          “It is too good to be true” screamed Henry with joy, a freshman in School of Management. The low-price but plentiful meals attract him a lot. “ 宵夜街 save me a great deal of budget for me. Here, I have the same delicacy but at much lower cost than in Taipei” Henry remarked.

          “But the street is shabby and messy” said Henry. “The dirty surrounding erodes my good mood to eat.”

         However, for Kent, a English department student, 宵夜街 is another story.

        “Oh gosh, I wish I could have other alternative beside it!” Kent shouted, with helpless agony. Doubtlessly, he couldn’t ignore the benefit from cheap food here, but “the quality is sometimes far from restaurant outside NCU and the food choice is monotonous.” Moreover, Kent added, as same as what Henry commented, “the crowded and disordered street really discourage me from having my dinner here!”

        However, with an eye to 宵夜街’s irreplaceable convenience, Kent, as other students whether they like it or not, has no choice but to keep eating everyday there.

       As the main choice for students, the change in 宵夜街 is absolutely important. But for limited profit, it is less likely that shops here revise spontaneously. Hence, school authority should create incentive for them more keenly. By, for example, introducing quality-assessment competition, I believe 宵夜街 will become more and more desirable.

Respond toward Suggestion2

     To start with, some readers advised me to notice several grammar errors, especially for rule of quotation. In an interview quotation, according to grammar, for example “ “------ “ said Henry” , to clarify who makes the announcement, we often use V+S structure instead of S+V since it is an inverted sentence. I accept this idea. However, in my opinion, form is flexible if situation requires. Hence, S+V is sometime acceptable if it can convey ideas more clearly.

     Besides, some suggest that I should add more innovative elements into my article for instance the angle from shopkeepers, since 宵夜街 has already been well-known among NCU students. I admit I neglect this part. Initially, I just want to clear out how NCU students feel about 宵夜街 and why they like or oppose it. Thus, I vary my last paragraph. I talk more about the obstacle for future of 宵夜街 may face and what exactly school authority can do to make it better.

     Then, some says the quotation is vague in some way and my thought inside is not strong enough. To this point, I’ve revised word-form, hoping it will make the quotation is more concrete. Moreover, I’ve added my sincere wish to the future of 宵夜街 at the end of my work.

     In the long run, I want to show my gratitude toward those who gives complements and suggestions. Reader’s opinions make me write more perfect.

Doubtlessly, he couldn’t ignore the benefit from cheap food there, but “the quality is far from restaurant outside NCU and the food choice is monotonous.” Moreover, Kent added, as same as what Henry commented, “the crowded and disgusting street sometime really discourage me from having my dinner there!”

        However, with an eye to 宵夜街’s irreplaceable convenience, Kent has no choice but to keep eating everyday there. Consequently, he sincerely hope school authority will conduct revision in 宵夜街 soon, “ making it more tidy ,hygienic and introducing more competitive restaurant to here.” Kent urged.

As China on four wheels: What May Happen to Taiwan When China Selling Cars to World Wide ( final revision)

       In 2013 Geneva Motor show, besides fancy sport and concept cars, what really catches attendees eyes is Qoros, a new automaker founded by China Chery and Israel Corporation, which aimed to sell Chinese cars competing with Western and Japanese counterparts. This means that China no longer merely produces cheap products. But for many Taiwanese car enthusiasts, they may wonder how these Chinese automakers will influence Taiwanese car industry, especially for Taiwanese indigenous brand, Luxgen?

       “So far, the impact is subtle” said Zong-Han Lee, a selling consultant who sells Chinese Geely motors in Taiwan. Until 2013, Geely only acquires about one percent market share. Lee explained this mainly arising from Taiwanese prejudice toward Chinese products and their preference. Taiwanese tends to focus on brands instead of cars performance, such as safety. Although Geely EC7(named Tobe M’way in Taiwan) has highly achieved European safety requirements, however it sells miserably when facing distinguished but relatively less safe Taiwanese peers. Taiwanese car industry are still under the shell of local market.

       However, Lee mentioned that due to long-lasted monopoly in cars market, Taiwanese automakers have gradually gone “far from international trend.” In contrast, however, many Chinese automakers have kept improving their quality to survive the competitive market in China. Such substantial difference makes it more unpredictable for the future of Taiwanese and Chinese automakers.

       Still, Chinese automakers are much to desire. For instance, Chinese automakers hardly show their uniqueness from other producers. They tend to mimic what is fashion, including exterior design and interior technology. Besides, after series of frustration in Europe, people can’t help questioning the reliability and quality of Chinese autos. On the other hand, however, Taiwanese automakers should also start take their Chinese opponent more seriously “Without doing so, cars made-in-Taiwan may be defeated severely” Lee added at last. 

Respond toward comments

        First of all, I would like to say thank you for those who regards my article highly and for those who points out drawbacks. All your opinions, no matter praise or criticize, help me write better.

        For many readers has suggested me to put more specifically about Chinese and Taiwanese car industry by, for example, comparing the " the pros and cons of Chinese and Taiwanese cars". To this point, I admit that it is necessary for me to clarify my thoughts and examples I chosen in more detail since not everyone knows a lot about Taiwanese car industry, let alone understanding the outside challenge from mainland China. However, it is not likely that I compare Chinese and Taiwanese cars from product to product. After all, the title of my article is about the whole industry chains instead of a driving report of few cars.

       Thus, I change several sentence at the bottom paragraph two and put in more adjective to make more clear. There are also several mistakes in sentence form that may distract my readers from getting my gist. Besides, I added " Taiwanese cars are still under the shell of local market" to make the transaction between paragraph two and three more smoothly. Then by this revision, I think I have made my angle  clear enough that I don't have to put more comparison in Chinese and Taiwanese car industry, which may make my structure redundant.
