Speech Writing
TEACHER: TARIQ AHMAD MALIK
Speeches are always well-planned,
well organized and presentable items of writing. In class 10th, you
are given the outline, and this makes your problem easy. You only need to organize
the outline properly. The outline has to be supported by your deep
understanding of the content. You must be capable of building threads of ideas
with your ready instrument of coherence (unity achieved in terms of ideas) and
cohesion (unity achieved in terms of language). Your appropriate style of
solution and the tone of voice determine the standard of your speech. So never
dream to go to the extent of your thought while developing a speech.

(I).Arjuman of class 10th,
of HSS Behrampora prepares a speech on world book day for the morning assembly.
She makes outline as given below.
Books are full of wisdom. Available at libraries. Books enrich our knowledge,
update us, and come to our rescue when we feel bored. Easily affordable at book shops. Keep the record of civilization. Guarantee a better future,
excites us to do extraordinary things. Internet is no match to good
books. |
If you by yourself are Arjuman,
how will you prepare the content of the speech for morning assembly?
Ans. Worthy principal, respected
teachers, my dear brothers and sisters, I am Arjuman of class 10th enjoying
the privilege to speak before you on the topic “importance of books”.
Respected listeners: Books
are one of the most valuable inventions of man. There is no denying of the fact
that books are life and breathe for a wise and enterprising man to rise to the
cherished heights. Every extraordinary person is, by one way or the other,
indebted to the wisdom of books. People who have burnt mid night oil on books
have finally worked wonders.
Respected listeners: Can we
ever think of qualifying IAS, KAS, AIEEE, MBBS AIEEE and other prestigious
examinations without the support of books. Can we afford to pass the board
examination without having books close to our breasts? Can we afford to
underestimate the role of books in our career building? No, my respected
listeners, we cant- because for reaching the cherished heights we need strength
and that strength lies in the books.
Respected listeners: Books speak to me. They know nothing but wisdom. They are the
custodians of extraordinary human endeavour, be it science, art, literature or
other disciplines. The great man who ever lived in the world are been breathing
deep in the books. The best thing about books is that they are affordable as
well as easily available everywhere. They never cease to enrich the knowledge
and update their beholder.
Listeners, whenever
we feel bored, books come to our rescue. When we are isolated books extend
their sweet company. They provide food to our leisure. They recreate us. They
give us the feel of past civilizations. They help us relish the best literature
write-ups. They make us embrace good qualities of diverse civilizations and
rise to the extraordinary heights.
Respected listeners, why do
we compare book reading to the internet surfing. They have no match. Books are
time tested where as internet content may or may not be trustworthy. Books
guarantee the single mindedness f the reader whereas internet makes the reader
a rambler. So, dear listeners in order to suck the nector of knowledge to the
utmost we have to have books most dear to all the muses. It is here where the
secret of our better career and idealistic life lies.
Thanks.

Listeners: Being the only son to

admit him in one of the finest schools of the world. Thus he found himself
getting admitted in Horrow School of England. After completing his schooling,
Pt. Nehru was sent to Trinity College Cambridge to complete his law degree. It

3.Karan a
student of 10th class has to take part in a speech competition
on the topic non-violence: a relevant concept even today. Write a speech for
him entitled “Gandhiji- my favourite leader”. Use the outline given below for
developing the speech.
|
Gandhiji-My Favourite Leader Born on 2nd Oct,
1869 at porbander, Gujarat. Did law degree in England. Practised law in South Africa. Returned to India. Take active part in the freedom
struggle of India. Newer used violent means to free
his motherland. Propounded non-violence. Forced the British to quit
India. |
“Speech”
Worthy guest of honour, respected
teachers, dear brothers and sisters, I am Karan from HSS Behrampora. I am going
to tell you something about the topic “Gandhi-My Favourite Leader”.
Listeners:- it was
the bright and beautiful morning of October,2nd, 1869,that the sun
at porbander Gujarat opened its eye to see the apostle of truth and
non-violence getting birth in a simple family, who could not have ever thought
that the child would grow to such heights which could make all other heights seen
negligible. This child was none other but Gandhi.
Listeners, Gandhi
was not any extraordinary soul at school. When after graduating he was sent to
England for pursuing degree in law he was again proven an average student. It
was only when he went South Africa that the stream of consciousness was aroused
in law. He could not bear the plight of Indian labourers in South Africa. He
fought for their rights at foreign soil and showed his countrymen a direction
to resist oppression.
Listeners, Gandhiji,
returned India in 1915 but assumed the leadership of Indian National Congress
in 1921.during this time he understood the pros and cons of freedom struggle
harboured by Indian masses. Gandhiji developed a course of actions
based
upon the principal and non-violence. And he named it as Satyagrah. This
Satyagrah promoted on violence and civil disobedience as the method of
resistance. Gandhiji was never titled towards using violent means to free his
motherland from foreign occupation. His salt Satyagrah, daandi march, swadeshi
movement, quit India movement etc were fully conceived with the principles of
non violence.
Listeners: Gandhiji
was arrested many times for harboring the honest cause of independence. But he
did never yield his passive resistance has great relevance even today. The
world needs to embrace Gandhian philosophy move ahead. Peace has always
relevance and disputes can always be settled by peaceful means. If Gandhiji can
draw away Britishers from Indian soil that too with his non violent means why
cant we? So, my dear listeners, we must use Gandhian way of resistance to
procure peace and stability for our people. (Thanks)
(iv) Ishrat is the
student of HSS Seelu. She has to participate in the Iqbal day celebrations. She
makes the below outline and develops the speech for the occasion. Reproduce the
speech “Iqbal- My Favourite Poet” for Ishrat.
|
Iqbal-
My Favourite Poet Born in 1873 in Sialkot Lahore. Learnt Urdu, Persian and English
at school. Graduated from Govt. College
Lahore. Went Cambridge for further studies. Worked as lecturer of history,
philosophy and English. Received PhD degree from Munich
University Germany. Wrote much poetic collections. Awarded with knight hood in
1922. Died in 1938. |
Ans. “Speech”
Worthy judges of the
occasion, respected teachers and dear fellow students I am “Ishrat” from HS
Seelu enjoying my privilege to speak on the topic “Iqbal My Favourite Poet”.
Listeners: the
poet of the East, as Iqbal is called was born on Feb, 22, 1873 in Sialkot
Pakistan. At Skotch Mission School Sialkot Iqbal showed his true colours by
mastering several languages at early age besides consolidating his skill of
writing prose and poetry. Dear listeners : after getting groomed at the hands
of Molvi Gh. Hassan. Iqbal had an equally proficient teacher at Govt. College
Lahore. It was none other than Professor Arnold who inspired Iqbal very much
and Iqbal graduated with distinction and was conferred upon two gold medals. He
studied further and did masters degree in philosophy. His scholarly aptitude
made the govt. Appoint him as the lecturer of history and philosophy in the
Oriental College Lahore and later Assistant Professor at Govt. College Lahore.
Listeners: Iqbal’s thirst for knowledge took him to Cambridge was he attended a
course of lectures on philosophy by Mc Taggard at Trinity College. A high
degree of philosophy was conferred on him by this college. Here again he felt
the thirst of knowledge and completed a valuable thesis on Persian mysticism
and received the degree of PhD from the university of Munich Germany in 1908.
On his return from Germany Iqbal passed his law examination at Lincoln’s Inn.
Listeners: Iqbal as I proclaimed
earlier is my favourite poet. His poetry has a magical rhythm, a metaphorical
language and a universal message. His poetry inculcates human values, religious
mindset and patriotic feelings. His every poetic collection is fantastic.
Bangi-Dara, Bali-Gabriel,Zarbi-Kaleem,Trumgani-Hijar etc have tremendous
readership all over the world. Iqbal’s poetry strikes hard on ignorance and
inaction, and retains tremendous aesthetic taste simultaneously.
Listeners: On the death of Queen Victoria, Iqbal wrote a pathetic poem which was
widely appreciated in all quarters,. Consequently as an appreciation, the Govt.
conferred knighthood upon Iqbal in 1922.
Listeners: this great poet, philosopher and saint breathed his last on 21of April,
1938. By all means Iqbal left us on that day. But the great poet is survived by
his poetry which is no less than the Talisman for the humanity. (Thanks)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worthy headmaster, respected teachers, dear
brothers and sisters. I am Asmat from 10th A, and today on this morning
assembly show, i want to deliver a short speech on the topic "National
Integration".
Listeners: National Integration is the feeling
of togetherness of the people of a nation while cutting across their religious
or linguistic lines. Despite practicing different beliefs, languages or
cultures, when people of the nation place the integrity of their nation first
as their pious collective cause, we call it national integration.
Listeners: In a nation where people
invariably love their motherland, we
find the telling example of unity in diversity. Such nations are hard to be
subdued.
Listeners: In the nation like ours we find that
the soldiers on the border are tied in different religious, linguistic, social
and cultural belief system, but they guard the borders with equal loyalty
giving the enemies sleepless nights. This rainbow gathering of soldiers are
always ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the nation.
Listeners: All the people of the nation must show
mutual respect and tolerance towards each other. In order to promote communal
harmony, they ought to celebrate the holidays of every religion and exchange
gifts on these auspicious occasions of celebrations. This will go a long way in
making the nation strong.
Listeners: Students must be taught the nation's
history in-depth. They must be told how much price the nation has paid to get
the nation freed from the imperialists. They must be told the stories of the
heroes of the freedom struggle. Students must be taught to respect the national
symbols like those of national anthem, national flag, national emblem and the
the law of their motherland. Love for the sovereignty of the nation must spring
from the heart of every student.
Listeners: National integration is the need of the
hour. We must inculcate the habit of sharing and caring among the people of
different creeds. Five fingers of the hand when join, they help the boxing
champions knock down their rivals. So, listeners, lets work together for
tasting the welcome fruits of time proven wisdom 'Union is Strength', and build
our nation on modern lines.
Thanks.

Speech: Eve Teasing on public
places.
By: Tariq Ahmad Malik
Master GHS Dangiwacha.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worthy guest of honour, respected teachers,
dear brothers and sisters. I am Shafia, a class 10th student from Govt. Girls
High School Dangiwacha. I want to speak something on the given topic "Eve
Teasing On Public Places".
Listeners: I am one of the millions of daughters
of Mother Eve. Like millions of other daughters of Eve, i also opened my eyes in a male dominated
society. I, as well as my sisters are teased at every public place for unknown
reasons. Every were we find lustful eyes awaiting us.
Listeners: we, the girls of this nation are harassed
everywhere; be it the streets, the bus stands, or the public parks, we always
find unwanted and immoral comments being hurled upon us everywhere. Wolf
whistling and cat calling has now turned into a routine for these wayward
Romeos.
Listeners: woman folk is often blamed that they provoke males by wearing
scanty clothes. Does it give the men license to harass the women. In our male
dominated society even the women wearing burka are not spared from eve teasing.
Listeners: society is needed to be corrected on
ethical lines. It is the duty of the parents,
the teachers, and the religious
scholars to inculcate moral values in the youth. The youth are needed to be
motivated to respect the women folk. The girls are also needed to be empowered
so that they may not fall easy victims of eve teasing.
Listeners: the need of the hour is to bring the
crime of Eve Teasing under the domain of the law. Severe punishments are needed
to be put in place for those who harass
the women unnecessarily.
Listeners: women should also work for making
their body strong enough to resist this crime. They should take daily
exercises, do jogging, learn martial arts, and keep calling the police in time
of need. Using all these possible measures, it is expected that the crime of
eve teasing could be brought to the
minimum.
Thank.

" The Role The Youth In The Modern J&K"
Class 10th speech
By: Tariq Ahmad Malik
Master GHS Dangiwacha
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Worthy guest of honor, respected
teachers, my dear brothers and sisters, i am Bisma Shiekh from GHS Dangiwacha;
and the topic of my speech is
Listeners: The Youth are the real asset
of every nation. They are the pride of the nation. They lead the nation towards
unprecedented heights.
Listeners: The role of the youth in modern
j&k is tremendous. Since They are invariably well educated, They know what
their nation expects from them. They are well aware of the potential of human
capital of j&k. They have the knowledge of the gilt-edged sectors of the
state economy.Thus they have a clear vision of the modern j&k.
Listeners: The youth of this state are full of
innovative ideas. They know how to bring strong opinions to the table. They are
capable of bringing positive changes in the working system of the state.
Listeners: The youth of j&k have got hot
blood, and when it gets stirred up they fight any force whether it be
corruption, black marketing, injustice or undesired social traditions. In its
youth modern j&k finds a ray of hope.
Listeners: Kashmiri youth have always
proven that they can not afford to be sick of being the victim all the time.
They know that it is necessary, some times, for peace lovers to lose patience
if they are poked too long. In love the are invariably the shade of the Chinar
but in anger the ember of the same.
Listeners: The youth of j&k know how to use
the power of the fertile brains to bring positive changes in the social set up.
They are determined to bring their
motherland out of all possible troubles.
Listeners: Kashmiri youth have proven that they
possess the best brains. They get a sizeable share of the prestegious IAS quota
every year. In sports kashmiris know how to produce Tajamul Islam and Hashim in
the tender age. The youth are proving their mettle in MNC's and thus helping
the state to maintain per-capita income two folds than that of the national
averages.
Listeners: The need of the hour is that the youth
of the state create consensus that the battle of the pride is won only when the
hearts are allowed to dream of love rather than of hatred. They need to guide
the oldies that Kashmir needs world class scientists, technocrats,
philosophers, statesmen and the economists to make her voice audible in the world.
Lets hope we will wake up to this reality.
Thanks.
Speech on –“ Environmental pollution”
By: Tariq Ahmad Malik(BHS chountiwari)
Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari
Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I
am going to deliver a short speech on the topic “Environmental pollution ”
Listeners: Cleanliness is next to godliness while
as pollution is a terrible enemy to mankind.Man has been, from the very
beginning, using food, water and air for his survival. These things do support
life invariably, provided they are hygienic. Today we find most of our water
bodies polluted. We dread to breathe air and fear to eat fruits, vegetable, and
sea products. Who has changed the composition of these life supporting
materials? The answer is very much known to us.
Listeners: It is our unfailing greed for fortune
making that has made this planet hazardous. If the water of our water bodies is
virtually poison whom should you blame? Is it the barbaric animals like lions,
bears and pythons who have ravaged our water reservoirs . No, it is but the
civilized man of the present day who works constantly for the destruction of
this planet. It must not be a surprise if World War 3rd is waged in the name of
water because we have polluted it to the core.
Listeners: Today’s civilized man feels no shame
while throwing both industrial refuse and house refuse in water bodies. Today’s
civilized man has no regrets while allowing his industries, factories, and
vehicles emit poisonous smoke and pollute the air. He has no regrets to dump
plastic products in corn fields. He has no regrets that ozone layers is
depleted by his efforts. He has no regrets that concentration of carbon
compounds in on the rise .He, instead of this, keeps on eroding the
forests from the planet.
Listeners: Man has, because of his economic
prospects encouraged global warming, caused acid rains, depleted ozone layer.
He alone is the cause of destruction of this planet and alone has to explore
the remedy. So, listeners ,lets unite and work for making our environment
pollution free by treating industrial refuse scientifically. Lets plant more
and more trees. Lets unite in the name of making this earth a safer
planet.(thanks).
Speech on –“Evils Of
Dowry”
By:
Tariq Ahmad Malik(BHS chountiwari)
Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari
Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I
am going to deliver a short speech on the topic “Evils Of Dowry”
Listeners: Dowry
is such an evil that has eroded the fabric of Indian society to its core. Due
to this menace the girls from poor families alone are compelled to suffer the
burns. Their parents fail to amass the wealth to be passed over to the grooms.
In many cases girls from this section of the society remain unmarried for the
whole life.
Liteners: Sometimes
,owing to the social pressure, some grooms remain from staking the claim for
dowry, and bring home the brides with out it. Such grooms ,soon after the
wedding, start their high handedness, and pressurize their spouses to
bring dowry.Such girls are brutally tortured, and in many cases compelled to
commit suicide.
Listeners: In the
country where people perform the puja of Durga, Sita ,Radha and Yashuda,but
they don’t shy away from burning alive the daughters of the poor families in
the name of dowry.
Listeners: Among
scores of the evils prevalent in India, murder in the name of dowry is the
worst. And it is the youth who have kept a price tag on their heads.The biggest
irony of Indian society is that the student in IAS exam writes a thought
provoking essay on the topic “ Evils Of Dowry”, qualifies the exam, and becomes
IAS officer, and when he is to be married ,he demands the dowry of one
crore rupees.
Listeners: It is the youth of this country who has to change himself for the good
of the society. Youth need to come forward and set precedence by performing
simple marriages. They have to float the message that how sheer injustice it is
to demand from a father both his beloved daughter as well as property. Can’t
the education given to the daughters suffice for their dowry. So,dear
listeners, Lets unite to make the society groom on moral values. The law
enforcing agencies have also a dominant role to play in this direction. Lets
hope our society awakens to the seriousness of this menace. (thanks).

Speech on “
Disadvantages of Mobile Phone for Students”
By: Tariq Ahmad
Malik(Master BHS Chountiwari Machel)
Worthy headmaster BHS Chountiwari
Machel, Respected teachers, dear brothers and sisters- Asalaam alikum. Today I
am going to deliver a short speech on the topic-“ Disadvantages of Mobile Phone
for Students ”
Listeners: Every scientific invention is a boon for mankind provided it is kept
in safe hands. Mobile phone is no exception to it. Students can use this great
invention for their benefit, but they make its use to shatter their whole
preference list.While at schools ,students are expected to ensure the progress
in their health, career , and character simultaneously. This
progress can only be expected when students hold dear books, teachers, and
libraries. Alas! Today’s students are allured towards other things which bar
them from keeping close to their ambition.
Listeners: Once
the students make room in their bags for mobile phones, all the equations are
shattered .Instead of keeping on books, and pondering for comprehension,
students keep on pondering how to write comments on whatsup, how to update
status on face book, which photo to upload, and which friends to tag in
their status. When this is the reality on ground, where from the students may
find time to complete homework, compile assignments, and solve mathematical
calculations.
Listeners: How can
the students safeguard their character when they line up their emotions for
caressing trash stuff? How come their career be bright when they often postpone
their studies, and while away time on mobile phones? There is no denying of the
fact that mobile phone has a bright side also, but student community never mind
looking that side.
Listeners: Studies
have shown that excessive use of mobile phone expose the users to the deadly
radiations prone to causing cancers. Thus the student community must wakeup to
this reality by having self retrospection. They must say a flat “NO” to mobile
culture .Doing this will be the sole antidote for the safety of their health,
career, and character. (thanks).
