how to phrase emails when reapplying

[Manana]

So  this year I am reapplying to a few of the graduate programs that I have applied to last year. I am not sure how to phrase emails to professors who I have corresponded with last year. They have all replied, their answers ranging from very positive to neutral. I tried to get the answer from Google but all the guides refer to first time applying, introducing yourself etc., which I feel would just look weird, as we have already corresponded. To this I have to add that English is not my first language so I'm extra nervous. Would appreciate your input.
