INVITATION
 DESCRIPTIVE TEXT
The following text is for questions 6 to 8.

Kapoposang is one of the largest of the Spermonde Islands, around 70 km

northwest of Makassar, South Sulawesi. Kapoposang covers an area of around
50.000 hectares and is inhabited by around 100 families. Several other islands,
both inhabited and uninhabited, lie near Kapoposang. The larger ones include
Papandangan, Kondongbali, Suranti, and Tambakulu.

Kapoposang and the nearby islands were declared a Nature Tourism Park
by the Departement of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been an important activity at
Kapoposang. There were so few local divers at the time, and because of the
distance from other wellknown diving areas in Indonesia, Kapoposang has
basically remained a secret.

The best time to visit Kapoposang is between April and November, when
the seas are calm, the weather favorable, and the wind less fi erce than in the other
months. The trip takes two hours by speedboat; the ocean breezes help to cool
your skin in the hot morning sun. As you approach Pulau Kapoposang, you see the
deep blue water, which suddenly meets an expanse of coral reefs between
extensive shallows with white sands in the seabed. Sea grass also grows lushly
near the shore. The sea bed at Kapoposang has a unique composition; near the
island are some quite shallow contours, and then suddenly steep underwater cliffs
leading to seemingly endless depths. The water is very clear, you can expect
underwater visibility of over 15 meters – ideal condition for divers.

Nowadays. many people have realized that agriculture is much more than
other supporting tools in economic development. In lndonesia, agriculture should
be the priority of ' development because of some good reasons. First of all, the
agriculture's contribution in the beginning of the development of the country was
the highest of all sectors. At present, almost half of the total Indonesian labors are
working in agriculture sector. but the contribution of agriculture sector does not
reach 30 percent. Second, agriculture sector is expected to fultil the need of food

year, food supply must also increase but agricultural production per capita never
increases more than one percent each year, and in some extreme cases. it is even
stagnant. Last but not least, without agricultural development, the growth of
industrial sector will be hampered because the growth that comes from industry
will bring a wider gap into the internal economy in that country. in turn, this gap
will create serious poverty problem, wider inequality of income distribution. and
