【录音原文】Revision of Essay DraftsGood morning, everyone. In today’s lecture, I'm going to talk about how to revise essay drafts and give you some tips as well.The initial revision should, of course, focus on the essay as a whole. You’d ask yourself—Do I reach my writing objective? Does my essay directly answer the question? Is my main idea clear?
