Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
My initial impression of this article is that it is credible and very intuitive. The article has a lot of concrete data that makes the article seem very credible. There are also many charts and graphs in the middle of the article, which are categorized by year and by commodity, giving the reader a very concrete impression of the impact of COVID-19 on international trade. This article can provide me with a lot of useful information, such as grouping by year, the situation of international trade before COVID-19 and the changes in international trade after COVID-19. That's why I chose this article, which is the right length and informative.

Evaluate the article
In this article, the sentence structure is very tight. It is divided into different sections, each of which is discussed in a different way, and the content is very detailed and credible with subheadings to summarize the content of the section.

The content of the article is very close to the topic, and the date of publication is March 10, 2022, which is a very new article. I don't think this article is really critical because it doesn't just analyze the volume of international trade in commodities and gives a brief forecast of the future. Everyone may have different ideas about this part, but the article discusses it in a very pertinent manner. There is no bias towards one side of the issue, but rather a very moderate and fair view of the social environment and the real COVID-19 situation. The citation format in the article is also very strict, with notes under specific terms to explain the meaning and origin of the words, and I have checked the different links, and the content is very credible. The layout of the article dictates that it is very easy to read and understand, with each diagram followed by a corresponding explanation underneath, enhancing the sense of connection to the topic of the article and highly in line with the main idea of the article. At the end of the article there is the author's contact information, which shows that they are very open to new ideas and suggestions and makes the reader feel valued. So the readers' comments on the article are very good. And at the end there are recommendations for other articles with related content to add to what they may not have mentioned, which is very thoughtful.

Overall I think this article is perfect for my Topic, but I can't just read this one article because it keeps analyzing the difference in international trade of commodities before and after the epidemic, but I also want to look at this issue from more angles such as politics, because China's attitude towards the epidemic is a lot different from that of the US, so this article may not take into account the political factors that lead to the analysis. This article may not have taken into account the political factors that led to the lack of diversity in the analysis of the issue.
