•ARIS          :I am fine too.

-REZA         :What are you doing here?

•ARIS          :Nothing. I only sit here.

-REZA         :O yeah, Ris.What do you think about the economical condition of indonesian societies nowadays?

•ARIS          :I think that the economical condition of Indonesian societies nowadays is better than before. It can be proven from the data that has been valid,that stated that the poverty level of society in Indonesia is decreased.it is about 25 percents.

-REZA         :Wow, That’s great. there are recently news says rupiah Is predicted will be number 1 in asia?

•ARIS          :Indonesian economy that is actually very promising.Some analysts predicted that Rupiah will rise from the worst position to be the number one among other Asian currencies this year.

-REZA         : Whether there are factors that maintain the stability of the rupiah?

•ARIS          : There are several factors that will allegedly keep the Rupiah. One of them, a steady growth of the Indonesian economy and the reduce of trade deficit. Two factors are again the main attraction for foreign funds to re-invest in Indonesia.

-REZA         : the economic problems in Indonesia today there any disadvantages?

•ARIS          : of course, Government must also remember some weaknesses that Indonesia's economic structure needs to be addressed now.Indonesia's economic weakness is in the trade deficit. Currently due to larger imports than exports then it makes more Indonesian trade balance to be deficit. Moreover, the largest import of oil and gas.As the impact, the deficit and the high pressure gas imports that led to the weakening of the rupiah.

-REZA         : whether it be a factor weakness?

•ARIS          : moreover,factors are again the main attraction for foreign funds to re-invest in Indonesia.Though foreign investors intending to invest in Indonesia as it will look up the bureaucratic infrastructure. If not good, then foreign investors will pull out of Indonesia.

-REZA         : I am very agree with your opinion. but I have another opinion that Indonesia's economy so much better. You should listen to me

•Aris           : Oh yeah? What is it?

-REZA         : Indonesia should be able to create more entrepreneurs. because when in Indonesia many who become entrepreneurs, unemployment decreases, state revenues will increase if there are companies that export to overseas. Welfare of the people of Indonesia can also be guaranteed.

•ARIS          : I agree with your opinion. But what do you think the Indonesian government should do in order to achieve those goals?

-REZA         : In my opinion, the government should more often provide socialization of entrepreneurs to the world community at large. Education employers should be introduced early. Because this time what happens is education in Indonesia tend to be smart people creating academically and hard skills only. Then what happens is a lot of college graduates are unemployed. Because they can not compete with people who excel in their soft skills. Whereas in the world of work, soft skills into effect which is about 80% larger than the hard skills are just so supporting the 20%. Because soft skill Indonesian people are still minimal, the majority of Indonesia's population is only aimed at finding a job is not creating jobs.

•ARIS          : Well I am so interested to become entrepreneurs. But I do not know what I have to sell. Moreover I was afraid of interrupting my lecture.

-REZA         : Do not worry! My uncle is a businessman said that many business opportunities are available for students like us. Examples of her dress making business, selling flash and so on. We do not need to open a store to sell but simply selling through online. That way we can still start doing small steps to become an entrepreneur without having to disrupt lectures.

•ARIS          : Alright. I became a passion to be entrepreneurs in Indonesia so that the economy is better. Thank you reza.

-REZA         : You’re welcome.

•ARIS          : By the way, the lecturer has begun to enter. We have to hurry to class.

-REZA         : Oke let’s go!
