Hello,
Would you be kind enough to tell me the grammar mistakes in the rewritten text?
Thanks a lot.
Original text from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
The study attributes some of China's preparedness to the fact that the country's citizens, well-know for their saving habits, are accustomed to socking their money away. While China has the highest expectancy of state-reliance for retirement, with 40% expecting to lean on government pension plans, additional saving for retirement has just become a way of live, the study said.
Rewritten text from my poor English:
The study attributes some of China's actuality to Chinese habit of saving money, they are famous for their saving. As China has the highest national reliance expectation on retirement, 40% of the people wish to depend on government pension plans, but saving for retirement has also become a way of life.

Evening,
Original text from THE WALL STREET JOURNAL:
The study attributes some of China's preparedness to the fact that the country's citizens, well-know for their saving habits, are accustomed to socking their money away. While China has the highest expectancy of state-reliance for retirement, with 40% expecting to lean on government pension plans, additional saving for retirement has just become a way of live (surely a typo?), the study said.
