According to Heater Timmons in the article, it seems that Tata Nano, the cheapest car in the world recently, has caused huge controversy as well as innovation. With the rapid development of technology and science, the quality of automobiles becomes much better. People used to spend a large amount of money purchasing high quality cars. However, the tiny, cheap and fuel-efficient vehicles grow to be much more popular around the world owing to the global economic recession and the awareness of environmental protection. The debut of Tata Nano especially causes the revolution of both automotive industry and people’s life in developing countries such as India. Moreover, the concept of the global market has changed since the Nano appears. Although Heater appears to disapprove of Nano, he still agrees the advantages it brings to the world market.

As far as I am concerned, the invention of Nano not only improves the way we transport but also provides us the new idea to think deeply. I approve of Nano because it is more convenient and greener than automobiles we drive now. Nano provides the chance for people who live in developed or poor countries moving on to cars instead of motorcycles and bicycles. Nevertheless, the influence of Nano on the world remains suspicion and uncertainty. As long as the flawless and safety standard is built, I believe that Nano will be a good solution for the decline of industry. It goes without saying that people will get confused and surprised about new inventions or revolutions in the beginning. The doubt will be eradicated if people give them more time. To sum up, we should keep positive attitude toward Tata Nano. (278 words)
