[Dear Sir/Madam , What do you think about my essay ? Please give me your advice ! This is a great website ! Please remove unwanted details that you don't need to know ! Thank you ! ]

Your essay is very informative and well-written but there is one problem that you may want to improve on, that is your essay is like a list of your different experiences and it dosen't flow well. You can add some words like "consequently", "later", "then" to make your essay flow. Good luck with your application!

Thank you so much for your feedback ! I will work on those mistakes !

Your essay is pretty okay but I feel you need to change it a little because I sort of lost interest in the middle. Make it less descriptive and more about you. Relate your stories to your goals. Good luck!

Thanks you 'nair' foe your feedback ! I agree with you !
