Answer: Model speech

Respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends,

Today I am going to speak on ‘The role of vegetables for better living’. We often say that health is wealth, and the simplest way to earn this wealth is to eat vegetables every day.

Vegetables are almost a complete food. Green leafy vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, beans and pumpkins are rich sources of vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium — the life-supporting elements our body needs. They are full of nutrients and energy, and their fibre keeps our digestion healthy. They build our resistance to disease and keep our eyes, skin and bones strong.

The best part is that vegetables are available everywhere easily — in every village market and city shop — and they suit every season. They are of low cost but give high benefits, unlike costly junk food that harms our health. We can even grow some of them in our own kitchen garden.

So, friends, let us say no to junk food and fill our plates with fresh vegetables. Eat vegetables and live a healthy life !

Thank you.
