. 1)Let me know if commercial reason makes valuable this trip of Susan to Hulunbeir.-- This sentence is ill-formed. However, it is just an inverted form of:
Let me know if business makes this trip to Hulunbeir valuable to Susan. = The trip has business value.
2)Children Make Valuable Mobile Phone Users.-- Children are important cellphone customers.
So I think your understanding of both sentences is accurate. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |
