PRINCIPAL’S DRIP PROGRAM SPEECH

“Good morning teachers and students. It is an honour for me today to talk to you about the English language. One thing for sure, English is very important indeed. It is an International language and it’s spoken by more people than any other languages. If you don’t try, you will surely miss the good part of the world. People who can speak English will be respected by others. Not to mention better job opportunities.

And as for us, we have been learning English for years, and still many of the students are weak in this subject. The results of past years examinations are not encouraging. Realizing this problem, English Language Panel of SMK Seri Paka has come up with a programme called DR1P (Drop everything and Read 1 Page) to improve students’ performances in English. This reading programme will also help to widen students’ vocabulary and to write good essays.

As students, you must play your part. The opportunities are there for you, so, make sure you take them. I hope this programme will be one of the platforms for you to improve your English. Without wasting any more time, I now officially launch the 2013 DRIP Programme.

          Thank you.

Let me begins my speech today with a saying, “reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.” What does it mean? Well, in order to stay fit and healthy, we are encouraged to do regular exercises, such as going for aerobic classes, jogging and cycling. But don’t forget, we should also exercise our minds, and the best way to do so is by reading.

          We are very lucky because we have many English language media like books, newspapers, movies and television. We should take advantages of these chances to read and listen to English. But how many of us here read English materials? Not many.

One of the reasons why

I hope this programme will be the best platform for students to improve your English. Without wasting any more time, I now declare the launching of 2013 DRIP Programme.”
