Dear Marina,
I think this text is a a little confuse.I could not see , clearly, your thesis statement. Did you want to talk about the learning process or the teaching one?
The sentence: A person is a person and that independes of the learning process sounds very strange. WHy not saying: students are different and it has to be taken into consideration....
I think you didn´t develop the stages you mentioned, the beginning and the advanced. As a reader I coul not see very clerly the organization of your text, as it was so emphasized by the teacher: Introduction. development and conclusion. It is a process analysis essay. So you were expected to inform about the steps or to direct instructions so as any person could perform them.
Bye Bye.
