Sex Education at School

Assalamuallaikum Wr.Wb.
The honourable,
The judge of English speech contest, The teacher, brother and sister, and all of the participants of English Speech contest, good morning. May I tell you, first of all how pleased I’m to have an opportunity to stand here and deliver a speech in front of you. My speech title is …
SEX EDUCATION AT SCHOOL
 Teenagers are the most important part of the growth of the country. They are the new generation. However there are many teenagers have been depraved. They run to drugs, commit suicide free sex, drink alcohol, smoking, etc. Those are spreading in teenagers’ life. And the most popular problem is free sex. Many teenagers think that sex before married is proper. We know that it is very bad for them. There are many bad effect of free sex. Such as, we can suffer from HIV/AIDS and then the pregnancy for the girls. It will damage their future. Teenagers must be given sex education especially at school. The need of comprehension about human sexuality in teenagers’ life must be fulfilled. They must know about free sex life and the sex crime that often happened. They must aware about responsibility of their self. They should get much information about sexuality rightly for them.
The information can be given by sex education at school. The teachers can describe sex for the students in order that the teenagers will avoid sex before married. School is good mediator in giving sex education for the teenagers. School has good condusif situation. School and the teachers are the second circle after the family. It will be better if the teachers hold an event like seminar with a doctor as the speaker. In order that the teenagers can get sex education deeply and give them the aim of sexual activity correctly. With sex education, the teenagers will be careful in doing something about sex. Although they know about how to avoid the pregnancy, put virginity is very important for the woman. Sex before married just makes us fall into a trap. There are some aims of sex education for the teenagers.
Which are they can understand that sexuality as the part of life. They also know about the consequences of un-responsible sex activity. So, sex education is very needed for the teenagers. Starting now, sex education must be given to them. And for sure, the teenagers that fall into free sex. Drugs, alcohol, etc just a few part of many teenagers that want to study hard, and avoiding free sex. Finally, I would like to convoy my highest appreciation. And heart felt thanks to the distinguished participants and the speakers of English speech contest today. Thank you for your kind attention, and
Wassalamuallaikum Wr.Wb

Mouse Deer and Crocodile

One day, Mouse Deer went down to the river to take a drink. But he knew that the crocodile might be waiting underwater to eat him, so he said out loud. “I wonder if the water’s warm. I’ll put in my leg and find out.” Of course Mouse Deer didn’t put in his leg. He picked up a stick instead and put one end into the water. Chomp…! Crocodile grabbed the stick and pulled it underwater. Mouse Deer laughed. “Ha… ha…ha… Stupid crocodile! Cant you tell the difference between a stick and a leg?” Then Mouse Deer ran off to drink somewhere else.

In the next day, Mouse Deer wanted to cross the river. He wanted to eat the fruits on the other side of the river. He saw a floating log in the river. He knew that Crocodile looked like a log when he floated. Mouse Deer didn’t want to be eaten by Crocodile when he crosses the river. He had an idea. He called out loud, “Crocodile!” Crocodile rose from the water, “Hello, Mouse Deer. Have you come to be my lunch?” Mouse Deer smiled. “Sorry, not today, Crocodile. I have orders from the King. He wants to invite all the crocodiles in this river to a party. He wants me to count all the crocodiles so he could prepare enough meal for you.”

“Really…? Tell us what to do,” said Crocodile. “You must line up from this side of the river to the other side,” said Mouse Deer. Crocodile then got all his friends and family. They lined up across the river. Mouse Deer then jumped onto Crocodile’s back. “One,” he counted. He jumped onto the next crocodile, “Two.” And the next crocodile, “Three.” Mouse Deer kept jumping until he arrived on the other side of the river. “How many are there?” asked Crocodile. “Just enough,” said Mouse Deer. He laughed as he ran to the forest.***

Speech Contest

I. Introduction

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb.

With all due respect to the honorable judges, to the teacher from all Senior High Schools in Bekasi, and all the audience here, ladies and gentlemen… Good Morning!!

First of all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on this sunny morning. Shalawat and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen.

In this chance, I would like to tell you my speech that has the theme “Go Green!”

II. Contens

Saving Our Planet is a program that was persuading the earthlings so that they would become more concern and care to their entire environment. It was because the civilization that has been created by the modern people in this millennium era had affected so many destructive impacts which are really needed to be concerned. These impacts are causing a new problem, The “Global Warming”. In prediction, that in the last 100 years the temperatures of our planet has increased by 1’ every year. Meanwhile, the ocean surface has increased for about 1 meter from its former level. The problem is, modern people not only wanted to increase their prosperity, but also increase their rate of comfortable & luxurious life.

The situation was very different if we looked back to the last century where the pollution, the industrial garbage, and the toxin gases were friendlier. Friendlier, because on the 19^th Century the technologies improvement and the consumerism character was not yet significant. Or should we say in this millennium era, the Earth exploitation and exploration were causing the crucial problem for the earthlings.

How crucial the earth environmental problems we face are for example: The protected animals & plants from certain species nearly extinct, the plantation sector is causing another problem for environment & ecosystem, forest logging without reboization, and the impact of mines exploitation that cannot be recycled and maintenance of mine sector, etc. For us, the youth generation is asking to the politicians and the government especially in Indonesia, “Why do those problems I mentioned left uncared without any preventive actions?” In fact, our ex-Minister of Environment of “Orde Baru” era Prof. Dr. Emil Salim has warned and gave us an opinion about will happen on the next 20 years. He said that the situation will be dangerous if there are no actions to prevent this. We need the proactive steps to maintain the nature and to rehabilitee what we have disrupted from every department that is connected with the environmental cases and our community. The example about the impact of human’s greed to the nature is The Lapindo Brantas case. That’s how the nature shows us their power. There’s not even one human could stand against the power of nature. Until now, there are no ways to stop the mud throwing and even the poisonous gases that is unwanted by the people.

We as the khalifah of the Earth can only begging, begging, and begging to the nature and destroy the nature. But when we must give something to the nature or maintain the nature, we feel that we don’t want to! Is the nature retaliating our doings? When we think deeply over this I guess the answer is “yes”, the nature is angry to us. The nature’s balance was really disturbed by the mortal’s hands and this behavior has spread widely over the world because of our hedonism.

The question is “How”? How do we realize collectively for the world’s life so that so that the Earth could become a better place to live…?

We as the youth generations, the lines of the civilization must be as one to create the vision & mission to help the government and the people for watching over the reboization program and for the environment reparation that is caused by the industrialist and the people generally wherever they are. We as the youth generation without exception must be totally devote our bodies & wills for the sake of healthy world, comfortable world, and for the sake of better place to live…

I suggest to the government and the people of Indonesia to plant the cambium plants or the pot plants on every one of the house garden. Everyone, every people must be responsible for every single of plants. Imagine! If every people have 1 plant in one house, there are 200 millions of plants in Indonesia. This is a very good step to begin our mission to prevent the Global Warming. Start this on any time now! For my recommendation, the sansivieras (one of the most beautiful pot plant) is really good to kept because of its great use of anti-pollutant & anti-free radical. Besides, its beauty will decorate our house so that we won’t feel bad to buy it.

III. Closing

Well, I guess that’s all I can tell. In the end, to show our devotion as the youngish, the lines to the future, we must be balanced it with faith and taqwa because those are our capitol to realize our wishes so that we can live in perfect harmony just as Allah SWT has confirmed to us.

Wassalamualaikum Wr Wb.

How to be Master of English

Let's check the causes why you difficult to be. Many people want to master but
4 causes why you difficult to master English:

The cause is the habit of Canada (sorry) ugly. If we speak reviews or, generally, we like to spin (not to the point), plus not structured, so that often we do not know which main subject, main verb, and so on. what relationship with the English language? Please read the following points!
When the cause of both is to use the English language, both via speaking and writing, we are the brain we usually into 2, the partition A to language B and a partition for the English language. First sentence is made in the first partition A, and then exported to the new partition B to be translated before finally expressed through speaking or writing.
The effect is a pattern or grammar that has been gravely trouble since learned to be forgotten because SMP partition B is too busy for translate word that is made in the partition A. Because they talk not structured, partition B to become a headache in the translation. As a result, the partition B often hangs (jammed), and no output is produced. If the partition is successfully removing the B output, the output is generally far below the standard, will the ugly English. In addition, opponents to speak often are eaten mosquitoes already asleep because wait and see.
Motivation is the third cause of that is not consistent. The motivation for student who learns English, Generally, they want to get a good value. This means that only English would be the test of time, and after the test has finished a book settle somewhere.
The fourth is the method of learning English is less precise. If you rely only on power memorize, your English will not get better.

So what solution?

Use only the partition B (and forget the partition A). By using one partition, your grammar will not be contaminated by the structure of language that you are ugly (for example, if the ugly) and communication will become more smoothly because of the reduced red tape in your brain.
If you only have the structure of language and vocabularies that has been learned since junior high school we can actually communicate with the relaxed. Believe or not? If it does not believe, please make the list first! Grouping that you have to know in nouns, verbs, Adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, Prepositions, and articles, and total. Vocabs I am sure you are far above 1000.
You know what? With just over 1000 words, we actually can have communication with the smooth, good in school, at home, in the mall, in bars, or even in a dream. With a note, if you are a blind alley, just revise the kalimatnya with the words of others. Remember, when communication in the English language, just use what you've got and forget the language of India. You will taste the difference.

Keep your motivation high steadily.

With high motivation, you will feel enjoy (do not feel Forced) to spend time for hours to read or memorize grammar, a dictionary, and practice English. If you feel bored quickly, that means you do not have enough motivation high. If my first, just an example, motivation is very high because I want to free school abroad. Then, what motivated you learn English?

Because the English language is very complex, of course, takes time to learn. Many of our friends give up in the middle of the road because of less sabaran, too want to ARRIVE at the finish line in a short time. My advice, do not be too ambisious to touch the finish line in a very short time. This will create a foundation other than the grammar you're not strong, but also can break your motivation. Rileks course, sooner or later you will ARRIVE there.

Use good learning media that fit you.

Learn the appropriate media depending on the character and lifestyle there. Media that are appropriate for other people not necessarily right for you, as well as vice versa. Next is the media that you can try:

1. Do not use the dictionary only contain the word meaning only (ie can be =, month = month, = plough plow, ect). Why? Sentence-sentence because you make a wrong. Try to note the following example 3, the likely result of such a dictionary:

* You must do (you should be)
* The month goes round the earth (earth orbit month)
* Three people ploughed the Airplane (three people hijack the plane).

2. If you like to listen to songs west then keep doing so, and if you can not nangkap its lirycs, search the internet. Here are the benefits of listening to songs in English:

* Can improve your listening skills.
* Be able to know how a certain word is pronounced.
* Can help you build vocabs, because the words in the song longer cling in your memory (especially the song-love theme song).
* Can help remembering patterns tertetu sentence. For example, songs from the Corrs, entitled "What can I do" you can make a reference about the use of capital can in a sentence; pattern of what you get from "It must've been love" by Rosette this?
* When you bersedandung in the small bathroom, you practice speaking, form a pattern, etc. ..

3. If you like watching DVDs, then watch DVD movies. Sub-title of the DVD movies will help you how particular words be vocalized. Select the most good movies you so you do not feel bored for mutarnya again.

4. Use the chat, email, or whatever that uses English.

5. Visit http://swarabhaskara.byethost11.com. Blog contains grammar written in bilangual.

Practice makes perfect.

Can be as usual, the moment diligent in the broad sense, to do ordinary course, not only dream of doing (dreaming). If you are shy to practice by speaking, so listen, or reading. Among them that you are still shy, so please practice by writing. This solution and a wide right. Stop Dreaming Start Action in English is a must.
