contoh essay dalam bahasa inggris


English is difficult lesson for some students in Indonesia. It is because English has totally different vocabulary and pronunciation from Indonesian language. Actually, there are several ways to learn English easily. One of the ways is by watching English movies. In fact, there are several advantages of watching English movies in increasing English skills for students such as increasing vocabulary, pronunciation, and listening skills.

The first advantage of watching English movies for students is improving the ability of students in vocabulary skill. It is because English movies in Indonesia usually have subtitles in Indonesian language. Firstly, students stand a chance of hearing all the vocabulary students know. When the students do not understand meaning of one word, students can see the meaning in the subtitle. As the result, the familiarly used words category in student’s brain will increase. 

The second advantage that students will get by watching English movies is students will be better in pronouncing words in English.  It is because when watching an English movie, students will hear the true pronunciation of a word from actors or actress. After hearing the true pronunciation of a word, students can practice by imitating the spoken of actors or actress. From that, students can improve their ability in pronunciation. 

When watching English movies students usually will hear the actors and actress spoken English in different accent, tone, and style. It means students can be stumped by someone saying the same things, but with a different accent, or tone. It is the third advantage of watching English movies for students. On English movies, students get to hear a huge variety of regional accents, which after a time, almost automatically raises student’s ability to comprehend language when it is spoken by someone whose accent is unfamiliar. With the result, student will be better in listening skills.

In simple terms, by watching English movies, students will remember the words more easily and thus be able to recognize it when it is spoken and probably be able to use it correctly too. It means it can help students in increasing their ability in vocabulary, pronunciation and listening skills so students will be better in their English lesson.

speech in english

Good morning ladies and gentlemen…

Before I deliver my speech, I would like to show you some of pictures and I’m sure you all ever saw these portraits in your environment.

Ladies and gentlemen…

As we know, rubbish, especially for kind of rubbish like plastic is still being the big problem, not only for our country but also for every country in this world.

It is predicted, 500 million plastics are used in the world every year. If this plastic is spread, it can wrap the earth's surface by at least 10 times! Try to imagine..!! It is so fantastic. And do you know? Every year, about 500 billion – 1 quintillion plastic bags are used in every country. It is predicted every people uses 170 plastic bags in a year. More than 17 billion plastics are shared freely by supermarkets in every world every year.

It took 1000 years for plastics to break down the soil decomposed or broken down completely. This is a very long time. When broken down, the plastic particles will contaminate soil and groundwater.

When burned, plastics garbage will produce toxic fumes which are hazardous to health if not perfect combustion process; the plastic will break down in the air as dioxins. This compound is very dangerous when inhaled human. The impact of other triggers for cancer, hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, nervous system disorders and triggers depression. Plastic bags also cause flooding, because clogged drains.

So, how to solve this problem?

BYOB = bring your own bag

That was one slogan of the existing trend in the world. We can begin to reduce our plastics rubbish by replacing it.

  1. Do not use plastic bags for shopping. Bring your own shopping bags that can always be used again.
  2. Do not immediately discard plastic bottles after drinking. Fill the water again and put back, although not too many refills. Approximately 5 times disposable still okay.
  3. It is better for us to buy a bottle to drink so you can always be refilled and not have to buy another bottle of mineral water.
  4. If you intend to buy food at the restaurant or cafe, you'd better bring your own lunch box, so you do not need wrapped it in plastic.

Most of countries in this world ware doing this program. How with us in Indonesia? Do we have to feel ashamed for carrying our own shopping bags? Do we afraid of being seen and laughed at? Instead we must laugh at those who do not understand the importance of environment and lack of awareness to reduce rubbish.

Lets together we reduce our plastic rubbish.

Think smartly, life healthy…!!!
