Question

After going through the message on the school notice board, draft a speech to be delivered on the occasion of Std. X farewell.
SCHOOL NOTICE BOARD
Meeting is with pleasure,
Pating is with pain,
May life shower its treasure,
On you, now and again,
Wishing you all the best,
For your future.

Answer 1

Hint: A speech to be delivered is a mix of formal and semi-formal since you are addressing both your teachers and your classmates. It should not be very long.

Complete answer:
A very good morning to my respected teachers and my beloved friends.
It has been twelve years since I stepped into this school. On the first day of school, when everything was new to me, Ma’am. Chakraborty, who is the kindest soul any child has met, led me to my seat. That was the day I fell in love with my school. It is not the infrastructure which makes your school memorable, but the people.

On the way to Standard X, I have met some of the nicest people in my batch. I would like to specially mention Dhurva who really helped me in making my projects. We have all met our best friends here and teachers we can never forget. Who can forget Sir Gomes who always comes at sharp 9 AM for the English class and used to close the door so that anybody playing outside could not come in anymore? Also, we will forever remember Ma’am A. Sam for making the class enjoyable with her straight-faced jokes.

We have made some beautiful memories. Our whole batch was punished outside in the playground for throwing water at each other in class. The times we used to eat our lunch secretly in class, the times we decided to bunk class but was too late to leave the class and of course all the events we religiously participated in and brought trophies for the school are all memories we will cherish no matter how old we grow.
We are glad to have been a part of this school, this batch and we are thankful to all the teachers who have made us into who we are today. This parting is going to be painful but we have our memories to support us. I hope all of us have a good and bright future ahead. Good luck to all of you. Thank you.

Note: All the names used in the above speech are fictional. You may use the names of your friends and teachers. A good speech should have a good flow. There should be paragraphs for proper understanding. Remember that you are speaking for your batch as well so do not centre the speech only around yourself. You may include one or two memories of yours.
