Ladies and gantlemen Let us say Alhamdulillahirabbilalamin to the Almighty Allah SWT, let us send our salaam and shalawat to our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW. Before I deliver my speech, I would like to say thank you very much for the MC who has given me chance to join this English speech contest. Brothers and sisters I would like to deliver my speech entitled: The Negative Effects of Television in our Life. Television is a popular form of communication medium in any household. It has also become an important part in our daily life. It cannot be denied that television from which we get information and entertainments, has contributed to the improvement of our society. But, on the contrary, I think television tends to have a tremendous influence on its viewers. Ladies and gentlemen Instead of its advantages, the presence of television also affects negatively on our society. First, based on the recent research, people of all ages use this media to entertain themselves for an average of five hours a day. The content exposure of TV, of course, will influence the viewers, not only their thinking but also attitudes. This can be seen from the fact that many criminalities are inspired from the scene of TV. Second, people can be adversely influenced by constant watching TV. They less participate in physical and social activities, spend less time reading and working, and see a work of violence that can affect their feeling of security. The last, commercial advertisements on TV can be a kind of brain washing. Physicologically, constant show of advertisements will create peoples images about one product. No wonder people are easier to remember the motto or slogan of an

It is very important for us to handle and manage the presence of television in order to overcome the negative effects of television, especially for children and young generation. That is my speech.

I. PEMBUKAAN Assalamualaikum Wr Wb. With all due respect to the honorable judges, to the teacher from all Senior High Schools in Bekasi, and all the audience here, ladies and gentlemen Good Morning!! First of all, let us thank Allah SWT because of his blessings, we all can gather here on this sunny morning. Shalawat and prayer, we will say to our greatest prophet Muhammad SAW, his family, his friends and his followers. Amen. In this chance, I would like to tell you my speech that has the theme Go Green! II. ISI Saving Our Planet is a program that was persuading the earthlings so that they would become more concern and care to their entire environment. It was because the civilization that has been created by the modern people in this millennium era had affected so many destructive impacts which are really needed to be concerned. These impacts are causing a new problem, The Global Warming. In prediction, that in the last 100 years the temperatures of our planet has increased by 1 every year. Meanwhile, the ocean surface has increased for about 1 meter from its former level. The problem is, modern people not only wanted to increase their prosperity, but also increase their rate of comfortable & luxurious life. The situation was very different if we looked back to the last century where the pollution, the industrial garbage, and the toxin gases were friendlier. Friendlier, because on the 19 th Century the technologies improvement and the consumerism character was not yet significant. Or should we say in this millennium era, the Earth exploitation and exploration were causing the crucial problem for the earthlings. How crucial the earth environmental problems we face are for example: The protected animals & plants from certain species nearly extinct, the plantation sector is causing another problem for environment & ecosystem, forest logging without reboization, and the impact of mines exploitation that cannot be recycled and maintenance of mine sector, etc. For us, the youth generation is asking to the politicians and the government especially in Indonesia, Why do those problems I mentioned left uncared without any

preventive actions? In fact, our ex-Minister of Environment of Orde Baru era Prof. Dr. Emil Salim has warned and gave us an opinion about will happen on the next 20 years. He said that the situation will be dangerous if there are no actions to prevent this. We need the proactive steps to maintain the nature and to rehabilitee what we have disrupted from every department that is connected with the environmental cases and our community. The example about the impact of humans greed to the nature is The Lapindo Brantas case. Thats how the nature shows us their power. Theres not even one human could stand against the power of nature. Until now, there are no ways to stop the mud throwing and even the poisonous gases that is unwanted by the people. We as the khalifah of the Earth can only begging, begging, and begging to the nature and destroy the nature. But when we must give something to the nature or maintain the nature, we feel that we dont want to! Is the nature retaliating our doings? When we think deeply over this I guess the answer is yes, the nature is angry to us. The natures balance was really disturbed by the mortals hands and this behavior has spread widely over the world because of our hedonism. The question is How? How do we realize collectively for the worlds life so that so that the Earth could become a better place to live? We as the youth generations, the lines of the civilization must be as one to create the vision & mission to help the government and the people for watching over the reboization program and for the environment reparation that is caused by the industrialist and the people generally wherever they are. We as the youth generation without exception must be totally devote our bodies & wills for the sake of healthy world, comfortable world, and for the sake of better place to live I suggest to the government and the people of Indonesia to plant the cambium plants or the pot plants on every one of the house garden. Everyone, every people must be responsible for every single of plants. Imagine! If every people have 1 plant in one house, there are 200 millions of plants in Indonesia. This is a very good step to begin our mission to prevent the Global Warming. Start this on any time now! For my recommendation, the sansivieras (one of the most beautiful pot plant) is really good to kept because of its great use of anti-pollutant & anti-free radical. Besides, its beauty will decorate our house so that we wont feel bad to buy it. III. PENUTUP Well, I guess thats all I can tell. In the end, to show our devotion as the youngish, the lines to the future, we must be balanced it with faith and taqwa because those are our capitol to realize our wishes so that we can live in perfect harmony just as Allah SWT has confirmed to us.
