  3. i think nguyet has already given you specific comments for grammartical mistakes. however, there are still some things that i hope you will consider:

    1. too much functions => too many functions
    2. follow these following steps => it can be replaced by "follow these simple steps" to avoid repeating words.
    3. the font. may you fix the font so it could be easy to follow (with the same size).

    just some minor comments. overall, you did a good job with this !
