Good morning,
Your honorary judges, teachers, and my beloved friends.
First of all, let us thank God for this beautiful moment that we could be here together today.
I’m standing here to deliver you a speech about “THE ENCHANTING INDONESIA: DO WE STILL
CARE?”
As all of us know, Our beloved country, Indonesia, has a lot of cultures and languages. The cultures
consist of many different customs, dances, traditional clothes and houses, and many more. The
languages we have from Sabang to Merauke, according to research done by __________________,
are about ____________ languages.
However, the same research shows that by 2015, many native languages in Indonesia have
disappeared. It’s just gone. Many traditional dancing have no longer existed. These parts of
Indonesian cultures seem to be vanished and gone.
So, another question comes up? What should we do? What do we have to do to preserve our
culture?
One of them is what we do today. Tarsisius school has given a true example of preserving our
cultures. Another thing, visiting cultural museum or tourism spots, like TMII, would inspire us of how
rich Indonesia is. Learning the dances is another one. And, practicing our mother’s and father’s
languages. Where are you from? Java? Sunda? Bali? Batak? Kalimantan? Practice your native
language.
Those things; the different languages, the different dances, the different cultures;
YES, the diversity! It shapes our country
YES, the diversity! It forms the strength of our country
YES, the diversity! It unites all of us….Who are we? (audience: INDONESIA!!) 3x
Thank You.
