Good morning to teachers and friends,

I am Zahra. Today, I am going to talk about ‘Safety at School’.

There are many ways we can do, to make sure we are safe at school.
First, obey the school rules, never violate them. Second, talk to teachers
when you bump into a bully incident. They will come for a rescue.
Thirdly, if someone tries to extort some money from you, report it
immediately to headmaster and your parents.

As saying goes, ‘prevention is better than cure’. With that, I end my

speech. Thank you.
