Thank you very much. I'm
Thank you very much.
I'm trying to reduce at minimum my mistakes; could I ask you what should I improve, to gain better scores?
I guess it's about the use of discourse markers (0.571 is still low if compared to 0.7). I see I particularly lack in Sentence-Sentence Coherence, if I read correctly the report.
Thanks again,
Regards
