Hello,

I'm sorry I have to bother you again. I don't have an answer key for this exercise.

What's wrong with this sentence?

"The effort involves in sharing our experience and discussing how technology can reduce environmental problems like the haze.

Thank you,

Nawee

It should be, 'The effort involves sharing............'

Nawee,

Hi. I want to tell you something. You shouldn't feel the need to apologize
for asking help. That is why everyone is here. You're here to
get help with English and we're here to help you.

And also, in your question, I'd like to add something else...

the second half of your sentence should read:
"~~~~can reduce environmental problems like Haze."

You don't want "the haze". Just "haze", and I think it should
be capitalized.

Take care.

I agree with the last comment except for the capitalisation of haze. Why would you want to capitalise a common noun like that?
