Why did my instructor mark this wrong?
Hello, I migrated to the Boston, USA as visa student from Hong Kong 3 years ago and I think my language skills in the English language are okay.
However, when I submitted my essay, the instructor marked the following wrong?
"Despite all my struggles, I still did not draw too good"
- the instructor circled "good", why?
and also
"If you hire me, your sure to be amazed at my abilities"
- why was "your" also circled?
The instructor took off several marks unfairly.

Also, Boston does not take "the."
"The instructor took off several marks unfairly." We would say, "the in
