Paragraph assignment

Sir, this is the paragraph assignment that I have made from two supporting sentence :

Inflation is a situation which the rate of exchange is bigger than a rate of production. This situation become popular in some developing countries in the world,especially our country Indonesia. Many economic’s expert of developing countries talk about inflation. Why this become happen? In the opinion of the nation’s economic experts the primary cause of inflation is our dependence on imported oil. Our country now often import oil from other countries because the scarcity of oil in our country. Next reason is our country have low income. Beside that, foreign investation in our country is also low. Because of this problem, our government often publish this situation at TV in misleading commercial TV, and make people can’t understand about this problem that had happened. Therefore in my opinion, commercial TV in our country should publish about this problem than misleading commercial TV, because inflation is also problem in our people.

Thank you, Sir.
