1. Jim and Ruby gave me many helpful advices on word chose and helped me to correct my grammar mistakes. Jim suggested changing NT$6 per kilogram’ to ‘NTD$6 /KG’. However I read related news before on the Taipei Times, and they write the price by the way ‘NT$6 per kilogram’, so I decided to fellow their way to describe the price.
2. I used the word like ‘some problems’ or ‘their expectancy’. Ruby suggested me to explain clearly about what did I actually means about ‘problems’ and ‘expectancy’. I had discussed more about what I wanted to express.
3. In paragraph three, Jim suggested me to shorter the last eight line to ‘the impact of this erroneous information has taken its toll on the price of banana and hence, the farmer’. He thought that annotation should depend on why I chose this article as annotation. But I wanted to explain my opinion toward this annotation clearly, so I didn’t shorter my annotation.
4. Jim gave me the information about writing the source information of news. I had tried to correct my mistake.

Power group’s misunderstand will strengthen the low status’ being exploit
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). DPP recently promoted an advertisement which focuses on the price of Taiwanese fruits. In this advertisement, DPP told people that the price of banana was only NT$2 pre kilogram. However, after reporters investigated, the real price of banana was three times higher than that of DPP’s handbill. Banana famers emphasized that the price of NT$2 per kilogram was in June. After the government adopted price adjustment measures and long-term monitoring mechanisms to help farmers deal with a surplus production of bananas; the problem about banana’s low price had been solved temporarily. Price today in the market was at least NT$15 pre kilogram. Banana famers are very worried that people would be confused by this advertisement and therefore misunderstand the price of banana was that low. One of the banana famers told the reporter that DPP could not used the price of inferior bananas as the price of the high- grade ones. This misunderstanding might impact banana’s price, and hence, innocent banana famers.
Power groups’ misunderstanding will influence the people in lower status. Farmers work so hard to cultivate fruit; however they could not decide the price by themselves. Famer knows fruit the most. They cultivate each kind of products, plants by their own hand and can discriminate the standard of the fruit. They should be the person who has the right to decide the price of their labor, but actually, they are not getting what they deserve. On the other hands, middlemen as power group decide the price of famers’ products. They buy farmers’ products at low price in large amount, the price may not equal to the efforts and prime cost that famers put in to their crops. Famers became cheap slaves to help middlemen earned money by their hard working.
In this news, the price that farmers sold to the middlemen was NT$6 per kilogram. However, the market price was NT$15 per kilogram. Although the government had try to raise the price, the famers still could not get profit from that ‘‘NT$15’ ’. Middlemen and the retail store got most of the benefits from the products; however, farmers’ diligence could not receive the reward they deserve. DPP here misunderstood the price of banana and thus pronounced a wrong advertisement. DPP is as power group who could influence people’s cognition toward price or different information; delivered the wrong information to people that may indirectly help middlemen to exploit the banana famers. People receive the low price in their knowledge and may want to buy the banana at that low price. If middlemen try to satisfy costumer’s expectancy, they must lower their prime cost by buying banana from famers in lower price. This exploit force the famers to sells their products in bad price and cannot earn enough money to prepare for their next cultivation. Power group’s exploit and misunderstand will finally cause the innocent farmers to be the victims.
