I intend to publish an article on an English journal. The reviewer replied and pointed out a grammatical error in one sentence. I rewrote it and could you help me to check it please?

(in Abstract)
Finally, after analysing the questionnaire and interview data, we summarize the elements of video that test-takers really pay attention to and the functions of those elements.

"Finally, after analysing the questionnaire and interview data, we summarize the elements of video that test-takers really pay attention to and the functions of those elements."

Perhaps one of the following - in my opinion:
1/ summarized:
2/ elements of a video: in case you're mentioning a random video, the indefinite article is needed ("the" if it is a particular video)

For a concise introduction/statement, consider,

"Students should choose whether to study global news."

Others I can come up with:

"The student must ultimately decide whether to study global news."
"Students are entitled to a choice in deciding to study global news."

proud of his hands - Is the grammar of this sentence wrong?

I am proud of his hands, for they have remained sturdy throughout vicissitudes of life, but I also cannot be ashamed of mine.

I think it should be 'the vicissitudes'
Also, remember that the sentence should make sense if you remove commas surrounding the dependent clause.
It looks grammatically correct but it doesn't seem to flow very well. I would maybe try wording it slightly differently.

Hope this helps and sorry if it doesn't.

I'd suggest changing "however" to "likewise," or something that agrees with rather than disagrees with the previous sentence.

Colors are an important part of our lives!

Color is a part of all of our lives. Each color conceals a story. Whithout color life could be so boring and plane. Just white and black. You can also express yourself through color.

Yes, you should have told us the purpose of this writing this line.

Color is a part of all of our lives.

Colors play an important role in our lives.

Each color conceals a story.

Each color depicts a story. or Each color reveals a story.

WhithoutWithout colors life could be so boring and planeplain.

Without colors the life would be so boring and plain.

Just white and black. You can also express yourself through color.

.... I think you better remove that sentence as it disturbs your flow.
Through colors, one can express himself.
