Speech Writing CBSE Class 11 Examples

1.BASED ON VERBAL INPUT

Question 1:
The increasing amount of time spent playing indoor games has been a major cause of
decreasing the outdoor appearance of children. With this concern, write a speech to be
delivered in the morning assembly in 150-200 words. You are Parag/Pragati.
Answer:
Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and dear friends, I am Parag of Class Xl-A.
Today I want to share my views on the topic ‘Indoor games vs. Outdoor games’. Modern
gadgets like computers, gaming consoles, video games and mobile phones have made us
crazy as well as lazy. In our spare time, we can be either seen surfing the internet or sending
SMS on mobile phones. We have forgotten hide and seek, cricket and football, all of which
make us physically active and alert.

Outdoor games strengthen our physique and heip us to remain healthy. When we play
outdoor games we grow enthusiastic, we agree and disagree and fight. We make more
friends, which broadens our social circle. On the other hand, when we play alone on
computers, we are damaging our eyes, polluting our minds and turning into couch potatoes
which is not good for our health. Outdoor games inculcate values like team work, coherency
and zest for living in us. On the other hand, playing indoor games only makes us isolated and
self-centred. Considering all these, it can be said that while outdoor games carry joys in their
basket, indoor games do not in any way. So, we should adopt outdoor games and come out to
play them more often.

Thank you

Question 2:
You are Ankit/Ankita. You have to deliver a speech on the topic “Education Gives One
Power”. You have jotted down the following notes:
Education trains mind—sharpens skill and abilities—Education: a source of power—
improve self—be independent—earn money—ignorance to knowledge—removes
superstition—develops a free spirit—important for women: gives them freedom from social

Write your speech in 150-200 words.
Answer:

EDUCATION GIVES POWER

Respected Principal, teachers and friends!

Education provides us knowledge. It trains our mind and sharpens our skills and abilities.
Education refines our tastes and temperaments and builds our thought process. Vocational
courses help young boys to earn and learn together. They provide means of earning
livelihood and open the route to employment. Professional courses, as is evident from the
name itself, equip us for adopting various professions. Some of these highly skilled
professionals seek placements or jobs in esteemed companies and business concerns. Thus
education is important for our survival. Decent living is impossible
without good income or high salary. Education improves the quality of our life and frees us
of superstition, foolish, meaningless mind-blocks and rituals. If women are educated the
whole family benefits qs the food is hygienically prepared, children are healthy, well-
mannered and disciplined. Education gives us power over our environment. We can control
the situation and shape our destiny. Education spreads awareness among people and gives
them freedom from social ills. It makes people independent by providing them means to learn
their living. They become responsible citizens and realise their rights and duties. In short,
education gives one power.
Thank you.

Question 3:
You are Priya/Piyush. You are a member of the Environment Club of your school. After
visiting many places you have realized that it is the need of the hour to protect environment.
You decide to create awareness among the students. Write a speech in 150-200 words on
‘Environmental protection’ to be delivered in the morning assembly.
Answer:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Respected Principal, teachers and friends!

Global warming has accelerated the rise of temperature on earth. The sea level is also rising
and glaciers’ are melting away. Natural calamities are taking a toll of life on earth. Floods
and scanty rainfall result in a crunch of food products, drinking water and disturb normal
living conditions. The drought in Rajasthan has led to deaths and famine. Man is himself to
blame for the deterioration of ecosystem. Depleting forests, industrial pollution, toxic-wastes,
vehicular pollution, cutting of trees in cities, and lack of green cover are some of the
contributory factors. The entire process of environmental pollution is becoming a vicious
cycle. The urgent need of the hour is to protect environment. School children have begun to
create awareness by compaigning against polythene bags and recycling waste material. Let us
join hands to protect our forests, grow more trees, check toxic pollutants and change our
lifestyle.
Thank you.

Debate Writing 10 Examples based on previous years

question papers
Q1. “Academic excellence is the only requirement for a successful career.” Write a debate either for
or against the motion. (120 – 150 words) (5)
(Source- CBSE Question paper 2017-18, set-1)
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE IS THE ONLY REQUIREMENT FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.
FOR THE MOTION:
“The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it from you.”
Respected judges and my worthy opponents, I stand before you all to speak in favour of the motion:
“Academic excellence is the only requirement for a successful career”.
Right to Education is the fundamental right of every child in the age group of six to fourteen years. The
education system in the primary years is designed so as to provide basic knowledge of each subject and
help the youth of today to choose their subject of interest for its deeper study that can only be provided
effectively through universities. It plays a key role in the development of society and nation. Information
cannot be converted into knowledge without education. Education makes us capable of interpreting things,
among other things.
It helps in raising future leaders by providing them clear understanding and developing
decision making abilities. It makes them resourceful and competent. Excellence in academics
prepares children for the competition ahead and teaches them to work hard as well.
Moreover, Excellency will ensure admission to the best universities for higher education that
provide exposure and a kick start to their career. To conclude, I would say that one who has
it’s academic future choices sorted out, has it’s career planned out.
“The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.”
Thank you.
AGAINST THE MOTION:
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! My topic for the day is “Academic excellence is the
only requirement for a successful career” and I choose to speak against the motion.
“The goal of education is to raise the leaders of tomorrow”. But my question is, How is it that
most of the leaders of today happen to be college dropouts? This is because having degrees
cannot ensure success. It fails to impart the life skills and polish personality of an individual.
They can surely give you an overview of a subject but fail to provide an overview of how the
world works. It does not ensure skills and competencies. It tells people what to think instead
of how to think and the end results is that, the society now has just robots who have switched
their minds off only to believe what is being taught.
One’s attitude towards life is what brings success. Undoubtedly, academic Excellencies can
provide you degrees or may even land you at a job, but, your success depends upon how you
think, behave, walk, talk and present yourself. It has been rightly said,
“Education produces great employees in the market, not employers”.
Thank you.
Q2. ‘Brain drain is not a bane for a developing country like India.’ Write a debate in
150 – 200 words either for or against the motion.
(CBSE)
BRAIN DRAIN IS NOT A BANE FOR A DEVELOPING COUNTRY LIKE INDIA
FOR THE MOTION:
Respected judges and my worthy opponents, today, I stand before you all to bring into light
why Brain drain is not a bane for a developing country like India.
Brain drain is a situation in which large numbers of educated and skilled professionals leave
their own country to live and work in another country where pay and conditions are better. In
a developing country like India, the population is growing at a rate faster than the increase in
job opportunities. In such a case, immigration to other countries can be seen to be providing
sunshine to dispel the gloom of the unemployed youth.
Moreover, income from the emigrated people comes back to the native country as overseas
remittances. India is recipient of the highest amount of foreign currency coming in as
remittances from NRIs.
Reverse brain drain, on the other hand, if given attention, can make it a win-win situation. It
is a situation in which such people come back to India after acquiring knowledge, skills and
abilities, thus adding value to India.
The need of the hour is to encourage reverse brain drain so that India can make use of their
tremendous potential, experience and expertise for building a stronger nation. This helps
India becoming a developed country very soon and also a global Super Power in the long run.
AGAINST THE MOTION:
Respected judges and my worthy opponents, today, I stand before you all to express my
views on the topic “Brain drain is not a bane for a developing country like India”. I choose to
speak against the motion.
Brain drain is referred to a situation in which large numbers of educated and skilled
professionals leave their own country to live and work in another country where pay and
conditions are better. The majority of migration is from developing to developed countries.
This is of growing concern worldwide because of its impact on developing countries. These
countries have invested in the education and training of young health professionals. This
translates into a loss of considerable resources when these people migrate, with the direct
benefit accruing to the recipient states who have not forked out the cost of educating them.
It drains a developing country of expertise at a time when it requires it the most. If the
number of skilled people leaving is higher than that of people entering (the so-called brain
gain), brain drain can become a challenge, especially if it hits the sensitive spots of a nation’s
economy in sectors such as science, health care, or technology.
It is the need of the hour to be in control of the situation. It can be done by providing better
opportunity, security, better standard of living and if need be, tax concessions. It’s time to
end brain drain and move to brain gain.
Thank you.
