speech for nola

Assalamualaikum wr. Wb

Good morning ladies and gentleman

First of all, I would like to address my thank to the honorable judges for giving me this great opportunity to deliver a speech in this great occasion. I also thank the audience for giving me extra attention in listening to my speech.
Before delivering my speech, I would like to introduce myself. My name is ………………… I study at …………………. And the title of my speech is “Ways to Prevent Flood”

Honorable audience

We all may realize that flood has become our constant problem. Every year, flood becomes a problem that is failed to be overcome by the government. It seems that the government has not yet found the best solution to solve this condition.

Why do they fail?

Is it totally their fault?

I guess no! Let ask ourselves, what have we done to help the government solve this problem? I can say that we’ve done little to support government’s program in preventing flood. I may even say that we are greatly possible to be responsible in causing this problem.

Then what kind of contribution can we give to our society regarding to this problem?
First, we can contribute by planting more trees in the absorption areas. Flood may occur because soil cannot absorb and hold water. We tend to cut trees without considering that it will affect the balance of our environment. Cutting trees will lessen the soil ability in absorbing water. By planting more trees, the soil can absorb water that comes from rain, so there will be no flood anymore when it is raining.

This act can be done without any help from the government. This can be done independently by the people. By doing this, the community has something to be given back to the society without relying too much on government’s effort.
Next, with government support, we can make good drainage. Financial help from the government in constructing city drainage will greatly overcome flood. As we know, our drainage is not so well-built. It is stuck here and there. And sometimes has lost its function and becomes a place full of trash so that the water cannot flow in it.

With constant problem on flood every rainy season, we should start to think about making good drainage like what they have in foreigner country. Big pipes where people can walk through are the best size to keep all of the water that becomes our main problem.

So with the combination of the community act and government support, it is greatly possible that we can overcome our problem related to flood. The government cannot stand and do the act by themselves, and the community contribution will mean nothing without the government support. It is time for us to stand together to fix this problem. It’s time for us to walk hand in hand for our better future.

Honorable audience

So it is clear now, that we can solve this problem, as long as we do it together. Start together, and start now!

Assalamualaikum Wr Wb
