 Element produced for the iterable should be a **single** entry of data, **not** a mini batch. That entry of data could be a single item, or a tuple of items. Item should be of [supported type](http://www.paddlepaddle.org/doc/ui/data_provider/pydataprovider2.html?highlight=dense_vector#input-types) (e.g., numpy 1d array of float32, int, list of int)

 ## Q & A
 
 ### Why return only a single entry, but not a mini batch?
 
-If a mini batch is returned, data reader need to take care of batch size. But batch size is a concept for training, it makes more sense for user to specify batch size as a parameter for `train`.
+If a mini batch is returned, data reader creator need to take care of batch size. But batch size is a concept for training, it makes more sense for user to specify batch size as a parameter for `train`.
 
-Practically, always return a single entry make reusing existing data reader much easier (e.g., if existing data reader return not a single entry but 3 entries, training code will be more complex because it need to handle cases like batch size 2).

 ### Why use a dictionary but not a list to provide mapping?
 
 We decided to use dictionary (`{"image":0, "label":1}`) instead of list (`["image", "label"]`) is because that user can easily resue item (e.g., using `{"image_a":0, "image_b":0, "label":1}`) or skip item (e.g., using `{"image_a":0, "label":2}`).
