contoh teks pidato bahasa inggris tentang kemiskinan (poverty)
Assalamualaikum Wr.Wb
Good morning Ladies and gentlemen. My name is Ertia Nursanti
, I am a student and now studying at SMA Negeri 13 Surabaya. In this great
occasion, I would like to talk about Poverty which is becoming one of the
biggest world’s problem.
Have you ever thought about what it’s like to not have any
food? I am sure that most people do not
have to worry about being hungry everyday. Just so you know, by the time you
listen to my speech, there will have been millions people that are starving in
the world. By the time you begin lunch, someone, somewhere in the world will
have died because of not having food.
I am standing here because i want to prevent that from happening. And I’m going to
need your help.
Ladies and gentlemen, There are currently 925 million people
live below the poverty line today. Poverty.
Poverty is hunger. Poverty is lack of
shelter. Poverty is being sick and not being able to see a doctor. Poverty is
not being able to go to school, not knowing how to read, not being able to
speak properly. Poverty is not having a job, fear for the future and living one
day at a time. Poverty is powerlessness, poverty is lack of freedom. Unfortunately, poverty is often an
invisible problem.
Ladies and gentlemen, we must have known that poverty has
become the most critical economic issue in our country. Those Luxury buildings
in the big cities like Jakarta and surabaya cannot give us the real picture of
Indonesia. We have to open our eyes that one part of the real indonesia is.....Our
brothers and sisters are out there suffering food crisis.
As we see it, There are so many causes of today’s
poverty. Well, There is no need to talk
about what causes poverty. But the more we understand the main causes of
poverty, the more things we can do to fix it. so, what Actually causes poverty
in Indonesia?
First, Lack of
education. Lack of education relies
to not learning the neccessary skills to succeed in a carreer field. If you
can’t read or do basic math, if you can’t show up for work and apply yourself,
you will not have a job. Lack of education causes unemployment and unemployment
causes poverty. To solve this problem,
the governments and individuals must be aware of it and treat it
seriously. Although this situation can’t
be changed completely, at least it can
be improved.
Second, Rapid
Population Growth. Our
population is growing rapidly. yet our human resources are limited. The growth
in population creates problems for us. For example : Today, our population is
10; tomorrow it will be 100 and so on. We need more food, more houses,
and more hospitals for them. But we have no money to spend on development
projects. The ever-growing rate of population must be checked to fix poverty in indonesia.
Third, Corruption and
black-money. There are corruptions in every walk of life. There is
inefficiency in offices. People have become selfish. They neglect the national
interests. Black money causes the problem of rising prices. Some people may have
all the privileges. But many others are suffering. Black money affects our
economy. It causes poverty. Government needs
to take a serious action to the corruptor or poverty can never be
solved.
Fourth, Gap between
the rich and the poor. The widening gap between the rich and the poor is
also responsible for Indonesia’s poverty. The rich are growing richer. The poor
are growing poorer. This economic gap between the two must be reduced. Our
social system should be changed as one of the solution for the poverty in
indonesia.
Ladies and gentlemen, regarding what I Have said before,
What do you think about it? should we do nothing ? No. We have to Stand
together and face the problem as soon as
possible. Poverty is not a uncontrollably disease, it is not wild fire. It can
be controlled as long as we have a faith that we can controll it. let's start
thinking about what we can do to slowly but surely remove poverty. even if it's
just a small action, Let's take a part to make our country a better place.
So, That’s all my speech thankyou for your attention and
good morning.
Wassalamualaikum Wr.wb
