A CHANCE FOR YOU

English is always more than to be written but also should be spoken. Anywhere you meet people who can write in English well will never be enough if you don’t know his / her ability to speak. You will realize it someday.

I have an experience that I could proof if we can write in English well, it isn’t perfect yet unless we can speak as well as our written. Several years ago, I have a friend who masters tenses and grammar. All his written tests at school always good (he always get perfect mark). But when he should speak in front of the class using English, he was speechless. But, it was so different with my friend named Yamroni (my friend at SMP). He was so brave to speak with a Belgian in Prambanan temple (that time we were in a study tour). In fact, he wasn’t good enough in grammar and structure. He just brave to practice the English he had!

Perfection of English can be reached by 3 components: grammar, structure, and bravery to practice (speak out). But we do not need to be perfect first to use our English, right? The most important thing is our bravery to practice what we have had. But it’s important too, to master grammar and structure to be perfect so that we can be more confident.

There are so many ways to realize our English: build an English club, join a cyber community on internet, take a part in every English contest such as debating competition, speech contest, retelling story competition, etc. And it’s really important to start practicing our English as soon as possible. Right now, no tomorrow. So that’s why, as an organization that so care to English development at school, SPEC held competition to “raise” the students’ bravery to practice their English. So, SPEC held a retelling story competition for SMP students in Purbalingga regency. The competition was for celebrating the 20th anniversary of SMA N Bukateja (2006). It was 3 years ago, but this time I should show you the video that never been shown to public. I know that it’s too late, but why not? Who knows, it will motivate a lot of students to start practicing their English without feeling embarrassed, right? Enjoy the video below.

From the video we know that practicing English, actually, should be started as early as possible. And you can see that the sooner you practice English, the better result will you get. So, when will you start practicing your English? It’s your turn, now. Yes, your chance!
