        	        	<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Katiss,</p>
<p>Well done!</p>
<p>I think your essay is well-organised with a wide range of vocabulary and complex structures. However, I just want to mention a few points:</p>
<p>I think in your introduction, you don't have a thesis sentence which summarize what you are going to do in the main body paragraphs. This may cause confusion to the readers.</p>
<p>Your conclusion might me off-topic. In my opinion, the conclusion should summarize the idea of the essay.</p>
<p>There are also some mistakes relate to grammar and word choice. Here is my edition:</p>

Some people prefer to be self-guided and explore on their own. They may choose to visit places frequented by locals, like markets or local restaurants.

<p> </p>
