Bridget's feedback:

"In this essay, you make good use of clear signposting by ensuring consistency in your labeling of the four issues. This allows the reader to quickly and easily see the structure of the discussion, which is key to comprehension and reader experience. This structure should definitely be carried into the next draft: think of it as the building frame. In the next draft, work within that frame; for example, use the existing phrase "These articles talk about..." to revise toward a more comprehensive statement about the purpose of the paper and the article titles and authors. You can also work within the body paragraphs to strengthen argumentation; one area that will need attention is avoiding the use of unsubstantiated generalizations (e.g., the opening sentence and "We all can see that a woman pilot can't be a very good mother"): the reader will tend to push back against these broad stereotypes and demand sources. The second issue (legal reforms) is currently spread across a few short paragraphs, making the discussion feel fragmented, and you will want to craft a conclusion. Finally, and once you've bolstered these higher-order elements, proofread to ensure both proper mechanics and clarity. Watch out for missing articles, e.g., " The first one is education.""
