    In “Made in Italy”: What is behind the Worldwide Famous Label?, Annalisa Girardi, journalist, says that the label still enjoys great popularity and attracts sophisticated customers wordwide. Italy has coped with many crisis in the past and even the low-cost producers in Asia. Gucci ranks first followed by the other luxury brands.

    Nevertheless, “Made in Italy” faces problems such as expensive labour in Italy, which forces companies to produce abroad by cutting costs.

    However, a law passed by the new Government states that it is no longer allowed to use “Made in Italy” when producing abroad.

    Research has shown that Chinese immigrants work under poor working conditions in Italy which is legal. “Made in Italy” only considers that the production takes place in Italy regardless of the nationality of the workers.

    Well done Sandra:

    ✅ you used your own words

    ✅ you identified the main idea

    ✅ you found relevant ideas & omitted irrelevant details

    ✅ you kept the meaning the same

    ✅ you used attributive tags

    ✅ you kept your opinion out of it

    Let’s have a look at some corrections:

    > Italy has coped with many crisis – you can either say

    Italy has coped with many A crisis or Italy has coped with many crises

    I suggest this change to make the first paragraph more fluid:

    In “Made in Italy”: What is behind the Worldwide Famous Label?, Annalisa Girardi, journalist, says that the label still enjoys great popularity and attracts sophisticated customers wordwide. Gucci, for example, ranks first followed by (delete ‘the) other luxury brands.

    Yet, Italy has coped with many crises in the past including the low-cost producers in Asia.
