Format of Debate

A very pleasant morning to respected members of management, worthy teachers and all my docile peers. Today, I am standing here on behalf of the school to express my views in favour of the topic/against the topic (write either) ‘Should Women Go Out to Work’. I hope all of you will pay heed to my words and listen to me attentively.

(Make at least 3 or 4 paragraphs)

• Explain either some positives or some negatives of topic asked above. (If has positives, write positive or has negatives, write negatives)

For example ‘Women contribute a lot to the GDP of a country therefore’ etc….

• Write few quotes related to the topic in between the content.

For example ‘Women are assets not liabilities’-Anonymous

• Put up the questions in between the content.

For example ‘Did you know only 13 percent of Indian women go out and work?’ 0r ‘Do you know that women can play a major role in making of a developed country?’

• Conclude the topic in the end with your views

For example: We should respect women and offer them enough freedom to make their dreams come true.

In the end, I want to acknowledge the support shown by the people sitting here. I even want to thank everyone for being so patient listeners throughout my delivery of words.

Thank you !
