SPEECH

Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

Your honorable to all of the judges

Your Excellency to all of the audience

Hello I’m Anastasya Febi from SMA1 Sooko Mojokerto.

Ladies And Gentleman we all know

Indonesia is a beautiful country, it has so many natural and cultural wealth.


Culture it self is the customs, arts, and achievements of a particular nation,
people, or other social group. Actually, there are more than 100 cultures in
Indonesia. Like traditional dance, traditional songs, Batak Ethnic, Wayang,
Batik etc. But unfortunately, young generation now a day is living in a
globalization era. They don’t have any interest with their own culture. They
believe that this world is border-less and we can access any information, talk
with anybody without a limitation. And because of this globalization era too,
the young generation now a day is having a mind set about “International
Scale” anything they do is all about western thing. They behave like a western
style, they like break dance, R&B, hip hop song more than their own songs.

And young generation nowadays tend to use English or Korean and other
language more in social media because they thing that Indonesia language is
old-fashioned. And also, teenager nowadays is using internet and social
media such as YouTube, Twitter or Instagram to see about the western or
other foreign culture like break dance, street dance and etc. They don’t want
to learn traditional or sing traditional dance because they think those are not
trendy, right?

So, ladies and gentlemen I’m standing here to tell you all, how important
culture awareness is.  Why do I say like that? Because if not us, the
teenagers, the young generation that take care our culture, then who else will
do it? Do we going to let our culture extinct? Of course, no. We don’t want to
let that thing happen, right?

Brother and sister.

First culture awareness is important for us because our culture shows about
characteristic of our country. For example, that people see about Reog
Ponorogo and batik dance they will recognize our country.

Culture awareness is important for business thing, right? International


businesses should always handle overseas dealings with cultural sensitivity to
avoid offence to foreign business colleagues, clients or suppliers. Being
culturally aware will also avoid the expense of miscommunications and will
allow your business to handle international relations with respect and
understanding, resulting in effective cross-cultural management and
successful business dealings.

So, Dear happy audience because of that important we have to save our
culture. Here I want to tell you all the way we can improve the culture
awareness for young generation.
First is proud to be Indonesian. We don’t have to be ashamed to be a part of
Indonesian. Instead of just learn about foreign skill we can to increase our
Indonesian language more and trend it. For example, if we make a hashtag on
twitter like #IndonesianLanguageDay or #MyLocalLanguage. We can also
attract other people to know about it and join it.

Second is to make the teenager nowadays love our dance and music. We
have to make them realize that our music and dance is also great and not old-
fashioned. And also, we can create something like mix our culture, mix
between Mayang Rontek dance and another dance and make it more fun.

And the last and the most important thing we have to educate and inform
them about Indonesian culture. Because their careless is due to the fact that
nobody inform them about our culture.

So, ladies and gentlemen don’t be the generation that will destroy our culture.
But let’s be the generation that save our culture. Because if not us, the young
generation, who do it, then who else?

So that’s all from me. Thank you very much.

Nah, itu dia teks Anastasya yang bisa menjuarai National English Festival
(NEF) di UNISMA. Karena Matter atau isi teks kalian akan sangat
berpengaruh ke dalam penilaian suatu Speech Competition, selain itu
pembawaan pidato yang lantang dan tegas juga dapat memberi kalian nilai
plus, loh! Jadi, jangan terlalu mengaharapkan segala sesuatu yang kalian
inginkan akan berjalan sesuai ekspektasi, karena tanpa usaha dan work hard
dengan tanpa disertai doa, hasil nya pun tak akan maksimal dan mungkin
saja bisa mengecewakan.

Ingat jargon English Tribe aja, Do The Best, Don’t Feel The Best!
