A speech is an effective way of communicating a message to a large audience. It is one of the ways of spreading awareness regarding social issues or giving information regarding other important issues. As a form of writing, a speech is similar to an article except that it begins with a formal address to the audience, is more conversational in tone and concludes with a ‘Thank you’. A speech is written for a specific purpose like informing, persuading, convincing or entertaining an audience.

LIBRARY WEEK
Respected Principal,-Vice-Principal, teachers, and friends! It gives me great pleasure to speak to you about the Library Week that our school has organised from 2nd to 9th September this year. This week is slightly different from the others. Here we have to shift the focus to mental attainment. The aim of celebrating this week is to inculcate reading habits among students. Reading, you know makes a man perfect. So new arrivals in the reference section such as the encyclopedia and dictionaries as well as general books will be displayed. National Book Trust and Oxford University Press are putting up an exhibition. We have invited Dr. Kailash Vajpayee to inaugurate the exhibition. He will autograph the books and interact with students. Other authors like Khushwant Singh and Ruskin Bond will also pay us a visit. During the week, a quiz competition will be organised. The Reading section will have more new magazines for teenagers’ interest. I appeal to all of you to spend as much free time in the library as you can. Thank you.
Question 2. Media has a stronghold on society. Write a speech in 150-200 words, on how media influences public opinion, to be delivered in the school assembly. Answer: Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and my dear friends, I, Mehak Prasad of class Xl-C, will enlighten you today on the fact that the media has a stronghold on society.
It influences public opinion significantly because people consider true whatever the media depicts, whether it is the electronic media like TV and Radio, social media like Facebook and Twitter, cyber media like the Internet and e-mail, or the print media like newspapers and magazines. However, in some cases, the actual situation is totally different from what is depicted in the media. Media dramatises the information to serve its own ends, and usually to gain popularity.
Everybody, yes everybody, are exposed to different forms of media. People are not always able to separate fact from opinion and believe or disbelieve what they see, hear, or read. This moulds their opinions and actions, thus enabling the media to have a stronghold on society.
Over reporting as well as under-reporting can lead to misinformed opinions. It is for the journalistic community to take initiative and seek to address the various concerns regarding the profession. The public also should be discerning enough to separate facts from opinions and form one’s viewpoint accordingly.
Speech Writing Exercises with Answers for Class 11 CBSE
Question 1. Peer pressure is useful for the development of an individual. If there is no peer pressure at all then there would be no goal or aim to succeed. Write a speech on the topic -‘Is Peer Pressure Beneficial or Not?’to be delivered on account of the Children’s Day celebration in your school. (150-200 words) Answer: Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers, and my dear friends, on the occasion of Children’s Day, I am going to present my views on the topic ‘Is peer pressure beneficial or not?’
Peer pressure is beneficial as long as we know our limits. It is all upto us to be so strong, so firm, so unshakable, and filled with conviction of not going on the wrong track.
Peer pressure is not always bad. Peers may teach you good habits and encourage you to follow them. Looking at what others do can help you bring a positive change in your way of thinking. Your peers, their choices, and ways of life give you a glimpse of the world outside the four walls of your house. What they think about things in life, how they perceive situations, how they react in different circumstances can actually expose you to the world around them. Being part of a larger group of peers exposes you to the diversity in human behaviour. This makes you reflect on your behaviour and know where you stand. Peer pressure can lead you to make the right choices in life.
Your peers can, thus, influence the shaping of your personality in a positive way. Moreover, it’s not pressuring every time, sometimes it’s an inspiration, which makes you change for good.
Question 2. Racism is bad. Anyone and everyone can be exposed to racism. Write a speech in 150-200 words on the topic ‘Racism’ to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school. Answer: Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and my dear friends, good morning!
Why must I choose whom to befriend according to the colour of their skin? Is there anything written anywhere that makes one race above another? I am going to present my views on the topic ‘Racism’ today.
I am nobody to judge other people. In fact, we all are unique in our own way and we all should be judged on our individual and personal qualities.
We have lots of people who are filled with hatred-hatred pointed especially at the colour of the skin. But where does all this hatred come from? God has never conceived hate. Did he make us different just to see hatred and war? I don’t think so. Why can’t we carry out Martin Luther King’s dream about a world in peace and without any kind of racism?
Racism works against the principle of being equal and the right of all people to be treated fairly. Hating people because of their colour or other factors is wrong. We all have to stay together and thus, we need to make the effort to embrace and accept other cultures. This can start with the simple act of friendship. Let us start today.
Question 3. The actions and behaviour of senior college and university students are a far cry from the normal, decent and civilised. It’s all the more reprehensible because even girls are subjected to indecency and vulgarity. Write a speech on the topic ‘Ragging’ in 150-200 words for your school’s morning assembly. Answer: Respected Principal Sir, honourable teachers and my dear friends, good morning!
Ragging deserves severe condemnation and needs to be consigned to the dustbin of discarded ideas. Today I am going to present my views on the serious issue of ‘Ragging’.
The practice has now become a source of uncivilised behaviour, which brings to the fore animal instincts of the practising youth. It deserves to be curtailed, curbed and ultimately abolished. It calls for strict action and punishment. Any mildness in this regard amounts to giving it a further fillip.
The raggers may put forth unsustainable arguments that it is meant to bring the freshers into the mainstream of campus life, that it helps in rounding up the angularities of the freshers who are awkward and uninitiated in the ways of college and university life. The supporters of ragging also hold forth that this results in understanding and mutual liking, which blooms into friendship.
On the contrary, many ragging incidents result into attempted suicides. Youngsters are subjected to unwholesome and unhealthy practir 3. Such actions breed hostility and a strong desire to seek revenge. The ragged youngster nurses th„* numiiiation in mind and next year, will take it out on a newcomer. The practice, thus, continues.
Hence, it calls for condemnation and a total ban of this practise of ragging.
teachers and my dear friends. Today, I, Shrishti of class XI wili give my vision of The Ideal Indian’.
I have always dreamed of India to be a great country which will be a role model for other countries of the world. It will be a place where everybody is honest, trustworthy, caring and respectful so that the common man lives his life without any fear and has access to all the basic amenities required to lead a happy and * comfortable life.
Principles of basic education and employment will be followed here so that every citizen is both educated and employed. The Indian of my dreams will execute his responsibilities first and then only assert his rights. This will lead to a society where law and order will be maintained and people with good deeds will be appreciated, whereas the wrongdoers will be punished. This will inturn lead to an inspiring and empowering feeling in the minds of the citizens. Moral values, culture and heritage will be preserved here and passed on to future generations. That is the India I dream of. The ideal Indian will try to shun all malpractices and help the government in furthering the causes of national integration and maintenance of law and order.
Question 2. You are Ashok, studying in class XI-B. You have been asked by your Principal to speak in the morning assembly on ‘The Importance of English’. Draft the speech in 150-200 words. Answer: Good morning, respected Principal Sir, teachers and my friends. Today, I, Ashok of class Xi-B, will highlight the importance of English in today’s scenario.
English is a universal language which is now needed to be known by everyone. Without English, one feels handicapped. If you travel to any part of the world, and even to some parts of India, knowledge of English sees you through. That is why most public schools in cities are teaching in the English medium. The primary reason is that parents want their children to be fluent in English.
To get a reasonable job, it is a must to be able to write, understand and speak English, as it is the language of communication. Due to this, most of the interviews for good jobs and even admission interviews for colleges are conducted in English.
Many people wish to study or work abroad. To know the local language may be difficult and learning it would take time, but if one knows English, it comes to one’s rescue. Even the best study materials for research work are available only in English, Computers which are widely used can usually be used only with knowledge of English.
Thus, English is a must in today’s scenario.
Question 6. Advertisements exercise a lot of influence on the common man. They have invaded man’s life through media. You have to speak on ‘The Effects of Advertisements on Consumers’ in the morning assembly. Write your speech in 150-200 words. You are Sana/Suresh of class XI-B. Answer: Good morning, respected Principal Sir, teachers and my friends. Today, I, Suresh of class XI-B, will speak on The effects of advertisements on consumers’.
These days media is everywhere, be it TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, the internet and other media. These media channels solicit advertisements to pay for their costs. The media is so full of advertisements that after every few minutes or pages, what you find is another round of advertisements. These repeated advertisements create a psychological effect on the viewers or listeners so that the product gets imbibed into their subconscious mind.
It is this excessive advertising that the consumers should be careful of, otherwise they will land up buying a heavily advertised product which may not be good. Young consumers specially children and teenagers are carried away by varied choices and end up spending a lot of money on buying products which they may not use at all.
Consumers need to be careful and must enquire before buying any product by researching and taking other people’s opinions who have already used a particular product. They should also utilise the available resources on social media through friends and other means before committing to any buying decisions.
The better informed consumer will not be carried away by advertisement alone and will judge a product in a balanced manner before buying it.
Question 7. You are the first speaker in the Inter-House Declamation contest being held in your school. The topic chosen for the contest is ‘Ban Child Labour’. Write your speech in 150-200 words. You are Ashwini/Anuradha. Answer: Good morning, respected Principal Sir, teachers and my friends. Today, I, Anuradha of Patel House, will speak on the given topic ‘Ban Child Labour’.
Child labour typically refers to employment of children below a certain age in organisations and industries with or without their legal permission. This problem is more acute in developing countries rather than developed countries primarily because of three reasons, namely low cost associated with child labour, the need of poor families to make their children work to get money and lack of will power for implementation of labour laws. Even within developing countries, it is the unorganised sector like shoe-making, safety matches, handmade clothes, bangles, carpet weaving etc that has a higher percentage of child labour.
The more disturbing part is the way children are treated during their employment. They are made to work long hours, not given proper food, deprived of basic sanitation and often exposed to hazardous chemicals during the course of their work. This results in lack of growth, injuries or at times, even death of children. It also deprives the children of tender care, right to basic education, love and time to play.
To stop child labour, the government must strictly implement labour laws and severely punish employers found guilty of illegal child labour. Then only we can promise a better future for the children of this country. The government must find ways to end poverty which is one of the root causes of child labour.
We all know that ‘a healthy mind lives in a healthy body’. To maintain this good health, we should live in a healthy environment and surroundings. The most important of these are the sanitary conditions. We should not throw our litter or waste material anywhere, but use the dustbins provided by the Municipal Corporation outside the home and waste bins inside our homes. Garbage should be properly disposed off otherwise it will spread all kinds of diseases.
We should also try to ensure that all drains are covered. Stray animals should not be allowed in the colonies so that they do not dirty the drains and other areas with their excreta. Slum dwellers should be made aware of the necessity of healthy surroundings. Also, the Municipal Corporation sanitation staff should be taken to task if they neglect their work.
Friends, it is our responsibility to keep our town clean. Each one should do his/her bit; then only will it pay off.
Question 9. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’ is a well-known saying. You are Kavi/Kavita of class XI. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be delivered in the school morning assembly on the benefits of rising early. Answer: Good Morning respected Principal Sir, teachers and my dear friends.
‘Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’ is a famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, the famous American scientist. How right he was! So today, I, Kavita of class XI, will speak about the benefits of rising early.
According to research conducted recently, students who consistently wake up early each day actually scored better in tests and overall grade points than those who woke later on. Of course, this is not simply a result of waking up early, but when you wake up early, you’re more likely to take part in a fixed routine, and most importantly, you will eat a good breakfast. Late risers tend to skip breakfast to make up for the lost time, but this is a bad idea because your body needs those nutrients in the morning for energy and focusing on your tasks. Some of the most successful people in the world are early risers. It’s simple: if you wake up early, you get more time to get things done. There are less distractions in the early hours of the day and your brain is charged and ready to work hard. You are at your efficient best and will get things done quickly and efficiently. When a man is healthy and wealthy, he automatically grows wise. Early morning is the best time for the students and other intellectual workers to go about their work. They are fresh after the night’s rest and there is not much noise at this time to disturb them.
Question 10. Shweta has to deliver a speech in the morning assembly on the topic: ‘The Generation Gap is destroying family life’. Write her speech in about 150-200 words. Answer:
THE GENERATION GAP IS DESTROYING FAMILY LIFE
Respected Chairman, honourable judges, members of the staff, and my dear Mends! I stand before you to speak my mind on “The Generation Gap is destroying family life’. There are many points to support this contention. The generation gap has caused à chasm between the old and the young. There is a clash of ideas and ideals, tastes, ways of thinking, and lifestyle. The young hanker after luxury, comfort, and material happiness. They believe in full enjoyment and complete freedom. The elders insist on moral and spiritual values. They advocate renunciation and control of desires. The children think that their parents are slaves to customs.
The generation gap is evident in behaviour and manners of the two classes. The elders believe in strict obedience to a superior authority. They want that children must respect their elders and learn to be polite. The children pine for freedom. They resent all sorts of curbs. They demand freedom of expression. They want to have a say in family affairs. They insist that their views must be given proper consideration. This leads to bickerings, heart-burning, and tension in the family.
The elders insist on discipline and strict compliance of their orders. They advocate smiling acceptance of punishment meted out for breach of discipline. The young insist on unrestrained freedom and frankness. They advocate freedom of self-expression and are unwilling to tolerate any interference in their personal affairs—career, love-affair, or marriage. Thus there is a wide gap between the two generations. This difference in their way of thinking and behaviour is destroying family life. Hence, I conclude that ‘The generation gap is destroying family life’. Thank you.

They can also refer to some of the tips and tricks they can use while writing a speech.

The samples are provided in the table below to make it easy to comprehend how to write a speech.
Students can refer to some of the samples given below for their reference.
Sample 1: Emphasizing the Importance of Cleanliness
According to John Wesley, “Cleanliness is next to godliness”.
Hello, respected principal, teachers, and my dear colleagues. I (Name of the Student) is here today to draw attention to the value of cleanliness to all of you.
Being or maintaining cleanliness is a quality or condition of being clean. Everyone needs to be educated on cleanliness, hygiene, and the various diseases that result from poor hygiene. It is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment at home, at school, and for physical well-being. An unclean atmosphere encourages a lot of mosquitos to breed and spread harmful diseases. On the other hand, inadequate personal hygiene lowers immunity and contributes to a number of skin conditions.
We should encourage children to wash their hands before and after meals, brush their teeth, and take regular baths. The "Swachh Bharat" campaign, launched by the Indian Prime Minister on October 2, 2014, aims to provide every family with access to sanitation services such as toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and appropriate drinking water sources.
The "Clean India Campaign" is being actively supported by teachers and students in schools.
Healthy bodies and minds promote broader productivity, higher living standards, and economic growth. As a result, a healthy environment is one that is clean and green. Cleanliness is thus regarded as a symbol of mental purity.
Sample 2: Corruption
Honorable principal, respected teachers, and my dear friends: I'm going to share my thoughts on the subject of "Corruption is an Evil and the Need to Crush It" today.
Corruption is the act of bribery and fraud committed in order to achieve personal objectives by engaging in unfair activities. This evil has existed in civilization from the beginning of time. This evil has spread to every industry and has evolved into a widespread practice.
What might lead somebody to engage in corruption? These could include a need for fame, wealth, power, and possessions. It is a ladder of achievement that people climb to the top of by abusing the rules and rules and regulations, employing improper favors, and strategies.
Many different kinds of corruption are common, including nepotism, carelessness of duty, theft of public resources, and fraud. The rights of the common man are being decreased because of corruption, which also hurts the image of our country.
Since we are the society's youth, we must get rid of our country of corruption. One of the largest anti-corruption movements in the history of the country is the one led by Anna Hazare for the Jan LokPal Bill.
Since corruption spreads from the bottom to the top, it needs to be stopped there. A monitoring committee should be in place with good monitoring to keep an eye on corrupt officials and their actions. Corrupt individuals should face severe penalties and punishment. We need to promote awareness among people, support them in speaking out, and help eliminate corruption.

The two main objectives of speech writing should be to communicate with the audience, and to encourage them to agree with what we have presented. A speech should usually include the following.
Introduction
The first thing to address in speech writing is what the speechwriter expects to accomplish. The goals will influence the structure and speech of the language, leading to more detailed insights.
- The speech should be appropriate for the intended audience.
- The most important sentence in a speech is the first sentence because it determines whether the audience will read it or not.
- Depending on the topic and the purpose of the speech, the writer can captivate the audience with happy, sad, frightening or unexpected stories.
The majority of the speech writing format should be written to present ideas and supporting information. Students should concentrate on one idea at a time, and then fully examine it before moving on to the next.
- They must provide smooth, logical flows from one information to the next.
- When writing an informative or provocative speech, the writer should use the problem-and-solution and solution approach to structure it.
- As a result, they should start out their speech by outlining what is wrong before moving on to how to fix it in the part that comes next.
- Students must be careful to create a consistent tone for the speech.
- The speech's overall tone communicates its original idea, which might range from sad to positive, humorous to demanding.
- The language used and delivery manner will have an impact on the speech's tone.
While writing a conclusion for speech writing, students must highlight the primary reasons by summarizing key takeaways or providing one last example that perfectly supports what students have written in their speech.
- Once the writer has finished writing their speech, they should go back to it several times to identify areas for improvement.
- The conclusion should be written such that the viewers should take away something from the conclusion.
- It might be a message, an appeal for support, or a summary of a speech.
- Analyze the speech from top to bottom once students are done writing.
- By doing this, the writer can assess whether it seems logical and identify if any difficult parts can be cut, worked out, or better explained.
Some of the tips that students can follow while in speech writing are given below.
- Make sure that the language that the students are using is appropriate for the audience they are speaking to.
- Using references is suggested. Examples and references can be used as an opening statement or a closing sentence. Students can also add a quote in between the speech.
- Students must make sure to use paragraphs when writing.
- Study last year's question papers to get a brief idea of what topics students can expect in their coming exams..
- Read editorials or opinions in the newspaper. They offer different perspectives and thoughts that could be useful in exams.
- Students can write a list of all the important points on the rough sheet to ensure that they don't miss anything important while speech writing. This helps you in keeping a pattern, which is essential.
- Presentation quality is important.
- Make sure you check the content of the speech twice for spelling and grammatical errors.
- Students must make sure there are enough lines in between paragraphs to make it look neat.
- Always keep a few general phrases ready that can be added to speech writing. They act as a supporting factor to your speech.

During the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus, the government issued a list of preventive measures that could help keep us safe from infection. The guidelines included steps like washing your hands properly and frequently, covering your face while sneezing or coughing, and regularly cleaning commonly touched surfaces to stop the spread of the virus.
You see, all of these tips are not new to us. We have been aware of them since childhood, but somehow we never followed them strictly.
However, we can promise ourselves to continue following these steps even after the threat of COVID-19 is lifted. Organisations like schools and offices should also continue enforcing these rules. We should all continue keeping our homes and roads clean to make this world a better place.

According to the latest report, there is a gradual decline in the population of the girl child because of the misconception still prevailing in our society that girls are considered a burden on the family. We live in a country of Rani Laxmibai, Kalpana Chawla, Sarojini Naidu, and many other strong and inspirational women, still, this is the condition of the girls in our country. It is hard to believe that such atrocities prevail in the country which preaches "Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao".
To stop this, women have to become empowered with mental and emotional strength and with assertiveness to say NO, The solution to save the girl child lies in women. It is time women stood up together and took a resolution to put an end to all atrocities done to them.

How to do Speech Writing?
Speech Writing is very important topic for class 12. Here is a guideline for writing an effective speech:
Speech Writing Title: “The Importance of Embracing Change”
Introduction.
- Greeting : “Good morning everyone,”
- Purpose : “Today, I want to talk about a constant in all our lives – change.”
- Hook : “Imagine a world where everything remains static – no growth, no progress, just a monotonous continuity. Hard to envision, right?”
- “Change is the law of life, impacting our personal and professional spheres. It’s inevitable and essential for growth.”
- Share a personal story or historical example illustrating the positive impact of change.
- “Consider the technological advancements over the last decade, transforming how we communicate and access information.”
- “Embracing change opens up opportunities for learning and innovation. It fosters adaptability, a critical skill in today’s fast-paced world.”
- “Change challenges our comfort zones, pushing us to explore new horizons and perspectives.”
- Address common fears or resistance to change.
- “It’s natural to fear the unknown. Change can be uncomfortable, but it’s also a catalyst for personal development.”
- Encourage the audience to be open to change in their lives.
- “Let’s welcome change, not as a disruption, but as a path to new opportunities.”
- Summarize Key Points : Recap the importance of change and its impact.
- Closing Remark : “In the words of Mahatma Gandhi, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world.’ Let’s be agents of positive change, starting today.”
- Thank You : “Thank you for your attention, and let’s embrace the journey of change together.”
Tips for Speech Writing:
- Clarity : Ensure your speech has a clear structure and message.
- Engagement : Use anecdotes, questions, or quotes to engage the audience.
- Persuasive Elements : Use facts, statistics, or examples to support your points.
- Language : Keep the language appropriate for the audience and occasion.
- Practice : Rehearse your speech to maintain a good flow and confidence.
Remember, a good speech is not just about delivering information, but also about connecting with the audience and leaving a lasting impact.
Speech Writing Format
The speech writing format is as follows:
- Introduction: Introduce the topic and introduce yourself before introducing the audience.
- Body: Detailed presentation of the subject, outlining salient points, potential advantages, and disadvantages, and so forth.
- Conclusion: Summarize your speech, bring it to a close, and give your audience something compelling to ponder.
Let’s take a closer look at each component of the speech writing format.
The introduction ought to grab your attention after the greetings. Get everyone’s attention right away. Engaging the audience and persuading them to believe or act in your favour are the two main objectives of a speech. Effective introductions must contain the following:
- A brief summary of your subject.
- Define your speech’s general structure. (For instance, I’ll discuss First..Second..Third.)
Start off by making a statement about the room or a tale, quotation, fact, or joke. It shouldn’t go past three or four lines. (For instance, “Mahatma Gandhi once stated…” or “This subject makes me think of a certain occurrence or tale…”) This section is crucial since it’s at this point that your audience will determine whether or not to pay attention to your speech. Maintain a factual, captivating, and persuasive introduction.
It is the most crucial section of every speech. If you want to persuade the audience to agree with you, you should offer a variety of justifications and arguments.
A crucial part of speech writing is handling objections. A speech is a monologue, thus there is no time for queries or concerns. An effective speech will handle any issues that may arise during it. As a result, you’ll be prepared to react to queries that the audience may have. You can organize the information into a flow chart to make speaking easier.
The finish ought to leave the audience with something. It might serve as a reminder, a rallying cry, a synopsis of your speech, or a narrative. As an illustration, “It is up to us to decide the future of our planet, our home, by starting waste management at our personal areas.”
Add a few sentences thanking the audience for their time after you’ve finished.
For instance, “Thank you for being such a great audience and for your time. I hope you learned anything from this speech.
Speech Writing Examples for Students
One of Martin Luther King Jr.’s most well-known speeches is “I Have A Dream.” Its effects have persisted for many generations. Using the aforementioned strategies, the speech is written. Here are a few instances:
“still cruelly bound by the chains of racism and the manacles of segregation” emotional Language
In a way, we’ve travelled to the capital of our country to cash a check. – Making the speech more unique
A call to action: “to stand up for freedom together.”
This is an important illustration of how to write a speech with the audience in mind. The rhetoric used in the speech, which was delivered in 1963, was popular with a particular audience.
Example: You are Rajendra Kumar, a social worker. You read an article in The Hindu on ‘Health Care for Indian Workers’. Write a speech in 125-150 words on the importance of health care to be delivered at a public function to create awareness among the workers. (Delhi 2014)
Unfortunately, the health care options accessible to Indian workers are by far the worst, despite the fact that they make up the majority of the population.
Good morning to all! As a social worker, Rajendra Kumar, I’ve come before you all to discuss the value of health care for Indian employees.
I firmly believe that there is a noticeable lack of a comprehensive and long-term plan that meets the health care demands of Indian employees. Despite India’s significant economic progress, its advantages have not been shared equally, and there are still significant gaps in the workers’ health care in our nation. It is necessary to address the disparities in health care access between demographic groups within the population. It is a known truth that a sizable portion of our workforce is prevented from not only rising over the poverty line but is also lowering a large portion of their lot below the line due to out-of-pocket medical expenses brought on by a lack of access to quality public health care.
The general public must now exert pressure on our various political representatives and hold them responsible in order to ensure that they prioritise improving the health care provided to Indian workers.
Speech Writing Examples 1: Inspirational Speech
“Good morning, everyone! Today, I stand before you to share a simple message: Believe in yourself. We all face challenges and setbacks in life, but it’s how we respond to them that defines us. Remember, you have the power to overcome any obstacle.
Think about the great minds of history, like Thomas Edison, who failed countless times before inventing the light bulb. Or Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her seat sparked a revolution. These individuals believed in their abilities and refused to let failure hold them back.
So, I urge you to embrace your unique talents and dreams. Don’t let fear or self-doubt overshadow your potential. Surround yourself with positive influences, set clear goals, and work relentlessly toward them.
Remember, success is not always measured by the end result but by the journey. Embrace failures as opportunities for growth and learning. Believe in yourself, and others will believe in you too.
As we go forth from this gathering, let us carry the torch of self-belief, inspiring others along the way. Together, we can achieve greatness and make a difference in the world.
Thank you.”
Speech Writing Example 2: Commencement Address
“Graduates, faculty, honored guests, and fellow students, congratulations on reaching this significant milestone. Today, we stand at the threshold of a new chapter in our lives, filled with possibilities and endless opportunities.
As we reflect on the past years, we realize the importance of perseverance and determination. We have faced numerous challenges, both academically and personally, but we have overcome them, emerging stronger and wiser.
Now, as we embark on this new journey, let us remember the values instilled in us by our institution. Let integrity guide our actions, compassion drive our interactions, and curiosity fuel our quest for knowledge.
We are the architects of our future, and it is our responsibility to make a positive impact on the world. Let us use our education and skills to address the pressing issues of our time, be it climate change, social inequality, or technological advancements.
Graduates, believe in yourselves and your abilities. Trust that you have been equipped with the tools necessary to navigate the challenges that lie ahead. Embrace the unknown, take risks, and never stop learning.
In conclusion, as we step into the world, let us carry the lessons learned and memories cherished. Let us make a difference, not just for ourselves but for the betterment of society.
Congratulations, Class of [year]. Our future awaits us!”
Speech Writing Example 3: Persuasive Speech
“Ladies and gentlemen, today I stand before you to discuss an issue that demands our attention: the importance of recycling. As our planet faces environmental challenges, it is our duty to take action and preserve the Earth for future generations.
By recycling, we can significantly reduce waste and conserve valuable resources. It’s a simple act that has far-reaching impacts. Recycling paper, plastic, glass, and metal can save energy, reduce pollution, and slow down the depletion of natural resources.
Moreover, recycling helps combat climate change. The production of new materials releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. By recycling, we can decrease the demand for new production, thereby reducing carbon emissions.
But recycling is not just an individual responsibility; it’s a collective effort. Governments, businesses, and communities must work together to establish effective recycling programs, improve infrastructure, and raise awareness.
I urge you all to incorporate recycling into your daily lives. Encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to do the same. Educate yourselves about proper recycling practices and advocate for stronger environmental policies.
Remember, our actions today will shape the world we pass on to future generations. Let us choose a path of sustainability, where recycling becomes a way of life.
Thank you for your attention and let us commit to making a difference.”
Speech Writing Example 4: Informative Speech
“Ladies and gentlemen, today I want to shed light on an issue that affects millions of people around the world: mental health. Mental health is a vital aspect of our well-being, yet it is often overlooked or stigmatized.
Statistics show that one in four individuals will experience a mental health disorder at some point in their lives. It’s time we break the silence and create a society that fosters understanding and support.
Mental health conditions are not a sign of weakness; they are illnesses that require care and treatment. It is crucial to recognize the signs and symptoms and seek help when needed. Let us erase the misconception that seeking support is a sign of failure.
In addition, we must strive to create an inclusive environment that promotes mental well-being. Education and awareness are key to dismantling the stigma surrounding mental health. Let’s engage in open conversations, provide resources, and offer support to those in need.
Furthermore, we must advocate for accessible and affordable mental health services. Governments and healthcare systems must prioritize mental health funding, ensuring that individuals can access the care they deserve.
Remember, mental health is just as important as physical health. Let us stand together, break the barriers, and create a society that supports and empowers those facing mental health challenges.
Speech Writing Example 5: Motivational Speech for a Team
“Team, I stand before you today to acknowledge the remarkable journey we have embarked on together. As a collective, we have achieved great feats, faced challenges head-on, and grown stronger with each step.
In this dynamic and competitive world, success lies in our ability to work as a cohesive unit, leveraging each other’s strengths. We are a team that embodies collaboration, trust, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Let us remember that greatness is not achieved by individual triumphs alone but by our collective efforts. Together, we have created a culture that fosters innovation, embraces diversity, and encourages personal and professional growth.
But our journey does not end here; it is merely a milestone in the greater pursuit of our goals. Let us set even higher benchmarks, challenge ourselves to reach new heights, and inspire each other to excel.
In times of adversity, let us rally together, supporting and uplifting one another. Remember, it is during the most challenging moments that our true character shines through. Embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation.
As we move forward, let us hold on to the passion that drives us, the camaraderie that unites us, and the unwavering belief in our collective potential. Together, there is no limit to what we can achieve.
Thank you for being part of this incredible team. Let us continue our journey with enthusiasm and determination.”

Speech Writing Process
Writing a good speech is an art. However, with constant practice and the right approach, one can write a good speech. We can write a good speech by using the following steps.
Select a goal and a topic: What topics would you like to discuss and why? Your goal should be to inform, entertain, or persuade your audience, and your topic should be something you are interested in and knowledgeable about.
Examine your target audience: You are talking to whom? What requirements and interests do they have? To what extent do they already understand your topic? Adjust your speech to the comprehension and interest level of your audience.
Examine your subject: Collect data from reliable sources to bolster your primary arguments. This could involve doing your own research, speaking with experts, or reading books, articles, and websites.
Construct an outline: This will assist you in structuring your ideas and guarantee that your speech follows a logical flow. Your introduction, key ideas, illustrative examples, and conclusion should all be included in your outline.
Compose the speech: You can start writing your speech once you have an outline. Make sure your wording is precise and succinct, and refrain from employing excessive jargon. Make sure your speech is the right length and flows naturally by practicing giving it out loud.
Edit and revise the speech: After you’ve written a draught of your speech, thoroughly review it and make any required changes. Make careful to proofread for punctuation, grammatical, and spelling mistakes.
Rehearse giving your speech: You will be more at ease and confident when giving your speech the more you rehearse. Practice in front of a small group of people, a mirror, or a friend or family member.
How to write a good speech?
- Know why you are giving the speech: Before you start writing, you must be aware of why you are doing it. Determine whether the speech needs to be motivational, entertaining, or just informative.
- Decide who your audience is: The main factor to consider while writing or giving a speech is your audience. You cannot write a strong and suitable speech unless you are aware of your target audience.
- Set the speech’s duration: Whatever the subject, make sure to keep it concise and direct. A speech will become repetitive and uninteresting if it is longer than it has to be.
- Reviewing and practising the speech is important since you might have missed a few small flaws when you first wrote it. Until you are certain that you have it right, edit and revise. Make as much practise as necessary to avoid stammering in front of your audience.
- Mention your main points after the speech: The key themes that have received a lot of attention and have the potential to change are called takeaways. Always leave your listeners with a concept or idea to consider when you finish speaking.

What is the importance of speech writing?
Writing down a speech is essential since it allows you to better understand the subject, organize your ideas, avoid mistakes in your speech, become more comfortable with it, and raise the overall caliber of the speech.
How do you write up a speech?
Know why you are giving the speech: Before you start writing, you must be aware of why you are doing it. Determine whether the speech needs to be motivational, entertaining, or just informative. Decide who your audience is: The main factor to consider while writing or giving a speech is your audience. You cannot write a strong and suitable speech unless you are aware of your target audience. Set the speech's duration: Whatever the subject, make sure to keep it concise and direct. A speech will become repetitive and uninteresting if it is longer than it has to be. Reviewing and practising the speech is important since you might have missed a few small flaws when you first wrote it. Until you are certain that you have it right, edit and revise. Make as much practise as necessary to avoid stammering in front of your audience. Mention your main points after the speech: The key themes that have received a lot of attention and have the potential to change are called takeaways. Always leave your listeners with a concept or idea to consider when you finish speaking.
How do I start writing a speech?
Start off by making a statement about the room or a tale, quotation, fact, or joke. It shouldn't go past three or four lines. (For instance, "Mahatma Gandhi once stated..." or "This subject makes me think of a certain occurrence or tale...")
What is basic speech?
Introduction, body, and conclusion are the three fundamental components of speeches and presentations.
