Project 2: Structured Speech

Title: Personality Types

Time: 4 - 5 Minutes

-------------

I have two friends. Let’s call them Friend A and Friend B.

Friend A is very quiet.

If I ask her,

How are you?

She’ll say,

Fine.

That’s it. Full stop. End of chapter.

Then there is Friend B.

If I ask her the same question,

How are you?

She will say,

Yes yes, I’m good! How are you? You know last weekend I went to the movie… the hero was dancing like this… and the popcorn was too salty… and then my cousin came home… and then…

And by the time she finishes, I completely forget what I asked her.

So one day, I asked my mother,

Why do these two people answer so differently?

She smiled and said,

It’s all about personality types. These people are unique in their own way.

Yes, there are different personality types.

Introvert.

Extrovert.

And Ambivert.

Personality Type 1: The Introvert

These people are always on silent mode.

They talk only when needed. They are not shy.

They just prefer peace and corner seats.

When the teacher says,

Who wants to come and sing?

What do you think the introvert does? they become invisible!

Personality Type 2: The Extrovert

These people talk like Bluetooth speakers, always connected.

They talk to the person on the right, on the left, with the bus driver, the milkman, the watchman, the street dog, and even the pencil.

Do you know someone like that? Or are you that person?

They make friends easily.

Personality Type 3: The Ambivert

They are a mix of both introvert and extrovert, mood-based people.

Sometimes ON, sometimes OFF.

In the morning they will be like, Don’t talk to me.

And in the evening, Why are you not talking to me?

So which one am I?

I am an Ambivert.

A beautiful mix of both, introvert and extrovert.

Just like bhel puri, everything inside.

So remember, whatever your personality is, own it with confidence.

If you are an introvert,

don’t worry, you can live happily with Wi-Fi and snacks.

If you are an extrovert,

don’t worry, the whole world is ready to hear your stories… even if nobody asked.

And if you are an ambivert like me,

don’t worry, we get the best of both worlds…

and sometimes the confusion too.

So remember,

All personalities are amazing in their own way,Quiet, Loud, or In-between.

Project 3: Speak with Body Language

Time: 4 - 5 Minutes

Good evening everyone!

I am Harshini Shree, and today I’m going to talk about something that never stops for anyone, TIME.

Time has no shape, no color, no sound, but it controls everything we do.

It doesn’t stop, it doesn’t slow down, and it doesn’t wait for anyone.

Time is one of the most important things in our life.

⸻

A Short Conversation between the siblings

Brother: Sister, can you please help me with my project?

Sister: I’ll do it later.

Brother: You said the same thing yesterday too, and the day passed.

Sister: Okay fine, I’ll do it now. You’re right, when we say ‘later’, time flies away.

This is exactly how we lose time.

We keep saying later, tomorrow, someday, and suddenly we realize that those days never came.

Because once time is gone, it never returns.

⸻

Proverbs and Quotes

Let me share a few timeless quotes about time:

• A stitch in time saves nine. Act early before problems grow bigger.

• Better three hours too soon than one minute too late. - William Shakespeare.

• The key is not in spending time, but in investing it. - Stephen Covey.

Each of these reminds us that time is not meant to be spent, it is meant to be used wisely.

⸻

Real-Life Examples

Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, the Missile Man of India, used every second of his life to learn, create, and inspire others.

He once said, If you want to shine like a sun, first burn like a sun.

Sachin Tendulkar, he started practicing cricket when he was a child.

He valued every moment of his training, and that made him one of the greatest cricketers in the world.

And look at our parents, they wake up early, manage work, take care of the family, and still find time for us.

They are the best examples of how to value time with love and responsibility.

⸻

Final Thought

Friends, time is like a river.

You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never return.

You can regain lost money.

You can regain lost energy.

But you can never regain lost time.

So don’t waste it.

Use it to learn, to grow, to help others, and to make your dreams come true.

Because time once gone… never comes back.

Use it wisely and time itself will make you great.

Thank you.

Project 4: Modulate your Voice

Time: 3 - 4 Minutes

---------------------

Good evening every one!!! Today I am going to tell a short story. There were 2 friends- Ram and Raju. Raju invited Ram to his house over a weekend. So Ram went to Raju’s house and played there. Raju’s mother served them a sweet. Ram liked it very much and he asked Raju’s mother ‘Aunty!!! What is this sweet? If is very delicious.’ Raju’s mother said - “It is KADUBU”. After then, both Ram and Raju spent the whole day joyfully. In the evening, when Ram was about to leave, he again asked Raju’s mother, “Aunty, what is the sweet name? KADU….???”. Raju’s mother again told the sweet name smilingly- “KADUBU”. Ram bid good bye and started walking home. Throughout the way, he was releasing the sweet name, so he will not forget it.

KADUBU, KADUBU, KADUBU, KADUBU….

He did not notice the small rock and hit on it. He tumbled and fell down. He then got up, dusted his clothes, cleared up his hands and started to walk home again. Now, he got to know that he forgot the sweet name. “Ah… I forgot the sweet name, what is it? Is it BUKADU? BUKADI????”

“Yes…, it is DUBUKA. And started to repeat this name until he reach home.

When he reached honey, he went in search of his mother and told how happily he spent his day with Raju.

He asked his mother “Ma, can you prepare me DUBUKA?, I ate in Raju’s home, it was very yummy”.

“DUBUKA? What is it? I have never heard this before” his mother told in a confused look and went away.

Ram became sad and sat in a corner almost like crying. To pacify Ram, Ram’s mother prepared a sweet which she knew. On seeing the sweet, Ram jumped out of joy and screamed - “Yeah, this is DUBUKA”.

Ram’s mother couldn’t control the laughter and told - “This is KADUBU”. Ram ate all of the sweet dumplings and almost emptied the plate. This will be a nice sweet memory for Ram and he will never forget the name if the sweet again.

Project 5: Inform with Visuals

Time: 4 - 5 Minutes

---------------

Good morning everyone!

Today, I am going to talk about a mystery…

A mystery so big, so confusing, so powerful…, which happened daily to me.

Even Sherlock Holmes will give up.

It is the “The Lost Sock — Every Morning Before the School Bus Arrives.”

Every morning, I wake up, get dressed, pack my bag, And then suddenly I realise — one sock is here. Where is my other sock?

This happens every single day.

Now The search operation begins and

I will start to hunt the whole house- cupboard, under the bed, sofa, balcony

I will Look under the bed.

Find nothing… except dust and one pencil from last year.

If I ask my mom- Amma did you see my socks. She replies without even turning her head- check properly!!!

I open the cupboard in a hurry…

and immediately ALL my clothes fall on my head like a mini clothes waterfall!

Ufffff!

I quickly grab everything and dump it back inside the cupboard…

not neatly…

just stuff stuff, stuff, shut the door, and run!

But still…

no sock!

I will check behind the sofa and Find toys, hair clips, coins, and a remote control we lost 6 months ago.

Still no sock.

My brother enjoys watching me search the whole house like a detective.

I always suspect that he is the reason behind my missing sock.

It is white sock that is missing. It is supposed to be white. But the white sock is not always white. It is a dark dirty whitish sock.

Finally I found it hiding behind the bedroom door. I have no idea how it went there. Since I found the sock pair, I will get a feeling like I won the best award ever.

Now my school bus honks outside.

I wear the sock, put in my shoes and jump and rush to the school bus.

So what did I learn?

In life — like socks —

sometimes things disappear,

and sometimes things take time,

but if we keep searching, keep trying…

We will always find what we’re looking for.

So yes, every morning I start my day with an adventure —

the Mission to Find the Lost Sock Before the School Bus Arrives!

And trust me…

This mission teaches me patience, creativity, perseverance…

And also how to run very fast when the bus is honking.

Ice breaker speech

Time: 3 - 4 Minutes

--------------

Today I am going to talk about a girl who by appearance looks very good, silent, but only she and her parents know how naughty and mischievous she is. You know who it is? Well, it's me. This is supposed to be my icebreaking speech. But I think the ice is broken already and it started melting. So, I am Harshnishri, of 4th grade in Sairam Leomuthu Public School. My father Sankaramoorthy and mother Uma, both of them are software engineers. I have a naughty little brother, Sarvesh Kanna, studying in UKG. My grandfather, Sankara Narayan, also lives with us. Our native is Arpukottai, which is famously called United States of Arpukottai. Everyday, my day starts at 7 am. I'll be in my dreamland. My mother doesn't wake me up with a good morning. She'll scream like, Harshini, get up! Or you'll be late to school. I'll roll on the bed and will say, ‘Five minutes, ma!!!’ After five minutes, my mom screams again. I'll get up from the bed, not liking to get up. I'll get ready to school in a hurry burry, I carry my heavy school bag. I think it is secretly going to gym when I am sleeping. My brother disturbs me always. what to do? Being the elder,I have to act mature and adjust. Bad thing about my brother is, he'll put on the Peppa Pig on the TV and hides the remote. So no one can change the channel and he keeps on watching it joyfully. In my leisure time, I like to draw and do some experiments while drawing. I would start to draw a tiger, but final output comes like cat with sun glasses. I often face this million dollar question, What is your goal in your life? What do you want to become? I'm not able to find an answer for this question yet. doctor? Harshini Shree MBBS. No way! I get sick hearing this. Then how will I treat the people? engineer? No!!! Daily I see my software engineer parents, how long they work. teacher? I have to deal with students like me! that’s also big “Nooo!” Right now, I’ve decided to enjoy being a kid — to laugh, earn, play, and to collect stories to tell later. one day, I’ll find what I truly want to be. until then, I’ll just continue being ME.
