The author, Friedrich Engels was born in Germany but, his father was manufacturer and his father’s factory was in Manchester. He worked as his father’s agent in Manchester so that he experienced all bad working conditions.
Manchester became most popular industrial city in the world because Manchester had number of advantages from their geography. For example, Manchester was close to the Atlantic port of Liverpool, the water power of the Pennine mountain chain, and the coal mines of central Lancashire.
It seems like good to be industrial city but, it had lots of bad effects behind. Most parts of Manchester had poor conditions of dwelling. Streets were very narrow and winding so that two or more people couldn’t go together at the same time. And it was very dirty for people. You could easily see the piles of debris, the refuse, filth, and offal on the street. The workers in Manchester had to live with all these kind of dirt. If you just look what they have done, it looks wonderful but, all workers achieved succeed in industrial with terrible working condition.

wut working conditions were terrible?
where is manchester?
1) Most of houses in Manchester were dirty and they were too close to eachother becuase the streets in Manchester were too narrow. It wasn't a good condition to live. After hard work in factory, they didn't feel good at their homes.
Factory- terrible
home - not so good.....
2) Manchester is in UK. And it is next to Liverpool so, it was close to the port of Liverpool.
east of Liverpool(35 miles)
West of Sheffield(38.8 miles)
very close to Bolton(15.7 miles) and Oldham(7.2miles)
Sang Hag, you seemed to give a good report on living in Manchester during this time and how poor the living conditions were. However, you needed to include, in your summary, the purpose of the article and why John Engels wrote it. Make sure you include the context in which the article is written next time, without it, the purpose of the article is unclear. Also, be mindful of the spelling and grammatical errors.
7/10
p.s. I liked you answers to Vlad's questions.
