    Two major problems here:

    As a title, it was fine. Apart from the spelling of punctuation and the spelling of ”please”, all is correct. You don’t even have to mention ”English”. It’s implicit that ”native speakers” refers to those who speak English - the title is written in English!

    ”for the English native speakers” is used in some colloquial spoken dialects of American. ”the” does not get used in this context when introducing the idea of ”for English native speakers” - we don’t know which specific English native speaker you are referring to. Try using ”the” here when writing a SAT or GRE essay...

you provide the phrases, so use these, not the.

    I see that you had deleted the comment which I had responded to. You have also replaced your initial comment without indicating why you did it - especially after a comment had been made. How interesting...

    It’s still clear that you don’t understand the difference between a definite article such as ”the” and a referral like ”these”. As I had said before, both ”the” and ”these” are correct in the context given by the author - but with a change of meaning.

    So, you have edited something which is correct to something else with a different meaning. You could have made the case that ”these” is more commonly used in this instance than ”the” - but you obviously didn’t.

    Here’s your comment as it presently exists just in case it ”changes”:

    ”you provide the phrases, so use these, not the.”

    To you it might... Sure it can sound ”more natural” if you are using a syntactical structure learnt by rote without actually understanding why it is used.

    Both ”these” and ”the” sound completely natural to me because both get used according to grammatical context and I have been significantly exposed to both.

    Hint: you might want to actually understand the difference between a referral such as ”these” and a definite object like ”the”.
