I grew up speaking English with a nice Midwestern dialect. I learned Spanish in high school and improved it a lot when studying and working in Chile and Argentina. I've also studied in China, but my Mandarin is in pretty rough shape these days. My goal of moving to the UAE to study Arabic turned out to be a bit of a failure (everyone here speaks English!) so the latest project is studying French. But my real mission on this site is to speak with people who have many different first languages in order to refine my knowledge of accent modification. All ESL accents start with the native language, so it's fascinating for me to see the first language's effects on a non-native speaker's accent. I'm also happy to offer a few tips on pronunciation along the way. And you can always visit my website, absentaccent.com, for more lessons and pronunciation tips.

    You could say either "China's chemical industry" (because you're talking about the chemical industry that belongs to China) or "the Chinese chemical industry" (I would prefer this option as it sounds more formal). The definite article "the" is required because there is only one Chinese chemical industry. Similarly, I would talk about "the Brazilian beef industry" or "the Indian tea industry". However, if you were talking about only one company in the industry, you would say "a Chinese chemical company". This is because there are many companies and you'd only be talking about one. I hope that makes sense.

    It could be replaced with "causes".... it's the sense that the law is creating/enlarging the demonstrations. In the same way that you pour fuel on a fire to make it bigger, you "fuel" something by making it bigger. Here are a few similar examples. The protests were fueled by the governor's decision to pardon the convicted felon. The president decided not to sign the free trade agreement, fueling the anger of conservatives. Fueled by their rage, the university students set fire to the dean's office.

    I'll do the first paragraph :) 


    Reasons Why People Migrate
    In recent years, migration has become popular around the world. Nowadays, more and more people, especially plenty of intellectuals, are choosing to live in a developed foreign country. At the same time, with the development of economic globalization, people have more chances to come into contact with other countries. Consequently, the world becomes smaller and smaller. It is easier to travel around the world. However, what motivates people to move from their hometowns to a strange place to start their new lives?

    The reasons vary from person to person. But they still have some in common with each other. They can be classified as economic, political and social:

    In addition to what Michael said about adverbs, I think that we emphasize the "be" verbs in spoken English by stressing them. By "stressing" I mean that we say it slightly longer and louder than the other words in the phrase. -You're not a native Spanish speaker, are you? -Yes I AM a native speaker. -I didn't see Khalid at the party. -Well he WAS at the party.
