To the honorable jury of English Speech Test or teachers of Public Senior High
School 1 Malang, Good Morning.
Before I start giving a speech, let us be grateful for the blessings that have been given
by Allah SWT so that we can carry out activities this time, without any significant obstacles.
Prayers and greetings are also always with our great prophet, Muhammad SAW.
Then, i would like to introduce my self. My name is Salma Shofi Febrianti from 17
Science 3. It’s an honor for me to deliver a speech in front of you all. On this occasion, I will
deliver a speech about health, with the title "Ebola, one of the deathly virus ".
Ladies and Gentleman
Recently, China is anxious because of a virus that rumored to be the cause of
death. The virus’ name is corona. But, do you now there is a virus that’s more deadly than
corona virus? Yes that’s ebola virus.

Ebola is one of a deathly rare virus. Although this virus is rarely found. But in
Afrika, especially in Kongo, there are still many people who are infected by this virus. This
virus was dicovert in Afrika in 1976. The name was adopted from the ebola river, one of the
villages in Democratic Republic of Kongo, where the dieses first appeared.
Based on a study, the Ebola virus can cause fever, body aches, abdominal
pain, and even bleeding inside or outside the body of people infected with this virus. Ebola
virus is not transmitted through air, water, or food of the sufferer. However, this virus can
spread through skin contact or bodily fluids from infected animals. Like monkeys,
chimpanzees and bats. Then, this virus will move from one person to another in the same
way.

Talking about this virus is scary. Contagious and deadly. But this virus can be
prevented by proper handling. An important note of this virus that we can say as a weakness
is this virus is very weak in the tropics. We can prevent this virus with things that are very
simple and even have become our routine. The most basic thing is to wash your hands
properly, maintain the cleanliness of the food and drinks that we consume and always check
our health. When there are people who have symptoms of this virus, the first thing we have to
do is contact medical personnel as soon as possible and never touch it. Do what the medical
team has ordered.
Our lives are certainly never free from various diseases, but certainly we are entitled
and can get a healthy body. It all depends on ourselves. Therefore, maintaining and caring for
ourselves must be one of our top priorities in life. As the saying goes "prevent more than
cure".
Finally, I would like to end this speech by saying “True treasure is health, not gold
and silver”. I hope this speech can be useful for the others. And thank you so much for your
attention.
