Example: I'm not very good at memorising everything, but when it comes to vocabulary, I've developed an effective method. Once I memorise new words using this technique, I rarely forget them.

Suggestion: Vermeiden Sie Wiederholungen und achten Sie auf grammatikalische Genauigkeit. Verwenden Sie verbindende Wörter, um die Antwort flüssiger zu gestalten, und geben Sie spezifischere Beispiele, um die Antwort zu verbessern.

Example: Yes, I sometimes forget important things, which is frustrating. Therefore, I use my phone to set reminders, which helps me stay organised and reduces the chances of forgetting tasks.

Suggestion: Vermeiden Sie Umgangssprache und Füllwörter, und strukturieren Sie Ihre Antwort klar mit einem Hauptsatz und unterstützenden Details. Verwenden Sie außerdem passende Verbindungswörter, um die Antwort flüssiger zu machen.

Example: The most important things I need to remember daily are to drink a cup of water first thing in the morning, as Chinese medicine suggests it's healthy. Additionally, I always check my To-Do List to ensure I complete my tasks.

Example: I usually write important tasks on a piece of paper and stick it to my closet door. However, recently I started using a phone app that sends reminders when tasks are due, which is very helpful.

× I won't say that I'm really good at the memorizing thing, but it's also depending on the subject.

✓ I won't say that I'm really good at memorizing things, but it also depends on the subject.

The modal verb 'won't' is correctly used here to express refusal or denial. However, 'it's also depending' is incorrect because 'depending' requires the verb 'to be' in the present continuous tense, but here the simple present 'depends' is appropriate to express a general truth. Also, 'the memorizing thing' is awkward; 'memorizing things' is more natural.

× I won't say that I'm really good at the memorizing thing, but it's also depending on the subject.

✓ I won't say that I'm really good at memorizing things, but it also depends on the subject.

The phrase 'it's also depending' incorrectly uses the present participle 'depending' with 'it is'. The correct form is the simple present 'it depends' to indicate a habitual or general fact.

× when it came to vocab, I've developed a method that helped me to memorize.

✓ when it comes to vocabulary, I've developed a method that helps me memorize.

'Vocab' is informal and should be 'vocabulary'. Also, 'when it came' should be 'when it comes' to maintain present tense consistency. 'Helped me to memorize' should be 'helps me memorize' to match present tense and avoid unnecessary 'to'.

× once I memorize those vocab, I will never forget it ever again.

✓ once I memorize that vocabulary, I will never forget it again.

'Those vocab' is incorrect; 'vocabulary' is uncountable and singular. Also, 'ever again' is redundant; 'again' suffices. The modal verb 'will' is correctly used for future certainty.

× Yes, I have forgotten important things once in a while, which can be quite frustrating.

✓ Yes, I have forgotten important things once in a while, which can be quite frustrating.

No grammatical error related to singular/plural here; sentence is correct.

× To avoid it, I usually take note of my iPod or on my phone as a reminder that helped me stay organized and remember my task better.

✓ To avoid it, I usually take notes on my iPod or my phone as reminders that help me stay organized and remember my tasks better.

The phrase 'take note of my iPod or on my phone' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'on' for devices. Also, 'note' should be plural 'notes' to match the context. 'That helped' should be 'that help' to maintain present tense. 'My task' should be plural 'my tasks' for generality.

× This matter really helped me reduce the number of times I forgot things something important.

✓ This method really helped me reduce the number of times I forgot something important.

'This matter' is awkward; 'this method' fits better. 'Forgot things something important' is incorrect; it should be 'forgot something important' to be grammatically correct.

× I'm gonna start with the most basic thing that I have to remember in my daily life.

✓ I'm going to start with the most basic thing that I have to remember in my daily life.

'Gonna' is informal; 'going to' is the correct formal future tense expression.

× First of all is to get a cup of water the first thing I wake up because it's very healthy according to Chinese medicine.

✓ First of all, it is to get a cup of water as the first thing when I wake up because it's very healthy according to Chinese medicine.

The sentence lacks a subject; adding 'it is' clarifies the subject. Also, 'the first thing I wake up' is awkward; 'as the first thing when I wake up' is clearer.

× I'm doing it since I was 5.

✓ I've been doing it since I was 5.

The present continuous 'I'm doing' is incorrect with 'since'; present perfect continuous 'I've been doing' is appropriate to indicate an action started in the past and continuing to present.

× And also, umm, to do, uh, going through my To Do List and do the thing, umm, on that.

✓ And also, umm, to go through my To Do List and do the things on it.

'To do, uh, going through' is incorrect; 'to go through' is the correct infinitive. 'Do the thing on that' is awkward; 'do the things on it' is clearer and grammatically correct.

× Normally I would write it down on a piece of paper and then tape it to my closet door, but recently I found this very useful app on my phone that you can set a reminder on it and it's, uh, gonna send you a note when the task has to be done by then.

✓ Normally I write it down on a piece of paper and then tape it to my closet door, but recently I found a very useful app on my phone where you can set a reminder, and it will send you a note when the task has to be done.

'Would' implies habitual past; 'normally I write' is better for present habitual action. 'Gonna' is informal; 'will' is correct modal verb for future. 'Set a reminder on it' is awkward; 'set a reminder' suffices. 'By then' is redundant and removed for clarity.
