Glad you found the feedback helpful. No worries about the time: if you wrote this in 25 minutes, you should be able to complete a fully essay within the limit. I don't mind if you use First, Second, Third, etc when you are writing. My problem was with the sentence fragments that each of these words ...

Glad to help. You mostly emphasized the difference in costs between the two industries, and I only saw an explicit statement about comparing the two industries once at the beginning of the essay. You can keep those examples about costs, just make it more clear that you can't compare apples to orange...
