Recommended website for the class: https://www.usingenglish.com/quizzes/           We can find a lot of online websites about grammar practice or learning material. So, I will recommend one website that I think it is helpful and useful and will list several advantages about this website. First, UsingEnglish.com has an extensive collection of free English language quizzes so that you can practice various types in grammar and vocabulary as well. Secondly, the tests on the website has different levels for different learners, like beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Once you finish quizzes, you will receive a score. And the answer keys are also available. For example, when learning about adjectives and adverbs , you can choose to do some exercises about individual words or about the position of adverbs in a sentence. The last one is that there are also many quizzes on vocabulary so that you can speak and write in English not only...

1.       Tell us the frequency of apartment and flat in BNC and COCA and the differences between these two words, if any. As you can see, these two pictures show that the frequency of “apartment” in COCA is 37398 and BNC is 1221. Therefore, we can know that the word “apartment” is more common in American English. Also, the pictures can indicate that the word “apartment” in American English is used in newspaper more often, and is used in advertisement in British English. Because we can see that the frequency of “apartment” in BNC showed 100 search results, and just 35 outcomes are about newspaper, while 65 results are about advertisement.         From these pictures, we can find that the frequency of “flat” in COCA is 27148, and in BNC is 8069. Although the amount in COCA is more than in BNC, we can compare them with the previous result and find that the frequency of “flat” is higher than “apartment” in B...

Light's quiz is really interesting because this can let me know more about a brand and its background. I can understand some relations between the brand and its country. Before taking this small and fun quiz, I don’t know where this or that brand comes from. But, after doing these simple questions from Light’s JQuiz, I know more about some brands, especially about their country. At first, I just know some brands are from Europe, and some are from the United States or Asia. But now, I know more about these brands.

1.       Please show us the differences between anyway and any way by COCA through collocation and/or KWIC. Expanded context: (anyway) Fifty-four years ago, it was a racist white woman and a Jamaican man got together -- I know, weird combination.  Anyway , they got together, and they had Stephanie Rose Rick, which is me. " Expanded context: (any way) I've seen some of the stories you are talking about around this election and personally I think the idea that fake news on Facebook, of which it's a very small amount of the content, influenced the election in  any   way  is a pretty crazy idea. As you can see, from the results and examples above, the word “anyway” is usually used as an adverb. As for the phrase “any way”, it is more like a noun phrase, not an adverb. From the first expanded context, “anyway” is a transition word. Therefore, when we use the word “anyway”, that expresses a change of manners of spea...
