CONTOH PIDATO BAHASA INGGRIS

Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb.

The honorable Mr / Mrs….

The respectable all of my friends

Before I am going to deliver my speech I hope all audiences to thank our God Allah SWT for He has bestowed us abundant mercies, so, due to these we are able to attend this peaceful meeting.

Furthermore, we, specially send our peace and salutation to our prophet Muhammad SAW, His messenger and His servant.

And I thank Mr / Mrs.... who has provided me time to speak today.

You know, after food, cigarettes account for the second-largest household expenditure in the South-East Asian country of 240 million people, nearly half of whom still live on less than $US2 ($1.90) a day. But there is no minimum age for buying or smoking cigarettes.

That’s why I do sympathize with a kid who smokes two packs a day name’s Ilham. His father said that Ilham started smoking when he was four years old and his smoking habit grew day by day and now he can finish smoking two packs of cigarettes a day. The boy, who lives in a village in West Java provincial district of Sukabumi, would flare up in a rage and break glass windows or anything if he was not given cigarettes. He doesn't want to go to school anymore and he spends his whole day smoking and playing.

As a kid he is not supposed to be like that, he really need some supports and guadiance from his parent. All he has to do is just playing and absolutely studying.

Indonesia's Child Protection Commission chairman Arist Merdeka Sirait said "The growing number of smokers are a result of the industry's aggressive marketing targeting young people."

According to the World Health Organisation, smoking rates have risen sixfold in Indonesia over the past 40 years. Smoking kills at least 400,000 people in Indonesia every year and another 25,000 die from passive smoking.

I think that’s all my speech, forgive me if I’m having many mistakes. Finally I say…

Wassalamualaikum wr. wb
