the teachers, and my beloved friends. First for all, we give thanks to the almighty God, with his blessings we can standing up here right now.The topic of the speech is about Indonesia independence August 17th is a day where all the Indonesian people rejoice to recall the merits of the heroes who have gained independence for all of us. I can’t believe that time flies so fast and our country is growing fast too every year. We are all lucky to be assembled today because of the merits of the heroes who have defended our country since decades ago. One of the heroes is Bung Karno. Bung Karno is the first president of Indonesia. Bung Karno is the important figure in the struggle of the Indonesian people to achieve independency. He was the Proclaimer of Indonesian Independence (together with Mohammad Hatta), which occurred on 17 August 1945. Soekarno was also the first person to introduce the concept of Pancasila as the foundation of the Indonesia, Sir, Madam, and my dear friends, The spirit and the high sense of nationalism can be realized in many ways, but the most important thing for us as the students is to study well and not being just lazy. We as the students have been facilitated by various technologies and internet. It can bring positive impacts but also negative impacts for us. The positive impacts are we can get a lot of knowledge and information. We can learn many things from the internet, such as history lessons, biology, mathematics, physics, social sciences, and also foreign languages. However it can also bring negative impacts such as playing games and also social media too long. It all makes us become lazy. Therefore, my dear friends, let us be the useful generation for the nation. Competitive, active and imaginative generation for the name of our nation so we can give the pride to our nation, so our nation can be proud with us.That’s Indonesia. Sir, Madam, and my dear friends, This is the end of my speech today, I hope that my speech can be useful for all of us. Hopefully this year, on the 78th year, Indonesia will always grow better. Thank you for your attention God bless Indonesia
