• Listening means paying attention to the sound and trying to understand its meaning.

Good morning respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends.

Today, I would like to talk about “Kindness Makes the World a Better Place.”

Firstly, kindness means caring for others and helping those in need. Even a kind word or a small act of help can make another person feel happy and valued.

Secondly, we should treat everyone with respect. We should never bully, mock or ignore others. We should stand beside people who need our support.

In addition, kindness creates friendship, trust and happiness. It helps people feel safe and included.

Finally, if each one of us practises kindness every day, our school, society and the whole world will become more peaceful and beautiful.

Thank you all for listening.
