English is fun

This is the speech that was supposed to be performed 1 year ago in a speech and poetry reading contest. Due to some problems I was disqualified together with my friend: Elida Yuliani (poetry reading). it took a lot effort to make this, so I think it might be usefull for some people ^^

English is very useful to us because of we can communicate internationally, we can make friends with people around the world, it helps us to gain success, and so on. That are common things to say when someone ask you why English is important.

Even though everyone knows that English is useful and important, it doesn't guarantee that they also feel English is fun.

English is fun and it is not difficult at all. Personally, I do think English is fun and easy. I believe that the key point is our perception. If our perception 'English is easy' so it will be. On the other hand, if we think it is hard, then it is hard. Saying 'English is easy' is easy and saying 'it's difficult' is also easy. It needs the same amount of time, and it is also free, but the affect is different. Saying English is easy will make us think it's easy and keep our spirit up. Saying it difficult will make us think it's difficult. Many motivators say that you are what you say.

In fact it won't be easy as saying it. To make English becomes easy, we need not only perception, but also effort. Being able to speak English isn't something that came from dreamland, but comes by effort. In learning English we can choose which method is the most convenient for us. Maybe some will say; it's still hard, it has no use at all. I do believe that there's nothing instant in learning. It's not magic which result will come in a short time. Learning needs process. First time I learnt English just because I don't want to get a low score in the subject. I found English is interesting and fun when I finally get the profit. I've met many friends outside Indonesia. And it is fun to be able to communicate with them. I also like to watch western and animation film. And of course they use English. If there's an interesting sentence I'll wrote it and search for the meaning in dictionary. That's my effort; the method I chose was chatting and watching which are also my hobbies.

English is easy. I believe it is not just 'easy' but conditional easy. All of us here are still learning. Just like the rise and fall of the tides, life also has its ups and downs. Sometimes feel so diligent, sometimes feel so lazy. It doesn't matter and actually it is natural. Just don’t stop learning.

Think you need English very much. People will be very good in learning a language when they need to use that language. For example, you are in vacation then were lost in London, just in several months you comeback to Indonesia you'll be able to speak English well. Why? It is because that's the only choice you have to survive you need you be able to speak English. But to be able speak English well, we don't need to lost in London, just make friends with those who can speak English, as for me it is chatting. I learnt most of my vocabulary not in school, but by chatting with many people in internet. When you met someone in chatting and then he asks you something you don't know the meaning, you have no choice you need to search it in dictionary then you can finally answer it. That's the way I learnt English. I realized, even we come from many different countries, only by English we can truly communicate and understand each other.

The last one is to share. Don’t keep your knowledge to yourself. When you share you gain happiness. I have a dream to be able to speak English fluently. I'm sure you do the same. This will probably inspire you to keep your dream in balance, not just dreaming but also start doing something to achieve your dream.

In conclusion, It won't be easy as saying it. When it becomes easy, there's no challenge. When there's no challenge, there's no fun, isn't it? That's why English is fun.
