Good day dear teachers and guests. Today we have a very exciting discussion with 9-10^th grades. The theme of discussion is “Bookworms”. All the participants are ready. Students have read «Jane Eyre» book by Charlotte Bronte, «Moby Dick» book by Herman Melville, «The Time machine» book by Herbert George Wells for a month. The books is so interesting that we decided to have a discussion. Reading books is extremely important. If you read books avidly apparently you obtain lots of good information. As a result, you become knowledgeable.

Reading books is completely overlooked by most people across the world. Most adults don’t read because they are unconscious about the essence of reading. Benefits of reading books avidly are countless. Some people never realised that a person does not live on bread and butter only. A person primarily exists due to the amount of good knowledge in their mind. The more of good knowledge a person possesses the better. An empty mind leads to instant death – because a person can live whilst dead – mobile corpse. Muscle does not make a person strong, eating books make a person strong. 

The first stage is: Introducing stage. Students have prepared the presentation where they introduce the participants and team’s name.
