5. THE USES OF ELECTRICITYElectricity is one of the greatest discoveries ofscience. It has brought comfort and joy to our life.It is one of the most important and usefuldiscoveries in our life. Electricity has lightedmillions of homes. It is required to run factoriesthat make goods for our use. During summers we


use fans, coolers and air-conditioners. All these useelectricity. Even in winters, the room heater thatwarms us needs electricity. Electricity is alsoneeded for refrigerators which cool the water fordrinking and keeps food and vegetables fresh. Eventhe TV we see, the music player we play, themobile phones we use all need electricity. Thetrains by which we travel require electricity.Electricity is therefore very important in everysphere of life. If it was not there, life would havecome to a standstill.

Respected chairperson, members of the jury and myworthy opponent. The topic for today’s debate is‘Children should be allowed to use mobile phonesin the class’. I, Mohan Ahuja of class III stand beforeyou to speak against the motion. I am of the opinionthat children should not be allowed to use mobilephones in the class. These phones distract them andthe other students from doing serious studies. Theyalso tend to watch objectionable and violence filledfilms or video clips on such phones. This leads totheir poor performance in studies and other areas.I hope I have been able to make my point clear thatchildren should not be allowed to use mobile phonesin the class.

Television would be adistraction for students. I am of the view thatstudents would not concentrate in their studies ifthey were to watch TV in their bedrooms. Theywould be tempted to watch objectionable andviolence-filled programmes which are not meant forthem as there is no one to keep a watch over themor monitor their timings. They would watch

programmes till late night leading to difficulty ingetting up to go to school the next morning. Allthese factors would lead to a fall in the performancein their studies. So I assert that students should notbe permitted to have a television in their bedrooms.

Subject : Visit to an old-age home

Dear Biju

Last week my school took our entire classon a visit to an old-age home in Sonipat. I justcannot forget what we saw there. We werevery much moved to see their loneliness.There was no one to hear what they wantedto say. Some were unable to walk. Therewasn’t any means of entertainment otherthan an old television. Some of our studentsread stories to them. Some gave themstorybooks to read. A few of us played gameslike cards and ludo. We also shared the

snacks that we had carried with us. Theyenjoyed it a lot. We saw the smile on theirfaces. I wish we could do more for them.

5. JUNK FOOD SHOULD BE BANNED INSCHOOLS

Honorable teachers and my dear friends!The topic of my speech is “Junk food should bebanned in schools”. One often finds children eatingsamosas, breadpakoras, dosas, chowmein, hot dogs,burgers. These foods are tasty but they haveno nutritional value. They are rich in fats,carbohydrates, sugar and salt. Such foods are themain cause of blood pressure, obesity, hypertensionetc. So they need to be banned from schools as theycause these disorders. Rather children should beserved cooked meals like dal, chapati, rice, freshfruits and salads as these foods are rich innutrition. So let the children become disease free.Let’s ban junk foods from schools.

Thank you

7. CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESSIt is always good to be godly, but at the same time,it is also equally, important to be clean. Cleanlinessis said to be next to godliness. We can have a cleanheart and a clean mind. By cleanliness one can keepone’s body and surroundings clean. Cleanliness isalso important to remain healthy and fit. Uncleanbody and unclean surroundings lead to various kindsof diseases. By keeping oneself clean, one can feel

more energetic and happy. We can feel cheerful andjoyful. It generates good thoughts also. It is thereforerightly said that a sound mind lives in a sound body.So it is true that cleanliness is next to godliness.

7. HOW TREES AND PLANTS ARE IMPORTANTTO US

Honourable principal, respected teachers and mydear friends. The topic of my speech today is “Howtrees and plants are important to us”.Trees provide us a wide variety of delicious fruitsand vegetables. Trees give shade in which peopletake shelter. They provide us wood for makingfurniture, doors and windows. They supply usoxygen which we breath in. They take away theharmful carbondioxide from the air and use it tomake food for us. Trees also provide dyes,chemicals, medicines, rubber, beverages liketea, coffee, etc. They also prevent soil erosion,and help prevent floods. In fact if trees and plantswere not there, life on the earth would haveceased to exist. So it is rightly said that trees areour lifeline; we just cannot live live without them.

Thank you

7. CHILDREN SHOULD BE FREE TO GOANYWHERE WITH THEIR FRIENDS

Respected chairperson, members of the jury andmy worthy opponent. The topic for today’s debateis “Children should be free to go anywhere withtheir friends” and I, Ashim Monga of class III-Dstand before the house to speak against themotion.I am of the opinion that parents should exercisecontrol over the movement and whereabouts oftheir children. They should monitor the movementof their children to prevent them from falling intowrong company. By monitoring, they would knowwhere their children are going, when they aregoing and how they are going, whether the place issafe or not. This way they would be able to providehelp if their children are held up somewhere.These are the reasons which make it necessary


that children should be held in check when they goout with their friends.

7. ANIMALS SHOULD BE USED FORCONDUCTING SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTSRespected chairperson, members of the jury andworthy opponent. The topic for today’s debate is“Animals should be used for conducting scientificexperiments and tests” and I, Amir Ahmed ofClass–III-B stand before you to speak against themotion.Animals like human beings have feelings andemotions. They also feel pain, heat, cold andpleasure. I say that it is a crime to experiment on

them or inject harmful chemicals into their body toknow how their body reacts to such things. No oneknows what suffering, pain, torture they undergobefore they die a painful death uncared for. Someare thrown away into the garbage with theirdiseased body even before their death.It is time we stopped this cruel practice and foundout other methods to test the chemicals or toconduct scientific experiments. We should not usethese speechless beings who cannot express theirfeelings to us.
