Example: 1 you are ashish / Ashna of D.A.V, public school, Rohtak , you have observed that tuition centres are mushrooming at a high rate these days, they charge very high fee and assure the students of better marks and seats, in professional colleges, almost all the students of secondary, / Sr, secondary join tuition centres or coaching centres, write a debate in around 150-200 words either in favour of or against the topic are” tuition or coaching centres, a Necessity for students”?
Answer:
Value points,
Favour –Tuition or coaching centres are a Necessity for students,
I para: begin with honourable judges and my dear friends, . I stand before you to express my views for / against the motion tuition or coaching centres are a necessity for students, ?
For / Favour
coaching centres / tuition centres a necessary evil,
- age of tough competition
- getting admission in prestigious college a status symbol
- more number of students but less no of seats
- parents not updated with the changing trends,
- don’t have time mostly working parents, not expert in all subjects
- all coaching centres take this benefits
- employ subject expert / expert faculty members,
- easily approachable
- give additional examination tips
- more over result oriented teaching
- though these centres charge high fess, keep tining of their own choice , have large group to teach, students bunk their school yet, these desperately required by the students for their careers, Thanks,
Debate: Against the motion of topics tuition / coaching centres a Necessity for students,
- Disagree that these centres are a necessity for students, Though these days trends towards these centres students find it a status symbol to attach with prestigious coaching centres, ,
- parent pay high fess-become over burdened -always in pressure
- students have no time to relax, recreate themselves
- run to and from tuition
- no time to revise the course content
- become sandwich between school and coaching centres
- sometime get result below their expectation
- become depressed commit suicide
- develop inferiority complex if parents are incapable of playing fees of these centres,
According to me ban these centres, schools should hold extra–classes -provide coaching to prepare for competitive exams,
- NO extra fee for as public / private schools already charge heavy, fees,
- In government schools administrative department should appoint subject experts to prepare students for competitive tests-coaching should be given after the school is over.
- students will be happy, relaxed more time to study and prepare for exams-bunking of school-parents less burdened .
Example:2 ARE OLD HOMES NECESSARY?
Answer:
favour: Honourble jury members, teachers and my dear friends, A very good morning to all of you. Today I am here to present my view in favour of the motion’ are old age homes necessary? in today’s world old age homes are necessary especially in india parents, educate their children and then they travel to different places and countries which may not suit their parents, are good they, want to allow them to go for good positions around the world, parents can’t go with them as the climate any not be suitable for them to live in good conditions, they are ready to pay amount for their welfare,
old age homes supply a number of needs to old people, first among these, is security both financially , physically and medically , though not necessarily in that order, in today’s world people are very busy due to various reasons the main one being money-making or work . there are some people who only care. about money and think their parent as a burden . some people are forced to be involved in money making for their living, even if they wish , to it’s difficult look after their parents, in both cases the children abandon them in such a situation the old age homes play an important role, if elders are kept here they will have regular medical check-ups and a time their own , people can play, interact and relax at the same, time, not necessary you just leave them there and don’t even bother to visit them, children often have the facilities to visit their parent or grandparents or any relative in the old age homes i feel we need old age homes to give some people shelter and to others the time of their lives,
Thank you
Against: Honourable jury members , teachers and ,my dear friends . A very good morning to all you. Today i am here present my view against the motion are old age homes necessary? we must care for parents who cared for us they have spent their whole life time for us and its our responsibility to care for them in turn, we care now busy in work and at high position because of them if they hadn’t spent money or us we couldn’t have this life now. if we care for our parents now them only our children will care for us,
they cared for us we should take care them, they are the ones who will never leave, us I am really against the idea of leaving our parents in old age, home as, now they have grow up and have brought us to this stage now it’s our time to take care of them most of the persons leave their parents as they are illiterate or they think that they will not be able to move ahead in proper attention and medical treatment, they will not get the same mental peace and emotional satisfaction they get in their house, they will find it harder to bothered to leave their own house, premises
Thank you
