            Friday, April 4th 2014. The very first Speech-Fest was held at Sekolah Mentari Grand Surya. It was held from 8.30 A.M – 9.30 A.M. Some Grade 7 students participated as the speakers on the Speech-Fest. There were 14 speakers, 7 from the EFL and 7 from the ESL. The judges were also the audience who were Grade 4 – Grade 6 students. Each of them was given an evaluation paper to evaluate the speakers.


            The top 5 topics are “Drugs” by Bastian who won the first place with 43 votes, “Bullying” by Reynaldi and “Choosing the Right Pop Icon” by Vianca who won the second place with 39 votes, “Teenage Smoking” by Robin who won the third place with 30 votes, “Preserve Our Tradition” by Elvira and “The Importance of Self Esteem” by Gaby who won the fourth place with 28 votes, “Flood, Sweat and Tear” by Tamara and “Eradicate Child Labor” by Grace who won the fifth place with 27 votes.

            Most students chose “Drugs” as the best interesting topic because nowadays, many peoples from adults to kids used drug. Drugs are really dangerous and it can cause death. Students also chose “Choosing the Right Pop Icon” as one of the best topics. Most of the reasons were because the topic was about Miley Cyrus and Miley Cyrus is infamous. “Bullying” was also chosen as one of the best topics because, bullying often happens at schools and it can cause the victim to commit suicide. Students know much about these topics.

            Speech-Fest 2014 ran smoothly. All the speakers spoke clearly. The topics that they chose were all good. Sekolah Mentari Grand Surya Middle School Principal, Mr. Hari, hopes that the speakers and all students of Sekolah Mentari Grand Surya can truly improve in public speaking.
