My English Speech

Assalamualaikum wr wb.

I thank God for giving the health and time to share a knowledge on this historic day, the day of national education.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Indonesia is a big country, inhabited by hundreds of millions people includes islands spread widely. We have been independent since 1945, but I think Indonesia is not yet independent in terms of education. Although we have changed curricula almost every year, but it proved that the Indonesian education has not been able to compete with the developed countries. We tend to fall behind and have not been able to print a great human resources class as developed countries.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I tried to draw a line to the back, and I get the irony which is really disappointing. In this very rich country, there are so many students drop out of school, do not have a uniform, and swim to go to school because of the broken bridge. It is an irony in the midst of our State assets.

Statistics of school buildings damaged and have not been improved are also too much. It is happening in the provinces that are far away from the center of government and gives continuing negative effect on the education system in the province itself.

Of course, a child who does not get an education will have difficulties in achieving a better stAndard of living in his future. You've seen that a lot of ignorance and poverty arise because so many crimes arising from poverty.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Education is a major key to get a better state order. Through proper and best education, we are able to print high-quality human resources, eradicate ignorance, and destroy poverty.

Therefore, let us together to be students and teachers that are diligent, sincere, and keep trying without the unyielding. We are Indonesia, a rich country that should have the best education. Do not give up on the fate of our nation today, and continues to struggle in gaining an independence education.

I would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to convey these short useful messages.

Thank you for all the attention,

Wassalamualaikum wr wb.

Best Teaching of the Best Teacher

Sewaktu saya menginjak kelas 1 SMK atau kelas 10, ada seorang guru terbaik yang tidak pernah saya lupakan, beliau bernama Chaerul Alvie Sjahri, seorang guru berbadan mungil namun memiliki kemampuan pengajaran Bahasa Inggris yang baik. 

Ketika pertama kali masuk kelasnya, kami dibuat tidak berkutik, karena sepanjang beliau mengajar, tidak ada kata-kata dalam bahasa Indonesia yang terucap. Beliau terus menerus tanpa henti berceloteh Bahasa Inggris dan saya tahu bahwa itu adalah caranya memperkenalkan teknik mengejarnya. But it's extremely bad for me..

Lambat laun saya semakin tertarik dengan cara dia mengajar dan saat itu saya benar-benar jatuh cinta dengan Bahasa Inggris. Dia menjadikan Bahasa Inggris ada di sekitar kami semua. Kami terus dipaksa untuk berbicara, mengucapkan kosa kata, menulis, membaca. Tetapi hal yang paling ditekankan olehnya adalah BERBICARA.

Beliau benar-benar tidak suka apabila seorang muridnya tidak mengucapkan sepatah katapun dalam Bahasa Inggris ketika Ia mengajar. Ada ledekan-ledekan yang sering membuat kami malu ketika kami tidak aktif dalam kelasnya, dan itu membuat kami semua terpacu untuk terus mengasah kemampuan Bahasa Inggris.
