I think AI can improve education because students can get help immediately, but sometimes they depend on it too much.

Strong idea. A more natural phrasing would be:

“Students can receive immediate support, but excessive dependence on AI can reduce independent thinking.”

From academic exploration to a working learning system.

This prototype explores how artificial intelligence can support active English learning rather than simply provide answers.

The experience is built around a continuous practice cycle: attempt, analyze, explain, revise, and practice again. Each learning mode changes how the AI responds to the learner.

ACTIVE LEARNING Practice can happen anywhere.

The goal is not to replace practice with AI — it is to make every round of practice more informed.

Feedback that shows
what to improve next.

Instead of returning only a corrected answer, the system highlights patterns that learners can apply in future practice.

WRITING ANALYSIS 01

See the revision, and understand why.

ORIGINAL

Technology make people's life more convenient.

REVISED

Technology makes people's lives more convenient.

✓

Subject–verb agreement Singular “technology” requires “makes.”

✓

Natural plural usage “People's lives” is more natural in context.

READING STRUCTURE 02

Turn long sentences into visible structure.

Although technological progress has created unprecedented opportunities, its benefits have not been distributed equally across society.

01

Although... Concession / contrast

02

technological progress... Supporting clause

03

its benefits... Main argument
