“The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.” – Mark Twain

Elocution is the skill or style of delivering the speech in a clear and expressive way. It is an important art which needs to be inculcated by the students of the 21st century. It is a brilliant way to share one’s thoughts and feelings in an effective manner.

The final round of the Inter-house English Elocution Competition for Classes VI, VII and VIII was conducted on March 27 and 28, 2019. Students of Class VI students spoke about ‘My environment my Responsibility’, where they expressed their concerns regarding the environment protection and its importance for the sustainability of life on earth. Many of them also emphasised on the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and its significance for a healthy living.

Class VII students spoke on ‘Women Empowerment’ sharing the contributions made by women towards the society and the role played by strong women leaders for the betterment of mankind. The students of Class VIII spoke on ‘Character makes an individual’, where the students expressed their views on the importance of character for making an individual.

The judgement was based on content, word choice, ideas, body language, voice modulation, pronunciation, grammar and memory. Each participant was given a time limit of two minutes to express their thoughts and views. Earlier a preliminary round was held from March 19 to 25 in the respective classrooms to select the finalists.

Elocution is a great way to develop vocabulary, speech fluency, boosts confidence, enhance listening as well as research skills.
