Hi,
Please have a look at the following paragraph:
| Quote: |
| The country has adopted the policy of boosting its developed parts as greatly as possible, while leaving underdeveloped parts under the mercy of rich nations. And if these rich nations see it quite foolish to go on sponsoring these areas when their own government doesn't care and decide to stop their aid, they would simply 'sacrifice' the unfortunate underdeveloped parts, so that in a few years to come, these will completely disappear, leaving a good country with only rich and buoyant parts. |
1. I wonder the language use in the bold part is correct, especially the preposition 'under' 2. What do you think about the language use in the whole paragraph? Does it sound natural and all right?
Thank you very much. _________________ Please help correct my mistakes whenever you see them. Many thanks :) |
