IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS.
In the words of the great John Wesley,

“Cleanliness is next to godliness”
Good Morning respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, I, Mukul/Mahima,
stand before you all, to highlight the importance of cleanliness.
Cleanliness is the state or quality of being clean or being kept clean. It is essential for everyone
to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are caused due to
poor hygienic conditions. It is crucial for physical well-being and maintaining a healthy
environment at home and at school. An unclean environment is an invitation for a lot of
mosquitoes to breed in and spread deadly diseases. On the other hand, not maintaining
personal hygiene leads to a lot of skin problems and decreased immunity.
The habits learnt at a young age get embedded into one’s personality. Even if we inculcate
certain habits like washing hands before and after meals, regular brushing and bathing from a
young age, we are not bothered about keeping public places clean. For this, on 2nd October,
2014, the Indian Prime Minister launched a nation-wide cleanliness campaign, “Swachh Bharat”
to provide sanitation facilities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal
systems, village cleanliness, and safe and adequate drinking water supply. Teachers and students
of schools are joining this ‘Clean India Campaign’ very actively with great fervour and joy.
Good health will ensure a healthy mind, which will lead to increased overall productivity
resulting in higher standards of living, thus developing the economy. It will boost India’s
international image. Thus, a clean environment is a green environment with less people falling
ill. Cleanliness, hence, is defined to be the emblem of purity of mind.
Thank you.
Write a speech in 150-200 words on ‘Benefits of early rising’ to be delivered by you in the
morning assembly of your school. You are Karuna/Karan, Head Girl/Head Boy. (10)
(CBSE 2016)
BENEFITS OF EARLY RISING

Honourable Principal, Respected teachers and my dear friends, today I, Karuna/Karan, your Head
Girl/Head Boy stand before you all to highlight the far-reaching “Benefits of Early-rising”.
“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.”
The words of Benjamin Franklin have been backed by science. It has been proved that morning
people are persistent and proactive. It leads to better performance, greater success, and higher
standards of living. Rising up early also relieves stress and tension because it gives you the time
to squeeze in a workout before you get distracted. This is why; morning people tend to be
healthier and happier as well as have lower body mass indexes.
For this, one needs to maintain a proper schedule and has to go to bed on time. You should
restrict the usage of gadgets immediately before going to bed and these tiny steps will help you
become an early riser. Researchers have also said that early morning is the best time to study
and gain knowledge. This will help you in staying ahead in the class and keep your grades up.
Most entrepreneurs are early risers as they believe it is the key to a successful, happy and
content life.
Hence, if you don’t develop a habit of waking up before the rest of the world, you won’t be able
to change the world.
Thank you.
Suppose Shruti wants to speak in the school assembly on the problem of illiteracy in India
after more than five decades of Independence and what role can the school students play in
spreading literacy. Based on this table and using your own ideas write out Shruti’s speech in
about 150-200 words.
ILLITERACY IN INDIA
Respected members of the faculty and dear friends.
It is indeed shocking that even after more than five decades of independence, we have failed to
spread the fruit of literacy among the masses. It is most unfortunate that even today almost half
the population of India is illiterate.
It is disheartening to note that in the last thirty years the literate population has risen by a mere
three thousand lakhs and in the last fifty years the literacy rate has gone up by 38 per cent. Since
the population of the country is increasing fast, we have to take immediate and urgent steps to
spread the fruits of literacy among the masses. The lamp of knowledge should be taken to the
farthest nook and comer of the far-flung villages as well as the nearby slums.
Let us not lose our patience while engaged in the noble task of spreading literacy. Let us adopt
literacy as a mission and as our obligation towards society and the nation. The students of
schools can play a very effective and constructive role in educating the illiterates. “Each one
teach one’ should not remain a mere slogan. It should be translated into reality. The young
students should come forward and accept it as a challenge.
I therefore call upon each one of you to take a solemn pledge to educate at least one illiterate
per year. Let us all rise to the occasion and take up cudgels to remove the blot of illiteracy from
the fair name of our nation.
Thank you.
