Kosa la kawaida:
Learners often confuse "autobiography" with "biography". An *autobiography* is written by the person about their own life, while a *biography* is written by another person. Learners may also mix up "autobiography" and "memoir"; a memoir usually focuses on part of a life or on special experiences, not necessarily the whole life story.
