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.

Components of a Speech Introduction

Introduction It begins with greeting the Chief Guest / Principal / teachers and other listeners. It may include a striking statement, short anecdote, a saying or anything else which will immediately make the audience interested. Then the topic of the speech will be announced along with the occasion, if required.

Elaboration of the topic It will include a sequence of ideas to build up to the summing up and conclusion. You may include examples, evidence or data to support the ideas. You can paint verbal pictures and dramatise or personalise the information.

Summing up Summarise the most important points in your speech but do not repeat them.

Conclusion. Depending on the purpose of your speech, conclude with a call for an action, an appeal, a warning, a request and an expression of thanks.

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.

Speech Writing Format Class 11, 12 

Speech Writing Format – In order to write a perfect speech, we must be well acquainted with the topic and must possess a wide range of vocabulary, a thorough knowledge of the subject, some research, and excellent organizational skills. Here are the ideal format and tips to help you write your perfect speech.

A perfect speech must consist of:-

1. HEADING – The heading should be catchy and in not more than 5-6 words. You can go as creative as you want with this one just make sure you do not devote too much time to it in the exam.

2. OPENING LINE- This includes salutations, introduction, and the topic. Make sure you do not mention your personal details (name, school name, etc.).

Speech writing Example – Respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends! Today, I (the name is given in the question) stand before you all to speak on the topic “(given in the question)”.

OR you could start with a quote related to the topic and then go with the salutations and introduction.

1. BODY- It is the main part of your writing piece.

2. It is always prescribed that you begin with a short introduction on the topic, it’s meant to be precise.

3. Then you need to explain the current situation, the problems (if any), and whether after any corrective actions, betterment in the situation has been observed or not.

4. It may include advantages/ disadvantages depending upon the topic in question.

5. Now here, it is important you follow a sequence. It is possible that you have too many points or very few points. When you have a lot of varied points, it is better you choose a few best ones and write a line on each. In case you have very few already, explain them in at least two lines each.

6. You have to strictly follow the prescribed word limit in a limited time frame so just do not go on writing and writing.

7. MOST IMPORTANT- Always begin with your strongest point. You can accommodate the weaker ones in between and end with another strong point.

8. Feel free to give your personal opinion in one or two lines.

9. It is very important that you do not deviate from the topic. There are chances you may get ideas linking from one to another that may deviate you from the main point. You have to refrain from doing so.

1. As Mukul / Mahima of Alps Public School, write a speech to be delivered in school assembly highlighting the importance of cleanliness suggesting that the state of cleanliness reflects the character of its citizens. (150-200 words) (10) (CBSE Sample Question Paper 2018-19)

IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS.

In the words of the great John Wesley, “Cleanliness is next to godliness” Good Morning respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, I, Mukul/Mahima, stand before you all, to highlight the importance of cleanliness.

Cleanliness is the state or quality of being clean or being kept clean. It is essential for everyone to learn about cleanliness, hygiene, sanitation and the various diseases that are caused due to poor hygienic conditions. It is crucial for physical well-being and maintaining a healthy environment at home and at school. An unclean environment is an invitation for a lot of mosquitoes to breed in and spread deadly diseases. On the other hand, not maintaining personal hygiene leads to a lot of skin problems and decreased immunity.

The habits learnt at a young age get embedded into one’s personality. Even if we inculcate certain habits like washing hands before and after meals, regular brushing and bathing from a young age, we are not bothered about keeping public places clean. For this, on 2nd October, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister launched a nation-wide cleanliness campaign, “ Swachh Bharat” to provide sanitation facilities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and adequate drinking water supply. Teachers and students of schools are joining this ‘Clean India Campaign’ very actively with great fervour and joy.

Good health will ensure a healthy mind, which will lead to increased overall productivity resulting in higher standards of living, thus developing the economy. It will boost India’s international image. Thus, a clean environment is a green environment with less people falling ill. Cleanliness, hence, is defined to be the emblem of purity of mind.

2. You are Ali/Alia, Head girl / Head boy of your school. You are deeply disturbed by the rising cases of aggressive behaviour of students in your school. You decide to speak during the morning assembly about it. Write a speech on ‘Indiscipline in Schools’. (150 – 200 words) (10) (CBSE ALL INDIA Board 2017-18)

INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS

It has been reported that number of fights and cases of bullying has gone up tremendously in the last few months in our school. Good morning to one and all present here. Today, I, Ali/Alia, your head boy/girl stand before you to throw light upon the grave issue of “Increasing Indiscipline in Schools”.

It has been brought into lime light that disobedience of teachers, bullying, fights with peers, truancy and insults is becoming a common trend. Not only this, there have been complaints of parents witnessing a shift in their children’s attitude. This is resulting in a lot of children getting hurt emotionally, mentally and physically. The impact this attitude is having on kids at early age is disastrous and irreversible.

Not to forget the damage that has been done to the school property. Stealing chalks, scribbling on desks, walls and washroom doors, destroying CCTV cameras and the list goes on. By doing this, we are only letting us deprive ourselves of the amenities being provided to us.

After a lot of meetings, lack of proper guidance, excessive use of social media and peer pressure have been observed to be the root causes of the problem. The counsel is taking steps to improve the situation. Life skill classes are being made mandatory for everyone. Teachings will include counselling, motivation and inculcating friendly values. Seminars for parents and students will be regularly organised. A counsellor to help you all share your feelings, grudges and sharing your personal problem is being made available. We are doing everything we can and expect the same from you.

So, let’s join our hands together and build an environment where we encourage, motivate, help and be kind to each other for we are good and civilised beings capable of a lot of love.

3. The recent rise in incidents of violent behaviour of students is a matter of concern for all. The problem can be curbed if students learn how to manage anger. Write a speech on the topic in 150-200 words to be delivered in the school morning assembly. (10) (CBSE COMPARTMENT JULY 2018)

HOW TO MANAGE ANGER

Honourable Principal, Respected teachers and my dear friends, today I would like to share with you few “Ways to Manage Anger”.

The growing intolerance among the new generation resulting in violence towards teachers is a matter of grave concern. The old-age guru-shishya parampara is losing its sheen. Aggressiveness in students may be triggered by several things: as a self-defence reaction, stressful situation, over-stimulation or lack of adult supervision.

It has become the need of the hour to curb the situation. Life skills classes shall be inculcated in the time-table. Teachers should be given training to handle such defiant and hostile behaviour. Meditation and deep breathing also helps and thus, should be practiced every morning. Students must be taught to count till 10 before reacting in anger. Also, sessions on anger management and it’s far-reaching importance must be held.

Remember, Anger is one letter short of danger. It makes it all the more important to be able to diffuse one’s anger. It’s never too late to begin because a wise man once said,

“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of your peace of mind.”

4. Write a speech in 150-200 words on ‘Benefits of early rising’ to be delivered by you in the morning assembly of your school. You are Karuna/Karan, Head Girl/Head Boy. (10) (CBSE 2016)

BENEFITS OF EARLY RISING

Honourable Principal, Respected teachers and my dear friends, today I, Karuna/Karan, your Head Girl/Head Boy stand before you all to highlight the far-reaching “Benefits of Early-rising”.

“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a person healthy, wealthy and wise.”

The words of Benjamin Franklin have been backed by science. It has been proved that morning people are persistent and proactive. It leads to better performance, greater success, and higher standards of living. Rising up early also relieves stress and tension because it gives you the time to squeeze in a workout before you get distracted. This is why; morning people tend to be healthier and happier as well as have lower body mass indexes.

For this, one needs to maintain a proper schedule and has to go to bed on time. You should restrict the usage of gadgets immediately before going to bed and these tiny steps will help you become an early riser. Researchers have also said that early morning is the best time to study and gain knowledge. This will help you in staying ahead in the class and keep your grades up. Most entrepreneurs are early risers as they believe it is the key to a successful, happy and content life.

Hence, if you don’t develop a habit of waking up before the rest of the world, you won’t be able to change the world.

Importance of Good Hygiene in Mitigating the Spread of Deadly Diseases

Good morning, respected principal, teachers, and my dear friends. Today, I, Nidhi, stand before you all to discuss the importance of good hygiene in mitigating the spread of deadly diseases.

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.

Decline in the Girl Child Population

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.

Speech Writing Class 11

Speech writing is an important skill, especially for students in Class 11,12, as it helps in developing their ability to express thoughts coherently and persuasively. Speech is a means of spreading a message to other people. Popular leaders of the world in all domains connect with the masses through this speech.

Writing a speech means expressing your opinions on a subject or demonstrating your vehement opposition to a particular notion. You need a powerful, authoritative voice to give a speech that is effective, but what you say is more crucial than how you sound. The preparation of a speech writing is just as important as the delivery of the speech to your audience.

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.

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.”

Please note that the word counts provided for each example are approximate and may vary slightly depending on formatting and specific word choices.

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.

Speech Writing Format CBSE Class 11 Examples, Samples, Topics

♦ Format:

(a) Address the gathering, e.g., Respected Principal, teachers, students, Good Morning. (b) Speech in three or four paragraphs. (c) A speech ends with Thank you. The speaker thanks the listeners for their patient hearing. Content:

♦ Content:

According to the occasion, you may include quotations. Organise the speech into introduction, main points and conclusion.

Language and style should be a mingling of the serious and conversational modes.

Question 1. You are Mukesh/Mukta of Saket. You have been reading the news items on Nithari killings. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be given in the morning assembly, stressing the need of keeping a close vigil on the anti-social elements of the locality and taking care of young children of the area so that they don’t fall prey to bad characters. Answer:

Crimes Against Children by Mukta (XIA)

Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends. Good Morning. I am Mukta of Class XI. Today I would like to share my views with you on crimes against children. It is a horrifying reality with which we have to contend.

Some recent tragic events have opened our eyes to the magnitude of crimes against children. Mostly, children are kidnapped for ransom if they are from rich families, or for begging and stealing if they are from ordinary families. Cases of child abuse are growing in alarming proportions.

The most disgusting and horrifying of these cases was the one discovered at Noida, where the owner- servant team carried out dastardly crimes against children behind closed doors. Investigations are unveiling horrible acts.

In such a scenario, it is imperative that parents take good care of their children. Children should be trained not to.trust strangers.

The security of a neighbourhood depends on the alertness of the citizens. We have a tremendous responsibility towards our youngsters.

I hope my words will make you think about the matter. Thank you

Question 2. Children usually come to school without taking breakfast in the morning and eat junk food from the school canteen. This habit affects adversely the performance of students in academics and sports. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be given in your school assembly about ‘How Health is Affected by Lifestyle’. Answer:

How Health is Affected by Lifestyle

Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends,

Good morning, I am Mamta of XI A, and I wish to speak to you on a very important matter. I wish to speak to you on how our health is affected by our lifestyle.

Yesterday, a class VI student fainted in the assembly. The reason was that she had not taken her breakfast of porridge, fruit and milk. She wanted noodles only with coffee!

Friends, the breakfast her mother had prepared was nutritious, it would have given her energy for the whole day. If we fill our stomach, meal after meal, with junk food, how shall we grow tall and strong? How will we get the energy for mental work?

Like food, rest is an important part of our lifestyle. My friend Roshan was unable to answer his English paper in the unit test; he was feeling sleepy. He had studied till 3 a.m. because he thought English could be studied in a few hours. Had he been regular in work and study, he would have done well, for he is very intelligent.

My last word is for my obese friends who form almost 30% of our student body. Exercise, exercise and regular exercise is the answer to your problems.

I sincerely hope you will improve your lifestyle to be healthier and stronger.

♦ Analysis:

• Notice that the speech opens with an address to the listeners. They are addressed in order of importance. Do not forget to address the student audience.
• Notice the conclusion. The speech ends with thanking the audience.
• Notice that the language and style are more conversational than that of an article.
• The structure of the content of a speech is very similar to that of an article/essay, i.e., having an introduction, main body and conclusion.

Question 3. A recent survey by the Ministry of Health shows that the growing tendency of obesity among children today is caused by addiction to junk food and lack of physical exercise, and it adversely affects their learning power. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be delivered in the morning assembly of the school highlighting the importance of good health and motivating the children to eat healthy, balanced diet. Answer:

Side Effects of Junk Food

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, teachers, and dear friends. Good morning.

I am grateful to the Principal, Dr N. Ravi, for giving me this opportunity to speak on a matter that is close to the heart of all teenagers.

As I stand here, I can see about eight to ten overweight students in each class line. Surely, they are embarrassed and have become the butt of jokes. To look fit and trim is vital for a good personality.

Friends, I want you to look at your daily routine and see what you are doing to get this bulky figure. Are you excessively fond of cold drinks, pizzas and hamburgers? Do you love to sit before TV and munch wafers and packaged chips of all brands ? Is your favorite snack during the long break everyday a spicy oily ‘samosa’ or ‘bread pakora’?

Later in the evening do you just sit indoors and work on your computer, complete your homework or watch TV ?

If the answer to these questions is ‘Yes’, you know why you have this ungainly figure. In order to be slim and athletic, you need to eat right, exercise briskly in fresh air and live a disciplined life. The food that your mother prepares is what you should consume rather than junk food.

Question 4. With the visual media technology overtaking the print-media, you have observed a decline in the people’s interest in reading books. You are disturbed by this excessive dependence of the young on television and computer games as the source of entertainment. Write a speech in 150-200 words for your school magazine on the “Pleasures of Reading” or “The Company of Books. ” Answer:

The Pleasures of Reading by ABC

Reading affords pleasure like no other activity. It is deeply fulfilling and satisfying. While reading, the reader is in direct communication with the writer, however distant he may be in time or space. The reader is fully focussed and enjoys the content as well as the beauty and power of language. Reading offers an infinite variety according to one’s taste. Knowledge, imagination and the reader’s own appreciation of the written word are some of the rewards of reading. If one is adventurous, one can venture into unknown cultures through books. For example, a reading of Tolstoy or Chekhov gives us an insight into the life of the Russians as a reading of Dickens gives us of the British, particularly of London dwellers.

Reading makes us more sensitive to human greatness as well as human suffering. A reading of Premchand’s short stories acquaints us with the strengths and weaknesses of human character. The classics of literature are eternal in their appeal.

Unfortunately, today most of us visit the celluloid version of Sharat Chandra’s ‘Devdas’ three four times, and the original printed one not even once.

Question 5. The world that we are living in is under a great threat of extinction. Large scale pollution, deforestation and industrialization are suffocating the environment. You, as a concerned citizen, want to share the causes and effects of global warming. You would also like to give a few suggestions on how to contribute to the making of a better world. As Vivek/Vineeta Arora, Head Boy/Girl of the school, prepare a speech on this issue for the morning assembly under the heading “The Hazards of Global Warming”. (150-200 words) Answer:

The Hazards of Global Warming

This morning, I wish to draw your attention to the catastrophe that is slowly and surely coming towards us. I am talking about the hazards of global warming.

Some of my friends may not be aware of ‘global warming’. This term means the rise of the temperature of the atmosphere surrounding our planet. This is happening because of over industrialisation, large-scale pollution and deforestation. Hot emissions from industry and release of chemicals in the air are making the atmosphere of the earth warmer.

What are the hazards of global warming? Already, the polar ice caps have started melting. This can bring disaster to the world. Huge glaciers in the Himalayas and other mountains are shrinking. This will cause a rise in the sea level and will eventually lead to the flooding of coastal areas. Global warming will also bring about changes in the world climate. There will be excess rains, floods, unbearable heat and cold. These changes will surely bring disaster to the flora and fauna of our planet.

What can we do about this problem? The countries need to exercise discipline ajpout putting up industries. Effective measures to control pollution are needed.

Friends, I have tried to acquaint you with the problem the whole world is facing.

Question 6. You are the Class Representative, Class XI of Gandhi Memorial School, Pushp Vihar. You have been asked to prepare a speech on the need to imbibe principles of truthfulness, gentleness and cooperation to counter the growing violence in today’s world. Write this speech in 150-200 words. Answer:

Today, I wish to speak to you on the very familiar subject of values like truthfulness, gentleness and cooperation. If we wish to counter the growing violence around us, these values are the only recourse open to us. (Develop these points).

Truthfulness – the basis of social stability – will rid society of deceit and fraud – example of Gandhiji! who could defeat the mighty British with the weapon of truth.

Gentleness – tolerance of the other colour, religion and caste, patience and compassion advocated by Buddha and Mahavir.

Cooperation – inevitable in the era of globalization.

Question 7. You are Rajini/Rajat Gaur. After seeing some obese children in your school, you are worried about the craze for junk food and electronic gadgets in students. Write a speech to be read out in the morning assembly highlighting the need to have good eating habits and the benefits of outdoor activities. (Word limit: 150-200 words) Answer:

Respected principal, teachers and dear friends. Today I am standing before you to express my views on the topic “obesity among school children”. Obesity has become a cause of concern for one and all. With the entry of companies like McDonalds, Kentucky chicken, wimpeys, Pizza Huts, etc. the concept of fast food has spread like a wild fire. More and more school children have taken to chocolates and soft drinks without worrying for colories. The result is obesity increasing by leaps and bounds among school children.

‘Junk food’ appeals to our taste buds but our digestive system repels it. Oil and extra fat harm our liver. We put on flesh and increase our weight. Fresh home cooked meals are hygenic, better and full of vitamins. Minerals can be easily digested. Our food should consist of coarse cereals, green and leafy vegetables, fruits, and pulses, etc. To keep ourselves agile, energetic and robust, we must do physical exercises, play games like football, badminton, kabbaddi, volleyball, etc.

By eating healthy food, doing regular physical activities not only our body will be healthy and toned our minds would remain active. I hope you all will give some consideration to my suggestion and try to instil it in your daily routine.

Thank you all for giving me a patient hearing.

Question 8. Yoga is beneficial. Speak about the benefits of yoga in the morning assembly. (Word limit: 150-200) Answer:

Respected Principal, teachers and friends, a very good morning to one and all. Today I am standing before you to express my views on the benefits of practising yoga.

Many of us perform yoga but do we know what this entails and why is it performed? Basically yoga is a means to attain balance in our body, i.e., gaining strength, increasing flexibility and attaining spirituality. Postures and asanas are an indispensable part of yoga. These are performed keeping in mind all the body parts, combining breathing practices, and include guided mediation, Yoga is a union between body and mind. In other words, we can say it is a balance between mind and helps us keep ourselves fit and fine.

Yoga has the potential to cure many diseases like respiratory problem, abdominal problem and diseases related to the nervous system. Yoga helps in releasing toxins, reduces stress and increases concentration. In short, yoga helps us keep disease-free, happy, wealthy, wise and toned up. Yoga is a never-ending process. The deeper you delve into it the more fruitfull will be the results.

I would like to end my speech on this note.

Why do one Children need Worksheets for Practice ?

It is very old saying that one can build a large building if the foundation is strong and sturdy. This holds true for studies also. Worksheets are essential and help students in the in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts. Practicing solving a lot of worksheets, solving numerous types of questions on each topic holds the key for success. Once basic concepts and fundamentals have been learnt, the next thing is to learn their applications by practicing problems. Practicing the problems helps us immensely to gauge how well we have understood the concepts.

There are times when students just run through any particular topic with casual awareness there by missing out on a few imperative “between the lines” concepts. Such things are the major causes of weak fundamental understandings of students. So in such cases Worksheets act as a boon and critical helpful tool which gauges the in-depth understanding of children highlighting doubts and misconceptions, if any.

Worksheets classifies the important aspects of any topic or chapter taught in the class in a very easy manner and increases the awareness amongst students.When students try to solve a worksheet they get to understand what are the key important factors which needs the main focus.Sometimes it happens that due to shortage of time all the major points of any particular topic gets skipped in the class or teacher rushes through , due to shortage of time. A worksheet thus provides a framework for the entire chapter and can help covering those important aspects which were rushed in the class and ensure that students record and understand all key items.

In a class of its say 40 students howsoever teacher tries to be active and work towards making each student understand whatever she has to teach in the class but there are always some students who tend to be in their own world and they wander in their thoughts.Worksheets which are provided timely to all the students, causes them to focus on the material at hand. it’s simply the difference between passive and active learning. Worksheets of this type can be used to introduce new material, particularly material with many new definitions and terms.

Worksheets help students be focussed and attentive in the class because they know after the class is over they will be assigned a worksheet which they need to solve so if they miss or skip any point in the class they may not be able to solve the worksheet completely and thereby lose reputation in the class.

Often students revise the chapter at home reading their respective textbooks. Thus more often than not they do miss many important points. Worksheets thus can be used intentionally to help guide student’s to consult textbooks. Having students write out responses encourages their engagement with the textbooks, the questions chosen indicate areas on which to focus. Explicitly discussing the worksheets and why particular questions are asked helps students reflect on what is important.

Speech Writing

• Updated on  
• Jan 16, 2024

The power of good, inspiring, motivating, and thought-provoking speeches can never be overlooked. If we retrospect, a good speech has not only won people’s hearts but also has been a verbal tool to conquer nations. For centuries, many leaders have used this instrument to charm audiences with their powerful speeches. Apart from vocalizing your speech perfectly, the words you choose in a speech carry immense weight, and practising speech writing begins with our school life. Speech writing is an important part of the English syllabus for Class 12th, Class 11th, and Class 8th to 10th. This blog brings you the Speech Writing format, samples, examples, tips, and tricks!

This Blog Includes:

What is speech writing, speech in english language writing, how do you begin an english-language speech, introduction, how to write a speech, speech writing samples, example of a great speech, english speech topics, practice time.

Must Read: Story Writing Format for Class 9 & 10

Speech writing is the art of using proper grammar and expression to convey a thought or message to a reader. Speech writing isn’t all that distinct from other types of narrative writing. However, students should be aware of certain distinct punctuation and writing style techniques. While writing the ideal speech might be challenging, sticking to the appropriate speech writing structure will ensure that you never fall short.

“There are three things to aim at in public speaking: first, to get into your subject, then to get your subject into yourself, and lastly, to get your subject into the heart of your audience.”- Alexander Gregg

The English language includes eight parts of speech i.e. nouns , pronouns , verbs , adjectives 410 , adverbs , prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections.

• Noun- A noun is a word that describes anything, such as an animal, a person, a place, or an emotion. Nouns are the building blocks for most sentences.
• Pronoun – Pronouns are words that can be used in place of nouns. They are used so that we don’t have to repeat words. This makes our writing and speaking much more natural.
• Verb – A verb is a term that implies activity or ‘doing.’ These are very vital for your children’s grammar studies, as a sentence cannot be complete without a verb.
• Adjective – An adjective is a term that describes something. An adjective is frequently used before a noun to add extra information or description.
• Prepositions- A preposition is a term that expresses the location or timing of something in relation to something else.
• Conjunction- Because every language has its own set of conjunctions, English conjunctions differ from those found in other languages. They’re typically used as a connecting word between two statements, concepts, or ideas.
• Interjections- Interjections are words that are used to describe a strong emotion or a sudden feeling.

The way you start your English speech can set the tone for the remainder of it. This semester, there are a variety of options for you to begin presentations in your classes. For example, try some of these engaging speech in English language starters.

• Rhetorical questions : A rhetorical question is a figure of speech that uses a question to convey a point rather than asking for a response. The answer to a rhetorical question may be clear, yet the questioner asks it to emphasize the point. Rhetorical questions may be a good method for students to start their English speeches. This method of introducing your material might be appealing to the viewers and encourage them to consider how they personally relate to your issue.
• Statistics: When making an instructive or persuasive speech in an English class, statistics can help to strengthen the speaker’s authority and understanding of the subject. To get your point over quickly and create an emotional response, try using an unexpected statistic or fact that will resonate with the audience.
• Set up an imaginary scene: Create an imaginary situation in your audience’s thoughts if you want to persuade them to agree with you with your speech. This method of starting your speech assists each member of the audience in visualizing a fantastic scenario that you wish to see come true.

Format of Speech Writing

Here is the format of Speech Writing:

• Introduction : Greet the audience, tell them about yourself and further introduce the topic.
• Body : Present the topic in an elaborate way, explaining its key features, pros and cons, if any and the like.
• Conclusion : Summary of your speech, wrap up the topic and leave your audience with a compelling reminder to think about!

Let’s further understand each element of the format of Speech Writing in further detail:

After the greetings, the Introduction has to be attention-getting. Quickly get people’s attention. The goal of a speech is to engage the audience and persuade them to think or act in your favour. The introduction must effectively include: 

• A brief preview of your topic. 
• Define the outlines of your speech. (For example, I’ll be talking about…First..Second…Third)
• Begin with a story, quote, fact, joke, or observation in the room. It shouldn’t be longer than 3-4 lines. (For Example: “Mahatma Gandhi said once…”, or “This topic reminds me of an incident/story…”)

This part is also important because that’s when your audience decides if the speech is worth their time. Keep your introduction factual, interesting, and convincing.

It is the most important part of any speech. You should provide a number of reasons and arguments to convince the audience to agree with you.

Handling objections is an important aspect of speech composition. There is no time for questions or concerns since a speech is a monologue. Any concerns that may occur during the speech will be addressed by a powerful speech. As a result, you’ll be able to respond to questions as they come in from the crowd. To make speech simpler you can prepare a flow chart of the details in a systematic way.

For example: If your speech is about waste management; distribute information and arrange it according to subparagraphs for your reference. It could include:

• What is Waste Management?
• Major techniques used to manage waste
• Advantages of Waste Management  
• Importance of Waste Management 

The conclusion should be something that the audience takes with them. It could be a reminder, a collective call to action, a summary of your speech, or a story. For example: “It is upon us to choose the fate of our home, the earth by choosing to begin waste management at our personal spaces.”

After concluding, add a few lines of gratitude to the audience for their time.

For example: “Thank you for being a wonderful audience and lending me your time. Hope this speech gave you something to take away.”

Practice Your Speech Writing with these English Speech topics for students !

A good speech is well-timed, informative, and thought-provoking. Here are the tips for writing a good school speech:

Speech Sandwich of Public Speaking

The introduction and conclusion must be crisp. People psychologically follow the primacy effect (tendency to remember the first part of the list/speech) and recency effect (tendency to recall the last part of the list/speech). 

Use Concrete Facts

Make sure you thoroughly research your topic. Including facts appeals to the audience and makes your speech stronger. How much waste is managed? Give names of organisations and provide numerical data in one line.

Use Rhetorical Strategies and Humour

Include one or two open-ended or thought-provoking questions.  For Example: “Would we want our future generation to face trouble due to global warming?” Also, make good use of humour and convenient jokes that engages your audience and keeps them listening.

Check Out: Message Writing

Know your Audience and Plan Accordingly

This is essential before writing your speech. To whom is it directed? The categorised audience on the basis of –

• Knowledge of the Topic (familiar or unfamiliar)

Use the information to formulate the speech accordingly, use information that they will understand, and a sentence that they can retain.

Timing Yourself is Important

An important aspect of your speech is to time yourself.  Don’t write a speech that exceeds your word limit. Here’s how can decide the right timing for your speech writing:

• A one-minute speech roughly requires around 130-150 words
• A two-minute speech requires roughly around 250-300 words

Speech Writing Examples

Here are some examples to help you understand how to write a good speech. Read these to prepare for your next speech:

Write a speech to be delivered in the school assembly as Rahul/ Rubaina of Delhi Public School emphasises the importance of cleanliness, implying that the level of cleanliness represents the character of its residents. (150-200 words)

“Cleanliness is next to godliness,” said the great John Wesley. Hello, respected principal, instructors, and good friends. Today, I, Rahul/Rubaina, stand in front of you all to emphasise the significance of cleanliness.

Cleanliness is the condition or attribute of being or remaining clean. Everyone must learn about cleaning, hygiene, sanitation, and the different diseases that are produced by unsanitary circumstances. It is essential for physical well-being and the maintenance of a healthy atmosphere at home and at school. A filthy atmosphere invites a large number of mosquitos to grow and spread dangerous diseases. On the other side, poor personal cleanliness causes a variety of skin disorders as well as lowered immunity.

Habits formed at a young age become ingrained in one’s personality. Even if we teach our children to wash their hands before and after meals, brush their teeth and bathe on a regular basis, we are unconcerned about keeping public places clean. On October 2, 2014, the Indian Prime Minister began the “Swachh Bharat” programme to offer sanitation amenities to every family, including toilets, solid and liquid waste disposal systems, village cleanliness, and safe and appropriate drinking water supplies. Teachers and children in schools are actively participating in the ‘Clean India Campaign’ with zeal and excitement.

Good health ensures a healthy mind, which leads to better overall productivity, higher living standards, and economic development. It will improve India’s international standing. As a result, a clean environment is a green environment with fewer illnesses. Thus, cleanliness is defined as a symbol of mental purity.

Thank you very much.

You are Sahil/Sanya, the school’s Head Girl/Head Boy. You are greatly troubled by the increasing instances of aggressive behaviour among your students. You decide to speak about it during the morning assembly. Create a speech about “School Discipline.” (150 – 200 words)

INDISCIPLINE IN SCHOOLS,

It has been reported that the frequency of fights and incidences of bullying in our school has increased dramatically in the previous several months. Good morning to everyone present. Today, I, Sahil/Sanya, your head boy/girl, am here to shed light on the serious topic of “Increased Indiscipline in Schools.”

It has come to light that instructor disobedience, bullying, confrontations with students, truancy, and insults are becoming more widespread. Furthermore, there have been reports of parents noticing a shift in their children’s attitudes. As a result, many children are suffering emotionally, psychologically, and physically. The impact of this mindset on children at a young age is devastating and irreversible.

Not to mention the harm done to the school’s property. Theft of chalk, scribbling on desks, walls and lavatory doors, destruction of CCTV cameras and so forth. We are merely depriving ourselves of the comforts granted to us by doing so.

Following numerous meetings, it was determined that the main reasons for the problem were a lack of sufficient guidance, excessive use of social media, and peer pressure. The council is working to make things better. Everyone is required to take life skills classes. Counselling, motivating, and instilling friendly ideals will be part of the curriculum. Seminars for parents and students will be held on a regular basis.

A counsellor is being made available to help you all discuss your sentiments, grudges, and personal problems. We are doing everything we can and expect you to do the same.

So, let us work together to create an environment in which we encourage, motivate, assist, and be nice to one another because we are good and civilised humans capable of a great deal of love.

The current increase in incidences of violent student misbehaviour is cause for alarm for everyone. Students who learn how to manage their anger can help to alleviate the situation. Write a 150-200-word speech about the topic to be delivered at the school’s morning assembly. (10)

HOW TO CONTROL ANGER

Honourable Principal, Respected Teachers, and Dear Friends, I’d like to share a few “Ways to Manage Anger” with you today.

The growing intolerance among the younger generation, which is resulting in violence against teachers, is cause for severe concern. The guru-shishya parampara is losing its lustre. Aggressive behaviour in students can be provoked by a variety of factors, including self-defence, stressful circumstance, over-stimulation, or a lack of adult supervision.

It has become imperative to address the situation. Life skills workshops will be included in the curriculum. Teachers should be trained to deal with such stubborn and confrontational behaviours. Meditation and deep breathing are very beneficial and should be practised every morning. Students should be taught to count to ten before reacting angrily. Sessions on anger control and its importance must also be held.

Remember that Anger is one letter away from danger. It becomes much more crucial to be able to control one’s rage. It’s never too late to start, as a wise man once said.

“Every minute you stay angry, you lose sixty seconds of peace of mind.”

Martin Luther King Jr’s ‘I Have A Dream’ is one of his most famous speeches. Its impact has lasted through generations. The speech is written by utilising the techniques above. Here are some examples:

“still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination” – emotive Language

“In a sense, we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check” – personalising the speech

“to stand up for freedom together” – a call to action.

Importantly, this is an example of how the listener comes first while drafting a speech. The language chosen appeals to a specific sort of audience and was widely utilised in 1963 when the speech was delivered.

Unsolved Questions for Practice: Speech Writing | Class 11 English Grammar PDF Download

Speech Writing

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.

Components of a Speech Introduction

It begins with greeting the Chief Guest / Principal / teachers and other listeners. It may include a striking statement, short anecdote, a saying or anything else which will immediately make the audience interested. Then the topic of the speech will be announced along with the occasion, if required. Elaboration of the topic It will include a sequence of ideas to build up to the summing up and conclusion. You may include examples, evidence or data to support the ideas. You can paint verbal pictures and dramatise or personalise the information.

Summing up Summarise the most important points in your speech but do not repeat them.

Depending on the purpose of your speech, conclude with a call for an action, an appeal, a warning, a request and an expression of thanks.

Points to be Kept in Mind

• A speech should begin with a catchy introduction in the form of an anecdote, quotation, statistical data or a thought provoking question.
• A speech must reflect the speaker’s clarity of thought, accuracy of facts and a balanced view through a comparison and contrast with other viewpoints.
• A speech may also give reference to newspaper reports, posters, advertisements or other stimuli.
• Restrict the main part of the speech to the word limit of 150-200 words.

Speech Writing Format

To enforce strict discipline in schools and colleges is a great problem nowadays. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be delivered in the school morning assembly on the problem of discipline.

Speech Writing Examples

Q.1. In order to promote reading habits in the students, your school has organised a Library Week. You are Ranjan/Reena. You have to speak in the morning assembly and inform the students about the week-long programme. You have noted the following points:

• days and dates
• new arrivals displayed
• exhibition of books by some publishers
• famous authors, I poets to visit and interact with students
• quizzes and competitions
• more facilities in the library
• new teenage magazines

Write your speech in 150-200 words.

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.

Q.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.

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. Thank you.

Question 1 - Speech - Writing - English Class 11

Last updated at April 16, 2024 by Teachoo

Youngsters can perform a significant role in curbing corruption. Write a speech to be given in the morning  assembly on the same topic.

You may include points like:.

• Education the need of the hour
• Saying no to donations
• Saying no to private tuitions
• Promoting merit based selection
• Equipping oneself with high education

  Role of Youth in Curbing Corruption  

1️⃣A very good morning to the respected Principal, teachers and my fellow students. Today, I, “XYZ” of class XI,  am going to present my views on the topic  “Role of youth in curbing Corruption”. 2️⃣Corruption is a habit and hence  everyone who holds an important position, is susceptible to it. There are people who can compete for certain jobs with greater chances of corruption and those who don’t have the chance, expect to minimise the corruption and keep complaining about it. 3️⃣But preventing and eradicating corruption is an absolute requirement for a better public life. As personal integrity is at stake, adolescents must rise to the fight against corruption on a personal level. Education is the key to eradicating corruption. 4️⃣Young people must say "no" to donations and private lessons. We need to promote a system of job selection based on merit, not bribery. Higher education is the key to eradicating corruption in our country. 5️⃣Ultimately, it is to form a national character. Nationality is nothing but a collective consciousness combined with courage. Don't turn young people into money machines. We must commit today to ending corruption at all levels.  

Thank you

Samples of Speech Writing for Class 11 and 12

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.

Tips for Speech Writing 

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.

CBSE Speech Writing Format For Class 11

Class 11 CBSE English paper is divided into two parts-- Part A is objective and Part B is subjective. The Part comprises subjective questions such as letter writing, notice writing, speech writing and literature based prose and poetry questions.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) releases the question paper formats for Class 11 students appearing for their final examinations on its website. The CBSE marking schemes are given by dividing the question paper into different sections and allocating weightage to them to give an idea to the students about the pattern of actual paper.

Read More|| CBSE Notice Writing Format 2021 For Class 12 Exams

Class 11 speech writing comes under long answer questions holding 5 marks. It is to be attempted within 120 to 150 words. It forms the creative writing section.

The Class 11 students are expected to write a speech on any contemporary topic which can be related to any social, political, cultural or economic issue.

The format of Class 11 speech writing has remained the same throughout the years.

The students are marked on the basis of the format that is the opening address and conclusion as the students must begin with greeting the audience and end with a small thank you note. Then two marks are given for the content which includes the knowledge of students on a particular topic that he or she has chosen. They must be aware of the facts and figures in case they are quoted in the exam. Two marks are allocated for grammar, vocabulary and sentence construction. Thus, the Class 11 students must be aware of the speech writing format and also prepare a topic or two in advance on which they can write a speech.

Usually CBSE question paper does not define the exact topic for the speech and gives the freedom to the students to choose any contemporary topic.

Format of Class 11 speech writing

A speech must consists of the following parts-

Heading- The heading must be relevant to the topic and determine the entire theme of the speech. This can be catchy and in not more than 5-6 words. It is advisable to form the speech headline, once the speech is written properly so that it matches the content.

Opening line- This includes salutations, introduction, and the topic. Make sure you do not mention your personal details.

Body- This would include the main content of the speech. Start with introducing the topic in brief 50 words, followed by relating it with the current situation. Utilise the left over words to relate the theme to any real-life example to give the speech some credibility. Then at then include your views on the subject that will help the examiner analyse your ability to form opinions and express them properly.

Earlier, the CBSE had allowed the affiliated schools to hold Class 11 exams from March onward.

Online Education for Speech Writing Format CBSE Class 11 Examples, Samples, Topics

Though speech is essentially an essay, it is significantly different. Whereas an essay or an article is read by people at a distance in time and place, a speech is delivered ‘live’ to an audience. This fact determines, to a great extent, the language and style of the composition.

A speech consists of the words spoken by a person to a gathering. The speaker could be a leader, a learned man, a man in a position of power and authority or an ordinary person, a student. The ‘address’, the language and style are determined by the occasion and the audience.

This grammar section explains Online Education English Grammar in a clear and simple way. There are example sentences to show how the language is used. NCERT Solutions for Class 11 English will help you to write better answers in your Class 11 exams. Because the Solutions are solved by subject matter experts. https://ncertmcq.com/speech-writing-format-cbse-class-11/

Write a speech in 150-200 words to be given in the morning assembly, stressing the need of keeping a close vigil on the anti-social elements of the locality and taking care of young children of the area so that they don’t fall prey to bad characters. Answer:

Crimes Against Children by Mukta (XIA)

Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends. Good Morning. I am Mukta of Class XI. Today I would like to share my views with you on crimes against children. It is a horrifying reality with which we have to contend.

Some recent tragic events have opened our eyes to the magnitude of crimes against children. Mostly, children are kidnapped for ransom if they are from rich families, or for begging and stealing if they are from ordinary families. Cases of child abuse are growing in alarming proportions.

The most disgusting and horrifying of these cases was the one discovered at Noida, where the owner- servant team carried out dastardly crimes against children behind closed doors. Investigations are unveiling horrible acts.

In such a scenario, it is imperative that parents take good care of their children. Children should be trained not to.trust strangers.

The security of a neighbourhood depends on the alertness of the citizens. We have a tremendous responsibility towards our youngsters.

I hope my words will make you think about the matter. Thank you

Format Of Speech Writing For Class 11 Question 2. Children usually come to school without taking breakfast in the morning and eat junk food from the school canteen. This habit affects adversely the performance of students in academics and sports. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be given in your school assembly about ‘How Health is Affected by Lifestyle’. Answer:

How Health is Affected by Lifestyle

Respected Principal, teachers and dear friends,

Good morning, I am Mamta of XI A, and I wish to speak to you on a very important matter. I wish to speak to you on how our health is affected by our lifestyle.

Yesterday, a class VI student fainted in the assembly. The reason was that she had not taken her breakfast of porridge, fruit and milk. She wanted noodles only with coffee!

Friends, the breakfast her mother had prepared was nutritious, it would have given her energy for the whole day. If we fill our stomach, meal after meal, with junk food, how shall we grow tall and strong? How will we get the energy for mental work?

Like food, rest is an important part of our lifestyle. My friend Roshan was unable to answer his English paper in the unit test; he was feeling sleepy. He had studied till 3 a.m. because he thought English could be studied in a few hours. Had he been regular in work and study, he would have done well, for he is very intelligent.

My last word is for my obese friends who form almost 30% of our student body. Exercise, exercise and regular exercise is the answer to your problems.

I sincerely hope you will improve your lifestyle to be healthier and stronger.

♦ Analysis:

• Notice that the speech opens with an address to the listeners. They are addressed in order of importance. Do not forget to address the student audience.
• Notice the conclusion. The speech ends with thanking the audience.
• Notice that the language and style are more conversational than that of an article.
• The structure of the content of a speech is very similar to that of an article/essay, i.e., having an introduction, main body and conclusion.

Speech Format Class 11 Question 3. A recent survey by the Ministry of Health shows that the growing tendency of obesity among children today is caused by addiction to junk food and lack of physical exercise, and it adversely affects their learning power. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be delivered in the morning assembly of the school highlighting the importance of good health and motivating the children to eat healthy, balanced diet. Answer:

Side Effects of Junk Food

Respected Principal, Vice Principal, teachers, and dear friends. Good morning.

I am grateful to the Principal, Dr N. Ravi, for giving me this opportunity to speak on a matter that is close to the heart of all teenagers.

As I stand here, I can see about eight to ten overweight students in each class line. Surely, they are embarrassed and have become the butt of jokes. To look fit and trim is vital for a good personality.

Friends, I want you to look at your daily routine and see what you are doing to get this bulky figure. Are you excessively fond of cold drinks, pizzas and hamburgers? Do you love to sit before TV and munch wafers and packaged chips of all brands ? Is your favorite snack during the long break everyday a spicy oily ‘samosa’ or ‘bread pakora’?

Later in the evening do you just sit indoors and work on your computer, complete your homework or watch TV ?

If the answer to these questions is ‘Yes’, you know why you have this ungainly figure. In order to be slim and athletic, you need to eat right, exercise briskly in fresh air and live a disciplined life. The food that your mother prepares is what you should consume rather than junk food.

Format Of Speech Writing Class 11 Question 4. With the visual media technology overtaking the print-media, you have observed a decline in the people’s interest in reading books. You are disturbed by this excessive dependence of the young on television and computer games as the source of entertainment. Write a speech in 150-200 words for your school magazine on the “Pleasures of Reading” or “The Company of Books. ” Answer:

The Pleasures of Reading by ABC

Reading affords pleasure like no other activity. It is deeply fulfilling and satisfying. While reading, the reader is in direct communication with the writer, however distant he may be in time or space. The reader is fully focussed and enjoys the content as well as the beauty and power of language. Reading offers an infinite variety according to one’s taste. Knowledge, imagination and the reader’s own appreciation of the written word are some of the rewards of reading. If one is adventurous, one can venture into unknown cultures through books. For example, a reading of Tolstoy or Chekhov gives us an insight into the life of the Russians as a reading of Dickens gives us of the British, particularly of London dwellers.

Reading makes us more sensitive to human greatness as well as human suffering. A reading of Premchand’s short stories acquaints us with the strengths and weaknesses of human character. The classics of literature are eternal in their appeal.

Unfortunately, today most of us visit the celluloid version of Sharat Chandra’s ‘Devdas’ three four times, and the original printed one not even once.

Speech Writing Format Class 11 Question 5. The world that we are living in is under a great threat of extinction. Large scale pollution, deforestation and industrialization are suffocating the environment. You, as a concerned citizen, want to share the causes and effects of global warming. You would also like to give a few suggestions on how to contribute to the making of a better world. As Vivek/Vineeta Arora, Head Boy/Girl of the school, prepare a speech on this issue for the morning assembly under the heading “The Hazards of Global Warming”. (150-200 words) Answer:

The Hazards of Global Warming

This morning, I wish to draw your attention to the catastrophe that is slowly and surely coming towards us. I am talking about the hazards of global warming.

Some of my friends may not be aware of ‘global warming’. This term means the rise of the temperature of the atmosphere surrounding our planet. This is happening because of over industrialisation, large-scale pollution and deforestation. Hot emissions from industry and release of chemicals in the air are making the atmosphere of the earth warmer.

What are the hazards of global warming? Already, the polar ice caps have started melting. This can bring disaster to the world. Huge glaciers in the Himalayas and other mountains are shrinking. This will cause a rise in the sea level and will eventually lead to the flooding of coastal areas. Global warming will also bring about changes in the world climate. There will be excess rains, floods, unbearable heat and cold. These changes will surely bring disaster to the flora and fauna of our planet.

What can we do about this problem? The countries need to exercise discipline ajpout putting up industries. Effective measures to control pollution are needed.

Friends, I have tried to acquaint you with the problem the whole world is facing.

Speech Writing Class 11 Format Question 6. You are the Class Representative, Class XI of Gandhi Memorial School, Pushp Vihar. You have been asked to prepare a speech on the need to imbibe principles of truthfulness, gentleness and cooperation to counter the growing violence in today’s world. Write this speech in 150-200 words. Answer:

Today, I wish to speak to you on the very familiar subject of values like truthfulness, gentleness and cooperation. If we wish to counter the growing violence around us, these values are the only recourse open to us. (Develop these points).

Truthfulness – the basis of social stability – will rid society of deceit and fraud – example of Gandhiji! who could defeat the mighty British with the weapon of truth.

Gentleness – tolerance of the other colour, religion and caste, patience and compassion advocated by Buddha and Mahavir.

Cooperation – inevitable in the era of globalization.

Speech Class 11 Question 7. You are Rajini/Rajat Gaur. After seeing some obese children in your school, you are worried about the craze for junk food and electronic gadgets in students. Write a speech to be read out in the morning assembly highlighting the need to have good eating habits and the benefits of outdoor activities. (Word limit: 150-200 words) Answer:

Respected principal, teachers and dear friends. Today I am standing before you to express my views on the topic “obesity among school children”. Obesity has become a cause of concern for one and all. With the entry of companies like McDonalds, Kentucky chicken, wimpeys, Pizza Huts, etc. the concept of fast food has spread like a wild fire. More and more school children have taken to chocolates and soft drinks without worrying for colories. The result is obesity increasing by leaps and bounds among school children.

‘Junk food’ appeals to our taste buds but our digestive system repels it. Oil and extra fat harm our liver. We put on flesh and increase our weight. Fresh home cooked meals are hygenic, better and full of vitamins. Minerals can be easily digested. Our food should consist of coarse cereals, green and leafy vegetables, fruits, and pulses, etc. To keep ourselves agile, energetic and robust, we must do physical exercises, play games like football, badminton, kabbaddi, volleyball, etc.

By eating healthy food, doing regular physical activities not only our body will be healthy and toned our minds would remain active. I hope you all will give some consideration to my suggestion and try to instil it in your daily routine.

Thank you all for giving me a patient hearing.

Speech Writing Examples For Class 11 Question 8. Yoga is beneficial. Speak about the benefits of yoga in the morning assembly. (Word limit: 150-200) Answer:

Respected Principal, teachers and friends, a very good morning to one and all. Today I am standing before you to express my views on the benefits of practising yoga.

Many of us perform yoga but do we know what this entails and why is it performed? Basically yoga is a means to attain balance in our body, i.e., gaining strength, increasing flexibility and attaining spirituality. Postures and asanas are an indispensable part of yoga. These are performed keeping in mind all the body parts, combining breathing practices, and include guided mediation, Yoga is a union between body and mind. In other words, we can say it is a balance between mind and helps us keep ourselves fit and fine.

Yoga has the potential to cure many diseases like respiratory problem, abdominal problem and diseases related to the nervous system. Yoga helps in releasing toxins, reduces stress and increases concentration. In short, yoga helps us keep disease-free, happy, wealthy, wise and toned up. Yoga is a never-ending process. The deeper you delve into it the more fruitfull will be the results.

I would like to end my speech on this note.

Speech Writing Format, Topics, Examples for Class 11 and 12

Speech writing on any particular topic requires a lot of research. Speech writing format also has to be structured well in order to properly get the message across to the target audience.

Table of Contents

Speech writing involves employing appropriate language and expression to communicate with the reader. Speech writing is not all that different from other narrative writing styles. However, there are specific punctuation and writing style strategies that pupils should be aware of while speech writing. Even though it may be difficult to write the perfect speech, using the right speech writing framework can guarantee that you never fail.

Speech Writing

Speech is a means of spreading a message to other people. Speech writing is a means of expressing your opinions on a subject or demonstrating your vehement opposition to a particular notion. You need a powerful, authoritative voice to give a speech that is effective, but what you say is more crucial than how you sound. The preparation of a speech writing is just as important as the delivery of the speech to your audience.

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.

Speeh Writing Format: Introduction

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.

Speech Writing Format: Body

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.

Speech Writing Format: Conclusion

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 Class 11 and 12

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 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.”

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.

Harris and Walz Campaign in Georgia as Fall Races Heat Up: Election Updates

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are taking a bus tour through rural Georgia on Wednesday before a packed Labor Day schedule, while Donald J. Trump and JD Vance have a busy lineup of events ahead this week.

• Share full article

Chris Cameron

Here’s the latest on the presidential race.

It’s not yet Labor Day, but the fall campaign season is hitting full swing. Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, started a bus tour in Georgia on Wednesday afternoon , after Mr. Walz began his day delivering a speech at a gathering of the International Association of Fire Fighters in Boston.

On Monday, Labor Day, Ms. Harris and President Biden are set to make their first joint campaign appearance since her nomination. She also plans to appear in Detroit, and Mr. Walz will head to Wisconsin, another battleground state.

Their Republican rivals, former President Donald J. Trump and Senator JD Vance of Ohio, have a busy slate as well, including several rallies this week and a town hall in La Crosse, Wis., on Thursday. Mr. Vance is making stops on Wednesday in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and on Thursday Mr. Trump will be in Michigan and Wisconsin.

While they flood the swing states with appearances and ads, the Harris and Trump campaigns are still tussling over the logistics of the ABC News presidential debate set for Sept. 10. Mr. Trump on Tuesday announced for a second time that he would participate in the debate, and he suggested that the question of whether microphones would be muted when a candidate wasn’t speaking had been resolved. But a person briefed on the Harris campaign’s thinking said the issue remained an open discussion, and a spokesman for ABC declined to comment.

Here’s what else to know:

Elon Musk hires up : The world’s richest person hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, suggesting he is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics. Get-out-the-vote efforts have been a priority for Mr. Musk, who has endorsed Mr. Trump.

Harris’s next big interview: Ms. Harris has agreed to her first major interview as the Democratic presidential nominee. She will appear on CNN alongside Mr. Walz for a joint interview on Thursday in Georgia.

Cemetery clash: Members of Mr. Trump’s campaign team and an official at Arlington National Cemetery confronted one another during the former president’s visit to the cemetery on Monday, the military cemetery said.

Kennedy and the whale: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sawed the head off a dead whale and drove it home, his daughter said in a 2012 magazine article that has recently resurfaced.

A focus on China: For two years, a rural town in the middle of Michigan has been embroiled in a civil war over plans by a Chinese-owned electric vehicle battery company to build a $2.4 billion factory. The Trump campaign is seeking to leverage local anti-China sentiment in its effort to win Michigan this fall.

Trump’s transition team: Mr. Trump put his former rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and a former Democratic congresswoman, Tulsi Gabbard, on his presidential transition team , which will help him select the policies and personnel of any second Trump administration. Mr. Kennedy ended his independent campaign for president and endorsed Mr. Trump on Friday.

Theodore Schleifer

Donald Trump’s main super PAC, MAGA Inc., made its largest independent expenditure of the cycle on Wednesday, spending $23 millon on TV and direct mail, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission. Over the last week, the group has spent over $45 million on attacking Kamala Harris.

Michael C. Bender

JD Vance ended his event in Wisconsin by declining to say whether presidential candidates should have to abide by federal law banning campaigns from filming at gravesites, as former President Donald J. Trump did at Arlington National Cemetery on Tuesday . Instead, Vance put the onus on military families.

“The right person to ask is the Gold Star families who invited Donald Trump and lost a loved one because of Kamala Harris’s failed policies,” Vance said, responding to a reporter’s question. “Were they happy to have the president of the United States there? They would say, ‘Absolutely, thank God somebody showed up.’”

Trump videos at Arlington stir more fallout after his gravesite visit.

The family of a Green Beret who died by suicide after serving eight combat tours and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery expressed concern on Wednesday that Donald J. Trump’s campaign had filmed his gravesite without permission as Mr. Trump stood in an area where campaign photography isn’t allowed.

Relatives of Master Sgt. Andrew Marckesano issued their statement two days after Mr. Trump’s visit, which also included a confrontation between members of the Trump campaign and an Arlington employee. The former president’s campaign took video in a heavily restricted section of the cemetery known as Section 60, which is largely reserved for the fallen veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

A woman who works at the cemetery filed an incident report with the military authorities over the altercation. But the official, who has not been identified, later declined to press charges. Military officials said she feared Mr. Trump’s supporters pursuing retaliation.

Sergeant Marckesano died on July 7, 2020, after moving to Washington to begin a job at the Pentagon. He had three children, and friends said he had chronic post-traumatic stress disorder from his time in combat. He earned Silver and Bronze Stars during his service. His gravesite is adjacent to that of Staff Sergeant Darin Taylor Hoover, a Marine who was killed in the 2021 bombing at Abbey Gate outside the Kabul airport in Afghanistan.

The Hoover family granted permission to the Trump team to film and take photographs at the gravesite; the Marckesano family did not, and filming and photographing at the gravesite for political purposes is a violation of federal law, according to cemetery officials. Yet Sergeant Marckesano’s grave was shown in photos from the visit that were published online. A video was posted to Mr. Trump’s TikTok account featuring footage from the Section 60 visit and the gravestones from behind, with narration criticizing the handling of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021.

In a statement from Sergeant Marckesano’s relatives after being contacted by The New York Times, his sister, Michele, said, “We fully support Staff Sergeant Darin Hoover’s family and the other families in their quest for answers and accountability regarding the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tragedy at Abbey Gate.”

“However,” she added, “according to our conversation with Arlington National Cemetery, the Trump campaign staffers did not adhere to the rules that were set in place for this visit to Staff Sergeant Hoover’s gravesite in Section 60, which lays directly next to my brother’s grave.”

Sergeant Marckesano’s sister continued, “We hope that those visiting this sacred site understand that these were real people who sacrificed for our freedom and that they are honored and respected accordingly.”

Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesman, did not address the statement from the Marckesano family, saying when asked about the TikTok video only that “the campaign will continue to respect the wishes of the Gold Star family members who invited President Trump.”

Sergeant Marckesano had served six tours in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne and others in combat overseas, according to news accounts at the time of his death. His family is said to have sought privacy since his death.

In the aftermath of the Monday altercation, the Army has closed the matter, after the Arlington official declined to press charges. According to three U.S. military officials, some Trump campaign members confronted and eventually pushed past the cemetery official when she tried to stop them from taking photos in Section 60.

Two Trump campaign officials, Mr. Cheung and Chris LaCivita, had insulted the cemetery worker in public statements on Tuesday. Mr. Cheung asserted that she was “suffering from a mental health episode” while Mr. LaCivita said that she was a “despicable individual” who “does not deserve to represent the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

Military officials said that the cemetery worker feared that pursuing the matter with the authorities at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia, which has jurisdiction over the cemetery, could subject her to retaliation from Trump supporters. Mr. Cheung said in a statement on Wednesday that “that is ridiculous and sounds like someone who has Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

The Trump team had said it was prepared to release footage of the altercation, but never did.

Several Army officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential aspects of the matter, on Wednesday sought to keep the politically charged issue from escalating. But at the same time, they defended the cemetery official and pushed back on attacks from the Trump campaign, with one official saying that the woman at the cemetery was just trying to do her job.

Since Monday, the former president’s cemetery visit has become increasingly scrutinized for its political nature.

He was there for a wreath-laying ceremony honoring 13 American troops who were killed in the Abbey Gate bombing during the United States’ Afghanistan withdrawal three years ago. Mr. Trump has said President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris bear responsibility for the bombing and America’s chaotic withdrawal, and repeated his attacks on the subject in campaign events after his visit to the cemetery.

Mr. Trump had laid three wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknowns on Monday morning, the third anniversary of the Abbey Gate bombing. Two of the wreaths were for Marines killed: Sergeant Hoover and Sgt. Nicole Gee. A third was dedicated to all 13 troops killed.

Mr. Trump was accompanied there by family members of the two slain Marines, as well as Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews and Corporal Kelsee Lainhart , two Marines who were injured in the Abbey Gate attack.

Mr. Trump then accompanied the families and Marine veterans to Section 60. That part of Mr. Trump’s visit was private and closed to the press, and resulted in the confrontation . In a statement, the cemetery said that federal law prohibited political campaigning or “election-related” activities within Army cemeteries, including by photographers, and that the prohibition was “widely shared” with those participating in the event.

For centuries the United States has tried to keep military might and partisan politics far from each other, to avoid the appearance of allegiances to a political party or ideology. Because of this, military members are forbidden from participating in partisan activities or endorsing candidates while in uniform and military bases are off-limits for political campaigns.

It was unclear on Wednesday whether the Defense Department would pursue a legal claim related to the episode.

Campaigning in Erie, Pa., on Wednesday, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, Mr. Trump’s running mate, blamed “some staff member” at the cemetery for the incident and criticized the media for reporting on it.

“Apparently somebody at Arlington Cemetery, some staff member had a little disagreement with somebody,” Mr. Vance said. “And they have turned — the media has turned this into a national news story.”

Photos of Mr. Trump’s visit to Section 60 were later published online. Mr. Trump was photographed giving a “thumbs up” to the camera standing behind the grave of Sergeant Hoover, with Sergeant Marckesano’s grave clearly visible a few feet away. Mr. Trump posted the video on TikTok on Tuesday that also showed the two headstones from behind as Mr. Trump laid flowers.

Gov. Spencer Cox of Utah, who published one photo of himself and Mr. Trump standing behind the graves on social media, apologized on Wednesday for including other photos of the visit to Section 60 in a campaign email that solicited donations.

“This was not a campaign event and was never intended to be used by the campaign,” Mr. Cox said on social media . “It did not go through the proper channels and should not have been sent. My campaign will be sending out an apology.”

Michael C. Bender contributed reporting from Erie, Pa., and Dave Philipps from Colorado Springs.

JD Vance opened his remarks in De Pere, Wisc., his second of two campaign events today, with an extraordinary take on Vice President Kamala Harris. “She pretty much agrees with Donald Trump on everything,” Vance said. That’s not true, and Vance did not provide examples. Instead, he joked with the crowd that “she doesn’t think she’s going to win this race and she’s auditioning for my job.”

Swifties for Kamala, a group that is not affiliated with Kamala Harris’s campaign or Taylor Swift, raised more than $120,000 for the campaign after hosting a two-hour organizing call Tuesday, said Irene Kim, a founder of the group. The call featured remarks from Carole King, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey of Massachusetts, and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Kim said some 34,000 people were on the call.

Harris tours Georgia as Democrats see the state fully in play.

Vice President Kamala Harris, aiming to go on offense against former President Donald J. Trump in Georgia, kicked off a bus tour on Wednesday in the rural southeastern corner of the battleground state.

Ms. Harris’s trip emphasizes a growing sense of optimism among Georgia Democrats that she could hold on to the state, which President Biden narrowly won in 2020. The Democratic ticket’s standing in the polls there has increased significantly since Mr. Biden dropped out of the race, although Ms. Harris still trails Mr. Trump, according to a New York Times polling average . Her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, joined her for the two-day bus tour, which is meant in part to mobilize rural Black voters and will culminate with a rally in Savannah.

The bus carrying Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz is emblazoned with the words “A New Way Forward,” which has become one of their campaign slogans as Democrats try to portray Mr. Trump as a creature of the past.

In her first stop on Wednesday, Ms. Harris visited a high school in Hinesville, Ga., a city of roughly 35,000 where nearly one in two residents are Black, to hear the school band play. After the performance, she stressed the importance of practice to the student musicians — comments that could have reflected on her own sudden journey from serving as vice president to becoming the Democratic nominee.

“It requires a whole lot of rehearsal, a whole lot of practice, long hours, right?” said Ms. Harris, adding that she, too, had played in school bands. “Sometimes you hit the note, sometimes you don’t, right? But all that practice makes for beautiful music, and that is a metaphor — that is symbolic — for everything that you all will do in your life.”

The bus tour’s route takes the candidates through a part of the state not often visited by Democrats, underscoring the campaign’s efforts to motivate rural voters. That is true not just in Georgia, but also in nearby North Carolina, a demographically similar Sunbelt state.

Both states have significant populations of Black voters, including many who live in rural areas. Democrats have said that they must drive up turnout outside major cities and suburbs to defeat Mr. Trump statewide. Polls show Ms. Harris performing far better in North Carolina than Mr. Biden did, and her allies in the state have compared the energy of her campaign to Barack Obama’s in 2008 , the last time a Democrat was victorious there.

Her swing through Georgia with Mr. Walz carries echoes of Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, in which he and Al Gore, his running mate, traversed the Peach State’s rural towns with their wives, as Mr. Clinton leaned on his Southern bona fides. Mr. Clinton later won Georgia by less than one percentage point, making him the last Democrat to take the state before Mr. Biden’s victory in 2020.

Mr. Biden won Georgia by fewer than 12,000 votes and lost North Carolina by under 75,000, his closest defeat in 2020. The two states, which had been leaning toward Mr. Trump before Ms. Harris’s rise, are now considered tossups. One of Mr. Trump’s clearest paths to victory would involve holding North Carolina and flipping Georgia and Pennsylvania, which, with 19 electoral votes, is the most valuable of the battleground states.

The Harris campaign knows that winning Georgia or North Carolina would almost certainly guarantee her the White House. A Democrat who can defeat Mr. Trump in those traditionally moderate states is likely to face a far easier route to victory in the union-heavy blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Republicans know that, too. Mr. Trump and his allies have invested heavily in advertising in Georgia and North Carolina.

“If Harris wins North Carolina, she’s the next president of the United States,” that state’s governor, Roy Cooper, a Democrat, said in an interview this month.

There has been some tension between Democrats in Georgia and North Carolina as they lobby their national party for resources .

North Carolina Democrats have been particularly motivated by the Republican candidate for governor, Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who is from his party’s far-right wing and has called for banning abortion at six weeks, before many women know they are pregnant. In contrast, Georgia has no competitive statewide races this year, unlike in 2020, when the Senate campaigns of Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff helped turn out Democrats alongside Mr. Biden.

That is part of why Democrats have set their sights beyond the deep-blue Metro Atlanta area and are trying to mobilize voters in Georgia’s southeast and coastal regions, where there are many Black voters whose support will matter at the margins.

“The coast matters,” said Aaron Whitely, the chair of the Democratic Party in Chatham County, which includes Savannah, a smaller Democratic stronghold. “It is not surprising to us that the blue wave is in full effect here.”

New York Times/Siena College polls this month found Mr. Trump leading Ms. Harris by four percentage points among likely voters in Georgia, but trailing her by two points in North Carolina. A previous Times/Siena survey of the Sun Belt states — which did not include North Carolina — found Mr. Trump beating Mr. Biden by eight points in Georgia.

Although Mr. Biden won in 2020 thanks in large part to turnout from Black voters, his support from them dimmed amid high inflation. Ms. Harris, who is Black and of South Asian descent, has re-energized many of them, polls show.

Black voters make up roughly one-third of the electorate in Georgia and one-quarter in North Carolina — higher levels than their representation nationwide. In 2020, about 13 percent of Americans who cast ballots were Black.

Georgia and North Carolina aren’t the only states where the Harris campaign is targeting rural voters. She and Mr. Walz also took a bus tour this month through a conservative county outside Pittsburgh.

Ms. Harris is raising money at a faster pace than Mr. Trump, allowing her to flood the airwaves in the battleground states. She has also built a more robust infrastructure of campaign offices and staff than Mr. Trump, which Democrats say will give her the advantage in getting out the vote. The Trump campaign is relying more on a force of volunteers and well-funded efforts from outside super PACs .

Later on Wednesday, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz stopped at a barbecue restaurant in Savannah. There, Mr. Walz displayed the kind of folksiness that Democrats hope will draw working- and middle-class voters, chatting about his children and “farm country.”

The Minnesota governor, a former high school social studies teacher and football coach, also found a table of patrons that included fellow teachers, who asked him for selfies.

“Can we do a teacher one?” a woman asked, before posing for a photo with Mr. Walz.

Donald Trump reposts a crude sexual remark about Kamala Harris on Truth Social.

Former President Donald J. Trump used his social-media website on Wednesday to amplify a crude remark about Vice President Kamala Harris that suggested Ms. Harris traded sexual favors to help her political career.

The post, by another user on Truth Social, was an image of Ms. Harris and Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s opponent in 2016. The text read: “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently…”

The remark was a reference to Mrs. Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, and the Monica Lewinsky scandal, and a right-wing contention that Ms. Harris’s romantic relationship with Willie Brown, the former mayor of San Francisco whom she dated in the mid-1990s while he was speaker of the California State Assembly, fueled her political rise.

Mr. Trump’s repost was the second time in 10 days that the former president shared content from his personal account making sexually oriented attacks on Ms. Harris. Though he has a history of making crass insults about his opponents, the reposts signal Mr. Trump’s willingness to continue to shatter longstanding norms of political speech.

The image Mr. Trump shared on Wednesday morning was another user’s screenshot of a post on X, and it was a reply to an unrelated video clip Mr. Trump had posted on Tuesday night.

Mr. Trump reposted the image as part of a series of 30 reposts he made on Truth Social between 8:02 and 8:32 a.m. on Wednesday, including several posts with references to the QAnon conspiracy theory movement and its slogan. Mr. Trump also reposted photos that called for the prosecution or imprisoning of top Democrats and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The former president has vowed to direct federal prosecutors to investigate his political enemies if elected.

Previously, on Aug. 18, Mr. Trump had shared a video from the Dilley Meme Team — a group of right-wing internet content creators that makes pro-Trump videos and memes denigrating his opponents — that parodied the Alanis Morissette song “Ironic” to attack Ms. Harris as “moronic.” In the parody song, the singer says Ms. Harris “spent her whole damn life down on her knees,” at which point a photo of Mr. Brown appears onscreen.

The Harris campaign, which has largely ignored Mr. Trump’s personal attacks, declined to comment.

Mr. Trump has repeatedly been accused of sexual misconduct and was found liable last year for sexual abuse and defamation. He has a history of attacking female opponents and critics in deeply personal terms, often describing them as mentally ill or at times expressing contempt in epithets.

Republicans close to Mr. Trump have expressed concern that he and his allies risk alienating women, Black voters and moderate swing-state voters if they continue to use racist and sexist attacks against Ms. Harris, the first Black woman and first person of South Asian descent to accept a major party’s presidential nomination. Mr. Trump last week acknowledged that some of his advisers have urged him to move away from personal attacks, a shift he said he did not plan to take.

Last month, Mr. Trump questioned Ms. Harris’s identity as a Black woman, suggesting at a convention of Black journalists that Ms. Harris had used her racial profile as a way to gain a political advantage.

The Trump campaign did not initially respond to a request for comment. But after this article was published online, Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for the Trump campaign, complained about The New York Times and said that Mr. Trump, in his reposts about Ms. Harris, “rightfully calls to question her ability to be commander in chief.” The campaign did not respond to questions about the content of these posts and whether Mr. Trump intends to continue such attacks on Ms. Harris. Ms. Leavitt added, “The Failing New York Times spends more time airing negative stories about President Trump than writing about the negative consequences of Kamala Harris’s policies as vice president.”

Ms. Harris has for decades been subject to attacks like the ones Mr. Trump amplified, though they became more frequent during the 2020 presidential campaign, when she was President Biden’s running mate. Critics pointed to her relationship with Mr. Brown as a way to question her qualifications. And after the right-wing radio host Rush Limbaugh suggested falsely, quoting from a conservative website, that Ms. Harris had “slept her way up,” T-shirts with the slogan “Joe and the Hoe” were worn by Mr. Trump’s supporters.

The slogan remained popular throughout Mr. Trump’s third presidential bid, and T-shirts bearing the phrase were frequently seen at Mr. Trump’s rallies up until Mr. Biden suspended his presidential bid.

Ms. Harris and her allies have over the years dismissed the claims that her relationship with Mr. Brown was central to her political rise, calling such attacks sexist and saying that she was qualified for positions she has held, including two state posts that Mr. Brown appointed her to, as well as winning elections as district attorney of San Francisco and California attorney general .

Mr. Trump frequently deployed gender-based attacks against Mrs. Clinton in his successful 2016 campaign. Faced with criticism over his treatment of women and the release of the “Access Hollywood” recording in which he crudely boasted about grabbing women’s genitals, Mr. Trump repeatedly pointed to the sexual indiscretions of Mrs. Clinton’s husband.

Throughout his political career, Mr. Trump has made a habit of sharing others’ divisive or offensive social media posts, then dismissing criticism by arguing he was simply reposting.

Last year, a jury found that Mr. Trump had sexually abused the writer E. Jean Carroll in a dressing room in the mid-1990s, then defamed her in a Truth Social post. Earlier this year, Ms. Carroll was awarded an $83.3 million judgment for continued attacks in social media posts.

Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, have arrived in Georgia for a two-day bus tour of the battleground state’s rural southeast corner. Democrats are aiming to go on the offensive against former President Donald J. Trump and are expressing renewed confidence about their chances of winning the state.

Their campaign bus, which is mostly blue with a red stripe and two large white stars, is emblazoned with a phrase that has become one of their campaign slogans: “A New Way Forward.”

Reporting from Washington

G.O.P. releases Jan. 6 footage, seeking to shift blame from Trump to Pelosi.

House Republicans on Wednesday made their latest attempt to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, releasing a video compilation that sought to shift blame away from former President Donald J. Trump and onto former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who was pursued that day by a violent mob of Trump supporters.

The Republican-controlled House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight released video clips, some previously unseen, shot for an HBO documentary about Ms. Pelosi. In them she is shown on the day of the riot venting her rage about the rampage at the Capitol, criticizing security officials for failing to anticipate and prevent it, and saying she felt responsible for their failure.

In the recordings, Ms. Pelosi rails against Mr. Trump and his role in firing up his supporters who stormed the Capitol, but also repeatedly suggests that she and her staff should have pushed the Capitol Police harder to make sure they were better prepared as Mr. Trump summoned thousands of his supporters to Washington to protest the transfer of power from the Trump administration to the Biden administration.

“I don’t care what they say — they should have had much more anticipation about the National Guard,” Ms. Pelosi said at one point during the footage.

At another point, she said: “I can’t believe the stupidity. I take full responsibility.”

In yet another clip, Ms. Pelosi hinted that Capitol Police officials might have deliberately failed to prepare enough, perhaps because they were sympathetic to Mr. Trump and his supporters.

“They thought these people would act civilized?” Ms. Pelosi said, sitting in the back of a car as her security detail whisked her away from an overrun Capitol to safety. “They thought these people gave a damn?”

She added: “Shame on us. I’m suspicious of their motivation, to tell you the truth.”

The video was shot for a documentary titled “Pelosi in the House” made by the filmmaker Alexandra Pelosi, Ms. Pelosi’s daughter.

Republicans, who have been working for years to absolve Mr. Trump for what happened on Jan. 6, used the footage as a fresh opportunity to blame the former speaker for the attack, when more than 150 police officers were injured and a handful of them ultimately lost their lives.

“For over three years, Nancy Pelosi has refused to take responsibility for her failure to secure the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, 2021,” said Representative Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, who is leading a Republican inquiry seeking to show bias in the work of the House committee that investigated the assault. “Instead, she has pushed the focus of the failure on President Trump. As speaker, she controlled House operations and security on the House side of the Capitol — which she acknowledges in this HBO footage.”

In fact, Ms. Pelosi was not solely responsible for the security of the Capitol that day. While the speaker wields considerable influence, security is the job of the Capitol Police, which is controlled by a board that includes one security official appointed by the speaker and one by the Senate leader, who at the time was Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky.

Ian Krager, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi, denounced the Republicans’ efforts.

“Numerous independent fact-checkers have confirmed again and again that Speaker Pelosi did not plan her own assassination on Jan. 6,” Mr. Krager said. “The speaker of the House is not in charge of the security of the Capitol Complex — on Jan. 6 or any other day of the week.”

In the video clips, Ms. Pelosi repeatedly made clear she believed that the blame for the attack fell on Mr. Trump, who spread lies about massive voter fraud stealing the 2020 election from him, fired up a rowdy crowd of his supporters near the White House and directed them to march to the Capitol while Congress was meeting to certify the election.

“I think our focus has to be on the president. Let’s not divert ourselves,” she said at one point, discussing a statement she would issue calling for Mr. Trump to be removed from office.

“There is a domestic enemy in the White House,” Ms. Pelosi said at another moment. “Let’s not mince words about this.”

The leaders of the now-defunct House Jan. 6 committee also opted to focus more on the actions of Mr. Trump that led to the assault on the Capitol than the security failures that allowed the complex to be overrun.

In a text message, Alexandra Pelosi said the batch of footage just released was “NOT news!” and noted that some of it had already been seen in her documentary, which premiered on HBO in 2022.

“Hope you appreciate the cinematography,” she added, noting her footwork to capture the scene as her mother fled the angry mob, “backwards and in heels!”

The Trump campaign already had about 50 supporters gathered to greet Vance at a deli in Erie, Pa., when the power went out, just 30 minutes before he arrived. “I think Kamala turned out the lights,” Vance told the crowd.

JD Vance, speaking in Erie, Pa., defended the campaign after an altercation on Tuesday at Arlington National Cemetery and cursed Vice President Kamala Harris for the criticism from her campaign. “She wants to yell at Donald Trump because he showed up?” Vance said. “She can go to hell.”

Elon Musk, eyeing an edge for Trump, hires a Republican political adviser.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, has hired a Republican operative with expertise in field organizing to help steer his political work, a move that suggests that Mr. Musk is preparing to become even more involved in Republican politics and get-out-the-vote efforts specifically.

Chris Young, most recently a senior political official at PhRMA, the trade association of the pharmaceutical industry that does some grass-roots organizing, is joining Mr. Musk’s team, according to three people briefed on the move. They spoke on condition of anonymity because it was not public.

The hire reflects a less whimsical approach to political involvement for Mr. Musk. The Tesla, X and SpaceX leader has been a mercurial political and philanthropic donor for years, frustrating some in the conservative movement. He has just a few key relationships in Washington: Mr. Musk is particularly close with Kevin McCarthy, the former speaker of the House, who himself is close with Mr. Young professionally.

Mr. Young has worked for the trade group since 2020 after rising through the ranks of Republican field organizing. A native of Louisiana, he began his career working as a field organizer for former Gov. Bobby Jindal’s operation before becoming the national field director for the Republican National Committee during the 2016 cycle.

Mr. Young was once the head of Engage Texas, a voter-registration nonprofit in the state funded by major Republican donors. Field organizing has been a priority of Mr. Musk, who like Mr. Young lives in Texas, during his recent foray into campaign politics. Mr. Musk, for instance, at one point privately dismissed television advertising and argued that donors should simply fund programs that convince voters, two at a time, to back Mr. Trump.

Mr. Young declined to comment. Mr. Musk and Jared Birchall, the head of Excession, Mr. Musk’s family office, did not return a request for comment.

Political “donor-advisers” function as both gatekeepers and consiglieres, and ultrarich donors typically hire them when they are preparing to make significant political contributions over the long term.

Part of Mr. Young’s job will be to serve as Mr. Musk’s eyes and ears at a super PAC that Mr. Musk started but has undergone some turbulence . America PAC is focused on Republican voter turnout, but the group effectively shelved its entire field operation after just a few weeks, following the super PAC’s hiring of a powerful Republican consulting firm. The group’s new leadership has since restarted its field program.

Kenneth P. Vogel contributed reporting.

Senator JD Vance is speaking in Erie, Pa., the first of his two campaign events today. He’s joined by his wife, Usha, in a warehouse at Team Hardinger, a trucking logistics company, to “remind everybody just how good our truckers could do if we get better leadership in the White House.”

So much for tempering personal attacks. Vance just responded to a shouted comment from his crowd in Pennsylvania about speaking without a teleprompter: “Ma’am i don’t need a teleprompter, I’ve actually got thoughts in my head, unlike Kamala Harris.”

Donald Trump made an incendiary claim about his Secret Service protection.

Former President Donald J. Trump claimed without evidence in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had denied him sufficient Secret Service protection and that they were therefore partly responsible for the assassination attempt against him last month.

“Our people were always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service, and he knew that we didn’t have enough,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Biden during an interview with the television host Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole D.O.J. to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety.”

The Secret Service has been under a cloud since July 13, when the gunman was able to fire , unimpeded, on Mr. Trump at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The attack grazed Mr. Trump’s ear, killed a spectator and seriously wounded two others. The F.B.I. is investigating, and congressional leaders have also opened inquiries. But there is no evidence that Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris knew about any deficiencies in Mr. Trump’s protection.

The Secret Service has taken responsibility for the security lapses that made the shooting possible. Kimberly A. Cheatle resigned as the agency’s director and has been replaced.

The former president’s remarks to Dr. Phil were similar to what Mr. Trump had written in a social media post in July , when he blamed Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris for the shooting and said they had failed to protect him.

Mr. Trump on Tuesday also echoed an accusation that some of his allies — including Senator JD Vance of Ohio, now his running mate — made right after the assassination attempt: that Democrats’ criticism of him, and descriptions of him as a threat to democracy, might have incited the gunman. Investigators have not confirmed the gunman’s motive.

That assertion by Mr. Trump came after Dr. Phil, referring to Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris, asked, “I’m not saying that they wanted you to get shot, but do you think it was OK with them if you did?”

“They’re saying I’m a threat to democracy. No, they’re a threat,” Mr. Trump replied. “They would say that. That was a standard line, just keep saying it, and you know that can get assassins or potential assassins going.” He added, “Maybe that bullet is because of their rhetoric.”

Mr. Biden, who did campaign against Mr. Trump as a threat to democracy , called for the nation to “lower the temperature in our politics” after the assassination attempt and condemned it.

Mr. Trump has a history of violent speech dating back to his 2016 campaign, when he suggested he might pay the legal fees of a supporter who was accused of attacking a protester, and said of Hillary Clinton : “If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks. Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.” More recently, he has suggested that shoplifters should be shot and embraced the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He has also described the outcome of a Democratic victory in apocalyptic terms.

In the interview with Dr. Phil, which ran for about an hour, Mr. Trump also repeated his complaints about Ms. Harris replacing Mr. Biden as the Democratic nominee.

“In politics, you have an opponent and you win or you lose,” he said. “But you don’t have an opponent, and then you’re doing well against the opponent, they take him out, they give you a new opponent. They give you a nice fresh opponent.”

And he expanded his false claims about voter fraud, saying he believed he had won California — one of the most Democratic states in the country, which voted for Mr. Biden in 2020 by nearly 30 percentage points.

“If Jesus came down and was the vote counter, I would win California,” he said. “If we had an honest vote counter, I would win California.”

Democratic operatives have launched a super PAC called Democracy Defenders, starting with $10 million in funding, to support messaging and lawsuits against any Republican efforts to undermine voting rights, vote-counting or election certification. The PAC is led by Jim Messina, who managed the 2012 Obama campaign, and its chief strategist is the former Biden spokesman T.J. Ducklo.

In Boston, Walz assails Trump on labor and previews Harris’s debate: ‘It’s going to be good.’

Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate, assailed former President Donald J. Trump’s labor record while contrasting it with his own at a firefighters’ union convention in Boston on Wednesday.

Speaking to the International Association of Fire Fighters, Mr. Walz built on the message woven throughout his party’s convention last week in Chicago: that Democrats were defending blue-collar workers, and Republicans hoped to exploit them.

“Every single chance they’ve gotten, they’ve waged a war on workers,” Mr. Walz said of Mr. Trump and Republicans, while promising that, if elected, Ms. Harris would sign the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, a proposed bill that would strengthen labor protections. (Congress would have to pass the bill first.)

Mr. Walz, in one of his first solo campaign appearances since being named to the Democratic ticket, also previewed the upcoming debate between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump. Campaigns often try to manage expectations, but Mr. Walz did not hold back.

He predicted that Ms. Harris would “hold him accountable on the debate stage,” referring to Mr. Trump.

“Tell me you’re not looking forward to that,” Mr. Walz said. “It’s going to be good.”

After a quiet stretch for Mr. Walz since the convention, his appearance in Boston begins a busy rest of the week for him, as both the Harris and Trump campaigns prepare for the fall stretch. Mr. Walz will travel to Georgia later on Wednesday to begin a bus tour with Ms. Harris, and then he will attend fund-raisers in Raleigh, N.C., and the Washington metro area later in the week. On Thursday, CNN will air an interview with the pair, Ms. Harris’s first sit-down interview since beginning her presidential bid.

The Harris campaign hopes Mr. Walz, a former teacher and union member, can be a key conduit to working-class voters, as well as to rural white voters in the Midwest.

His first solo campaign event was an appearance before another union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, this month in Los Angeles.

Republicans, meanwhile, are working to attack Mr. Walz’s credibility, arguing that he has lied or overstated various aspects of his biography, including his military service record .

Previewing the Donald Trump-Kamala Harris debate, Walz said that “she’s going to hold him accountable on the debate stage.” He added: “Tell me you’re not looking forward to that. It’s going to be good.” He just wrapped up his speech after just over 15 minutes.

Notably, Walz has not — at least so far — repeated the false claim he made in Los Angeles that he was the first union member on a presidential ticket since Ronald Reagan. (Donald Trump was a member of the Screen Actors Guild until 2021, when he resigned after the union threatened to expel him following the Jan. 6 insurrection.)

Walz is onstage now. He’s clearly very comfortable speaking to organized labor, based on his demeanor at this appearance and at his stop at a union convention in Los Angeles a few weeks ago. He’s talking about pensions and eulogizing a deceased Minnesota fire captain.

Gov. Tim Walz is set to address the International Association of Fire Fighters here in Boston momentarily, his second solo campaign event at a union gathering in recent weeks. The Harris campaign hopes Walz, a former teacher and union member, can be a conduit to working-class voters.

The Harris campaign released a new ad on Wednesday about Project 2025, the right-wing policy blueprint drawn up by allies of former President Donald J. Trump that Democrats have tried to use as a political cudgel against him. The ad says that Trump is out for “complete control” and that Project 2025 is a road map for making Trump “the most powerful president ever.”

The ad is part of a $370 million media blitz that the Harris campaign is financing in battleground states through Election Day. But it will also run in the Florida media market that includes Palm Beach, where Trump lives — apparently so the former president is sure to see the ad on his TV.

Democrats have begun a highly targeted messaging campaign up and down the Pennsylvania ballot.

The Pennsylvania Democratic Party began a program Wednesday to give locally tailored messaging to canvassers across the state, for candidates from the Harris-Walz ticket down to school boards.

The party said it was the largest and most coordinated campaign it had conducted in Pennsylvania.

Canvassers will have highly targeted talking points. In a town where conservatives control the school board, the focus might be on book bans; in a rural county without good internet access, it might be on broadband funding from the infrastructure bill President Biden signed; in Pittsburgh, where a bridge collapsed in 2022, it might be on funding for road repairs.

The canvassers will also have campaign literature to give out, tailored to each of the state’s 67 counties and 203 State House districts, or even smaller areas. Each piece of literature — there are 395 in all — will have a QR code leading to a list of every candidate on local ballots and to voting information like polling locations that can be updated daily if details change.

The state party is spending at least $500,000 on the effort, called Vote Local PA.

The program is an acknowledgment of Pennsylvania’s central role this year. Its 19 electoral votes could tip the race between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald J. Trump. The re-election campaign of Senator Bob Casey, a Democrat, could decide control of the Senate. At least four House races are competitive, and both chambers of the divided state legislature could flip.

But Vote Local PA is also an attempt to address a serious vulnerability for Democrats: the extent to which their base has consolidated toward cities. Though the party has gained ground in the suburbs, it has hemorrhaged support in exurban and rural areas, forcing it to rely more on high turnout and overwhelming margins in its strongholds.

Mitch Kates, the executive director of the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, described Vote Local PA as a rejection of concentrating efforts in Democratic counties and an effort to narrow loss margins elsewhere. Losing a Republican county by 25 points instead of 30 could matter in a statewide race.

“This program isn’t the solution, but it’s certainly a weapon in the arsenal of being able to fight the good fight in every single county,” Mr. Kates said. “We are giving our people the tools and resources they need to effectively have conversations with their neighbors.”

In past elections, said Lori McFarland, the chairwoman of the Lehigh County Democratic Committee, she would stuff literature for each local candidate into bags that she suspected voters threw away instantly. Her team will now have single cards for each of seven State House districts within the congressional district covering Lehigh County, which is represented by the vulnerable Democratic incumbent Susan Wild.

Judy Hines, the vice chair of the Democratic Party of Mercer County — a rural area between Pittsburgh and Erie — said the increased coordination among campaigns, and between the county and state parties, felt “like in ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ when it’s black and white and it goes into color.”

Maya King and Nicholas Nehamas

Maya King reported from Atlanta, and Nicholas Nehamas reported from Washington.

Harris and Walz point their campaign bus to rural Georgia.

Vice President Kamala Harris and Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, seeking to build Democrats’ momentum in the Sun Belt, will campaign on Wednesday in the rural counties of southeast Georgia before holding a rally on Thursday in Savannah.

Democrats outside the party’s Metro Atlanta engine have long complained that focusing on the capital city, where a majority of Democratic voters in the state live, ignores pockets of supporters in less populous areas. Organizers have emphasized the particular need to engage voters in rural South Georgia and the state’s mountainous northern regions — both heavily conservative parts of the state that will still require high turnout from Black and moderate white voters to keep Democrats competitive.

A visit from the presidential ticket, some rural Democrats say, shows that top party leaders heeded their calls.

“A little does a lot in rural areas,” said Melissa Clink, the former chair of the Democratic Party in Forsyth County, north of the Atlanta suburbs. “If we can get some face time with, especially, the top of the ticket, then not only does that help donors open up their wallets to fund get-out-the-vote operations on the ground but it also inspires more people to do more work because they feel seen.”

The Georgia bus tour is similar to a campaign trip that Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz took to a conservative-leaning county outside Pittsburgh this month. Like South Georgia, Democrats in western Pennsylvania have also said their voters were being unwisely ignored by presidential campaigns. On their tour, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz made sure to highlight the diversity of the area, engaging with residents in Aliquippa, a former steel town that has a large Black population, where they spent time with a high school football team alongside the former Pittsburgh Steelers star Jerome Bettis. (Mr. Walz is a former high school football coach, which might also play well in Georgia.)

More broadly, Democrats hope Mr. Walz — who flipped a largely rural and more conservative House district in southern Minnesota in 2006 — can help stem their losses with rural and white working-class voters, especially men, who have grown increasingly hostile to their party. He has worked to present a more caring version of masculinity that contrasts with the brash aggressiveness of Mr. Trump.

His party knows it cannot hope to win those rural voters outright. But in what is expected to be a tight election, Democrats are aiming to keep their margins manageable outside the cities and suburbs, something Joseph R. Biden Jr. accomplished during his 2020 campaign. Ms. Harris has made few gains with white men since taking over the ticket.

The Harris campaign says it has invested heavily in rural Georgia, hiring nearly 50 staff members across seven offices, in places including the small cities of Valdosta and Albany close to the Florida line and rural towns like Millen and Cordele, which calls itself the watermelon capital of the world .

Polling shows that Ms. Harris has made Georgia competitive , after it seemed to be slipping out of reach for Mr. Biden. And Mr. Trump has devoted a significant chunk of his advertising budget to the state, suggesting his team also sees the state as being back in play.

In Savannah, where Ms. Harris will hold a rally on Thursday, Democrats are hoping her visit will reignite energy in a city that is home to the second-largest cluster of blue votes in the state.

“Love is an action word — you show people first by your presence,” said Van Johnson, the mayor of Savannah, who has lobbied the Biden and Harris campaigns to campaign in the city for months since Ms. Harris visited in February. “Her presence is going to really be indicative of that esteem she has for our community.”

‘A terrible president’: 12 times Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized Trump.

The alliance between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former President Donald J. Trump, which was fortified on Tuesday with Mr. Kennedy’s appointment to Mr. Trump’s transition team, is a sharp turnabout in a long-combative relationship.

Mr. Kennedy had spent the better part of a decade lobbing attacks at Mr. Trump, portraying him as a buffoonish, anti-democratic bully who led a feckless administration.

“In many ways, he’s discredited the American experiment with self-governance,” Mr. Kennedy said of Mr. Trump in early 2020 .

Mr. Kennedy set aside his criticisms when he suspended his long-shot independent presidential campaign last Friday, saying that he was backing Mr. Trump because he was “choosing to believe” that “this time” Mr. Trump would bring him into his administration — something that did not happen for Mr. Kennedy the last time around, after they met in 2017. Mr. Kennedy, reached for comment, pointed to the remarks he made Friday.

Mr. Kennedy acknowledged Friday that he and the former president “don’t agree on everything.” But he said that they had found common ground on certain issues, and he took a different, far more positive tone in front of a cheering crowd of Trump supporters in Glendale, Ariz.

“Don’t you want a president who’s going to protect America’s freedoms, and who’s going to protect us against totalitarianism?” Mr. Kennedy asked on Friday.

Six years earlier, he had accused Mr. Trump of “systematically” supporting totalitarian governments around the world.

Here’s a look back at 12 times Mr. Kennedy ridiculed Mr. Trump and his policies.

July 2, 2024

“Donald Trump was a terrible president”

In an appearance on the “Breaking Points” podcast after the debate between Mr. Trump and President Biden, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump had turned the “government over to corporate pirates” during his presidency.

In calling Mr. Trump a “terrible president,” Mr. Kennedy argued that he had made some compelling promises but had not followed through on them. “I don’t think he’s capable of meeting the expectations and fulfilling the promises that he raises with his rhetoric.”

June 19, 2024

“Absurd and terrifying”

Mr. Kennedy said on social media that Mr. Trump had an “imperial plan” for American foreign policy.

“It is not an ‘America First’ strategy, nor will it make America great,” Mr. Kennedy wrote, calling the former president’s policies “absurd and terrifying.”

June 13, 2024

“He spent more money than all presidents”

Mr. Kennedy regularly targeted Mr. Trump’s stewardship of the economy, highlighting significant increases in the national debt between 2017 and 2021. He described the risk of further growth in the debt as “existential.”

“President Trump ran up $8 trillion — more money than every president in United States history from George Washington to George Bush,” Mr. Kennedy said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” (A calculation by the liberal Urban Institute in Washington found that deficit growth under Mr. Trump was the third-highest in U.S. history when measured as a share of the economy, behind increases under Mr. Bush and Abraham Lincoln.)

June 11, 2024

“A weakness for swamp creatures”

During his campaign, Mr. Kennedy repeatedly suggested that Mr. Trump presided over a corrupt administration.

“Despite rhetoric to the contrary, President Trump has a weakness for swamp creatures, especially corporate monopolies, their lobbyists, and their money,” Mr. Kennedy wrote on social media in June. “After promising to drain the swamp, instead, he hired swamp creatures to regulate their own industries.”

May 24, 2024

“He didn’t stand up for the Constitution”

Addressing the Libertarian National Convention , Mr. Kennedy chastised Mr. Trump over his handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, saying that he had presided over lockdowns that produced the “greatest restriction on individual liberties this country has ever known."

“He didn’t stand up for the Constitution when it really mattered,” Mr. Kennedy said.

April 27, 2024

“A barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims”

Pushing to debate Mr. Trump in the spring, Mr. Kennedy unloaded on the former president , who had claimed that Democrats had planted Mr. Kennedy in the race to help their party.

“When frightened men take to social media they risk descending into vitriol, which makes them sound unhinged,” Mr. Kennedy wrote on social media . “President Trump’s rant against me is a barely coherent barrage of wild and inaccurate claims.”

April 1, 2024

“Appalling”

Appearing on CNN, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump’s efforts to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election were “appalling.”

“I’m not going to defend President Trump on that,” Mr. Kennedy said. He added: “There’s many things that President Trump has done that are appalling.”

Jan. 14, 2020

“He’s a bully”

Early in the 2020 election cycle, Mr. Kennedy told Yahoo Finance that Mr. Trump had “discredited” American democracy, calling him a “bully.”

“He’s a bully, and I don’t like bullies,” Mr. Kennedy said. “And I don’t think that that’s part of American tradition.”

May 17, 2018

“Buffoonery at a high level”

At a conference in Philadelphia a little over a year into Mr. Trump’s presidency, Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump was severely damaging the United States’ reputation abroad — and also bruising the idea of democracy itself.

“If you live in China today, and you’re looking at what’s happening in the United States, why would you ever say, we want to switch our system for that system, which can produce that kind of buffoonery at a high level?” Mr. Kennedy asked.

Mr. Kennedy said Mr. Trump was “purposefully and systematically” supporting “tyrannical” governance by other world leaders. “He is also encouraging it by the example of what a disaster democracy’s become,” Mr. Kennedy added.

Aug. 15, 2017

“I don’t like President Trump’s environmental policies”

In an interview with the science and medical news website Stat early in the Trump presidency, Mr. Kennedy said: “I don’t like President Trump’s environmental policies, and I would not endorse them.”

“I would say that President Trump’s administration is essentially destroying 30 years of my work on environmental issues,” said Mr. Kennedy, who began to work on efforts to preserve the environment the 1980s.

Still, Mr. Kennedy, an anti-vaccine activist, said in the interview that he had engaged in talks with the Trump White House about vaccine safety.

Aug. 5, 2016

“It’s scary”

Mr. Kennedy used those two words to describe Mr. Trump’s political rise, three months before Mr. Trump beat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

In an interview with Larry King, Mr. Kennedy said that he was squarely behind Mrs. Clinton and that Mr. Trump was tapping into an “atavistic urge for a leader who is kind of a man on horseback who’s decisive, who’s violent.” He added: “It’s scary.”

March 15, 2005

“We need some positive role models”

More than a decade before Mr. Trump rode down the golden Trump Tower escalator and into presidential politics, Mr. Kennedy had publicly criticized the New York real estate mogul.

In an interview with The Boston Globe, Mr. Kennedy cast Mr. Trump’s flashy life as a poor example for Americans to follow.

“At this point we’re being sold role models like Donald Trump — television is saying this is a guy that we ought to be apprenticing for and modeling our lives after,” Mr. Kennedy told The Globe. “I think we need some positive role models as well, that stress what’s important about life — that we’re not just materialistic beings, we are spiritual beings as well.”
