The following is an example of a persuasive speech text and its structure with various discussion topics, including the dangers of drugs, the importance of education, environmental hygiene, and discipline.
Examples of persuasive speeches about drugs
Opening
Drugs are a complicated problem in Indonesia and even the world. Its existence worries many parties. The condition of the victims who have already fallen into the black abyss is very worrying. Drugs have damaged many young souls who have a long way to go.
Contents
Position Statement
Firm action to ignore it altogether is the only way to avoid it. Because we are just a little close to this object, we will fall into a black hole that will torture us physically and psychologically.
Argument Stage
How not? Once we try drugs, these items will haunt us every day, every hour, even every second! Drugs are addictive substances which means that our bodies will continue to ask for them when we have tasted them.
It's not that our bodies want them, but that drugs manipulate our bodies to ask for them. Our bodies will be fooled to continue to enter this dangerous drug even though the substances contained in it actually destroy our bodies.
It does not stop there, and drugs will also attack us psychologically. That is, our hearts will continue to be restless if we haven't tasted it. The darkness will cover our heads; it creates until we can even yell and even hurt the people we love.
We are not the only victims when we talk about our loved ones. But the people closest to us who care about our lives. Imagine how your parents felt to see you suffer from being trapped by this hazardous substance. They will not be able to see us suffer. They will also get a lot of societal stigma for a lifetime!
Strengthening of Position Statement
It's enough that 3,000,000 people in Indonesia have been trapped in their mortal pleasures. Yes, you heard it right; 3,000,000 people and still counting have fallen into this black hole of illicit objects based on data compiled by BNN or the National Narcotics Agency in 2019.
Closing
Therefore I state firmly, please do not approach this unclean thing! It's not just a matter of law, and even the law is just an intermediary. Drugs should be shunned because they are really destructive and will destroy your life! Thank you.
Examples of persuasive speeches about education
Opening
The forefront of the progress of a nation is education. Education will never be separated from the key to success in all aspects of life. Therefore, allow me to raise the spirit of education in this opportunity.
Contents
Position Statement
Education is an area we are working on together today. Both as students and as education providers. We are all equal in the eyes of education, and we are all integrated with the lifelong education ecosystem. This means that we must all be the driving force of education whenever and wherever we are, both on a small and large scale.
Argument Stage
The importance of education in the nation's life rests on the fact that the development of human resources is the biggest factor in the success of the community system. Both in the economic, social, political, cultural, and other major sectors.
An educated society will lead us to a better life. The real example can be seen in Japan how the country was able to get back on its feet quickly after its destruction when the atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The education sector is one of the main things they pay attention to after the humanitarian disaster. As a result, even though they lost in the second world war, they managed to become one of the countries with the strongest economy globally.
This can be traced to an article published by Britannica, one of the world's educational institutions, which stated that after its defeat in the 2nd world war, there had been major reforms and developments in the Japanese education system.
Strengthening of Position Statement
With this small sample, I think it is enough to be a strong argument about the importance of education. All aspects of life in this world can never be separated from the progress of education as well not only in terms of knowledge but from character education and the mental progress of the community as well.
Closing
I hope it's clear what I'm saying this time. Let's together continue to remember and realize a good and educational education in Indonesia. That is all, and thank you.
Example of a persuasive speech about the environment (environmental cleanliness)
Opening
The environment is our main foothold in carrying out all life activities worldwide. Without a supportive and adequate environment, our lives will not run well. A good environment will also positively impact our lives as inhabitant beings who will not even survive without it.
Contents
Position statement
So that's why we have to take care of it. Always keeping a clean environment while using it will give us a commensurate return. On the other hand, if we just inhabit this environment and neglect its cleanliness, disaster will be the result.
Argument stage
I think everyone would agree that cleanliness is always synonymous with health. Therefore, the first benefit of protecting the environment is maintaining our health, especially during a pandemic like now.
Keeping yourself clean is not enough. An unclean environment can be a breeding ground for various disease carriers. Various harmful microbes can live in an unclean environment, including viruses.
In addition to physical health, maintaining a clean environment can also maintain our mental health. According to the American Heart Association, spending time in a clean, open, and green environment can help reduce levels of anxiety and depression.
Then a clean environment also makes us much more comfortable to live in. Everyone must be aware of this. A clean environment makes us more comfortable staying for a longer time, which will help the various activities we do become much smoother.
Strengthening of Position Statement
Once again, I emphasize that maintaining a clean environment is important that all of us should not miss. We may not immediately get the negative impact. But other people who are your fellow human beings pay the price.
Without keeping the river environment clean, flooding will hit people who are close to the river. Plastic waste ends up polluting the oceans. Yes, if not treated properly, plastic waste will end up in the ocean, and the people who live there will suffer the most.
In fact, according to data compiled by National Geographic, if we don't stop littering, by 2040, nearly thirty million square tons of plastic waste will flood the oceans.
Closing
That's my presentation about environmental hygiene. Hopefully, this short speech can burn the audience's spirit to always take care of all of our homes. That is all, and thank you.
Examples of persuasive speeches about discipline
Opening
Good afternoon, best wishes, and may we all remain protected in this difficult time. Ladies and gentlemen, on this occasion, I would like to convey a short message to take our potential to the next level.
Contents
Position statement
What is something that can really bring out our potential? It is nothing but discipline. Yes, discipline in the simple sense of being able to maintain consistency and be consistent with what obligations we want and are doing. We as a school community should instill high self-discipline in our daily lives, including in learning activities.
Argument Stage
Without discipline, someone who is intelligent and extraordinarily intelligent will not be able to bring out his potential. He cannot produce anything that is useful for himself, let alone for others. Why? Because the creative process requires high discipline. If a person is not disciplined in his work, the work will never be finished.
Lack of self-discipline will also prevent a job from being slower. This means that the work will never be finished because there is no consistency in the work that will immediately make it complete. In this fast-paced era of the 4.0 industrial revolution, a lack of discipline threatens one to be unable to survive against this fast-paced flow of work traffic.
Discipline is also the main foundation of one's competence. Why? Because discipline is one part of soft skills that determines a person's success or failure in life. According to Dr. Syahrial Mukhtar, Vice President Stakeholder Relations of PT. Pertamina soft skills are the key to success in the world of work.
Strengthening of Position Statement
Thus practicing self-discipline is an important aspect that should not be overlooked for all of us. Discipline is the key to the success of our lives in any aspect or dimension, without exception. It is true that maintaining discipline is not an easy thing and can be difficult. However, Mario Teguh, an Indonesian motivational expert, once said that suffering from discipline is better than suffering from regret.
Closing
That's the message I want to convey on this occasion. Hopefully, we can all continue to maintain and practice continuously so that we can become disciplined individuals. Thank you for your attention.
