I really miss all those sweet moments with you.
Why don't you drop in here during your vacations. We shall visit all the places we used have lots of fun. We shall meet our old friends and plan for a picnic.

    Day: Wednesday
    Time: 10:00 PM
    Dear Diary,

    I woke up at 6 o’clock in the morning. We had breakfast and dressed up. Today we all went to Fantasize Amusement park nearby at my home town. We started from home at 7 o’clock. As soon as we reached there, we bought our tickets and went inside. I was so excited seeing the rides. My parents and brother liked the “Thunderfall ride”. My favorite rides were Water Splash, Caterpillar Ride, Wave Pool and Pirate Ship. After a couple of hours we had our lunch. In the afternoon we had the scariest ride that is the Space Gun. We got back to our home in the evening. It was a great day and I enjoyed a lot.

    1. Pick Your Main Ideas. Don't try to put too many ideas into your speech. ...
    2. Write Like You Talk. Remember that you're writing a speech, not an essay. ...
    3. Use Concrete Words and Examples. Concrete details keep people interested. ...

    6. Simplify.

    Speeches are always well-planned, well organised and presentable items of writing. In class 10th, you are given the outline, and this makes your problem easy. You only need to organise the outline properly. The outline has to be supported by your deep understanding of the content. You must be capable of building threads of ideas with your ready instrument of coherence (unity achieved in terms of ideas) and cohesion (unity achieved in terms of language). Your appropriate style of solution and the tone of voice determine the standard of your speech. So newer dream to go to the extent of your thought while developing a speech.

    Specimen speeches                                   word limit (150-200)
    (I).Arjuman of class 10th, of HSS Behrampora prepares a speech on world book day for the morning assembly. She makes outline as given below.
                                                         Importance of Books
    Books are full of wisdom.
    Available at libraries.
    Books enrich our knowledge, update us, and come to our rescue when we feel bored.
    Easily affordable at book shops.
    Keep the record of civilization.
    Guarantee a better future, excites us to do extraordinary things.
    Internet is no match to good books.


    Q1. If you by yourself are Arjuman, how will you prepare the content of the speech for morning assembly?


    Ans. Worthy principal, respected teachers, my dear brothers and sisters, I am Arjuman of class 10th enjoying the privilege to speak before you on the topic “importance of books”.
    Respected listeners: Books are one of the most valuable inventions of man. There is no denying of the fact that books are life and breathe for a wise and enterprising man to rise to the cherished heights. Every extraordinary person is, by one way or the other, indebted to the wisdom of books. People who have burnt mid night oil on books have finally worked wonders.
    Respected listeners: Can we ever think of qualifying IAS, KAS, AIEEE, MBBS AIEEE and other prestigious examinations without the support of books. Can we afford to pass the board examination without having books close to our breasts?  Can we afford to underestimate the role of books in our career building? No, my respected listeners, we cant- because for reaching the cherished heights we need strength and that strength lies in the books.
    Respected listeners: Books speak to me. They know nothing but wisdom. They are the custodians of extraordinary human endeavour, be it science, art, literature or other disciplines. The great man who ever lived in the world are been breathing deep in the books. The best thing about books is that they are affordable as well as easily available everywhere. They never cease to enrich the knowledge and update their beholder.
    Listeners, whenever we feel bored, books come to our rescue. When we are isolated books extend their sweet company. They provide food to our leisure. They recreate us. They give us the feel of past civilizations. They help us relish the best literature write-ups. They make us embrace good qualities of diverse civilizations and rise to the extraordinary heights.
    Respected listeners, why do we compare book reading to the internet surfing. They have no match. Books are time tested where as internet content may or may not be trustworthy. Books guarantee the single mindedness f the reader whereas internet makes the reader a rambler. So, dear listeners in order to suck the nector of knowledge to the utmost we have to have books most dear to all the muses. It is here where the secret of our better career and idealistic life lies.
    Thanks.

    Before you begin writing you need:

    • Your speech OUTLINE with your main ideas ranked in the order you're going to present them.
      (If you haven't done one complete this 4 step sample speech outline. It will make the writing process much easier.)
    • Your RESEARCH
    • You also need to know WHO you're speaking to, the PURPOSE of the speech and HOW long you're speaking for

    Basic speech construction

    Your speech will have three parts:
    1. an opening or introduction
    2. the body where you present your main ideas
    3. an ending
    Split your time allowance so that you spend approximately 70% on the body and 15% each on the introduction and ending.

    How to write the speech

    • Write your main ideas out incorporating your examples and research
    • Link them together making sure each flows in a smooth, logical progression
    • Write your ending, summarizing your main ideas briefly and end with a call for action
    • Write your introduction considering the 'hook' you're going to use to get your audience listening
    • An often quoted saying to explain the process is:
      Tell them what you're going to tell them (Introduction)
      Tell them (Body of your speech - the main ideas plus examples)
      Tell them what you told them (The ending)

    TEST before presenting. Read aloud several times to check the flow of material, the suitability of language and the timing.
