You may use the following points:

Ans:
‘Health and Diet’.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good health is like having a valuable treasure. Sometimes, in our busy lives, we forget to take care of the most important things—our health and what we eat. Our well-being depends on two essential things: regular exercise and eating a balanced diet.
Regular exercise helps keep our bodies strong, improves our heart health, and makes us feel better mentally. It also helps us maintain a healthy weight and lowers the chances of getting long-term illnesses. Similarly, a balanced diet gives our bodies the right nutrients and vitamins to work properly. It’s true when they say, “You are what you eat.” What we put into our bodies directly affects how we feel and function.
In addition to exercise and diet, it’s important to drink enough water, get a good night’s sleep, and manage stress. Staying hydrated keeps our bodies working well, while sleep helps us feel refreshed and ready for the day. Finding ways to manage stress, like doing activities we enjoy or taking time to relax, can greatly improve our mental and emotional well-being.
Let’s remember that our health is something we shouldn’t ignore. It takes effort and commitment. By making smart choices, exercising regularly, and eating nutritious foods, we can have a vibrant and satisfying life.
Thank you.

Ans:
“The Guardian’s Return”
Aman and his friends decided to explore Shivneri Fort. They loved the beautiful views and talked about the brave warriors who protected the fort. They climbed up the rough path, excited to find out its secrets. When they reached the entrance, the sun was setting, making everything look orange.
Inside the fort, it felt quiet and strange. Aman’s heart raced as they walked further, their footsteps echoing in the empty halls. Suddenly, a strong wind blew out their torches, leaving them in the dark. They tried to find each other by feeling around. Amidst the confusion, Aman heard a soft voice telling them to find the forgotten guardian. Confused but determined, he told his friends. They knew there was more to discover.
Together, they explored the maze-like passages, finding hidden rooms with clues about the guardian. They learned about the ancient protector who kept the fort’s magic safe. As they went deeper, the fort came to life. They saw ghostly soldiers and heard echoes of old battles. The spirits guided them with their wisdom. Finally, they found a secret room with a broken statue of the guardian. They realized its importance and worked together to fix it. The fort hummed with energy as they finished the task. The fort changed completely. Its walls became grand again, and colourful gardens grew in the courtyard. The guardian appeared, ready to protect the fort once more. Their job was done, so Aman and his friends said goodbye. Looking back, they knew they had experienced something amazing. “The Guardian’s Return” had brought new excitement and interest to the fort for many years to come.
