+Koa is a middleware framework that can take 3 different kinds of functions as middleware:
 
   * common function
   * async function
   * generatorFunction
 
-Here we write an logger middleware with different function.
+Here is an example of logger middleware with each of the different functions:
 
 ### Common function
 
 ```js
-// Middleware normally take two parameters (ctx, next), ctx is the context for one request,
-// next is an function that is invoked to execute the downstream middleware. It returns a Promise with a then function for running code after completion.
