by utilising the techniques above. Here are some examples:
“still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination” – emotive Language
“In a sense, we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check” – personalising the speech
“to stand up for freedom together” – a call to action.
Importantly, this is an example of how the listener comes first while drafting a speech. The language chosen appeals to a specific sort of audience and was widely utilised in 1963 when the speech was delivered.
Selecting the right topic is essential for engaging and impactful speech writing. To assist you we have given a wide range of speech writing topics below, covering various topics, from social issues to personal experiences.
