SAMPLE ANSWER

I do love listening to speeches and have heard a lot of Ted Talks and speeches by great men of our times. Today I am going to talk about a speech that I recently heard on youtube. The speech was given by Mohammad Qahtani in 2015 at the world Championship of Public Speaking. The speech was titled “The Power of Words” and he started the speech with a clear message that he was going to carry home. He said,” Sugar is more dangerous than tobacco can ever be because there are so many people dying of diabetes”. For a second I did believe it and then he brings the idea home that words are indeed powerful.

Qahtani then carried forward with examples of how is friend died because his father refused to accept his accolades. Not only did the content fascinated me but the way he spoke it out was truly mesmerizing and impactful. The expressions and the voice modulation, it seemed as if he was telling a story and making people understand that words can make difference in the lives of people.

I really liked the speech for its content, the vividness with which he explained every incident and the purity that the message and the speaker had. It all seemed real and the power the message had moved me.

Ankush is like a scientist who loves exploring the deep ocean. I know him since past 5 years. He goes on cool trips to learn about underwater stuff and even found a new kind of jellyfish that glows! What’s awesome is that Ankush turns his backyard into a fun class where our kids can learn about the ocean and how to help take care of it. He talks about sharks, those colorful reefs, and what we can do to keep the oceans clean. You can tell he’s really excited about his job, and when he tells us about his adventures, it’s like we’re going on a cool journey too. So, having Ankush as our neighbor is like having a super friendly teacher and an explorer right next door!

The film generated immense excitement among the viewers but ultimately failed to impress the audience. The movie tried to blend action with a historical context. However, it suffered from a weak and boring plot that struggled to maintain sense. even the versatile actors couldn’t save it from the criticism it received.
