On April 30th 2015, Sekolah Mentari Grand Surya had an English Speech Fest. The theme was about the "Youth of Today". The Grade 8, they made their own speech to be shared. Meanwhile, the Grade 7 acted their declamation that was printed.
The speech was divided into two batches; the first and the second. The first batch was held in the morning at 9:30 am, while the second batch was on the afternoon at 12:30 pm. Both of the batches were from the EFL and ESL and was held in the auditorium.There were 53 performers. In the first batch, there were 26 performers, and 27 performers in the second batch. The order of the performance was like zebra, which were by turns; grade 8, then grade 7, until the show ended. The grade 8 dressed formally, while the grade 7 dressed according to their declamation.
The teachers invited the grade 6 and grade 5 to score each of the performance.The host was Mr. Josh. But before the show starts, we sang our national anthem; Indonesia Raya, that was lead by Calista from grade 8.
The speech that we made were mostly
based on our life experiences, that we were able to feel it while
performing. The grade 7 acted according to their declamation and we
could enjoy it, even though a few of them didn't memorize well.
We practiced a month before the show. During the show, some of the performer forgot their line, but it ended well and the teachers were satisfied. The speech and declamation were interesting and fun.
