How about helping with writing an Introduction for a Journal Article in APA style.

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Thanks for the suggestion. I teach academic writing but not at that level, so it's not something that I am familiar enough with at the moment.

[@theodoraenyaah9701]

Please my question is how to write an article for publication in my school magazine on the topic students should cultivate the habit of reading.

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Not sure but it sounds like you need to write a short argumentative piece. Try to think about what your readers already know and what information would help them agree with you.

[@azeezafolabi8343]

Merits and demerits, and Pros and cons can also be used?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Pros and cons can be used. We don't use "merits and demerits" in this meaning.

Mam I have need 2 question about this topic and some ideas share please

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Hello, Sorry but I didn't understand your question.

[@tychen1978]

When I talk about advangtages, can I use 'upside' ? Do you recommend ?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

Yes, you can use 'upside'! I didn't mention it in the video because it's not as common as the other synonyms that I included. We use it more in speaking and not as much in writing.

[@tychen1978]

@@LearnAcademicEnglish 'downside' is common in writing though?

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

@@tychen1978 Yes. Upsides and downsides are a bit more informal than the other words, but I feel like I see the word downsides more often than upsides. We can use them in writing but as I said, they are a bit more informal than the other words.

Hi dear professor, "The decline of in-person movie attendance has led to the closing down of many theaters." I think it's a verbal noun, but the structure is "lead to+noun" and "lead to+gerund" as well as "close down" is a noun and a verb. I looked it up in various dictionaries. I didn't find any word related to "closing down". It should be written like this "......has led to the close down of many theaters." Could you make me understand this structure.

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

In my opinion, this structure is expected because I think it's lead to + gerund. To close down is a phrasal verb, so "the closing down" is a gerund. It is not common to use the article 'the' before a gerund, but it can occur in some situations when it's referring to something specific.

[@Nicolas-7572]

@@LearnAcademicEnglish I got you. If I omit "the", is it fine too??
