Solved example( DEBATE):

BRAIN DRAIN IS NOT ABANE FOR DEVELOPING COUNTY LIKE INDIA (AGAINST)

Honorable Judges, my worthy opponents and dear students,

Today I, Abha of class XII, will speak against the motion," "Brain drain is not bane for a developing country like India."

I would like to draw the attention of my worthy opponents to the fact that India is a developing nation and a lot of money is spent on the education and paid as subsidies to the students of Engineering and Medical but it is ironical that these students after completion of their studies instead of serving their Motherland go away to foreign countries to earn more money. This is indeed a great national loss because the expense incurred on their education comes from the taxes submitted by the common people. The present statistical data reveals the fact the number of students leaving the country and going abroad has nearly doubled. I'm sure and confident that my honorable opponents will do some souls searching!

Those in favour of the motion have highlighted the view that brain drain has brought prestige to the Nation, I strongly disagree, in my opinion brain drain is a great loss of talent of our Nation .Had these talented Engineers Doctors stayed behind the people of our Motherland would have benefitted immensely, the day would not be far when she would once again be called the "Golden Bird".

The drifting away of the intelligent people has left our country poor and benefitted another country. To conclude I would once again firmly say that Brain drain is a bane for a developing country like India.

SOLVED EXAMPLE-SPEECH:

Q1.Write a speech in 150-200 words on the topic, "Discipline shapes the future of a student. "It is to be delivered in the morning assembly. You are Karuna/Karan. 

Respected Principal, teachers, and dear friends,

Today I, Karuna, am here to express my views on, , "Discipline shapes the future of a student."

We are all aware of the fact that Discipline is the key to success. Discipline should be inculcated early in life. If we are disciplined in life we inculcate a sense of duty and obedience. Let me give you an example to prove my point, every day we are assigned homework by our teachers, if we are disciplined we complete the work within the stipulated time we get the appreciation of our teachers and also do well in the examinations.
