Language can be interpreted specifically to mean "symbol". And also generally means
"a communication tool in the form of a system of symbols produced by speech organs".
Everyone knows that English is the language of communication of the world. English is the
most widely spoken language in the world. There are 400 million native speakers and 2 billion
people learn it.
Cross-border communication is a factor that shaped the world as we know it today. The
distribution and development of religion, science, and technology relies heavily on this
communication process. Therefore, there is a need to be able to communicate and understand
each other. This communication process should also be able to be done by people from
different countries who use different languages. This need encourages an effort to create a
language that can be understood and used by everyone in the world.
It is very unfortunate, in this era of globalization, there are still many Indonesians who
have not mastered English. There is a saying that says "books are the window of the world",
but how can we see the world if the window is locked? I mean that many crucial books are
written in English, Jawaharlal Lal Nehru said, "English is our major window on the world".
This means English gives us glimpses of the various developments taking place in the world.
It provides us the distilled essence of modern knowledge in all fields of human activity. So
"English is a key of those windows".
This is the end of our speech today. Hopefully we can take a good lesson from what we
deliver today. We ask forgiveness for any words and behave which are not supposed to be.
Thank you for your kind attention today.
