Speech on farewell function day.(For teacher) By Prof Vaishali
Jane:
Exuberant
morning to one and all. Hon'ble chairperson of the farewell function, my
colleagues and all my dear students, today the time has come to bid adieu to
you with a heavy heart.
You
are going to begin the new chapter of your lives. Now you are going to appear
for Board exam which is called the turning point of life because this exam
turns your lives. I hope you have prepared well for scoring good marks. You will
definitely get success. But unfortunately if some of you don't get success,
won't give up. It is said that Failure is the stepping stone of success. So try
again and again until you get success. Don't quit. Remember 'winners never
quit, quitters never win'. Sometimes efforts may fail but don't fail to do
efforts. Determination, hard work and perseverance are
the keys to succeed. So you should use these keys in your lives and also avoid
delaying tendency because Tomorrow never comes.
Utilize each and every moment
properly.
One more
thing I would like to say is that never forget three things in your lives i.e.
your parents, teachers and motherland. Soar high like birds, fly high like the
kites but remain down to earth. Follow our Indian culture. Don't imitate the
western culture under name of modernity. Be the ideal citizens and earn the
name and fame.
Wish you all
the best for the upcoming board exam.
Thank you
Speech On Valedictory Function Day.(For students) By Prof
Vaishali Jane:
Very good morning to everybody.
Hon'ble president of this farewell function, respected teachers and my dear
friends, time has come to leave this college with a heavy heart but with the
wealth of knowledge. It has been a great learning experience for me.
I am
thankful to all my faculties from whom I have acquired various skills. The
blessings of our great teachers are always with me.
I
have learnt how to take decisions, how to behave in society. I have also learnt
to be open minded, to value other people's opinions and to consider others'
ideas along with mine. Apart from the syllabus, all the teachers have taught me
many good things which are essential for my future. I have been given practical
knowledge to bring positive changes in my own life as well as in others' lives
I am grateful to all my teachers
for their kind help whenever it has been asked for. I will never forget my
classmates and their support in many activities which are necessary to become
responsible student.
Once again I
express my gratitude towards all my classmates, seniors and all my teachers.
Friends, wish you all the
best for your board exam and the career.
Register

entries of items.

We change our style of discourse according to

Examples
of Register (type of language) (word Register)
(Explain the use of definite article 'the' in the sentence)
In
this sentence the definite article is used as determiner to introduce the noun
painter.
Here
‘He’ refers to ‘God’ and the word ‘painter’ means ‘artist’. He is the creator
of our lives. As an artist He fills the beautiful colours in our lives. He
weaves the cloth of human life by using various colourful threads (threads of
happiness as well as of sorrows). Human life is the blending of these both
things.
The
pen is mightier than the sword
Here
pen is not used for all types of pens.
Here
pen means writing which is more effective/powerful than the military power or
violence.
Lokmanya
Tilak used his pen to create wrath in the minds of the Indians against the
British by writing the aggressive articles in the newspapers such as ‘Kesari’
and ‘Maratha’. That's why he is called the father of Indian unrest. His pen was
mightier than the power of the British.
It
is an instance of Metonymy figure of speech.
3) Impoverish:-
The
word ‘impoverish’ itself is a verb. It means to make someone or something poor,
lower in quality, to reduce to poverty.
The
‘impoverish’ comes from the old French word ‘pover’ means ‘poor’.
See
the some letters of the word pover ty inside im pover ish.
Different
forms of this word.
1)
impoverish - verb
2)
impoverisher and impoverishment - nouns
3)
impoverished – adjective
4) Interesting Fact
The
same word having different pronunciations and different meanings.
Resume
(रिझ्यूम)(verb)_to
begin again, to continue something.
Resume
(रेझ्युमेइ)(noun)-a
short descriptive summary.
(Summary
of one's education, skill and employment when applying for a new job)
5) Uses of Would
Would
is the past form of will. We often use 'would'
to report the past conversation. But there are its multiple uses. See
below.
1) Polite request and offers.
(polite ways to ask
someone to do something.)
e.g
a)
Would you give me your book?
b)
Would you mind giving me your bike?
(here,
would you mind is a phrase.)
2)
In Reported speech
e.g.
Anita
said",I will bring the cold drinks?"
Ans-
Anita said that she would bring the cold drinks.
(here,
past form of will)
3) In imaginary situation
(present unreal
condition)
e.g

7)
Sometimes the condition is understood.
e.g.
Someone

Means.
If
someone liked John, they would personally love his father.
(condition
is understood)
Note-
We
do not use would with stative verbs such as live, be, know, think, understand, want
etc.
6) Use of Effect
1)
Effect is used as noun, if you are talking about the result of something.
2)
Effect is used as verb, if you are talking about the process of generating an
outcome (result).
7) What is the difference between ‘the thought of the day’ and ‘thought
for the day’?
I
think both are correct but we frequently say ‘thought for the day’ which is
precise way of expressing.
The
preposition of shows possession .In this case the day does not possess the
thought. So we can't say ‘thought of the day’.
8) Vocabulary

Ex-a)
It is manner less to cut in while two elders are talking.

9) Difference between clause and sentence.
All
sentences are clauses but not all clauses are sentences.
Both
clause and sentence are made up of a group of words that contain a subject and
predicate.
The
main difference between clause and sentence is that a clause has subject and
predicate but does not convey an independent meaningwhereas a sentence always conveys an
independent meaning .It expresses a complete thought.
What is clause?
Sometimes
a clause can act as a sentence but not every clause is a sentence.
Basically
there are two types of clauses.
1)
Independent clause (Main clause):-
An
independent clause can stand alone and convey a complete meaning.
e
g She didn't understand the lesson although the teacher explained it well.(dark
sentence indicates main clause.)
2)
Dependent clause (Subordinate clause):-
Dependent
clause cannot stand alone and not convey a complete meaning.
e.g.
I didn't buy that dress since you didn't like it. (Underlined sentence
indicates Subordinate clause.)
What
is sentence?
A
sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. It contains a
subject and a verb/predicate.
(Predicate the whole sentence from the verbexcluding subject.)
Sentence
can be categorized into four types based on its function.
(Note:
Fifth type of sentence is optative means those sentences which are based on
wishing. E.g. May God bless you.)
10) Antithesis, Oxymoron and Paradox:-
1) An antithesis:-
An
antithesis is a figure of speech in which two opposite ideas are used in a
sentence to create a contrasting effect.
(Antithesis
- Anti means opposite and thesis means ideas)
e.g
a)
United we stand, divided we fall.
b)
Many are called but few are chosen.
c)
This one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
(Quote
of Neil Armstrong)
2) An oxymoron:-
An
oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two contradictory or opposing ideas
used in a same phrase. It is used to present a point more subtly for humour
than by using a direct reference.
e.g.
a)
The movie had a bitter sweet ending.
b)
The rising Moon over the city dump presented a beautifully ugly scene.
Some
more examples-
living
dead, original copy, open secret, deafening silence, dark light etc.
3) Paradox:-
A
paradox is a statement that appears to be contradictory but contains some truth
(sometimes the statement can be true or untrue).
e.g.
a)
Your strength lies in your weakness.
b)
Your enemy's friend is you enemy.
Or
Your
enemy's enemy is your friend.
c)
Truth is honey which is bitter.
d)
Attack is the best form of defense.
In
Antithesis, Oxymoron and Paradox one thing is common that is contradiction but
differ from each other.
11) Republic day speech for 2020
Very good morning to Hon'ble dignitaries, Respected
teachers and all my dear friends, today we have gathered here to celebrate the
71st Republic Day. We all know that our country was ruled by the British for
nearly 150 yrs. Many freedom fighters fought against the British to break
the shackles of slavery. Many Indian leaders such as Lokmanya Tilak,Lala Lajpat
Rai,Pt.Nehru, Swatantra veer Savarkar, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and many
more sacrificed their lives for the sake of motherland.Many revolutionarists
such as Bhagtsingh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Batukeshwar Datt were hanged on the stake.Non
-cooperation movement in1920,Ouit India Movement in1942 were started under the
leadership of Mahatma Gandhi,the father of the nation.My purpose behind giving
these instances is that we got Independence with great efforts of many known
and unknown Indians.
India became free from the British
slavery /we got Independence on 15th August 1947. Though we got
Independence ,we didn't have our own constitution. What is constitution?
Constitution means a set of rules and regulations which is essential for
disciplinary administration of the government. Before giving us
Independence,the Cabinet Mission was sent in 1946 .The British appealed
/challenged us to form our own constitution. And the work began . The
Constitution committee and its Drafting Committee were formed .Dr.Babasaheb
Ambedkar was the president of drafting committee. He took a lot of efforts for
preparing Indian constitution. That's why he is called an architect of Indian
constitution.At last our constitution was ready after spending long
duration such as 2 years,11 months and 17 days. It was
sanctioned/approved on 26th November 1949 and came into force/
implemented from 26th ofJanuary 1950. Our country became Republic
from this day.So we celebrate 26th of January as the Republic Day every year.
What is Republic?
Republic is a king less form of government that
has no morarchy and no hereditary aristocracy. In Republic ,the country in
which the supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives
.Now we are living in democratic India, free India.But we should not forget the
devotion of the people who fought for the independence. I pay my tribute/I
salute all the Martyrs / Patriots and give full stop to my speech.
Jai Hind !

Q. Write a film review of any film that you have watched recently.
Use the following points:-
1) Story 2) Characters 3) Songs and Music 4) Action 5) Theme 6) Weak and Strong points 7) Special Features 8) Your opinion about the film.
Answer:-
1) Story:- Chulbul (Salman) spends his average day
romancing his wife Rajjo (Sonakshi), troubling his brother Makkhi (Arbaaz) and
fighting and reforming silly person. All is well, until he busts a prostitution
racket and saves a bunch of girls, which angers the ringleader, the rich and
powerful Balli (Sudeep). Cut to, Chulbul Pandey’s beginnings, a huge chunk of
the first part of the film is about his younger days, his love interest – the
beautiful and naive Khushi (Saiee) – and the circumstances that urged him to
turn over a new leaf and become Robinhood Panday.
2) Characters:- Sudeep is menacing as the baddie, who is out
to make Chulbul’s life miserable. The South actor has a great screen presence,
which makes the face-offs between Chulbul and him impactful and entertaining.
Sonakshi was seen as Rajjo but she doesn’t have much to do other than play the
loving and doting wife. Saiee, who makes her debut as young Chulbul’s lady
love, has a pleasant screen presence and is effective, but she could do with
expressing more in the emotional scenes. Arbaaz plays his part well. Salman
Khan is more effective and fit to show his larger than life image.
3) Songs and Music:- a long line-up of songs, of which, the
memorable ones are 'Munna Badnam Hua' and the title track. Audience can hear
chants of ‘Hudd Hudd Dabangg’ in the background. It increases the impact of the
scenes.
4) Action:- The action is raw and solid, however, some
action scenes (like Chulbul's introductory sequence) are unreasonably
stretched. Dabangg 3' shows Salman in his element – throwing deadly blows at
the villains amidst all the smoke, dust and fire, while. And those certainly
will be paisa-vasool moments for Salman Khan's fans.
5) Theme:- Dabangg 3 ,the film, a prequel in part, traces
Chulbul Pandey’s journey from a young man named Dhaakad to police officer
Chulbul Pandey, and his fight with the demons of his past.
6) Weak and strong
Points:- While the story is
clearly predictable, in this one again, Salman’s star power, swag and style
remain intact. There is an attempt to infuse comedy in the story, but it seems
rather forced. The storyline is not cohesive and the narrative is loosely
strung together. The film, with a runtime of 2 hours and 42 minutes, seems very
long and could have done with a tighter edit.
7) Special Features:- Dabangg 3 is the third instalment of the
'Dabangg' franchise, and the audience is well-acquainted with the
larger-than-life, lovable cop and his world. There are ample clap-worthy
and seeti-maar moments in Prabhudeva’s 'Dabangg 3' for Salman Khan fans to lap
up. Yes, he takes off his shirt, flaunts his well-toned, perfectly-greased body
and beats up the goons to pulp.
8) My opinion about
the film:- Overall, the film has
all the ingredients required for a massy masala entertainer — good action,
music, drama and, of course, Salman packing all of this in one story. The
portions where the actor throws in comedy while doing hardcore action scenes
are nicely done.
3) Students can use any points to write the review of the film.
4) It’s open-ended question so students can express their own views.

Subject/story/ plot:
‘Laddoo’ by the director duo Sameer Sadhwani and Kishor Sadhwani is the story of a curious young boy. As per the Hindu Rituals, it is believed an offering made to ancestors on their death anniversary reaches them through pandit but the young boy fails to understand how this happens.

Message
The short film ‘Laddoo’ is a food for thought. The film gives a message that no matter the name we choose for God, Bhagwan, or Allah, they are all the same indeed. The strength of the film lies in its writing. The innocent questions of a child remind grownups the truth they have forgotten while raising imaginary walls and boundaries on the basis of religion. As per my opinion 'Laddoo' is a very good short film.
