Evaluator: You’ve all been given a few minutes to think on your topic for today’s group discussion, which is ‘Teenagers are more inclined towards junk food’. You may now begin the discussion. Who would like to start?

Rama : I think, teenager love junk food because it is very attractive to the eyes. It is also very tasty, but addictive. Once you start to eat junk food you will need a lot of will power to change your habit.

Asif    : Rama, I fully agree with you.  There are many teenagers  who eat junk food out of ignorance, but it is not good for their health, I saw some of my friends who know it is not good yet they continue eating it. I many time told them that junk food will bring a lot of suffering in life through sickness and disease and even early death. But they are addicted. I think Aarav is also addicted of junk food.

Aarav    : Excuse me. Could I add something, please? Let me give my personal example, why I eat junk food. When my brother and I were kids. Our single mother worked 60-70 hours a week and did not have time to cook. That’s why I think she  bought so much junk food. What can you do in this condition? now I know, Junk foods are rich in calories, salt and fats. Excess consumption of junk foods would lead rise to variety of health problems. But I can’t blame my mother. Now I do not eat it regularly.  

Rachana  :I fully agree with Aarav. It is good that Aarav now  started caring about what he should put into his body. In fact, fitness has become a trend among teenagers today. Moreover, most teenagers get the information from the internet and realized the ill- effects of junk food and the benefits of a healthy diet. So I believe, they are neglecting to indulge in junk food.

Evaluator :  Please conclude.

Aarav     :  We can conclude by saying that it is foolishness to treat our cars better than our own bodies. But I can say we should not eat junk for 90 Days, It is very wrong to continue eating. Once you make your mind not to eat it, it becomes easier to keep your hand off the junk food and live a healthy life. Otherwise we will dig our own graves.

Manisha: I’ll start. Social networking sites have become an integral part of our lives. They’re a great platform for connecting with friends and family, especially if they live far away. They also help in building professional networks and staying updated with the latest news and trends.

Pramod: I agree with Manisha to some extent, but we can’t ignore the downsides. These platforms can be addictive, and people often waste too much time scrolling through their feeds like reels.

Vipin: I think it’s all about how you use them. I’ve personally found social networking sites to be very useful for the businessmen. They’ve allowed them to reach a wider audience and engage with potential customers. It’s not just about connecting with friends; it’s a powerful tool for businesses too.

Riyaz: Vipin , you are true, but we should not forget the mental health aspect. Excessive use of social media can lead to anxiety and depression. There’s also the issue of cyberbullying, which can be extremely harmful, especially to young people.

Evaluator: Please conclude.

Vipin: In conclusion, social networking sites are a double-edged sword. They offer numerous benefits in terms of connection and business opportunities, but they come with their own set of challenges and risks. It’s important for individuals to use them mindfully and responsibly.

Nikita: I’ll put my words first. Soft skills, like good behavior and interpersonal skills, are essential in the workplace. They make a significant difference between boss and workers.  When we exhibit good behavior, it not only creates healthy environment but also increases productivity.

Kajal: I completely agree, Nikita. Soft skills, like effective communication is important. Without these skills, even the most talented person will have to face many problems at a workplace. 

Pallavi: I think it goes beyond just the work environment. Soft skills are also important in dealing with clients and customers. They help in building trust and strong relationships, which in turn can have a positive impact on a company’s reputation and success.

Abhi: While I agree with the importance of soft skills, I’d like to add that in some industries, technical expertise is given more importance than good behavior. However, I believe that both skills are essential for career and personal development.

Evaluator: Please conclude.

Kajal: To conclude, soft skills—in particular, excellent behavior—are essential for a productive workplace. They contribute not only to individual growth but also to the overall success of the organization. The secret to a successful career is balancing both work skills and soft skills.
