Bismillahirrahmaanirrahiem,
Assalamu’alaikum
Warahmatullahi Wabarokatuh,
Your
Excellencies the committee,
The
honorable of jury,
Dear
my friends who participates in this speech contest,
And
my loving brothers and sisters
In
the name of Allah, the Beneficent and the Merciful.
All praises be to Allah SWT, the lord of the world, the
master of the day after, the creator of everything in this Universe, where he
has no partner. He has also given us such deeply enjoyable, particularly faith
and healthy comfort, hence, we could attend here in a good situation.
Peace and Salutation be upon our prophet Muhammad SAW, who
has taught us the cardinal principles of the unity of God, obliged us to
confess it with the tongue and believe it in the heart. He also has brought us
from the darkness to the brightness, from stupidity to cleverness, in the other
word “Minazzhulumaati Ilannuur”
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Indeed, it is very great pleasure for me in this precious
chance to deliver my speech to the most honorable audiences entitled:
“THE IMPORTANCE OF MASTERING ENGLISH”
Before I am going to deliver the main point of my speech, I
thank to the Education and Culture department of Sukabumi regency, particularly
to the committee of this- program who has invited our school to participate in
this contest.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Language plays an important role in human life. One tries
to acquire, learn and use language as a means of communication, and
simultaneously as social symbol of humanity. By using language someone could
make statements, convey facts and knowledge, explain or report something, and
keep social relations among the language users. These indicate that by means of
language, people can express their ideas, feeling, information etc through
communication.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
As one of language in the world, English is considered and
applied as international language. Since then, it is very popular and have been
spoken and learnt by almost people in the world. There are some reasons why
English is important and many people attempt to learn it. Some of them are: for
finding job, traveling, interacting one each other, doing business, taking
examination, doing research, writing in the foreign language, etc.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In such developing country like Indonesia, English has a vital role
in all aspects of life, particularly in science and technology. Furthermore, it
can be used for developing relationships in the international forum, for
reading English book (especially for students from primary school up to
colleges/university), to tighten the relationship among nations in the
world, etc. As students, we learn English are intended to obtain various
knowledge, to comprehend and understand the textbooks learned in English, to
gain knowledge and skills, and to be ready enter to the university, as one of
the test requirements for students of senior High School (SMA), etc. Looking at
the above important roles of English, that is why English is very important to
understand and to master by every people throughout the world since before.
My
brothers and sisters!
At the end of my speech, I will quote a wise expression: “ENGLISH
WILL MAKE EVERYBODY SURVIVE AND GO ANYWHERE”. This expression reminds us
how importance of English for human life is. As global or universal language,
English is not only enables us to communicate and interact with every people
throughout the world, but also it could alter our life to be better.
Furthermore, we also must be aware that the western countries play extra
ordinary role in developing and keeping science and technology. Thus, if we
want to be a skilful scientists, linguists, and be able to compete with the
other countries in the world, we must understand, master and learn the language
they use, namely English.
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
Before
ending this speech, let me conclude the essential points of my speech:
1. English is highly
necessary to be learned and mastered by everyone, in order to be able to
compete in the globalization era;
2. English
is a key to open and master science and technology, because most of scientists
write their experts and inventions in English.
3. As
students of high school (SMA), we have to prepare ourselves by learning hard,
particularly English as well as the other subjects at school;
4. By
mastering English enables us to become survive and go anywhere throughout the
world;
Goethe (a Greek philosopher) have ever said:
“Knowing is not enough, we must apply.
Willing is not enough, we must do” and remember:”
Remember: Language indicates Nation. And
Don’t Forget “English is a bridge for the future”
Ladies
and Gentlemen,
I think it’s completely enough for me to this point. The
wrong utterances are caused by limitation of my ability and the right one is
merely from Allah SWT. So, I beg your pardon, finally I say.
Wassalamu’alaikum Warohmatullohi Wabarokatuh
