Question 1: You are concerned about the cleanliness of parks, roads and your school premises. Prepare a speech in 150–200 words to be delivered in the morning assembly on the topic, Cleanliness is the Responsibility of All.

Show answer

Answer

CLEANLINESS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ALL

Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends,

Good morning. Cleanliness is not the duty of a few workers; it is the responsibility of every citizen. Dirty parks, blocked drains and littered school corners spread disease and make our surroundings unpleasant. We can bring change by using dustbins, reducing plastic, separating wet and dry waste and reporting overflowing garbage. Each class can adopt one area and keep it clean every day. We should also respect sanitation workers and never throw waste from vehicles. Small habits, practised by many people, create a healthy community. Let us begin today, at school and at home. A clean environment shows discipline, care and respect for one another.

Thank you.

Question 2: Considering the acute shortage of water in some parts of the city, prepare a speech of about 120 words for an Environment Club meeting on a rainwater harvesting programme, its benefits and simple storage techniques.

Show answer

Answer

RAINWATER HARVESTING

Respected members of the Environment Club,

Our city faces water shortages because rainwater is allowed to run away unused. Rainwater harvesting can recharge groundwater and provide water for gardening, cleaning and other non-drinking needs. Rooftops can be connected to pipes that carry rain into a filter and storage tank. Overflow can be directed to a recharge pit. We should keep roofs and drains clean, repair leaks and use stored water carefully. The programme will succeed only when homes, schools and offices participate. Let us teach our families these simple methods and make every drop count.

Thank you.
