Naskah Pidato Bahasa Inggris tentang Pendidikan

Bahasa Inggris

Assalamualaikum wr wb.

With all due respect to the honorable judges representing, to all of the teachers here attending, and to all of the audiences, ladies and gentlemen, good morning everyone!

First of all, let us thank Allah SWT which because of His blessings, we all can gather here on this event.

Shalawat and prayer we will say to our greatest prophet, Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends, and all of his followers. Amen!

In this opportunity, I would like to tell you my speech about education.

The growing quantity of school age children and a large fast growing of each education graduates, were not followed by the enough and fast addition of infrastructure and education facilities. It causes problems for the government to provide "education and teaching" for all citizens as mandated by Basic State Law.

This issue is crucial because we have the various levels of social-economic-cultural differences. Then for the first time, the application of Repelita (rencana pembangunan lima tahun or five years development planning) with emphasis on economic development is seen as the foundation for other aspects of national development. In education reform focused attention on efforts to repair and increase the quality of regulation and the opportunity to education.

Concerning about this, it is so hard to achieve only if we use a conventional way of the technology and communication, information, radio and television. In 2007 the government has set a national budget for education of 20% for primary, junior secondary and senior secondary school. Programs and activities that are not made solely on the basis of growing number of school buildings, teachers, books and others.

We can identify several alternatives, as follows:

1. Adding the capacity of high school that applied together with the addition of new schools.

2. Increasing the capacity of private schools.

3. Development of open schools with the media of correspondence, modules, radio broadcasting, television and others.

4. The establishment of the practical skills courses outside of school for society.

Ki Hajar Dewantara (1889-1959) was an educational figure who established education institution in the Taman Siswa. He was familiar with the philosophy of "tut wuri handayani, hing madya mangun karsa, hing ngarso sung tulada".

Dewantara classify education goal with the term of "tri-nga" (three “nga”, as “nga” is the last letter in the Javanese alphabet).

The first "Nga" is "ngerti"(understanding or intellectual aspects),

The second "Nga" is "ngrasa" (experiencing or affection aspects),

And the third "nga" is "nglakoni" (or aspects of teaching psychomotoric).

Formulate educational goals that include aspects of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. According to Dewantara, it is the right of each person to set himself, therefore teaching must educate children to become independent in mind, thought and energy. Teaching should not only focus on intellectual mind because it can separate the educated people with others.

Finally, I hope the Indonesian people to improve and achieve more and create child-students more productive, creative, innovative and useful for the nation and country, creating high quality human resources that can be independent and meet the needs of universe.

Bahasa Indonesia

Pertambahan anak umur sekolah yang cepat dan pertambahan lulusan tiap jenjang pendidikan yang besar, tapi tidak diikuti penambahan prasarana dan sarana pendidikan yang cepat dan memadai, menimbulkan masalah bagi pemerintah untuk memberikan “pendidikan dan pengajaran” pada semua warga Negara sebagaimana diamanatkan oleh undang- undang Dasar.
Persoalan ini krusial mengingat beragamanya geografis nusantara yang luas dan terpencar dengan tingkat perkembangan sosial-ekonomi-kultural berbeda. Ketika itu untuk pertama kali pelaksanakan REPELITA dengan tekanan pada pembangunan ekonomi yang dipandang sebagai landasan bagi aspek- aspek lain dari pembangunan nasional. Dalam pembaruan pendidikan perhatian difokuskan pada upaya-upaya perbaikan dan peningkatan kualitas serta penataan kesempatan mendapat pendidikan. Mengenai yang terakhir ini sulitlah dicapai bila hanya melalui cara-cara konvesial yaitu memanfaatkan teknologi komunikasi dan teknologi ,informasi radio dan televisi. Pada tahun 2007 pemerintah telah menetapkan APBN untuk pendidikan sebesar 20% bagi SD, SLTP dan SLTA. Program dan kegiatan yang dilakukan tidak semata-mata atas dasar pertambahan jumlah gedung sekolah, guru, buku dan lain-lain.


Alternatif yang didentifikasikan adalah :

1. Penambahan daya tampung SLP yang dilakukan baik dengan penambahan sekolah baru
2. Peningkatan daya tampung sekolah- sekolah swasta
3. Pengembangan sekolah terbuka dengan media korespodensi, modul, siaran radio, siaran televisi dan lain-lain
4. Pembukaan kursus- kursus ketrampilan praktis diluar sekolah sebagai jalur penyaluran kemasyarkat..

Ki Hajar Dewantara (1889-1959) seorang tokoh pendidikan Indonesia yang memprokarsai berdirinya lembaga pendidikan Taman siswa. Dia lebih terkenal dengan filsafat” tut wuri handayani, hing madya mangun karsa, hing ngarso sung tulada. Dewantara mengklasifikasikan tujuan pandidikan dengan istilah “ tri-nga”(tiga “nga-nga adalah huruf terakhir dalam abjad jawa ajisak). “Nga” pertama adalah ngerti” (memahami /aspek intelektual). “Nga kedua” adalah “ngrasa” adalah (merasakan aspek afeksi), dan “nga” ketiga adalah “nglakonin” (mengajarkan atau aspek psikomotorik). Merumuskan tujuan pendidikan yang meliputi aspek kognitif, afektif, dan psikomotor. Menurut Dewantara, adalah hak tiap orang untuk mengatur diri sendiri, oleh karena itu pengajaran harus mendidik anak menjadi manusia yang merdeka batin, pikiran, dan tenaga. Pengajaran jangan terlampau mengutamakan kecerdasan pikiran karena hal itu dapat memisahkan orang tepelajar dengan rakyat.
Akhir sampai disini, semoga bangsa Indonesia lebih meningkatkan dan mencerdaskan serta menciptakan anak-anak didik yang produktif, kreatif, dan inovatif yang berguna bagi bangsa dan Negara, Menciptakan sumberdaya manusia yang berkualitas dan mandiri yang dapat memenuhi kebutuhan global

The Lucky Envelope

A golden envelope fell through the letter box. On the front it said, “You’ve Won!”
“Open it!” shouted Mum, Dalia and Ahmed. Dad opened it. They had won a free holiday.
“I hope it’s to the seaside,” said Dalia. “I can swim and make sand castle.”
“No, I hope it’s a camping holiday,” said Dad. “I can sleep in a tent and get lots of fresh air.”
“No, I’d like to go on a cruise,” said Ahmed. “I can watch dolphins and eat lots of nice food.”
“Well, I’d like to go to a big city,” said Mum. “I can go shopping and go to the theatre.”
Then they started to argue. They couldn’t decide. Beach! Camping! Cruise! City!
They argued until it was dark. Then the phone rang. Dalia answered it.
“Hello this is Lucky Holidays. You’ve won a holiday to sunny Alexandria.”
“That’s where my grandma lives.”
“This is Grandma!”
“Oh Grandma, You tricked us!”
“You are all invited to spend your summer holiday with me.”
They packed their suitcases and spent two fun weeks at Grandma’s.
Ahmed got his nice food, Dad got his fresh air, Mum went shopping and Dalia swam in the sea.
Everyone was happy.

The Lucky Seed

A long time ago, a farmer took a big bag of seeds to sell at the market.
Suddenly, his cart’s wheel hit a big stone. Bump! One of the seeds fell out of the bag, and onto the hot, dry ground.
“I’m scared,” said the seed. “I need to be safe under the soil.” Just then a buffalo walked on the seed and pushed it into the ground.
“I’m thirsty,” said the seed. “I need some water to help me grow.” Just then it started to rain.
The next morning the seed had a little green shoot. All day it sat in the sun and grew taller and taller.
The next day, it has its first leaf. This helped it to catch sunlight and grow.
That evening a hungry bird tried to eat it. But the seed had roots to help it stay in the ground.
Many years of sunshine and rain passed. The seed became a plant, and then the plant became a tree.
Today if you visit the countryside you can see the tree. It is big and strong and now makes seeds of its own.

1. How come that the seed fell from the farmer’s cart?
………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………….…
2. Why the seed was scared when it fell off of the cart?

10.45 it is quarter to eleven
07.10 it is ten past seven
06.50 it is ten to seven

2. I’ll pick you up at nine forty five, if you don’t mind. :
3. She arrived here at twelve past ten, while you were gone. :
4. No wonder he’s late, he woke up at quarter to seven. :
5. I guess, I cannot come at half past three. It’s because I have to pick up my wife first. :
6. I’ll see you tomorrow at quarter past five. Don’t forget to bring your sport shoes! :
7. Don’t worry, she’s on the way. However, it’s just twenty past nine, right? :
8. I have got to pick my wife at four, and I will call you then. :
9. Sometimes, the driver can’t come at seven, because there’s always a traffic jam. :
10. I wonder why we must pick them at seven, because we always wait for them to dress :
up.

Read these sentences:
It’s just eleven o’clock. It’s still early.
It’s almost twelve o’clock. It’s late.
I always pick her up at four thirty.
I never get up before eight on Sundays.
Do you usually eat breakfast?


Read this passage.
‘What are you doing?’ my landlord asked.
‘I’m leaving, Mr. Han,’ I answered.
‘Why are you leaving?’ she asked. ‘You have been here only a week.’
‘A week too long, Mr. Han,’ I said. ‘There are too many rules in this boarding house. My old friends never come to visit me. Dinner is always at six o’clock, so I frequently went to bed hungry. You don’t like noise, so I rarely listen to the radio. The fan doesn’t work, so I always feel hot. This is a terrible place for a boy like me. Goodbye, Sir.’

Note the position of the words in italics in these sentences:
I frequently go to bed hungry.
I rarely listen to the radio.
I always feel hot.
I never get up early on Sundays.
I sometimes stay in bed until lunch time.

pre-verb adverbs (frequency) are:
often, seldom, rarely, ever, never, always, sometimes, generally, usually, just, almost, nearly, quite, hardly, scarcely.

Usually, we use those adverbs to answer the question ‘How often?’.
So, where should we put them in a sentence?
We place them right before the verb of the sentence.

(Nowadays, ‘never’ is commonly used merely as a reinforced form of ‘not’. Ex: you need never call me as sir, just call me my name.)
