Have you ever seen how some people
run a business office? There are some
professions that have very important roles in
business activities. These professions are related
to each other in an organization. The professions
discussed here are banker, accountant, and
secretary.
A banker is person who conducts
banking. He may be the owner of a bank or he
can be the member of the board of directors who
operated the bank. Bankers give loans to
business offices, firms, factories, to operate or
expand their business
An accountant is a person who has
charge of the accounts of a company. He is the
one who records, keeps financial accounts and
makes financial statements. He plays an
important role to make the firms remain in good
financial condition.
A secretary is someone who keeps
records, handles correspondence, or does the
administration for an organization or person. The
assistant or private secretary of an executive
always deals with the business letter writing of
that person. The secretary is, therefore,
concerned with any business that the firm
undertakes. The secretary must be qualified and
able to speak English, fluently. There are certain
types of duties that a secretary is responsible of
such as making appointments, receiving orders,
making reservations for the manager, sending
letters of congratulations or condolence, sending
invitations etc. She also makes an agenda for
the manager. An office usually has more than
one secretary who are always busy doing their
duties.

Makassar is the provincial capital of South

Sulawesi, Indonesia, and the largest city on
Sulawesi Island. From 1971 to 1999, the city was
named Ujung Pandang, after a pre-colonial fort in
the city, and the two names are often used
interchangeably. The port city is located at 58S
11925E, on the southwest coast of the island of
Sulawesi, facing the Makassar Strait. Its area is
175.77 km2 and has population of around 1.4
million.
Makassar is home to several prominent
landmarks including the 16th century Dutch fort
Fort Rotterdam, Trans Studio Makassarthe third
largest indoor theme park in the world and the
Karebosi Linkthe first underground shopping
center in Indonesia.
Makassar has several famous traditional
foods. The most famous is Coto Makassar. It is a
stew made from the mixture of nuts and spices
with beef parts which include beef brain, tongue
and intestine. Konro rib dish is also popular
traditional food in Makassar. Both Coto Makassar
and Konro are usually eaten with Burasa,
glutinous rice with coconut milk and sauted
coconut granule.
In addition, Makassar is the home of pisang
epe, or pressed bananas. These are bananas
which are pressed, grilled, and covered with
palm sugar sauce and sometimes eaten with
Durian. Many street vendors sell pisang epe,
especially around the area of Losari beach.

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
Department of Forestry in 1999. Diving has been
an important activity at Kapoposang since the
mid 1990s. There were so few local divers at the
time, and because of the distance from other
well-known
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
fierce 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
