subjected to rules and regulations. Hence, it is crucial that you obey the school

rules.

Dear friends,

What is success if you lack the common courtesies in life? Remember, you

must respect everyone. You must respect your parents, your teachers, the

school staff and also your friends. You must respect other peoples feelings and

opinions.

There are also several things you must avoid if you want to be a successful

student. You must avoid wasting time. These days many teenagers spendhours on social networks such as Facebook or playing computer games. These

are a waste of time and will not benefit you in any way. Remember, Time and

tide wait for no man. Also, avoid skipping school. Some students feel that

school is a waste of time as they can learn better from their tuition teachers.

This is not true. The teachers in our school are experienced and well qualified.

They are also experienced examiners and they know how to impart knowledge

effectively.

I have to stop here. I hope you have found my talk helpful. Thank you for

listening attentively.
