“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
