&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;The higher the price of a product, the better the quality is.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;Fine.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;The higher the price of a product, the quality is not necessarily the better. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;No. As you can see, the second part of your second sentence&amp;nbsp;does not follow the same pattern as in your first example. Say something lke this.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A higher price does not necessarily mean better quality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best wishes, Clive&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>The higher ... the better</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheHigherTheBetter/gcwhk/post.htm</link><pubDate>Wed, 14 May 2008 03:17:34 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:513393</guid><dc:creator>Liveinjapan</dc:creator><slash:comments>4</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/TheHigherTheBetter/gcwhk/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-513393.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>The higher the price of a product, the better the quality is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The higher the price of a product, the quality is not necessarily the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are my sentence correct?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks&lt;br /&gt;LiJ &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
