"How To Make Kite Flying"

Materials :

Butcher cord
Scotch tape or glue
1 Sheet of strong paper
2 Strong, straight wooden sticks of bamboo
Markers, paint or crayons

Instruction on how to make a kite:

1. Make a cross with the two sticks, with the shorter stick placed horizontally across the longer stick.

2. Tie the two sticks together with the string in such a way as to make sure that they are at right angles to each other.

3. Cut a notch at each end of the sticks. Make it deep enough for the type of string you are using to fit in to. Cut a piece of string long enough to stretch all around the kite frame.

4. Lay the sail material flat and place the stick frame face down on top. Cut around it, leaving about 2-3cm for a margin. Fold these edges over and glue it down so that the material is tight.

5. Make a tail by tying a small ribbon roughly every 10cm along the length of string.

6. Decorate your kite with the markers!

"My Speech Task About Honesty"

Assalamua’laikum wr.wb

With all due respects to the honorable judges, to our teacher, Ma’am Endar and to all of my friends,

Good morning everybody....

First of all, let us thanks to Allah SWT for His blessings, that we can gather here on this event.

Ladies and gentleman,

In this opportunity, I would like to deliver my speech about “The Power of Honesty”.

Actually, what is honesty? honesty is an expression or statement of a person in truth from the inner depths of his heart. Honesty rarely encountered for several time. All of people should always tell the truth everyday, because truth is the beginning of the key to success. If they tell dishonest or lie everyday, their life will be bad luck and never be lucky. Honesty should always be inculcated from early. Honest person will always be a lot of friends, a lot of merit, and began planting the seeds of success. Honest is one of the key for future success. So, if we want to be success in the future we should always be honest and never tell lies at all.

Finally, I hope the Indonesian people can be honest, creative, more productive, innovative and useful for the future nation and country, creating high quality human resources that can be independent and meet the needs of universe.

Okay, thank you very much for your attention. If there a word mistakes, I apologize.

Wassalamua’laikum wr.wb

"Pidato Bahasa Inggris"

Assalamualaikum wr wb.

I thank God for giving the health and time to share a knowledge on this historic day, the day of national education.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Indonesia is a big country, inhabited by hundreds of millions people includes islands spread widely. We have been independent since 1945, but I think Indonesia is not yet independent in terms of education. Although we have changed curricula almost every year, but it proved that the Indonesian education has not been able to compete with the developed countries. We tend to fall behind and have not been able to print a great human resources class as developed countries.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I tried to draw a line to the back, and I get the irony which is really disappointing. In this very rich country, there are so many students drop out of school, do not have a uniform, and swim to go to school because of the broken bridge. It is an irony in the midst of our State assets.

Statistics of school buildings damaged and have not been improved are also too much. It is happening in the provinces that are far away from the center of government and gives continuing negative effect on the education system in the province itself.

Of course, a child who does not get an education will have difficulties in achieving a better stAndard of living in his future. You've seen that a lot of ignorance and poverty arise because so many crimes arising from poverty.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Education is a major key to get a better state order. Through proper and best education, we are able to print high-quality human resources, eradicate ignorance, and destroy poverty.

Therefore, let us together to be students and teachers that are diligent, sincere, and keep trying without the unyielding. We are Indonesia, a rich country that should have the best education. Do not give up on the fate of our nation today, and continues to struggle in gaining an independence education.

I would like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to convey these short useful messages.

Thank you for all the attention,

Wassalamualaikum wr wb.
