Solution
Good Morning to one and all present here. I am Shirin. The Head Girl of the school. I am going to present a speech on “Teenagers are never too young to teach others a thing or two - be it about technology or environment”.
It is widely believed that teenagers can´t teach other people when they are the ones who want to learn, to show the world our ideas and skills.
We are the generation who are told that they were born with a computer in their hands, but none takes our opinion as important. First of all, it is worth considering that teenagers explain to their parents and grandparents new technology advancing every day. For example, when they buy a new mobile phone, we are who explain how everything works.
We are the group of people who are most aware of climate change and pollution. We are also the ones who are most concerned about the well-being of the environment, but you could also say that teenagers are looking for ideas and creating projects to save the Earth.
It is probably true that teenagers work hard to show that they have a view and experience in some fields. We may not have a degree, though we have learned many things throughout our lives that could help both children and adults in their own lives. Having considered all the points above, I disagree that teenagers are too young to teach other people, they can do this and more.
Thank You.
