Main source of pollution is traffic, garbage and industries. Smoke and waste pollute the environment. Felling of trees, building of factories and congested localities have created danger to ecological balance.

Ans. Importance of Newspapers
Honourable chief guest and all the respected audiences.
I, Neeraja/Neeraj, of class IX have been given a chance to speak on 'Importance of Newspapers'. Newspaper is a mirror which reflects the political, economic and social conditions. I always read newspaper in morning to keep myself up to date. Newspapers give us latest news about the country and the world. The government programmes and policies are made public through newspapers. These bring awakening among people against ills. Newspapers help in trade and business through advertisements.
Thus, newspapers are highly important.
Thank you.

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends.
Today I, Chanderkanta/Chanderkant of class IX

---

want to highlight about the issue of Dowry System in our society.

Today our society is in the vicious grip of treacherous dowry system. Many girls are tortured even after marriages to bring money and items from her father's home. If they fail, they are burnt alive. Sometimes the brides are driven out of the house or divorce takes place. Sometimes a father has to sell all his property to fulfill the groom's demand.

So, girls and their parents should start a movement against it. This evil system has to stop.

Thank you.

Female foeticide is a heinous killing of a girl child in the womb of a mother. Although female foeticide is illegal and banned then also it has not completely stopped. People and families consider a girl as a liability and a boy as an asset. It is believed that the boy will carry their name and property to future generation.

Wrappers of chips, biscuits, other eatables and polythene should not be thrown on the roads or near drains.
Thank you.

Online learning gives freedom to learn whatever we want. We have comfort of learning from home. It has reduced education cost. We can study at our own pace. We have access to field experts.

Ans. Online Learning
Honourable members of the jury, revered teachers and dear audience.
I am Lokesh of class IX of Bhalgaou village of Sedwa Block of Barmer district.
I stand here to oppose the motion : Online Learning.
Online learning widens the social divide. The poor don't have better gadgets, stronger connectivity in rural areas and greater familiarity with the technology. Then, home isn't necessarily the same for every online learner. The poor and the villagers may have unpleasant home environment. Next online learning lacks the socializing component. It doesn't provide social life. Finally, it weakens critical thinking.
Thus, only online learning is not permissible.
Thank you.

Respected chairperson, honourable judges, members of the staff and dear fellows.

An infant's first school is his/her family. S/he learns everything from there. S/he knows the culture. S/he comes across to love, affection, pity, mercy, sympathy, help, compassion etc. in

Respected chairperson, honourable judges, members of staff and dear friends.
I, Sudesh of class-IX, stand before you to speak against the motion on 'Joint Family is the Most Appropriate Way of Life'.
A joint family becomes a kind of crowd. No personal attention is paid to the members. In today's fast life a joint family harms the progress of the children. Old people bestow their views forcefully upon other members. Elders forbid younger to do anything.
Thus, joint family creates negative approach among members.
Thank you very much.

English Class IX $\hfill$ 223

Ans. Physical punishment to students should be banned

Honourable members of the jury, respected teachers and dear audience.
I am Ravinder of class IX of Public School-Chennai.
I stand here to support the motion : 'Physical punishment to students should be banned'.
Physical punishment is a sort of violence. Modern laws and society disallow this. It is a dishonour of a student. It distorts the psychology of the punished student. Sometimes students leave school permanently because of it.
So, the physical punishment to students should be banned.
Thank you very much.

Q. 11. Debate the motion on the topic 'Should school examinations be made optional?'. Write your opinion in support of it in 80 to 100 words. You may use the following outlines :

Ans. Should school examinations be made optional?

Honourable judges, worthy teachers and dear fellows.
Today I, Devesh of IXth class, am here before you to speak in support of 'Should school examinations be made optional?'.
The word 'examination' generates great fear, anxiety and tension in the hearts of the students. Students lose sleep and give up food in examination days. In most of the developed countries examination does not exist before level ten. Education through entertainment and pleasure is the need of today.

I whole heartedly support that school examinations should be made optional.
Thank you.

Q. 12. Debate the motion on the topic 'Should school examinations be made optional?' Write your views in opposition of it in 80 to 100 words. You are Pawan of class-IX. You may get help of the following outlines :

Ans. Should school examinations be made optional?

Worthy judges, teachers and friends.
I am Pawan of Class-IX.
I am here to speak against the motion 'Should school examinations be made optional?'
Examinations are only mode to test the students' abilities, intelligence and mental level. Examinations are part of our school syllabi. Examinations make students hardworking, creative and self-dependent which are necessary to make good careers in life. Students acquire all-round knowledge through these.
Thus I support it to be an important part of school education.
Thank you.

Q. 13. 'Homework should be abolished'. Debate this motion and write your views in favour of it in 80 to 100 words. You may use the following outlines :

Ans. Homework should be abolished
Respected members of jury and dear audience.
I am Shivam, a student of class-IX of GHSS-Sanganer.
I stand here to favour the motion : 'Homework should be abolished'.
Homework is a burden on children. Homework

checks a child's physical, emotional and social development. It consumes the student's free time and energy. It reduces playtime of children. Sometimes students panic if their home work is not completed. It is a problem for weak students and illiterate parents.
Thus homework should be abolished.
Thank you. | I am going to express my views in support of the motion : 'T.V. Viewing Is Harmful for Children'.
A child's mind is the most impressionable one. Because of T.V. programmes they do not study properly, homework lies pending and lose their eyesight. They are taken to crimes by T.V. programmes. Many times the criminal serials or horror serials shown on television have a deep impact on their innocent mind.
I, therefore, support the T.V. viewing is harmful for children.
Thank you.
Q. 14. 'Homework should be abolished'. Debate this motion and write your views in rejection of it in 80 to 100 words. You may take help of the outlines : | Q. 16. 'T.V.

Ans. Homework should be abolished
Respected members of jury and dear audience.
I, Shivani of class-IX of GHSS-Neemkathana, stand here to oppose the motion : 'Homework should be abolished'.
Homework builds children's self-confidence and sense of achievement. Homework does not check a child's growth. It is thought-provoking. It is always interesting, if done in the right spirit. It deepens students' understanding of topics of working quietly and privately. It is a motivating task.
So, homework is an essential part of education. It should not be banned.
Thank you. | Ans. T.V. Viewing Is Harmful for Children
Respected judges and dear audience.
I am Ravinder of class-IX of GSSS-Raipura Jageer.
I stand before you to oppose the motion : 'T.V. Viewing Is Harmful for Children'.
T.V. viewing helps in the growth of mental faculties, reasoning power of the children and grasp the subject well. It is a wholesome educative entertainment. It widens understanding, fellow feelings, mutual love and cooperation. There are many socially useful programmes on T.V. Through many T.V. programmes their knowledge increases related to environment, animals etc., etc.
So, I disagree that T.V. viewing is harmful for children.
Thank you.

Ans. Mobile Towers Are Harmful
Worthy judges and my dear schoolmates.

I am before you to support the motion : 'Mobile Towers Are Harmful'.
Mobile towers are silent killers. The radiation affects the people living nearby. Many instances of cancer, hypertension and kidney failure have been found in the areas of mobile towers. Irritation and stress is common in the neighbouring families. Government should make law regarding the installation of mobile tower in residential areas.
I, therefore, support that mobile towers should be removed.
Thank you.
