be a more severe disadvantage than traditional illiteracy.

I appreciate your honesty. If there are specific areas where I can improve, I'd love to know so I can work on them.

The Age of the Internet
Good morning, everyone.
Today, I would like to talk to you about the age of the internet, the era we are living in right now. The internet is a global
network of computers and devices that allows us to communicate, access, and share information, and perform various tasks
online. The internet has revolutionised every aspect of our lives, such as education, business, entertainment, health, and social
interaction. The internet has also brought many benefits and opportunities, such as connecting with people from different
cultures, learning new skills, finding new solutions, and creating new possibilities. However, the internet also has some
challenges and risks, such as cybercrime, privacy, misinformation, and addiction. Therefore, we need to be aware and
responsible for how we use the internet, and how it affects us and others. The internet is a powerful and amazing tool, but we
must use it wisely and ethically.
In closing, as we navigate the vast landscapes of the internet, let us remember that its power lies not just in connectivity but in
the choices we make. Let us use this incredible tool to build bridges, foster understanding, and create a digital world that reflects
the best of humanity. The age of the internet is a chapter still being written, and each of us holds a pen. Let's write a story of
wisdom, empathy, and innovation that future generations will look back on with admiration.

and a habit for me. I love reading books because they enrich my mind, broaden my horizons, and inspire my imagination.
Reading books allows me to explore different worlds, cultures, and perspectives, and to learn from the experiences and wisdom
of others. Reading books also helps me to improve my language, vocabulary, and critical thinking skills, and to develop my
creativity and curiosity. Reading books is a source of joy, relaxation, and satisfaction for me. I read books of various genres and
topics, such as fiction, non-fiction, biography, history, science, and philosophy. Reading books is a wonderful and rewarding
hobby that I recommend to everyone.
As I conclude, I encourage each of you to find that hobby, that passion, which sparks joy in your heart. In the tapestry of life,
hobbies are the vibrant threads that add colour and richness. Whether it's reading, painting, or any other pursuit, let your hobbies

My Favourite Sport
Greetings, everyone.
I am here to tell you about my favourite sport, which is badminton. Badminton is a racket sport that is played by two or four
players on a court divided by a net. The players use rackets to hit a shuttlecock back and forth over the net, trying to score
points by making the shuttlecock land in the opponent's court. Badminton is a fun and exciting sport that requires speed, agility,
strength, and strategy. Badminton is also a healthy and beneficial sport that improves my physical fitness, mental alertness, and
social skills. Badminton is a sport that I enjoy playing and watching, as it challenges me and entertains me. Badminton is a sport
that I love and appreciate.
In the game of life, let us remember the lessons of badminton – the importance of agility, strategy, and fair play. As we face our
challenges, may we approach them with the same determination and enthusiasm that we bring to the badminton court?
Badminton is more than a sport; it's a metaphor for the journey we undertake, where each move counts, and the pursuit of
excellence is a reward in itself.
My sincere thanks to everyone for giving me this opportunity to speak. All the best for your day ahead.

My Favourite Destination
Good day, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about my favourite destination, which is Switzerland. Switzerland is a beautiful and scenic country in
Europe that is famous for its mountains, lakes, and chocolates. Switzerland is a destination that I have always dreamed of
visiting, and I was lucky enough to do so last year. Switzerland is a destination that amazed me and delighted me, as I witnessed
its natural beauty, cultural diversity, and historical charm. Switzerland is a destination that offers me many attractions and
activities, such as hiking, skiing, boating, and sightseeing. Switzerland is a destination that I will never forget and always
cherish.
Switzerland, with its breathtaking landscapes, is a reminder that life's journey is as important as the destination. As we navigate
our paths, let's appreciate the beauty in each step and the lessons in every turn. Switzerland is not just a place on the map; it's a
state of mind-a reminder to savour the journey, embrace the unexpected, and find joy in the scenic detours.

My Favourite Subject
Hello, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about my favourite subject, which is mathematics. Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes,
patterns, and logic, and their applications in various fields and disciplines. Mathematics is a subject that I have always liked and
excelled at since I was a child. Mathematics is a subject that fascinates me and challenges me, as I discover its concepts,
principles, and methods. Mathematics is a subject that helps me to improve my analytical, problem-solving, and reasoning
skills, and to appreciate the beauty and elegance of its structures and systems. Mathematics is a subject that I enjoy learning and
practising, as it stimulates my mind and satisfies my curiosity. Mathematics is a subject that I respect and admire.
In the grand equation of life, may we all find the joy, beauty, and elegance that mathematics imparts. Let the principles of
mathematics guide us in solving the problems we encounter, appreciating the patterns that unfold, and understanding that, much
like in mathematics, the solutions we seek often reveal themselves when approached with patience, curiosity, and a touch of
creativity.

A Visit to the Zoo
Good afternoon, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about a visit to the zoo, which I made last week with my family. A visit to the zoo is an educational and
entertaining experience that allows us to see and learn about various animals and their habitats. A visit to the zoo is also a fun
experience that enables us to spend quality time with our loved ones and create memorable moments. A visit to the zoo is an
eye-opening and enlightening experience that makes us aware and appreciative of the diversity and beauty of nature, and the
importance of conservation and protection of wildlife. A visit to the zoo is an experience that I recommend to everyone,
especially children, as it enriches our knowledge, interest, and respect for animals and the environment.

kingdom. Just as every species plays a vital role in the ecosystem, so do each of us contribute to the symphony of life. Let's be
stewards of our planet, protecting the diversity that makes our world extraordinary.

The Importance of Hygiene
Good evening, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about the importance of hygiene, which is the practice of keeping ourselves and our surroundings clean
and healthy. Hygiene is important for many reasons, such as preventing diseases, infections, and allergies, enhancing our
appearance and confidence, and improving our comfort and well-being. Hygiene is also important for our social and
professional relationships, as it shows our respect and consideration for ourselves and others. Hygiene is not complicated, but it
requires our awareness and responsibility. Hygiene involves simple and regular habits, such as washing our hands, brushing our
teeth, bathing, grooming, and cleaning our homes and workplaces. Hygiene is a matter of personal and public health and a sign
of civilization and culture.
The Importance of Hygiene In the daily rituals of cleanliness, we find not just a routine but a reflection of our respect for
ourselves and others. As we go forth, let hygiene be more than a habit; let it be a testament to our commitment to well-being, a
symbol of the civilized society we aspire to be.
I appreciate your time and engagement. May the rest of your day be filled with positivity.
8.
Covid19-pandemic
Good day, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about the COVID-19 pandemic, which is the global outbreak of a new and deadly virus that has affected
millions of people and caused thousands of deaths around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic is a serious and unprecedented
crisis that has posed many challenges and threats to our health, economy, and society. The COVID-19 pandemic is also a
collective and urgent problem that requires our cooperation and solidarity to overcome and recover from. The Covid19pandemic is not hopeless or helpless, but it demands our awareness and action. The COVID-19 pandemic can be controlled and
contained, if we follow the guidelines and precautions issued by the authorities and experts, such as wearing masks, maintaining
social distance, and getting vaccinated. The COVID-19 pandemic can be defeated and overcome, if we support and care for
each other, and work together as a global community.
The fight against the pandemic is not just a battle against a virus; it's a testament to human resilience, solidarity, and the
capacity for collective action. Let's continue to face this challenge united, for in our shared efforts lies the strength to overcome
any adversity and build a future that is safer, healthier, and more compassionate.
I am grateful for this opportunity. Thank you all.
9.
Child Labour-A Curse in India
Good morning, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about child labour, a curse in India, which is the practice of employing children below the age of 14 in
various sectors and industries, such as agriculture, mining, construction, and manufacturing. Child labour is a curse in India
because it deprives children of their rights, dignity, and opportunities. Child labour is a curse in India because it exploits
children of their innocence, health, and education. Child labour is a curse in India because it harms children of their future,
potential, and dreams. Child labour is a curse in India because it violates the laws, values, and morals of our country and
humanity. Child labour is a curse in India, that needs to be eradicated and eliminated, by raising awareness, enforcing
regulations, and providing alternatives and assistance to the children and their families.
As we confront the curse of child labour, let us pledge to be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. In our
collective efforts to eradicate this blight, may we create a society where every child is free to dream, learn, and grow,
unburdened by the shackles of exploitation.
I extend my heartfelt thanks for your time and attention. Wishing you a day filled with inspiration and accomplishment.

Independence Day
Good afternoon, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about Independence Day, which is the national holiday that commemorates the anniversary of India's

history, culture, and achievements of our country and its people. Independence Day is also a solemn and grateful occasion that
honours the sacrifices, struggles, and contributions of our freedom fighters and leaders, who fought and died for our liberty and
dignity. Independence Day is also a hopeful and inspiring occasion that motivates us to uphold the values, ideals, and spirit of

our constitution and democracy, and to work for the progress, unity, and peace of our nation and the world. Independence Day

Mother's Day
Ladies and gentlemen,

the calendar; it's a heartfelt recognition of the selfless love, sacrifices, and boundless support that mothers provide. It's a day to
express gratitude for the countless meals prepared, the comforting words spoken, and the unwavering encouragement given.

12.
Value of Time
Ladies and gentlemen,
Time is a currency we all possess, and its value cannot be overstated. Each passing moment is an opportunity, a chance to learn,
grow, and make a difference. The value of time lies not in its quantity but in how we utilize it. Time management is not merely
a skill; it's a philosophy that guides us to prioritise, focus, and make intentional choices. As we navigate the intricacies of our
daily lives, let's recognize the profound impact of time on our personal and professional development. Let's strive to make every
second count, for once time slips away, it becomes an irreplaceable part of our history.
Time, once gone, is an irreplaceable treasure. Let us not merely spend it but invest it wisely in pursuits that bring joy, growth,
and fulfilment. In the currency of time, may we find the wealth of experiences that make our lives truly rich.
These issues are close to my heart, and I hope my words resonate with some of you. Thank you for being present in this
speech, and for allowing us to learn from each other's perspectives.
13.
Effects of Social Media
Good day, everyone.
In our interconnected world, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. While it has facilitated global
communication and information sharing, it comes with its set of challenges. The effects of social media are profound,
influencing our perspectives, behaviours, and even mental health. The curated nature of online profiles can lead to unrealistic
standards and social comparison. Moreover, the rapid spread of misinformation poses a threat to societal well-being. As
responsible digital citizens, it's crucial to be mindful of our online interactions, promote positive engagement, and use social
media as a tool for connection and positive change.
As we navigate the digital landscape, let us be architects of a positive online world. The effects of social media, both positive
and negative, are shaped by our choices. Let us choose empathy over judgment, understanding over assumption, and connection
over division.
Today, I plant a seed, but it thrives only through your dedicated efforts. Take one small step toward the right use of SM, and
together, we can cultivate a brighter future. Thank you, and let's get growing!
14.
Impact of Pollution on the Environment
Ladies and gentlemen,
The impact of pollution on our environment is a critical issue that demands our attention. From air pollution to plastic waste,
human activities are jeopardizing the delicate balance of our ecosystems. The consequences extend beyond the natural world to
affect human health, biodiversity, and the sustainability of our planet. It's time for collective action to address this
environmental crisis. We must adopt sustainable practices, advocate for cleaner technologies, and promote environmental
conservation. The impact of pollution is not confined to distant lands; it affects us all. Let's stand together as stewards of the
Earth, committed to preserving it for current and future generations.

thrives.

Communication is Life
Good day, everyone.
Communication is the heartbeat of human interaction, the fabric that weaves us together in the tapestry of society. It extends
beyond words to include gestures, expressions, and the unspoken language of emotions. Effective communication builds
bridges, fosters understanding, and cultivates meaningful connections. It is the essence of relationships, both personal and
professional, enabling collaboration, innovation, and shared experiences. As we navigate the diverse landscapes of
communication, from face-to-face interactions to digital platforms, let's recognize its dynamic nature and power. Let's strive to
be not just speakers but empathetic listeners, for communication is not just a skill; it is the essence of life itself.
In the symphony of human interaction, let our communication be a melody that harmonizes, resonates, and connects. Beyond
words, may our gestures, expressions, and intentions convey a language of understanding, empathy, and unity. As we navigate
the diverse landscapes of communication, may our conversations be a reflection of the best in humanity.

same for you. Thank you, and have a fantastic day.

The spectre of global warming looms large, presenting an urgent call to action for all inhabitants of our planet. The rise in
average temperatures, melting ice caps, and extreme weather events are stark reminders of the impact of human activities on the
climate. The consequences of inaction are dire, affecting not only the environment but also the livelihoods and well-being of
communities worldwide. It's time for a collective response—a commitment to sustainable practices, renewable energy sources,
and international cooperation. The fight against global warming is not just an environmental cause; it is a moral imperative and
a pledge to safeguard the Earth for current and future generations.

The Impact of Social Media on Teenagers
Good morning, everyone.
Today, I would like to talk to you about the impact of social media on teenagers, which is the effect and influence of the online
platforms and networks that allow us to communicate, share, and interact with others, using the internet and digital devices.
Social media has a positive and negative impact on teenagers, depending on how we use it and how it affects us. Social media
has a positive impact on teenagers because it helps us to connect with our friends and family, to express ourselves and our
opinions, and to learn and discover new things. Social media hurts teenagers because it exposes us to cyberbullying, fake news,
and addiction, and it affects our self-esteem, privacy, and mental health. Social media is a part of our lives, but we have to be
careful and responsible for how we use it and how it affects us.
In conclusion, let us remember that the impact of social media on teenagers is a double-edged sword—a tool that can connect us
or divide us, uplift us or drag us down. As we navigate the digital landscape, let mindfulness be our guide. It's not just about the
quantity of our online connections but the quality of our digital experiences. In balancing the positive and negative aspects, may
we harness the potential of social media to foster genuine connections, empower our voices, and shape a future where the online
world mirrors the best of humanity.
I want to thank you all for being here and for listening to what I have to say. You have shown me your curiosity and
openness, and I hope I have sparked some ideas and insights in you. Thank you, and have a fabulous day.

Climate Change: A Call to Action
Good afternoon, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about climate change, a call to action, which is the phenomenon and the challenge of the global rise in
temperature and the alteration in weather patterns, caused by the increase in greenhouse gas emissions, due to human activities.
Climate change is a serious and urgent problem, that affects the environment and the society, in various ways and levels.
Climate change is a problem that threatens our survival and well-being, by causing extreme weather events, melting glaciers,
rising sea levels, loss of biodiversity, and spread of diseases. Climate change is a problem that requires our cooperation and
action, to prevent and mitigate its effects, and to adapt and cope with its consequences. Climate change is a problem that we
have to face and solve, by reducing our carbon footprint, adopting renewable energy sources, and promoting sustainable
development.
In conclusion, the call to action against climate change is not just a plea for our planet; it's a commitment to the very essence of
life. As stewards of Earth, let our actions speak louder than words. In mitigating climate change, we safeguard not only our own
existence but the legacy we leave for generations to come. Let us stand united, driven by a shared responsibility to protect and
preserve the precious gift of our planet, ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future for all.
The time for change is now. We have discussed ideas, shared perspectives, and ignited a spark. But it's an action that
transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. So, let's not just talk about change; let's be the architects of it. Together, we
can create a legacy that echoes through time.

The Role of Technology in Shaping the Future
Greetings, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about the role of technology in shaping the future, which is the function and influence of the science and
engineering that create and use machines and systems, to perform tasks and functions, that normally require human intelligence
and abilities. Technology has a positive and negative role in shaping the future, depending on how we create it and how we use
it. Technology has a positive role in shaping the future, because it enhances our productivity, efficiency, and quality, improves
our health, education, and security, and creates new opportunities and possibilities. Technology has a negative role in shaping
the future, because it displaces and replaces human labour, creates ethical, social, and legal issues, and poses potential misuse
and abuse. Technology is a powerful and influential tool, but it is not a replacement or a threat to human intelligence and
creativity.
In closing, let technology be a beacon that illuminates the path to a brighter future. As architects of innovation, we hold the
power to shape technology's impact. With responsibility as our guiding principle, let us harness its positive force—nurturing
progress, embracing ethical standards, and ensuring that technology remains a catalyst for human flourishing. In this grand
collaboration between man and machine, may our collective efforts forge a future where the synergy between technology and
humanity defines our shared destiny.
As we conclude this chapter, take a moment to reflect on the journey we've travelled together. Our shared experiences have
woven a tapestry of memories, and each thread tells a story. Let's carry these stories forward, learning and growing from
them. Our future is a canvas waiting for the strokes of our collective efforts.

maintaining a healthy and harmonious combination of our studies and our hobbies, interests, and passions. Balancing academics
and extracurricular activities is a difficult and delicate task, that requires our planning, prioritizing, and organizing, as well as
our discipline, dedication, and determination. Balancing academics and extracurricular activities is also a beneficial and
rewarding task, that enhances our learning and understanding, develops our skills and talents, and enriches our personality and
character. Balancing academics and extracurricular activities is a task that we should do and enjoy, as it adds fun and meaning
to our lives, and prepares us for our future.

The Significance of Mental Health Awareness
Good evening, everyone.
I am here to talk to you about the significance of mental health awareness, which is the recognition and understanding of the
importance and value of our psychological and emotional well-being. Mental health awareness is significant because it helps us
to identify and acknowledge our own and others' mental health issues and needs, such as stress, anxiety, depression, and
addiction. Mental health awareness is also significant because it helps us to seek and provide help and support, such as
counselling, therapy, and medication, for ourselves and others who are suffering from mental health problems. Mental health
awareness is also significant because it helps us to reduce and eliminate the stigma and discrimination that are associated with
mental health disorders, and to promote and celebrate the diversity and resilience of the human mind and spirit.
In closing, let mental health awareness be the compass that guides us through the labyrinth of our emotions. As we raise our
collective consciousness, let empathy be our ally and understanding our currency. Mental health is not a solitary journey; it's a
shared experience that binds us together. In fostering awareness, breaking stigmas, and extending support, may we create a
world where every individual's mental well-being is valued, nurtured, and celebrated.
Today, we glimpsed the future we aspire to create. It's a future where innovation knows no limits, where compassion drives
our actions, and where unity paves the way for progress. The road ahead is exciting and filled with challenges and
opportunities. Let's embrace it with open hearts and minds, knowing that together, we shape tomorrow.

significant, as the youth are the future and the hope of the nation, and they have the energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and

Hi, Ms. Bhanu, I have some doubts about the poem 'The Noble Nature.'
English Teacher :
Of course, I'd be happy to help. What specific questions do you have? Let's go through the

a person. The phrase "doth make" implies that it has a transformative effect, making a
person "better" in some way.

a thousand-page novel. This 1,000-page novel won this year's (2020) Goldsmith's Prize for breaking the norm and stretching the
novel's structure. "It's a massive achievement," one judge cried. Another judge gushed, "This gripping, hypnotic novel remakes
the novel." The novel's ambitious form initially attracted rejections until Galley Beggar eventually published it. The novel is an
interior monologue of a mother baking pies in her kitchen in Ohio. According to the author, this long, run-on-sentence novel

7 (9). Ethical Development (A brief talk)
Hello students! Let me tell you about ethical development. Ethical development refers to the process of nurturing and promoting
ethical values, principles, and behaviours in individuals and societies. It involves cultivating moral reasoning, empathy and a
sense of responsibility towards others and the environments. Ethical development is essential for fostering a just and
compassionate society where individuals make ethical decisions and take actions that consider the well-being of others.
Ethical development begins in childhood and continues throughout a person's life. It is influenced by various factors, including
upbringing, education, culture, and societal norms. Parent, teachers, and other significant people play a crucial role in shaping
ethical development of an individual. For example, Sudhakar's father was a drunkard. He caused household problems daily.
Sudhakar watched this daily and fled to friends' houses to escape. In contrast, Ranga Rao's children grew up as good citizens
since Ranga Rao was disciplined and well behaved.

20 (35). Beverages around the World
Next to water, tea is the most commonly consumed beverage in the world. This is good news because tea offers important
health benefits. Its benefits were first discovered by the Chinese Emperor Shen Nung who declared that it gave one vigour of
body, contentment of mind and determination of purpose. Today there is ample proof that tea in its many forms possesses a
number of health benefits from supporting the immune, system to reducing the risk of cancer, to helping prevent tooth decay.
What makes tea such a healthy drink? The star compounds are called catechins. Those are antioxidants, that help prevent cell
damage by harmful molecules called free radicals. Tea can be black, green and red and is derived from a warm-weather
evergreen tree known as Camelia Sinensis. The more processing, tea leaves undergo, the darker they become. Green tea is the
least processed tea. It is simply steamed quickly and offers the maximum healing powers because it isn’t fermented. It also
helps prevent tooth decay and aids weight loss.

21 (36). Culture of Nuclear Families
The culture of nuclear families is in fashion. Parents are often heard complaining about the difficulties in bringing up children
these days. Too much of freedom in demand, too much independence; overnight parties; excessive extravagance, splurging
pocket money; no time for studies and family all this is a common cry of such families. Aren’t parents, themselves, responsible
for this pitiful state? The basic need of a growing youth is the family, love, attention and bonding along with moral values. One
should not forget that ‘charity begins at home’. Independence and individuality both need to be respected, in order to maintain
the sanctity of family. Children, today are to be handled with tact in order to bridge the ever widening generation gap. Only the
reasonable demands need to be fulfilled, as there are too many expenses to be met and top many social obligations to be taken
care of by the parents. Our forefathers lived happily in joint families. Children loved to live with their cousins, learnt to adjust
within means. There was perfect harmony between the generations. There never existed the concept of old-age homes. There
was deep respect for the family elders and love, care and concern for the youngsters. Even the minor family differences were
solved amicably.
