Pidato Bahasa Inggris Tentang Pendidikan

Assalamualaikum wr.wb.

Good Morning

In this lovely occasion May Allah SWT bless us and always give his mercies. And I would like to deliver my speech which titled “Teachers are hero too”.

The Honorable, Headmaster of MTs Al-Hidayah Nufus

The Honorable, The teachers of MTs Al-Hidayah Nufus

My Friends who I love.

As we know Indonesia is an absolutely rich in source and human. So we must say thanks a lot to the God who made us here. But we also must keep both of these resources being maximized and respect all which is contained in.

Teacher is one of the occupation in Indonesia. They are also as the human resources. Being a independent generation which develop the main character of student as the next generation is not a easy. This is why the task of the teacher is heavy.

They are as one of the main factor of the developing countries. Bad or not can be by how teacher in one country. So the fully take a role in education. In case many of the teacher don’t get enough facilities and salary by their occupation.

By seeing in the small region, teacher, to eat some rice is hard. They blamed by their salary can not covered their live cost. In result, other people do not want to be teacher as poor as this situation.

It needs more support from the government to fulfill their live cost, increase their incentive, salary, and other for their wife and children. So they can survive in this hero occupation called “teacher” like in the other developed country, Swiss, Finland, UK.

So, respect teachers by studying hard!

Thanks for your attention.

Wassalamualaikum wr. Wb.

PUISI; Megah Bagai Bak Surga

Megah Bagai Bak Surga

Oleh Ikhwan Febrianto

Melingkar luas menyusuri sudut kecil bumi

kau berlari meninggalkan yang tak pasti

apakah kau yakin dengan negeri ini?

Lumpur tanah liat merah menjulang tinggi

Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi?

Kau tarik kain sutra dari tempatmu

tutupi tubuhmu dengan kain itu




Aku takjub melihatnya megah bagai bak surga

memancarkan cahaya yang membuatku buta

kau tarik lagi kertas warnamu

aku pikir kau sudah lupa, aku pikir kau sudah rubah

aku mengais lembar kecil yang kau jatuhkan

ku pikir itu berharga

suatu saat kau akan memerlukannya

WATCHING TELEVISION IS INTERESTING THAN READING BOOKS

By Ikhwan Febrianto

Ever since the invention of books, reading has been a popular past time with those able to read. The more people read books, the better they could read, and the better educated they became. But more recently, technology means that less and less people are choosing to read to fill their time. One of the main things that people now do in their free time when they ordinarily would have been reading is to watch television, and there are several reasons watching TV is interesting than reading a books.

The first, watching television is easier than reading. It does not require us to use our brains as much or concentrating very hard so that watching TV could become more attractive after a long day of work. Besides that, watching TV is more interesting than reading a book, get more practical information without trying to understand it.

The second, watching television is more interesting than reading a book. Watching TV has a lot of interesting programs in every event. In addition, watching TV is also more colorful with advanced visual than reading the book. Moreover, the increasing dependence watches TV because they are more relax watching TV broadcasts of interest without having to buy a lot of books, to find an interest and to get information. Broadcast TV is very diverse and exciting to make people wait to watch the event.

The third, watching TV get update information than reading a book. A broadcast is better with the updated information into the cause of the switch to watch TV spend free time. Watching TV is obtain diverse information rather than reading books that only focus on one topic only. Besides that, reading the book more tedious to continue to focus on a single topic. Watch TV is more quickly get information just by sitting relaxing than reading books that require a quiet and comfortable place.

The cost of books is also having an impact, because with television you do not have to pay for as much as you want. There are subscription costs and license fees, but once you have paid those, you can watch as little or as much TV as you want, with the only additional cost being electricity. With books, however, the more you read, the more you have to spend. And while it is true that you can pick them up second hand, sometimes it is hard to find what you want, and some people do not like to buy things second hand, so the price of books compared to television could certainly be a factor.

In Conclusion, there can be no doubt that the availability; choice and price of television are meaning that fewer people are choosing to read books. Plus, because reading improves with practice and technology is moving forward all the time, it is a situation that is only going to get worse. We feel watching TV can get the information with many topics from the channels television; therefore watching television is good for other people to spend their time but leave a spare time to read a book.

The cigarette is a long cylinder that contains tobacco and wrapped in paper. Smoking is a people habit to spend their time in modern time. There are many people like to smoke and they think, smoking is a good habit to show their manhood.

MANUSIA DISELIMUTI KEGELISAHAN/KEGALAUAN

Akhir akhir ini banyak orang yang merasakan kegelisahan atau kegalauan. Gelisah atau galau adalah masa kebimbangan manusia dalam menentukan prioritas tujuannya sampai mendapatkan jawaban dari kegelisahannya. Namun, banyak orang yang masih dihantui oleh kebingungannya sediri bahkan sampai lupa siapa dia sebenarnya. Semakin merasakan kebingungan maka semakin bersar rasa ketakutan yang dialaminya. Maka dari itu kita harus bisa menemukan jawaban dari kegelisahan tersebut.

Pertama, tulis dan tanamkan apa prioritas pertama, kedua, ketiga dan seterusnya. Mungkin dari kita menyebutkan prioritas utama adalah dunia dan melupakan prioritas akhirat. Hal itu bisa disebut manusia diambang jalan. Sahabat saya mengatakan bahwa kalau dunia dijadikan jembatan ke akhirat itu bagus tapi manusia lebih suka hidup dijembatannya daripada diakhiratnya. Penulis sependapat dengan pernyataan tersebut karena memasuki zaman yang modern ini membuat manusia menjadi lupa dan lalai oleh teknologi. Mereka lebih sering membuka gadgetnya dari pada pandoman hidupnya (Al-Qur’an). Pendeknya adalah ketika kita diselimuti oleh kegalauan atau kegelisahan makan lihat dan ingat kembali apa prioritas utamamu? Jika prioritas kedua menunjang prioritas utamamu itu akan sangat baik tapi kalau melalaikan yang pertama itu bahaya. Contohnya; prioritas utama adalah sukses, kedua keluarga, ketiga kerja, keempat kuliah, kelima pacar dan keenam teman atau sahabat. Maka ketika kalian mengalami galau di prioritas pacar. Kenapa penulis menyebutkan pacar ? karena penulispun sering mengalaminya. Ketika kita mengalami hal tersebut maka ingatlah hal itu prioritas keberapa? Jalani saja dengan nyaman dan aman kelak kalian akan mengetahui siapakah yang patut kalian prioritaskan.

Kedua, temukan jawaban dari kegelisahan atau kegalauan itu sendiri. Ketika mendapatkan sebuah kegelisahan atau kegalauan manusia lebih memilih meninggalkan ketimbang mencari jawaban. Mereka lebih memilih nikmat dan senang-senang untuk melupakan kegelisahan atau kegalauan. Ingat, hal itu hanya hilang seketika saja selanjutnya kalian masih dihadapkan oleh masalah tersebut. Meninggalkan sebuah masalah yang menyebabkan kegelisahan tidak menyelesaikan masalah itu sendiri. Cara efektifnya adalah mencari jawaban dari permasalahan dari kegelisahan atau kegalauan tersebut. Misalkan: Si A merupakan seorang pemuda yang aktif dalam berorganisasi namun suatu ketika ia dihadapkan oleh situasi yang membuatnya bingung. Biasanya masalah yang dihadapkannya adalah memilih untuk berorganisasi atau memilih untuk serius membangun keluarga. Namun, banyak aktivis yang berhasil menemukan jawabanya yaitu memilih untuk focus terhadap organisasi kemudian memperisapkan diri untuk membangun keluarga. Hal ini berhubungan dengan peryataan pertama yaitu memilih atau menentukan tujuan prioritas utama maka prioritas selanjutnya akan mengikuti prioritas utama. Ibarat kereta, jika tidak ada mesin yang bagus maka gerbong tidak akan terbawa.

Berdasarkan penjelasan tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa manusia merupakan makhluk yang ciptakan untuk berpikir supaya ia dapat mengerti apa arti sebuah kehidupan dan semua manusia memiliki pemikiran yang berbeda beda. Maka dari itu prioritaskan tujuan hidup untuk mencapai kesuksesan, selesaikan sebuah masalah galau atau gelisah dengan pemikiran yang tepat. Penulis menyadari masih banyak kekurangan dalam penulisan artikel tersebut. Namun hal itu merupakan proses menuju kesempurnaan. Terima kasih…
