Reflection of the writing and editing process

During this English course, I believe I have learnt many important skills in reading and writing English essays. For instance, I have revised English grammar with a better understanding. I have also learnt to analyze an essay prompt and summaries with general ideas in an essay. Moreover, I was taught to recognize features of academic writing and write in such form.
In terms of content, language and structure of academic writing, I believe I have improved on a few aspects. I was more aware of the tenses used while writing. It is also important to think critically to provide concise information and be aware of the main topic so that the topic sentence and main ideas is aligned as one.
In the next few weeks, I wish to know more about the good methodologies and habits of learning to read and write English essays, and the recommended learning sources besides nus library. I wish to continue my English learning in the future for a long time, therefore I think this is very important to me.  

By looking at the errors I have made in the previous essays, I think I have to improve the ability to fully understand passages. I think that it is crucial to obtain all the required information before critically answering to the questions. 

I have made all changes state in the comment. I was asked to rate my grade for content, organization and language.However , I am unsure about how accurate I was and comment as I cannot find any feedback of my grading.
In my perspective, audio and written feedback is a good way for me to correct my mistakes, as it has detailed explanations and guidance. I am sure that it would help if I had such comprehensive feedback in my other courses.
