Short Speech on the Good and Bad Effects of Competition

Events
We can observe most of the good and bad effects of competition within the school. The same thing happens in the world outside— only on a larger scale.In a school, we have examinations; inter-school, inter-house and inter-class sporting events; and debating, elocution, quiz, essay and other contests. They constitute the highlights of school life.Most often, students study best (and hardest) before an examination. Sometimes, during this period, they absorb in a single week a quantity of academic matter they had not been able to digest in the preceding few months! Importance attached to an examination acts as a spur to their mental powers and they discover new levels of ability in themselves. image source: petroleumkings.com/ ADVERTISEMENTS: If one were to strike out all the examinations, and therefore all competition, from…

Short Speech on Superstition (461 Words)

Tourism
Beware of the black cat because it forebodes destruction for you! Breaking a glass on the eve of a journey brings seven years of bad luck! There are witches and black magicians who can cast a spell on you and make you respond mechanically to their dark wishes. Such beliefs still exist in our ‘educated’ society.Superstitions, according to some thinkers, are man’s attempt to know the unknown and explain the inexplicable. For example, a man has two serious accidents on Thursdays in a particular year. Next year he has another accident on a Thursday. He reaches the profound conclusion that God does not want him to travel on Thursdays. He therefore consults an astrologer about preventing ill-luck on a Thursday.Astrologers nowadays are generally well- spoken and highly educated cheats. They…

Short Speech on the Importance of Outdoor Games

Games
You can do stationary running within the four walls of your room or you can opt for a jog out of doors, which is usually done fairly early in the morning. Both are similar exercises. The first has its advantages—it saves time and you can do it when you want. The latter is physically more demanding and time-consuming, but if to exercise the body is one’s goal, it is far superior to the former. Besides, out of doors there is sunlight and fresh air, which are important for good health.Researchers in Australia have discovered a clear connection between high levels of outdoor activity and low rates of short-sightedness. They surmise that this is probably because of the intensity of light that children are exposed to outside.The outdoors are naturally more…
