SPEECH TEXT FOR FINAL EXAMINATION : "APPRECIATE THE DIFFERENT"

Assalamualaikum wr,wb. Which I respect, Miss. Dini as the teacher of the English Course. Which I love, my all friends. First, let's pray and thank unto our god Allah who has been giving us some mercies and blessings so we can attend and gather in this place in good condition and happy situation. Ladies and gentlemen, in this good opportunity, I'm here to deliver a speech with the title "Appreciate the difference".

Ladies and gentlemen, what is "Appreciate the difference"? Appreciate is respect everything results or other people's property. Appreciating everyone is very important in this life. With giving appreciate for others, then they will do the same thing to us. Appreciate the difference should be applied in everyday life especially in our country. Indonesia is a nation that consists of diverse race, ethnicity, language and religion. There are some people who argue that the difference is an obligation because with there are the difference, then we can learn to know each other and have the characteristic of each people to be remembered.

In elementary school the teacher always taught not to impose their will. They teach us to appreciate the difference and life love each other. However, take a look at our country. There are many spreading issues about racial that can disturb the stability of our country. If this problem is ignored by government than our country will be destroyed from inside. To solve this problem, the government must begin fostering the appreciate of the difference between Indonesian's people. Besides that, every parent should teach tolerance to their children. The tolerance is very important if we're facing a difference. With trying to give the tolerance to a problem, then we can avoid the worst situation that can happen.

The end of my speech is that I want to affirm that the difference is not a bad thing. So, we can't ignore other people because of the different and the most important things is don't be easily provoked by racial issues. As the next generation, let us increase the appreciate the difference and make Indonesia towards to a bright future. Thank you.

My Future Business : Study Cafe

I love to read very much. So from junior high school I always want to build a library. I often imagine to spend time in my library and making money from lending books. However, I realized that from lending book can't give a huge profit. So, I try to develop my idea with mix a library with café. The final result from my idea is I want to build a Study Cafe. In this café many students can come to just hang out or finish their assignment in here.

Nowadays, every student needs a place that can make their study comfortably. There are two types of student in study and finish their assignment. The first type, they need to study in group with accompaniment of music or with many activities that can they do (like eat, drink, talking each other, etc.). The second type, they aren't comfortable in crowded places and they need to study in group with quiet place so they can focus to finish their assignment. For this problem, there are two types room in my café. The first one is outside room. In this room, the customer can hang out with their friends and do their assignment. The second room is inside room. The customer can order a room to making their assignment or just study with their friends.

In addition to providing two types of room, I will also provide some facilities to support their study. The facilities are a bar to buy foods or drinks, various type of books, Wi-Fi, toilet, a lot of terminal cable, and classic furniture to make a comfortable atmosphere to study of just to hang out. This is my future business. I hope I can realize it. Thank you.

NO ELECTRICITY NO LIFE

Assalamualaikum, everyone! First, let me apologize to everyone, especially to Miss. Dini because I late to post my writing. I completely forgot about the deadline, when I realize it's already in April. So, I'm really sorry for this. Well, let's back! Today, I will writing about “I can't imagine without electricity”. Why electricity? Because it's a very important things for me!

In the history, there were many scientists that studied about electricity likes Amphere, Faraday, Coloum and Joseph Priestley. However, Michael Faraday was a scientist that made a big contribution in electricity in found electric current. This invention is the beginnings of the other inventions. I can't imagine what if these scientists had never found electricity. There will be no lights that brighten up the world, there will be no telephone to easily communicate, etc.

Nowadays, humans need electricity to do their activity. For examples, you need smartphone to send a message for someone far away, listen to music and playing the game to relieve the stress. You need rice cooker to cooking rise or other simple meals. You need television to entertain yourself. These activities needs devices that must connect to electricity. It means that human life has depended on electricity. We can do all this stuff easily if there are no electricity. That's why an important thing in our life are electricity!

MY SKILL IS MY HAPPINESS

Hi, glad to see you again. Today, I want to tell you about my skill. Honestly, I am not sure about my real skill because I never think that what I do is can be my skill. I think, dance is my skill. I love to dance. I started dancing since in High School. I learn to dance the modern dances. My friends and I have won various competitions at the High School level like Honda DBL Dance Competition, LFP Dance Competition, and the other. Besides attending various competitions, we also fill some events as a guest star. In one event, we paid Rp50.000 until Rp100.000 to each person.

I continue to dance in University, but it is not a modern dance. I learn traditional dances like Dayak Dance, Cina Dance and Melayu Dance. In the University level, I just performed in every event that held by the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Tanjungpura Pontianak. As a college student, I really busy so it hard for me to attend another event or competitions. However, my experiences make me confidence to accept a job from my friends. They asked me to teach a dance to their event. It makes me think that dance was my real skill. In the future, I can be a dance teacher as my side job. Besides that, maybe this skill can be my plus value in my CV to search a job because not everyone can dance, right?
