Activities
- An academy is usually a place where you would go to train or learn something specific such as police training or dance. An institution is pretty much the same thing. In the UK, college is usually for students aged 16-18 or 17-19 where they would study a 2 year, level 3 diploma. University in the UK is where students go from age 18+ for a 3 or 4 year degree. In the US, college and university mean the same thing (3 year degree from age 18+). They stay in high school until they are 18 years of age unlike the UK, where students leave at 16 and can choose to study further or go straight into a job. Good luck with your learning! :)0 votedFebruary 22, 20180
CORRECTION:
This is my first composition here!
This is the first article I've written here. I think writing notebook entries might be a good way to help me learn English. I am now studying in my second year of my masters degree in big data. I used www.grammarly.com to help me with correction of my mistakes, but I'm not sure if it is any good or not!
My main focus at the moment is school, learning Python and Java coding. I am new to the programming world so sometimes I can get quite frustrated. I really hope that I can get a good job after I graduate. I don't even have time to go window shopping or hang out with friends anymore. Some say that being a student is quite nice, but at the same time you have to realize that you don't have much money or time for fun. Also, there is a lot of stress from school, but I think I should try to cherish all the stages of my life. I can only be a masters student once right?
Hi Alice - You did well here, but try not to use any grammar check websites. They use automatic tools to correct grammar and they are not very accurate. You will learn much better if you try to correct things yourself :)
Good luck!

For most people, it is human nature to judge a person by his/her appearances, their social status, how successful they are or even where they come from. However, from many of my personal experiences, I start to find that this evaluation standard does not stand the test of time. When I was younger, I also chose my friends according to these same set of rules; however, the more people I meet, the more I realize the truth. And (no comma after "and") then, I find the saying "Never judge a book by its cover" to be very true. I have several friends who are really glamorous (no "ly" needed) looking or have a really good social status. At the same time, I'm also friends with several gay people and even some with minor mental health problems. ("minor mental issues" can sound very harsh and judgmental). The latter have been considered the weaker group of people in any given society; however, they (no comma needed) are often the ones who will be there for me when I'm in trouble or in need of help. It is then that I start to realize that these people are the "unpolished gems" to me and should be the ones whose friendship I cherish most. In the past, I have spent a lot (loads is very informal and only really used in the UK from my experience) of time trying to find these 'dazzling gems' to become friends with, now (no comma needed) that I realize these 'unpolished gems' are what I need more of in my life.Your written English is very very good! :) Good luck!

0 votedJuly 5, 20160I need to practice my English conversation skills.
I hope I will have a chance for an interview.
If I do get the chance, it may be in a few weeks so I urgently need to practice my spoken English.
Every time I talk, I just feel like my tongue is twisted and I forget all of the words that I have learned.
What should I do? - OR - How can I improve?
Can anyone help me?
Note: There are several different ways to say all of the sentences here. Native speakers will use the more common ways.Here I have written in a more formal style here for you.
