Putri, your essay is so grammatically incorrect that the whole essay failed to make sense on a professional level. You need to sound less ESL and more professional. It severely affected the presentation of your networking skills because your presentation sounds like a bad English grammar exercise for an English learner student. It does not deliver the proper tone nor representation of your networking skills, how it can be useful to Chevening, and how you maintain and grow this network. You have the potential to showcase a usable Chevening network, the problem is in the grammatical presentation of your essay.

You may want to showcase how the exchange of networking privileges occur in this instance. Did you ever end up helping anyone from your network? Why did you need to help and how did you do it? You also need to explain how Mr. XXXX became instrumental in growing your network. By the way, if none of the people you mention in this essay will be your referee, it will be best not to mention their names as they will not be able to attest to the validity of your claims regarding your strengths as an employee, student, or acquaintance.
