Answer
ENGLISH: EXTREMELY SCORING SUBJECT
Respected Principal, teachers and friends!
English is an extremely scoring, provided one follows a few rules, such as a good reading habit and the ability to be brief and specific in one's answers. As far as the lessons in the CBSE textbooks are concerned, a thorough reading is essential. Questions asked from these lessons can be from any part of the chapter/story and could be about any minute detail. Remember the complete name of the main characters and the author's name. Your answer has to be in the same tense as the question. Secondly, the answer should be relevant and to the point. In order to get high marks in the comprehension passages and writing tasks, a student must have good communication skills as well as good reading habit. In article/report writing, questions on current affairs are often asked. Reading comes in very handy while writing such compositions. A report should always be written in the passive voice. In note-making, do not give more than five points. Give sub-points for each main point in a logical sequence. On the basis of the points, write a summary and give a title. In letter writing, be brief and accurate. Adopt the block format. Try to be creative while writing advertisements. The phrases/language should be catchy. These are some points that may stand you in good stead.
Thank you. ### Speech on Water is Precious; Use it Wisely
By Govind/Govindi
Good morning, respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends,
Today, I want to talk about a critical issue that affects us all: the importance of conserving water. Water will indeed become a scarce commodity soon if we continue to waste it as we do now.
Water is essential for life, yet we are notorious for wasting it. During weddings, we see water being used extravagantly for decorations and other purposes. At home, we often leave taps running while brushing our teeth or washing dishes. Even in schools, we sometimes forget to turn off taps properly, leading to unnecessary waste.
We must understand that every drop of water is precious. Simple actions can make a big difference. For instance, fixing leaking taps, using buckets instead of hoses for washing cars, and taking shorter showers can save significant amounts of water. Schools can install water-saving devices and educate students about the importance of water conservation. Let us also be mindful of our water usage during events and celebrations. By adopting water-efficient practices, we can ensure that future generations have access to this vital resource.
In conclusion, let us pledge to use water wisely and encourage others to do the same. Together, we can make a significant impact and help preserve this precious resource for the future.
Thank you.
