The two common letters I'd nudge toward better clarity are lower-case b (looks like a loopy l followed by an e in this sample), and lower-case o (which isn't connecting clearly at the top).
Also capital I (i, capitalized) looks a bit like the cursive numeral 2 in this sample...
I realize it's standard for many people to start every word at the baseline (and end every word at the midline), but I think this rule creates confusion around your w. Just start it at the midline (and make sure it doesn't dip down too far at the right end), and it will look less like an n or m (see the "with" in "struggle with" to see what I mean about looking too much like an m).

Ohh, I see, thank you so much! So I gotta connect letters more and be careful about where letters start

consistent main slant and connective slant always helps. your w is consistently not slanted. basic formation of the letters would help too; like closing 'o' and a' so they don't read as 'u'. your r is reading like an n. Your capital 'I' (i) is written almost like a capital 'L'. Raise the connective stroke when needed and get rid of the loops; for example the 'b' in 'but' makes it read as 'leut,' and 'advance' reads as 'adieance' but missing a dot on the i. As another person mentioned, using an exemplar would help resolve all of these.

Your writing is legible and specific advice for improvement would depend on what exemplar you're aiming for.
Here's Champion's lesson on w and Zaner's lesson on x. Both manuals will have all the letters, I'm just linking both so you have two explanations available.
