E. Draft a short speech entitled, ‘Importance of Exercise for Healthy Life' and deliver it in a small group.
Answer:
Respected teacher and all my dear friends. Today, I would like to thank my teacher, Mr Ramesh for providing me with a fine chance to put forward some of my views on this particular topic "Importance of Exercise for Healthy Life'
Dear friends, one of the most important things you can do for your health is to exercise regularly. Physical exercise can strengthen your bones and muscles, help you lose weight, lessen your risk of disease, increase your capacity to carry out daily tasks and improve your cognitive health.
Adults who engage in moderate-intense physical activity and sit less often gain some health benefits. Physical activity is one of the few lifestyle choices that has a significant impact on health.
No matter their age, ability, ethnicity, shape, or size, everyone can benefit from physical activity's positive effects on their health.
Some of the advantages of exercise on brain health take place immediately after a session of moderate-to-vigorous exercise. Children between the ages of 6 and 13 will have better thinking or cognition, adults will experience a short-term reduction in anxiety. As you age, staying physically active regularly might help keep your thinking, learning, and decision-making abilities sharp. Additionally, it might improve your quality of sleep and lower your risk of anxiety and depression.
Thus, we must do physical exercise for the sake of healthy life. Physical exercise is the best way to remain healthy and joyous in our lives. Thank you so much

Obesity has become a matter of concern in recent years. Draft a speech on obesity based on the given guiding questions.
What are the primary causes of obesity?
What are its consequences?
What should an individual do to avoid it?
Answer:
Respected judge of the elocution contest, principal, and all my teachers and dear friends. Today, I would like to thank my house teachers for providing me with a glorious chance to put forward some of my views on this particular topic "Obesity". I would try my best to define it and also its cause, consequences and measures.
Obesity is a complex disease that occurs when people weigh more than what is considered healthy for their height. Obesity affects both children as well as adults. Many factors can contribute to excess weight gain, including eating patterns, physical activity levels and sleep routines.
It is often said that eating too much and not getting enough exercise is the primary cause of obesity. We regularly consume more calories than we burn. Exercise provides many health benefits and can support weight management.
However, research now indicates that the main factors contributing to obesity are how much and what kind of food we eat.
The risk of the following health problems increases with obesity in both children and adults.
▪︎ High cholesterol and high blood pressure are both risk factors for heart disease.
▪︎ Diabetes type 2.
▪︎ Breathing problems include sleep apnea and asthma.
▪︎ Joint conditions including osteoarthritis and musculoskeletal pain.
▪︎ Gallbladder disease with gallstones.
▪︎ Additional conditions associated with childhood obesity include anxiety and depression.
▪︎ Having a low level of both self-esteem and life satisfaction.
▪︎ Issues of bullying and stigma in society.
Adults who are obese are more likely to experience stroke, several types of cancer, premature death, and mental illnesses such as clinical depression and anxiety.
To avoid it, an individual should the following things:
▪︎ Limiting unhealthy foods (red meat, processed meats, potatoes, refined grains and sweets) and drinks (sweetened beverages)
▪︎ Raising exercise levels
▪︎ Reducing time spent watching TV, using screens, and other "sitting time"
▪︎ Increase sleep
Thus, we have to take care of the above-mentioned things to remain healthy in our life. Thank you so much .
