According to the first column on the left, you should study items according to this guide:  Simple errors.  Repeated errors. 
A third error of same type.
 More than three errors of a type.  We will review these in our sessions.

Dear Ida,
       I have seen you around campus and hope all is well.  Here is a resource you may find useful. 
The errors we found in your work are indicated and the resource material is provided to remedy these weaknesses.  You write relatively well and seem to have a sophisticated grasp of the language. 
Once you master these areas regarding rules, customs, and grammar... your work will become more professional and polished.  Here are some special Pronoun Exercises you may find particularly useful. 
If I can be of assistance in the future, you have my contact information.
