I agree with the other answer, that asking for a single area of improvement is a great idea, as it takes the pressure off and focuses on your hunger to improve.

In addition, I would suggest that you really need to get feedback from more than one person, as writing and reading is so subjective you need a range of opinions to get a sense of where there are genuine areas that could benefit from rewriting and which things are just someone's personal taste.

Further to that, it's worth getting feedback from people who are experienced in giving feedback, or at least interested in doing so - it sounds like this person you got to read it doesn't have that much interest in giving feedback.

Using a website like scribophile, where users give each other detailed critiques, could help you get good critique from a range of people.
