EXAMPLE OF SPEECH SCRIPT

Online or Offline Study (1)

Assamualaikum Wr Wbr.

Excellency Mr. Darmawan as English lecturer.

Honorable Master of Ceremony of this event.

My beloved friends who attending here.

In the name of God, The Most Gracious and The Most Merciful.

Let’a pray and thank unto our God, Allah SWT who has given many opportunities and
enjoyment to all of us so that we can study at this beloved campus.
And, may peace and salutation always upon our prophet Muhammad SAW, messenger of
God, who has guided and learned us from darkness to the brightness, from the stupidity to
intelegence.

Dear brothers and Sisters,

Which one do you like, on line study or offline study ? I am sure that you must of you like
online study ? Because it can make you dont need much money. On the contrary, offstudy can
make you busy. But, is it true ?
Ladies and gentlemen.

Study is important for you, on line or off line, both have their respective advantages and
disadvantages.
kelebihan and kekurangan. Same of both, you must concentrate in your materi. And its
problem, in offline you will find many problem. The examples, you can not ask well, because
it is difficult to do it. In offline, you must spend your money for transportation and you must
eat in campus. Do you agree with my opinion. Online offers practicality. Can save costs and
time.
Offline offers a good relationship between lecturers and students. Learning is more intimate
and lecturers can monitor students' conditions.
I think Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. he same thing online, even
though it seems practical, also has different problems that you have to overcome. Some
students complained because they could not understand the lesson well. Actually, both can be
combined to get better learning benefits. We can use online methods for additional lessons,
for example.
Happy audience.
The conclusion of our speech. Both types of learning patterns have their respective
advantages. In this era of information progress, we must utilize both to advance our
education.
Finally, thank you very much for your kind attention. I wish you reach your dream and
always succes.
Wassalamualaikum wr wbr.
