Hello!
Your lines are good for the most part, although there are some wobbly ones. Remember that right now you should prioritize confidence over accuracy, the later will come with time!
You did great on the perspective exercises! Although for the organic perspective one it would have been better if you drew the boxes closer to the viewer bigger, and the ones that are far away, smaller.
As for the ellipses, you drew through them too many times! Remember that the exercise said to draw through each ellipse only 2 or 3 times. You should ghost them as much as you need to, before drawing them.
Next Steps:
I think that you should do one page of the table of ellipses and one page of the funnel exercise again, making sure you ghost them as much as you need, until you feel confident enough so you draw through them only 2 or 3 times. Good luck!

A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
