ENGLISH SPEECH: THE IMPORTANCE OF MASTERING ENGLISH
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.
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 skillful 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) has ever said:
“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do”
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.

Speech on Teacher's Day
Honorable Juries
Honorable our Teachers
Ladies and Gentlemen; Brothers and Sisters
Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
It is a great honor for me to join this English speech contest. Thank you very much for the chance given to me.
Ladies and Gentlemen;
The title of my speech is: “Teachers’ Day”.
Every year, on the 25th of November, we commemorate the birthday of Teachers’ Association of the Republic of Indonesia, or known as PGRI. The day is also called National Teachers’ Day. The commemoration is a kind of appreciation for our teachers. It is usually celebrated in a ceremonial activity by giving a recognition to a certain teachers, head masters, or school attendants.
Brothers and Sisters;
The Teachers’ Association of the Republic of Indonesia (PGRI) was founded on 25th November,1945, about three months after the proclamation of the Indonesian independence. At the time, the establishment of PGRI had three purposes, they were: first, defending the independence of Indonesia; second, improving education in our country; and the last, helping the labors and teachers get their rights.
For many years, PGRI has become a functional organization representing teachers as civil servants. It has been a survival union in any kinds of social and political situation. No matter how difficult the condition of our country, PGRI always tries to survive. It will keep struggling to improve the quality of education in this country.
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Today, we are in the situation of the celebration of Teachers’ Day. We are commemorating the birthday of PGRI. The question is, what should we do to make this celebration have a great meaning to the improvement of our education system?
We cannot deny that the quality of our education is still poor. It is a fact that our education achievement is at the bottom within South-East Asia countries, even we are left behind our neighbors. There are many problems in our education system. Let me give some examples: many teachers are poorly trained both in their subject matters and in teaching skills, our teachers’ salaries are low, our education fee is still expensive, and also other crucial problems related with the curriculum, national exam (UN), and teacher certification.
Brothers and Sisters;
We all know that our concern now is on how to improve the quality of our education sector. I think, there are basically two main aspects that we should focus on. The first one is human aspect and the second is our system. Human aspect means that we must overhaul the stakeholders of education sector, for examples: teachers, students, administration staff, and society. The second aspect means that we must also re-evaluate the system of our education. Our system should emphasize on the curriculum which encourages students to be able to apply their knowledge in the field of job and be ready to face the globalization.
Dealing with the above description, it is clear that PGRI has a very important role in improving the quality of our education. As the representative of teachers, PGRI should take a part on the problems related with teachers. It is impossible for us to improve the quality of our education if we do not improve the quality of our teachers. In other words, PGRI should participate actively in creating professional teachers. But, I think it is very difficult to make our teachers professional, if they do not have enough salaries for their living. It means that professional teachers should have good welfare.
Ladies and Gentlemen;
Brothers and Sisters;
Before I close my speech, on this good occasion, I would like to say… Happy Teachers’ Day! Happy birthday PGRI! Thank you very much for your dedication, thank you very much for participating in improving the quality of our education.
I think that’s all.
Thank you very much for your attention.
Wassalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.
