English Speech


Title :  Is important to learn English?
Assalamualaikum, wr. wb.

Firstly, I would like to say thank you very much for the MC, juries all teachers and all my friends who have given me opportunity to deliver this English speech.

Before I begin to give a speech, I would like to invite you to thank to Allah the Almighty, Who has given us Mercy and Blessing, so we can meet together in this blessing place. And also I don't forget to deliver sholawat and salam to our prophet Muhammad SAW, Who has brought us from the darkness to the brightness, so we are always in the right way.
There are varieties of reason and opinion will appears when we hear the question “ is important to learn English”?
Some people says that “important to learn English” but some people says that learning English is less important, ok, my friends what’s your opinion about it?
On this opportunity, I would like to deliver a speech entitle "Is the Important to Learn English?"
Ladies and Gentlemen
Begin with the question about "is important to learn English?" How important do you think English to learn? We all know that English is one of some international languages that widely used in many countries except Arabic, Chinese, and French. English is a language that comes from United Kingdom (UK) and then spread through colonization until Americas which then English was used there. English became the language that widely used today.
English is a language that has a special position in 75 countries and is used in more than 100 countries. English also is used the international language for business, sports, academics, science, technology, advertising and diplomatic.
Shall we ask "Is that important to learn English?"
Many people in this country do not agree about the importance of learning English which is accompanied by their variety of reasons and opinions.
They argumentations:
Why do we have to learn English? If we still have our own language, Indonesian, that is used as our national and unifying language of our country.
Why do we have to learn English? If we still have of traditional languages which we should preserve them together.
However, we live in this world is not free from the dependency of everything one country to others. From the dependency, we certainly need a unifying language between different countries with different languages.
So, English is a language that must be learned from elementary school up to senior high school in order the students have an international outlook which of course will determine the future of our beloved country, Indonesia.
I think that all my speech, I hope my speech on “is important to learn English” will be useful for us. Finally, I would like to say sorry if there are mistakes in my speech words. Thank you very much for your attentions.
Wassalamualaikum wr wb.


Title : National Education Day (HARDIKNAS)
Firstly, I would like to say thank you very much for the MC, juries all teachers and all my friends who have given me opportunity to deliver this English speech.

It is a great honor for me to stand here and give a brief speech entitled “National Education Day (HARDIKNAS)
To begin this speech, I would ask you two things about our education. What happen with our education?  Is our education well enough or bad enough if we compare with other country?
If you have ever heard about the news last year about our international education rank, you would be surprised. As quoted form Education for All (EFA) Global Monitoring Report 2011 which is published by UNESCO and launched in New York on Sunday, 1/3/2011, our international education rank is at 69th place from 129 surveyed countries all over the world. This rank is lower than in 2010.
It opens a question that runs in my head, what happen with our education? Indonesia is a great country with many talented young generations. There are so many Indonesian students who win the international education Olympiads such as mathematics, chemical, physics and other. But why our international education rank is still low. So what happen with our education? 

Our government also made an effort to improve our educational standard by improving the teachers' quality with a program which well known as "Sertifikasi". But why our education ranks never change. So what happen with our education?

But sooner I realize one thing. Our education rank depends on us. Good or bad the education of the countries depends on their students.
If we want to change our bad educational paradigm, lets begin with change our perspective with the terms of education itself by keep trying, keep studying, keep innovating, keep inventing for sake of our education.
I think that all my speech, I hope my speech on This National Education Day or HARDIKNAS. will be useful for us. Finally, I would like to say sorry if there are mistakes in my speech words

Thank you very much for your attentions.
Wassalamualaikum wr wb.

Countable nouns adalah kata benda yang dapat dihitung, yang dapat menunjukkan kuantitas atau jumlah, contohnya kata benda pen dapat dihitung one, two, atau three pens.

Contoh kata benda yang dapat dihitung: cat, dog, man, baby, person, animal, bottle, box, coin, cup, plate, table, chair, bag, glass, book, house, etc. Benda-benda yang ada di sekitar kita umumnya adalah benda yang dapat dihitung.

Contoh countable nouns dalam kalimat:
- We could see a ship in the distance.
- I have to brothers, John and Mark.
- I've got a problem with the car.
- Do you like these photos?
- I'm going out for five minutes.

Uncountable nouns (disebut juga mass nouns) adalah kebalikan dari countable nouns, yaitu kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung, contohnya kata benda water. Kata benda tersebut tidak bisa dikatakan a water atau two water, tetapi lebih tepat digunakan bersama dengan kata benda lainnya yang dapat dihitung, misalnya a glass of water atau two glass of water.

Contoh kata benda yang tidak dapat dihitung: sand, air, rice, sugar, cheese, tea, coffee, advice, assistance, fun, money, music, art, love, etc.

Contoh uncountable nouns dalam kalimat:
- Can I have some water?
- Shall we sit on the grass?
- The money is much better in my new job.
- I love music.
- Would you like some coffee?

Perhatikan beberapa catatan mengenai countable dan uncountable nouns di bawah ini.

Much dan many yang sama-sama berarti banyak, biasa digunakan untuk menyatakan jumlah pada countable dan uncountable nouns. Many digunakan untuk countable nouns dan terletak mendahuluinya, sedangkan much digunakan untuk uncountable nouns.

Contoh:
- How many years have you lived in Surabaya?
- She didn’t have much fun at the Tunjungan Plaza.
- I haven't got many pens.
- I haven't got much rice.

Number dan amount mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu jumlah atau sejumlah. Number digunakan untuk countable nouns, sedangkan amount untuk uncountable nouns.

Contoh:
- My teacher gives me a large number of assignments.
- My teacher gives me a large amount of homework.
- We have been friends for a number of years.
-They give us an amount of money.

Few dan little mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu sedikit. Few digunakan untuk countable nouns, sedangkan little digunakan untuk uncountable nouns.

Contoh:
- The party has attended by a few men.
- There is only a little milk on the table.
- I've got a few dollars.
- I've got a little money.
- Few people understand the difference.

Fewer dan less mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu sedikit. Fewer digunakan untuk countable nouns, sedangkan less digunakan untuk uncountable nouns.

Contoh:
- This kind of job will give you fewer dollars.
- He pays me less money than I thought.
- Fewer birds came this year.
- Doctors recommend eating less salt.

Some dan any mempunyai arti yang sama yaitu beberapa, biasa digunakan untuk menyatakan jumlah tak tentu pada countable nouns (plural) atau uncountable nouns.

Contoh:
- I've got some money.
- Have you got any rice?
- I've got some dollars.
- Have you got any pens?


Countable nouns dapat berbentuk singular maupun plural.
- My cat is playing.
- My cats are hungry.

Countable nouns yang singular dapat didahului dengan kata this, that, every, each, either, dan neither, sedangkan yang plural biasanya didahului kata these, those, some, any, enough, dan zero article. Lihat juga catatan dan contoh di atas.

Umumnya, uncountable nouns tidak dapat dibuat menjadi plural, kecuali jika disertai oleh jenis kata lainnya.
- There are new wines being introduced every day.
- The waters of the Atlantic are much warmer this time of year.
- The Dutch are famous for their cheeses.

Countable nouns dapat diawali oleh a, an (indefinite article) untuk singular dan the (definite article) untuk singular maupun plural.

Jika countable nouns berbentuk singular, maka penggunaan kata seperti a, an, the, my, this, dsb. harus digunakan.
- I want an orange. (tidak bisa dikatakan I want orange.)
- Where is my bottle? (tidak bisa dikatakan Where is bottle?)

Tetapi, jika countable nouns berbentuk plural, maka kata benda itu dapat berdiri sendiri:
- I like oranges.
- Bottles can break.

Terkadang uncountable nouns diperlakukan singular yang akhirnya juga menggunakan verba singular.
- This news is very important.
- Your luggage looks heavy.

Indefinite article a, an tidak umum dipakai pada uncountable nouns.
- a piece of news (bukan a news)
- a bottle of water (bukan a water)
- a grain of rice (bukan a rice)

Jadi, harus diberi kata keterangan di depannya. Perhatikan contoh lainnya berikut ini.
- There has been a lot of research into the causes of this disease.
- He gave me a great deal of advice before my interview.
- They've got a lot of furniture.
- Can you give me some information about uncountable nouns?

Uncountable nouns juga sering digunakan tanpa article (zero article)
- Poetry is beautiful.
- Sugar is sweet.
- Experience is the best teacher.

Uncountable nouns dapat didahului dengan kata some, any, enough, this, that, dan much. Dan karena bukan countable nouns maka tidak dapat didahului dengan kata these, those, every, each, either, and neither. Lihat lagi catatan dan contoh di atas.

Merupakan hal yang penting untuk mengetahui apakah suatu kata benda itu termasuk dalam countable nouns atau uncountable nouns. Hal ini akan memudahkan kita untuk mengenali jenis kata apa saja yang dapat diletakkan di sekitarnya.

Comparison
Mari kita lihat contoh-contoh dibawah ini
Lets go by car its cheaper
Degrees of Comparison are used when we compare one person or one thing with another.
DedRees of CompaRison

     Sebagaian besar kata sifat diskriptif (descriptive adjectives) dan kata sifat kuantitatif (quantitative adjective) memiliki tingkat-tingkat perbandingan yang menerangkan kata benda.
 Dalam bahasa Inggris tingkat-tingkat perbandingan pada kata sifat disebut the degrees of comparison (tingkat perbandingan)

The degrees of comparison (tingkat perbandingan) berjumlah tiga tingkat, yaitu :

1. The positive degree (tingkat biasa)
2. The comparative (tingkat lebih/perbandingan)
3. The superlative (tingkat paling)

      Bentuk perbandingan dibuat dari bentuk positive yang ditambah dengan akhiran –er atau –r dan awalan more. Sedangkan bentuk superlative dibentuk dari bentuk positive yang ditambah dengan akhiran –est atau –st dan awalan most.
 Positive         Comparative          Superlative
Good                        Better                         Best
Beautiful       More Beautiful        Most Beautiful
Big                  Bigger                        Biggest
Tall                  Taller                          Tallest
Sincere          More Sincere           Most Sincere
Small              Smaller                      Smallest

 


1. The positive degree (tingkat biasa)
• She is an attractive girl
When we speak about only one person or thing,We use the Positive degree.
example :
 • This house is big.
 In this sentence only one noun “The house” is talked about.
• He is a tall student.
 • He is an intelligent boy.
 Each sentence mentioned above talks about only one noun.


2. The comparative (tingkat lebih/perbandingan)
    Pada umumnya bentuk tingkat lebih ini digunakan untuk membandingkan dua benda atau orang yang berbeda. Atau dengan kata lain digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa susuatu benda atau orang itu mempunyai sifat lebih dibandingkan yang lain.
 • My car is faster than his car
When we compare two persons or two things with each other,We use both the Positive degree and Comparative degree.
example:
A. This house is bigger than that one. (Comparative degree)
      This house is not as big as that one. (Positive degree)
      The term “bigger” is comparative version of the term “big”.
      Both these sentences convey the same meaning.
B. This flower is more beautiful than that. (Comparative)
      This flower is not as beautiful as that. (Positive)
      The term “more beautiful” is comparative version of the term “beautiful”.
      Both these sentences convey the same meaning.
C  He is more intelligent than this boy. (Comparative)
      He is not as intelligent as this boy. (Positive)
      The term “more intelligent” is comparative version of the term “intelligent”.
      Both these sentences convey the same meaning.
3. The superlative (tingkat paling)
     Bentuk ini digunakan untuk menyatakan bahwa sesuatu itu mempunyai sifat paling ...... dibandingkan yang lainnya. Pada umumnya digunakan untuk membandingkan tiga benda atau lebih.
• This is the fastest car in the rally.
 • Elvis Presley is the greatest musician in the world
 When we compare more than two persons or things with one another,We use all the three Positive,    Comparative and Superlative degrees.
 example :
 A. This is the biggest house in this street. (Superlative)
      This house is bigger than any other house in this street. (Comparative)
      No other house in this street is as big as this one. (Positive)
      The term “biggest” is the superlative version of the term “big”.
     All the three sentences mean the same meaning.
B. This flower is the most beautiful one in this garden. (Superlative)
      This flower is more beautiful than any other flower in this garden. (Comparative)
      No other flower in this garden is as beautiful as this one. (Comparative)
      The term “most beautiful” is the superlative version of the term “beautiful”.
      All the three sentences mean the same meaning.
 C. He is the most intelligent in this class. (Superlative)
      He is more intelligent than other boys in the class. (Comparative)
      No other boy is as intelligent as this boy. (Positive)
      The term “most intelligent” is superlative version of the term “intelligent”.
      Both these sentences convey the same meaning.
 D. He is the tallest student in this class. (Superlative)
      He is taller than other students in this class. (Comparative)
      No other student is as tall as this student. (Positive)
      The term “tallest” is superlative version of the term “tall”.
      Both these sentences convey the same meaning.










PASSIVE VOICE

  Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or not known, however, who or what is performing the action. 
      A passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence.

 Example: My bike was stolen.

 When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence
the finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)
the subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or is dropped)

PARTS OF SPEECH

 A. DEFINISI PARTS OF SPEECH
 Parts of Speech dalam bahasa Inggris berarti jenis-jenis kata atau kelas-kelas kata.
 Disebut parts of speech – bagian-bagian dari ucapan atau bagian-bagian kalimat (ingat, pada dasarnya kalimat dalam bahasa adalah kalimat yang diucapkan, bukan dituliskan) – karena kata-kata ini merupakan suatu sistem yang diperlukan untuk membentuk sebuah kalimat, tanpa melihat apa tugas atau fungsinya masing-masing. Jadi, kata-kata itu merupakan “bahan dasar” di dalam sebuah “bangunan” kalimat, bukan “fungsi” kata di dalam kalimat. Mengapa demikian? Karena sebuah kata bisa mempunyai beberapa (lebih dari satu) fungsi dalam kalimat.
 Secara lengkap, ada 9 jenis kata atau kelas kata dalam bahasa Inggris, yaitu:

NO JENIS KATA KETERANGAN
 1 Verb Verba atau kata kerja (misalnya: be, have, do, like, work, sing, can, must)
 2 Noun Nomina atau kata benda (misalnya: pen, dog, work, music, town, London, teacher, John)
 3 Adjective Adjectiva atau kata sifat (misalnya: good, big, red, well, interesting)
 4 Adverb Adverbia atau kata keterangan (misalnya: quickly, silently, well, badly, very, really)
 5 Pronoun Pronomina atau kata ganti (misalnya: I, you, he, she, someone)
 6 Preposition Preposisi atau kata depan (misalnya: to, at, after, on, but)
 7 Conjunction Konjungsi kata hubung atau kata sambung (misalnya: and, but, when)
 8 Interjection Interjeksi atau kata seru (misalnya: oh!, , hi!, ,ouch! well! )
 9 Determiner Determiner atau kata pembatas atau kata sandang (misalnya: a, an, the, this, that, these, those, 78, some, any)
