Hello, my name is Jordan. I live in the US state of Michigan. I'm learning Korean but have made little progress so far besides learning to read Hangul. I would like to make international friends! I'm happy to chat with you in English.

    Hi Viola! I've scoured the website containing the reference you want to cite. Based on my searching, I believe that there is no volume number associated with the reference. It appears to have only been published online, and as a single theses. The website published it, but did not include it in any anthologies or collections. This should be okay, because APA style only requires a volume number if one exists. As long as you include the DOI it should be fine! The second part of your question, about "International Peer Reviewed Journal." That is a part of the title of the journal, so it would be "Arab World English Journal: International Peer Reviewed Journal." They do not include the entire thing in their suggested citation, and you shouldn't have to include it for APA either. Just the first part, "Arab World English Journal" should be enough.

    Some universities offer their courses on the Internet. Is this a positive or negative development?

    It is clear that many universities have been increasingly providing access to online courses. I think that this is an advancement and that online courses provide more people with learning opportunities.
    I believe that online courses expand educational opportunities for people across the world. Firstly, <s>students or adult learners</s> students of all ages (a student is a student regardless of age--if you want to express how different aged students benefit, "students of all ages" is more inclusive) can access quality courses provided by prestigious universities wherever they <s>locate</s> live. (You could also technically write "wherever they are," but ending sentences in a preposition should be avoided in formal writing) <s>A good</s> As an/A good example would be that many young people in developing countries can attend courses offered by Harvard University and they can earn official degrees. It will advance their future career path. Secondly, <s>the</s> online courses are relatively cheap compared to traditional courses offered at <s>the</s> universities. Learners do not need to stay close<s>d</s> to the educational institutions, which saves money <s>to</s> from commuting and accommodating themselves. Students in low-income countries can afford to study through <s>the</s> online courses.
    Furthermore, <s>the</s> online courses allow adults to continue studying while working. For instance, <s>the</s> online courses give<s>s</s> <s>the flexibility</s> adult learners the flexibility to attend <s>the</s> courses and study <s>on</s> at their own pace<s>s</s> after <s>their</s> work<s>s</s> or on the weekend. These universities often provide diverse types of courses, which meet the learning needs of working adults. It can save <s>much</s> time for those who do not have time to commute and physically attend courses.
    I understand that some people argue that <s>the</s> online courses have limitations. For instance, some students expect to have lively discussions with teachers and other students and build a relationship. I think, however, many courses overcome this drawback by using Webex or Zoom, which are interactive video conference applications.
    In conclusion, I think that the development of online courses enables youth and adults to access quality education and study at any place with a low cost.


    Really really great, Momoko! Just a few small things and wording choices.
    "It can save much time for those who do not have time to commute and physically attend courses."
    The word "much" technically works here but sounds strange. You can either remove it, or if you still want to express how a lot of time is saved, you could use "valuable."
    "It can save valuable time for those who do not have time to commute and physically attend courses."

    Let me know if I can explain anything more clearly!

    Hi Hernandez! Both the sentences are technically correct. However, the ones that use "all" sound more natural. You could also replace "whole" with "entire." "The entire American media is talking about this." "The Catholic Church's entire leadership needs reforming." I hope this helps!

    I agree, but think "enemies" is a bit of a strong word. Everyone has opinions and beliefs though, and not everyone can agree with one another. Having people disagree with you proves you have an opinion. If you never disagree with anyone it means you have no strong feelings to agree or disagree about. Having strong feelings builds character, otherwise what are you living for?

    Nice to meet you!*my closed stranger. <s>first,</s>I am so sorry <s>that</s> to bother <s>u</s> you so late. <s>Now. it</s> It is now close<s>d</s> to 12 pm in China. Actually, I know <s>u</s> you are a little bit interested in Chinese <s>by</s> because of the italki app. *emm
    I,<s>actually</s> a native Chinese speaker, sincerely want to make a friend with <s>u</s> you. And I really hope that we can improve our language skills/ability by chatting with each other. that's all. After reading what I type, you may think *"you're poor in the expression of English." Of course, I mean <s>it's</s> that's the reason that I want to <s>do now!at once!</s> improve!
    Lol~contact <s>with</s> me! Please!

    *I'm unsure what you mean with this line, so I don't know how to correct it. I think you could remove it entirely.

    *The English you've written is very informal and conversational. Because of that, I'm guessing that you're using "emm" as a filler or hesitation marker. If this is the case, "umm" or "uh" would be more common to use in English.

    *If you are writing what you are guessing the reader is thinking about your English, you should use quotation marks as an indication. Otherwise you could just write "After reading what I type, you may think <s>you're</s> I'm poor in the expression of English." Additionally, instead of "the expression of English" you could just write "you may think my English is poor." The "expression" of the language is implied through the context of your notebook.

    Let me know if I can explain anything more clearly!

    *Everyone, suggest me. <s>Novel reading habit is</s> Reading novels as a habit can improve writing and <s>know</s> teach new vocabulary. Read regularly in your free time, especially in the evening or before bed. <s>That</s> These types of <s>your</s> habits will definitely <s>will</s> increase your overall skills.

    *I'm unsure what you're trying to convey with this sentence. If you're asking for novel suggestions, you can write "Everyone, please recommend novels/a novel for me." If you want the reader to know that the following sentences are your opinion, you can write "Everyone, this is my suggestion."

    Dear diary

    It's been a good day. I went *to the street and printed the materials for the next English class. Twenty one copies cost fifteen yuan. It's a little expensive. <s>And</s> I'm lucky to learn Harry Potter with my Russian teacher tonight. She only accepts Russian students later, but she said I can book her lessons <s>all the</s> any time. I have learned a lot of new words from Harry Potter, *<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);">hang in there</s>.I would like teachers from Pakistan and Iran to teach me Harry Potter as well.


    *I think using "I went out" instead of "I went to the street" would sound more natural. So, "I went out [from home] and printed the materials for the next English class."

    *This could be completely removed. But if you want to express your persistence, you could make it a single sentence. "I'm hanging in there!"
