1. Be careful while boarding the school bus
We need to be very careful while boarding the school bus. We should form a queue for boarding the school
bus. When the bus arrives, we should get inside the bus one by one and make sure that we do not push others.
Pushing and shoving others can cause accidents. We must help the little children in boarding the bus first. Apart
from this, we must listen to the instructions of the driver and the conductor. This would help in making our school
commute safe.

2. Have faith in Yourself
One must have faith in oneself. Faith in oneself helps in increasing one’s confidence. When a person is confident
of himself, he can accomplish difficult tasks by staying positive in such circumstances. One should do one’s best
in every situation and should avoid blaming others. One should also avoid comparing oneself with others and
make an attempt to better oneself every day. So, instead of comparing with others, one should compete with
oneself. Self-faith and belief in God can do wonders.
3. The Morning Assembly
The morning assembly in a school should be short. It should start with a prayer. The prayer should be followed
by the news. Apart from the news, some interesting facts can also be shared in the school assembly. A short quiz
can also be conducted in the assembly. The assembly should end with the singing of the school song.

A. 1. I’d like to argue for the topic, ‘Children don’t need mobile phones’. In my opinion, mobiles are a big waste of
time. Children should not waste their time on mobiles and should rather concentrate on their studies. This
would help them in building a better future. Excessive mobile usage can cause serious health issues and
can also affect one’s concentration. By using mobiles, children can get access to adult content that is not
meant for them. They may also become a victim of cyber-bullying and stalking by using mobiles. So, I strongly
believe that children don’t need mobile phones.

 2. I’d like to argue against the topic, ‘Students should wear only school uniform’. In my opinion, children should
be allowed to wear whatever they wish for going to school. I fail to understand why school uniform is made
compulsory in schools. India is a poor country and many parents cannot afford to purchase school uniform for
their children. So, this acts as a hindrance to the children to attend school. Hence, there should be no school
uniform in schools.
3. I would like to speak against the topic, ‘Morning assembly should not be held everyday’. Morning assembly
is important as it sets our day on a positive note. It makes students feel fresh and energetic. It gives an
opportunity to all the students of school to interact with each other. Morning sunlight is considered to be the
best and the morning assembly is the perfect event to receive it. Moreover, morning assemblies develop
a feeling of being united among the students. They inspire them when someone with an achievement is
rewarded in front of the entire school. Therefore, morning assembly should be a part of a student’s daily life.
