Hi [이름], here are the answers to some of your questions. I hope they help you comprehend the expressions better.

These are the feedback you wrote for the class on tuesday.
>> These are the feedback you wrote for the class on Tuesday./ These are the feedback you wrote for the class last Tuesday.
There\'s something I don\'t understand.
>> There are some things I don\'t understand.
1)the woman \"to\" the right is staring at a picture.
>> to the right , is it right?
>> If you want to lead the one listening to your answer look at the picture \'to the right side of the picture\' then that is correct. \'To\'and \'on the left side....\' are both correct.
2) The team is jelling well.
>> What does \"jelling well\" mean?
>> \'Jell well\' is commonly used in as a sports expression to mean taking shape and distinctiveness and becoming cohesive. In short, it means having a great team work.

3) A number of people are busy meeting in a room.
>> busy meeting in a room? is it okay? isn\'t it \"busy having a meeting?\"
>> \'Meeting\' in this phrase busy meeting in a room is a verb not a noun. While \'busy having a meeting\', \'meeting\' here is a noun.
>> We always assume that the picture \'is happening now\' so the expression \' busy meeting in a room\' because obviously they are having a meeting. We used the article \'a\' because we are not sure about what type of room it is so we do not say \'busy meeting in \"the\" room. Other wise we can say: The employees/ staff are busy meeting/ having a meeting in what seems to be a function room. To use \'busy having a meeting\' is correct. Dropping or removing \'having\' and say\' busy meeting in the room\' is with the same pattern with these sentences: \'busy eating\'- which could mean busy having a meal; busy solving- which means busy coming up with a solution; busy chatting- meaning having a conversation, etc. 
4) Some of them are analyzing.>> why is \"data\" not necessary after \"analyzing\"?
>> The word \'data\' when added makes the meaning more complete. This depends on the sentences you first said. For example: While the others are busy discussing, some are noting down. Some of them are analyzing.
>> But when the sentencesyou said first were more elaborate then: While the others are busy discussing with one another, some are noting down details. Some of them are analyzing data.
