Honorable the juries/ the audience.

Honorable the teachers from ..............

And my beloved friends,

Assalamualaikum  Wrwb.

Good morning/ Good afternoon/Good Evening.

Thanks for the time that given to me, let me introduce myself. My name is ..................

I’m from ...................

At this occasion, I am going to make speech entitle “ Using Science and Technology For Better Life”

Ladies and gentlemen whom we fully respect,

            We live on earth. Every day, we need food, pure water for drinking, sugar, milk,meat, fruits, vegetables, fresh air for breathing, energy, sulight,houses,education,and recreation. As we know that the population grow so rapidly. As a matter of fact, the land that we cultivate and for living do not grow.It still remains on its size.

Ladies and gentlemen whom we fully respect,

            A long time ago........ food, drink, vegetables do not become the humans’problems. But at present and in the future, it seems to be a big problems for us. We need more and more food, clothes, drinks, vegetables, houses, energy and fresh air for living. It means that science and technology are needed to overcome these problems.

Ladies and gentlemen whom we fully respect,

In the past time, it needed for about 6 months for farmers for planting paddies until they harvested it.But  by development of science and technology , now, the farmers only needs  about three months for growing paddies until they harvest it.

A long time ago, humans needed petroleum  to make light in their houses. Now.... by developing science and technology, the electricity replaced the petroleum. Formarly, for cooking rice, women needed wood for making fire. But now gas and electricity are needed.For washing clothes,in the past time,  people used their hands but now persons can use washing machines to wash their clothes.

Ladies and gentlemen whom we fully respect,

            Not only those things but there are many things that have changed. For going to distance places,people spent much time because they had to walk or ride horses. But at this time, people only spend a little time for going to far way places.. By the development of science and technology , a lot of  means of transportations were invented. Cars, trains, buses, ships,aeroplanes are used by the people for fast means of transportation.

           

Not only  means of transportations but also the information and telecomunication.

A long time ago, persons spent much time for sending a message. At that time, people used letters. But now by the invention of hand phone people can  send a message only in a second.The most important thing is by the invention of radio, television, computer and internets. We can easily get information, science and technology from all over the world in a very short time.

            At last,we have to realize about this.The develpment of science and technology for our better life. We should say thanks  to the scientists who have developed those things.

           

I think that,s all. Thank you very much for your attention. I’m sorry for my mistakes and see you later.

Assalamualaikum wrwb.
