EXAMPLE 1: 

You have observed that many students come to school without taking breakfast which is not good for their health. You want to make them aware about the importance of taking breakfast for which you want to address the students in morning assembly. Write the speech. You are Mohit/Mohini a student of XI class. 

A very good morning to respected principal sir, teachers, and my friends. Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of having breakfast. 

Breakfast is like the fuel that jumpstarts our day. Just like a car needs fuel to run smoothly, our bodies need breakfast to function properly. Imagine waking up and starting your day without any energy. That's what happens when you skip breakfast. Breakfast gives our bodies the nutrients and energy they need after a night of rest. It helps us concentrate better, think clearly, and stay focused in school or at work. 

Eating breakfast also helps to control our weight. When we skip breakfast, we might end up eating more unhealthy snacks later in the day. But when we start our day with a healthy meal, we're less likely to overeat later on. 

Breakfast doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as simple as a bowl of cereal, some fruit, or a slice of toast. What matters is that we give our bodies the nourishment they need to start the day right. 

So, let's make it a habit to never skip breakfast. It's a small change that can make a big difference in how we feel and perform throughout the day. Remember, breakfast isn't just a meal – it's a key to a healthier and happier you. 

Thank you for listening to me so patiently.

EXAMPLE 2:

You are Aman/Anita, a student of class XI. You have recently read the chapter “The Address” which made you realize the horrors of war. You want to sensitize your fellow students that War is No Solution”. Write a speech for yourself to be delivered in the morning assembly. (200 words)

A very good morning to respected principal sir, teachers, and my friends. Today I, Aman of class XI, want to address an important issue that affects not only our generation but also the world at large. The topic I want to discuss is "War is no Solution."

In an era where information travels faster than ever, it's crucial to recognize that war brings about destruction and suffering that lingers long after the conflict ends. The loss of lives and the impact on families and communities cannot be justified.

War also carries a heavy economic burden. Resources that could be used for education, healthcare, and development are diverted towards military endeavors. The aftermath of war leaves scars on economies that can take years, if not decades, to heal.

Furthermore, war disrupts the harmony of our global community. Instead of fostering understanding and cooperation, it fosters fear and mistrust among nations. It's essential that we seek peaceful alternatives, like diplomacy and dialogue, to resolve conflicts and address the root causes.

As young leaders of tomorrow, it's our duty to advocate for peace and promote a world where differences are settled through conversation rather than violence. Let's commit ourselves to understanding and tolerance, and work towards a future where "war" becomes just a word in history books, not a reality we have to endure.

Thank you.
