   In the article “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’ Requirements”, it introduces the functionality, features, and benefits of GPS Insight, which primarily provides “asset and vehicle tracking solutions”. The main function of GPS Insight is to retrieve and relay back data collected to the user for analysis, all while happening in real time.

To be able to meet user’s ever-changing demands and requests, GPS Insight introduces new features based on user’s response and feedback.

  1. Thank you for this effort, Peng Wee (or should I call you Aaron?). You have a discernible focus on GPS Insights. What is the greatest weakness in this essay is the lack of a controlling idea, or focus. Your thesis, if it is the following sentence, doesn't provide that:

    I agree with the article on “GPS Insight Can Meet ‘Out-of-The-Box’, in terms of the specifications and features. It will benefit present and future user. As it mentioned that new features are put in place to meet the demand and response of the user.

    If the last sentence above is the thesis, then I expect to read more directly about how a set of features are built into this product " to meet the demand and response of the user." But I don't have that sense from reading the supporting body paragraphs. You need to do a better job of being direct about controlling the flow of your ideas and connecting what follows in the supporting paragraphs with what you present in the thesis.
