Indonesia is experiencing a severe smoke emergency due to widespread fires, particularly on the islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan. The fires were intentionally set to clear land for palm oil plantations but dry conditions have caused the fires to spread out of control. Over 27 million people are at risk of respiratory issues due to thick smoke that has blanketed Sumatra for days. The Indonesian president has instructed agencies to revoke permits of companies involved in burning forests and to arrest those responsible. While the problem cannot be solved quickly, the president insists Indonesia is taking great steps to address it and hopes to have it solved within three years.

Secondly I would like to say thank you very much for the jury that has given me chance to give my speech. And in this good opportunity, I would like to introduce myself, my name is Rima Yunike. You can call me Rima and Im fifth semester. Today, I will deliver my speech with the title Indonesia smoke emergency Ladies and gentlemen Indonesia is the worlds largest producer of palm oil and fires are frequently intentionally lit to clear the land with the resulting haze, but this year a prolonged dry season and the impact have made situation far worse. The fires have caused the air to turn a toxic sepia color in the worst hit areas of Sumatra and Kalimantan, where levels of the Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) have pushed toward 2.000, anything above 300 is considered hazardous. Ladies and gentlemen Almost 27 million people are at serious risk for respiratory problems in Sumatera because of the dense smoke that has blanketed the island for days. The polluting haze is due to bush fires that cannot be easily extinguished because of prolonged drought conditions. President Joko Widodo has instructed government agencies to revoke the permits of any palm oil companies involved in the burning of forests and urged the arrest of those responsible. While Jokowi conceded in September 2015 that the recurrent haze was "not a problem that you can solve quickly", he insisted that Indonesia had "gone to great lengths" to tackle the problem, and declared: "You will see results soon and in three years we will have solved this" In addition, the existence of love the homeland should keep well. We can do with the small everyday actions such as maintaining the cleanliness of the environment around us.
