I feel so fucking embarrassed. I don't know why I didn't put half the things he put in there even though I knew them. When he sent the text back to me it made so much more sense. He also had a couple of hours to read and make corrections, while I spent much more time.
How do I become a better reader and a better writer, friends? I'm tired of being humiliated in the academy. I don't know if it's because I'm just being lazy and not reading the texts properly, or maybe because I'm not writing all the author's points down. All I know is that when I read what I write after some time I just feel disgusted. All the paragraphs are so simple and bleak, they barely give any good information.
Sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language.
