    Hi Maria, this is summarised very well.

    ✅ 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

    Minimal corrections to make:

    Made in Italy is considered a worldwide brand, 👉a synonym of quality, authenticity and style. Despite being threatened by several international economic crisis and the increasingly low-priced goods coming from Asian economies, Italy ❗️has managed to remain ❌as the first exporter within European countries, attracting with brands such as Gucci and Prada, clients from all over the world.👉 word order makes this phrase a bit complicated.

    ❗️I would use the present perfect here instead of the past simple. Why do you think that would be better?
