Answer:

Monsoon Fury             Smita Verma                         Rain, rain go away- Come again another day. This little childhood rhyme was the prevalent mood of most of the people of the major metropolitan cities of India Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai. The monsoon fury was so extensive that it led to heavy losses of material and also more importantly the loss of human lives. It was unprecedented and unexpected.                         There was an extensive loss of life and property. People were stranded in their own homes and could not move out for couple of days. The civic system came to a halt. Phone lines were disconnected and electricity7 lines were snapped.             Life came to a standstill in busy commercial capitals like Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata.                         People of all strata of life suffered. However, the most affected were the poor people who felt the brunt of it. Most of them are daily wage earners but they could not go to work because of the weather conditions. The children and families went hungry for many days. Rations were not given immediately to the people. The floods brought to light the inadequate civic amenities. It led to an outbreak of diseases.                         It is high time that the authorities wake up and remedial measures are taken. Prior steps should be taken to repair the roadways, waterways and all sewage systems. The officers should be held more responsible and the poor should be evacuated immediately. Rations and aid must reach them quickly.

Speech                         Good morning, dear principal, teachers and my fellow students assembled here. In the assembly today, I would like to talk about one disturbing aspect-the aggressive behaviour of most of the students. Aggressive behavior among students has almost become a norm these days. Students are no longer courteous or well-behaved. They believe that impoliteness and rudeness is going to reward them for which they are seriously mistaken.                                                 Growingly we hear of cases of teachers being pranked. This is a matter of concern as more and more bullies? assault students and children get into fist fights. The growing atmosphere of hate and abuse should not be tolerated any longer.                         There are a number of reasons for this kind of behaviour amongst students. The influence of the TV, the social media and the internet brings in a lot of ill effects. Working parents are not able to look after their children and the children are left to find out what is good for themselves.                         It is time that something drastic is done to improve such situations. More counselling sessions and workshops on child behaviour must be held periodically. Value education classes must be made compulsory for students. More attention should be paid to individual students, and more PTA meetings should be conducted. Discipline should become a way of life for the growth of the nation.
