    17th August Independence Day)

    English

    Good morning and best regards, sir, madam, and my beloved friends. Today on August 17, 2018, our
    country celebrates the 74rd anniversary of Independence Day. Every year on August 17 our country
    celebrates the ceremony to celebrate the Independence Day. August 17th is a day where all the
    Indonesian people rejoice to recall the merits of the heroes who have gained independence for all of us.
    I can’t believe that time flies so fast and our country is growing fast too every year. We are all lucky to be
    assembled today because of the merits of the heroes who have defended our country since decades
    ago. Do you still remember the names of the heroes who helped to release Indonesia from colonialism?
    There are a lot of heroes from every regions in Indonesia who are willing to die for the independence of
    the Indonesian nation. One of them is Bung Karno.

    Do you know who Bung Karno is? Bung Karno is the first president of Indonesia. Bung Karno is the
    important figure in the struggle of the Indonesian people to achieve independency. He was the
    Proclaimer of Indonesian Independence (together with Mohammad Hatta), which occurred on 17
    August 1945. Soekarno was also the first person to introduce the concept of Pancasila as the foundation
    of the Indonesia, and he was the one who named it. Of course Bung Karno assisted by his Indonesian
    fellows. They were trying hard to release Indonesia from the colonization. The independence of our
    country can never be obtained only by being lazy all the time. Indonesian independency cannot be
    realized by only relying on one or two people. Indonesian independency was achieved with the hard
    work. Indonesian independency happened because of the unity of all Indonesian people all over the
    country.

    Sir, Madam, and my dear friends,

    Remembering how the efforts of our heroes to fight for our independency, it is right for us to appreciate
    the Independence Day by doing something positive with the spirit of nationalism so that we can
    contribute something to celebrate the Independence Day.

    The spirit and the high sense of nationalism can be realized in many ways, but the most important thing
    for us as the students is to study well and not being just lazy. We as the students have been facilitated
    by various technologies and internet. It can bring positive impacts but also negative impacts for us. The
    positive impacts are we can get a lot of knowledge and information. We can learn many things from the
    internet, such as history lessons, biology, mathematics, physics, social sciences, and also foreign
    languages. However it can also bring negative impacts such as playing games and also social media too
    long. It all makes us become lazy. Therefore, my dear friends, let us be the useful generation for the
    nation. Competitive, active and imaginative generation for the name of our nation so we can give the
    pride to our nation, so our nation can be proud with us.

    Sir, Madam, and my dear friends,

    This is the end of my speech today, I hope that my speech can be useful for all of us. Hopefully this year,
    on the 74rd year, Indonesia will always grow better. Thank you for your attention.
