Explanation of the Problem

Solution/Correction/Strategy

IENs are discriminated by

patients and patients families
because of the countries they
come from, culture
differences, and the language
they speak. (Project #3
Introduction)

Because differences is a
noun in this sentence, so
instead of culture, cultural
should be the adjective to
describe the noun behind it.

IENs are discriminated by

patients and patients families
because of the countries they
come from, cultural
differences, and the language
they speak.

It is a very serious problem

that patients cannot clear
understand their conditions
explained by IENs. (Project
#3 body paragraph)

According to grammar, all the

words in front of verb that
describe verb should be
adverb. In my sentence,
clear is an adjective and
cannot describe understand.
I should change clear to
clearly to make my
sentence making sense.

It is a very serious problem

that patients cannot clearly
understand their conditions
explained by IENs.
