I based my job on APA and MLA styles and I learnt (oh, well, I think I learnt :) many useful things.
Here I paste the job I did.

APA STYLE:
- paraphrase a part of the article + in-text citation:
According to the Bretton Woods Project (2004), the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the IMF, made a report describing the role of the International Monetary Fund in managing the Argentine debt crisis for the decade from 1991 to 2001.
The IEO said that the crisis has done sizeable damage to the Fund's reputation: the IEO associated the damage with inappropriate policies, and created a perception that the IMF lacked in dealing with member countries, and put its role in signalling sound policy environments into question.
- summarize a part of the article + in-text citation:
IEO argeued that (as cited in the Bretton Woods Project, 2004) IMF in the pre-crisis period severly lacked surveillance. The Fund provided economic suggestion wich appeared not right and provided economic solutions that the government of Argentina did not accept.
The Fund did not control the policies which were activated in that period and chose "to endorse the exchange rate regime itself".
IEO also said the the majority of problems that caused the economic crisis was due to the refusal of the government to accept the rate regime variable and proposes a stronger control in the near future.
- choose a direct quotations from the article + in-text citation:
In accordance with the Bretton Woods Project, IEO, on the Fund's handling of the Argentine crisis in 2001, argues that "repeated attempts to use the same strategy when it was evident that it had failed."
- write the bibliographic reference that comes at the end of a paper:

2008, from http://worldbanks.com

I didn't find many differences between APA and MLA styles. The first thing I noticed is the fact that MLA style is more specific about the references we put in a text.
I learnt also the importance of the two styles. It is very important to know the different ways for writing references and it is also important to know that there are many information within a text. As I said, one of the easiest ways to avoid plagiarism is to know how to do it and now I can say that Apa and MLA style are very useful!
