Assalamu’alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarokatuh,
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, 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 ones are merely from Allah SWT. So, I beg your
pardon, finally I say.
Wassalamu’alaikum Warahmatullohi Wabarakatuh
