Good Afternoon,

Honorable all the juries and the committee of this English speech contest.

First of all, let’s thank to Allah SWT who has given us many mercies and blessing so we can join this program without any troubles. Secondly, I would like to introduce myself.

My name is ……. I am a student of …..

Well, ladies and gentlemen, in this occasion I would like to tell you about the importance of English for us.

Ladies and gentlemen,

English is an International language, so it’s very important for us to learn English. Some of us may be think that it’s not necessary to be able to master English because we live in Indonesia, we speak Indonesian language, and all of our families are Indonesian people .The others think that English is difficult lesson, so they are reluctant to learnEnglish. But from now, we have to change our mind. Why? Ladies and gentlemen, all of us knew have known that English is an International language. There are so many advertisements in the newspapers look for people who have ability in English. It means that there are so many business companies want to look for the employees who have ability in English. We have graduated from the university. We have knowledge, but if we can’t compete with other people because we can’t speak and write English, it’ so poor for us. That’s one of the reasons why we have to learn English.

My friends,

Now we live in modern era, we have to compete with the people from other countries. We have to move on. It will happen if can communicate in English, right? There are so many information we can get from the internet. It’s very useful for us as students. By internet, we can find information about everything to support our school needs. It will be easier if we know English well.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The government has students exchange program. The program is held to exchange the

Indonesian students with other countries’ students, they will know the culture and many things about Indonesia, and so do we. If we want to join in this program, of course we have to be able to communicate in English. Don’t we want to join it? I, myself, really want to join it if there is a chance. I’m sure that you want too.

Ladies and gentlemen,

We have known the importance of English. From now, don’t be lazy to learn English! By trying and trying, I’m sure we can make it. Let’s do it now! Let’s do our best!

I think that all what I can tell you. Thank you for your attention. Assalamualaikum wr. wb.

Assalamualaikum wr. wb.

With all due respect to the honourable judges, to the teacher from all Senior High Schools in Bekasi, and all the audience here, ladies and gentlemen… Good Morning!!

First of all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on this sunny morning. Sholawat  and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen.

In this chance, I would like to tell you my speech that has the theme “Go Green!”

Saving Our Planet is a program that was persuading the earthlings so that they would become more concern and care to their entire environment. It was because the civilization that has been created by the modern people in this millennium era had affected so many destructive impacts which are really needed to be concerned. These impacts are causing a new problem, The “Global Warming”. In prediction, that in the last 100 years the temperatures of our planet has increased by 1’ every year. Meanwhile, the ocean surface has increased for about 1 meter from its former level. The problem is, modern people not only wanted to increase their prosperity, but also increase their rate of comfortable & luxurious life. 

The situation was very different if we looked back to the last century where the pollution, the industrial garbage, and the toxin gases were friendlier. Friendlier, because on the 19^th Century the technologies improvement and the consumerism character was not yet significant.

Or should we say in this millennium era, the Earth exploitation and exploration were causing the crucial problem for the earthlings.

How crucial the earth environmental problems we face are for example: The protected animals & plants from certain species nearly extinct, the plantation sector is causing another problem for environment & ecosystem, forest logging without reboization, and the impact of mines exploitation that cannot be recycled and maintenance of mine sector, etc. For us, the youth generation is asking to the politicians and the government especially in Indonesia, “Why do those problems I mentioned left uncared without any preventive actions?” In fact, our ex-Minister of Environment of “OrdeBaru” era Prof.Dr. Emil Salim has warned and gave us an opinion about will happen on the next 20 years. He said that the situation will be dangerous if there are no actions to prevent this. We need the proactive steps to maintain the nature and to rehabilitee what we have disrupted from every department that is connected with the environmental cases and our community. The example about the impact of human’s greed to the nature is The LapindoBrantas case. That’s how the nature shows us their power. There’s not even one human could stand against the power of nature. Until now, there are no ways to stop the mud throwing and even the poisonous gases that is unwanted by the people.

We as the khalifah of the Earth can only begging, begging, and begging to the nature and destroy the nature. But when we must give something to the nature or maintain the nature, we feel that we don’t want to! Is the nature retaliating our doings? When we think deeply over this I guess the answer is “yes”, the nature is angry to us. The nature’s balance was really disturbed by the mortal’s hands and this behavior has spread widely over the world because of our hedonism.

The question is “How”? How do we realize collectively for the world’s life so that so that the Earth could become a better place to live…?

We as the youth generations, the lines of the civilization must be as one to create the vision & mission to help the government and the people for watching over the reboization program and for the environment reparation that is caused by the industrialist and the people generally wherever they are. We as the youth generation without exception must be totally devote our bodies & wills for the sake of healthy world, comfortable world, and for the sake of better place to live…

I suggest to the government and the people of Indonesia to plant the cambium plants or the pot plants on every one of the house garden. Everyone, every people must be responsible for every single of plants. Imagine! If every people have 1 plant in one house, there are 200 millions of plants in Indonesia. This is a very good step to begin our mission to prevent the Global Warming. Start this on any time now! For my recommendation, the sansivieras (one of the most beautiful pot plant) is really good to kept because of its great use of anti-pollutant & anti-free radical. Besides, its beauty will decorate our house so that we won’t feel bad to buy it.

Well, I guess that’s all I can tell. In the end, to show our devotion as the youngish, the lines to the future, we must be balanced it with faith and taqwa because those are our capitol to realize our wishes so that we can live in perfect harmony just as Allah SWT has confirmed to us.

WassalamualaikumWrWb.

Good morning all, Alhamdulillah by the grace of Allah the Almighty God, now I can stand here in front of you all. At this moment we can meet in good condition. Now I will tell you about "The importance of protecting the environment"

Plants, people, animals and the environment are interdependence. Plants need a good environment for growing, animals need plants to eat, and human need everything to survive. Everything went as usual until the human who destroying it. No one of living things on the earth who can destroying it except the human.

Globalization may already be familiar to you . Globalization can accelerate the rate of economy anywhere. Technology developed over the years become a tool that can easily human works. Even to support it many new technologies are born for example a computer. Unfortunately, the speed of current technological improvement not followed by protecting awareness of surrounding environment. Massive oil drilling caused by the human vehicle is increasing along with increasing human populations from year to year. Finally, the waste produced from the vehicles, become one of the main factors polluted air around us. A lot of environmental damage that we often hear, for example, global warming ,acid rain, greenhouse effect, environmental pollution and so on.

The greenhouse effect caused by excessive carbon dioxide gas and causes global warming makes the earth hotter. The next phenomenon is acid rain, although it can prevent global warming but acid rain is more dangerous. humans are the main causes ! Start From now let's keep our environment for our grandchildren one day later. because no matter how small work you do, will be felt by our children and grandchildren one day later.

This is enough from me .sorry if there was a mistake, thank you for your attention.
