Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and structured: start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you are good at memorising, then give one or two specific examples with linking words. Reduce pauses and filler words (umm, uh). Use more precise phrasing (e.g. "it depends on the topic" -> "I’m good at remembering recent or personally relevant things, but not older academic details").

Example: I would say it depends on the topic. For example, I can easily remember recent personal details, like the makeup I used yesterday, but I struggle to recall lessons from middle school. Therefore, I’m generally better at remembering things that are recent or meaningful to me.

Suggestion: Give a clear, chronological account with specific details and correct tense. Avoid repetition and filler words. Explain briefly why it happened and what the result was. Use linking words like "because" and "so" correctly.

Example: Yes, I once forgot to start a big school project. I had months to complete it, but I kept postponing it and only remembered on the last day, so I had to rush and submit a low-quality project.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence and give one or two specific reasons. Reduce repetition and filler sounds. Use precise vocabulary (e.g. "stay hydrated" and "medication") and a linking word to connect reason and consequence.

Example: The most important thing I need to remember daily is to stay hydrated because I am taking medication that requires me to drink a lot of water. As a result, I set reminders to ensure I drink regularly throughout the day.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence describing your main strategies, then give two concise, specific methods with linking words. Avoid unclear phrases and filler words, and use correct grammar (e.g. "I can't rely on memory alone, so I use alarms and notes").

Example: I can't rely on memory alone, so I use practical strategies. For example, I write notes and put them where I will see them, and I set alarms on my phone to remind me of important tasks.

× I think actually it depends on the topic because if you ask me something about my umm, middle school lesson, I'm, I'm not going to be able to remember it.

✓ I think it actually depends on the topic, because if you ask me about something from my middle school lessons, I won't be able to remember it.

Multiple small issues: word order ('actually' better after 'think'), preposition usage ('ask me about something from'), plural noun ('middle school lessons' rather than singular when referring to general lessons), and tense/modal choice ('I'm not going to be able to' is wordy; 'I won't be able to' is natural). Suggestions: place adverbs after the verb, use 'about' with 'ask', use plural for general lessons, prefer simple future contraction for ability.

× But if you ask me something about what blush I used yesterday, of course I will remember Umm.

✓ But if you ask me what blush I used yesterday, of course I will remember.

Singular/plural not the main issue; primary problem is incorrect word order and extra filler 'about what'. Use 'ask me what' not 'ask me something about what'. Remove filler 'Umm'. Suggestion: use direct question structure 'ask me what...' for reported questions.

× So I think I have a strong memory, but umm in different.

✓ So I think I have a strong memory, but it varies.

Present tense and sentence structure issue: 'in different' is ungrammatical. Use 'it varies' or 'it is different in different situations' to express variability. Suggestion: use clear subject and verb to complete the sentence.

× Yeah, I forgot to do my school project.

✓ Yes, I forgot to do my school project.

Minor register: 'Yeah' is informal; replaced with 'Yes' to suit test context. Past tense 'forgot' is correct. Suggestion: use 'Yes' in formal speaking tests.

× Umm, I had months to do my project, but it's because I forget I did it on the last day of umm, headline.

✓ I had months to do my project, but because I forgot, I did it on the last day before the deadline.

Past tense errors: 'it's because I forget' mixes tenses and uses present 'forget' incorrectly; should be past 'forgot'. Also wrong noun 'headline' — should be 'deadline'. Suggestions: keep past tense consistent when describing past events and use correct noun 'deadline'.

× I think the most important thing to remember is umm, hydrating my body because I have to drink, umm, so much water because I use some special medicine.

✓ I think the most important thing to remember is to keep my body hydrated because I have to drink a lot of water since I take some special medicine.

Present tense and verb form issue: 'hydrating my body' is a gerund but sounds awkward after 'is'; better to use infinitive 'to keep my body hydrated'. 'So much water' is informal; 'a lot of water' is natural. 'Use medicine' should be 'take medicine'. Suggestions: use infinitive after 'the thing to remember is', and choose correct verb 'take' for medication.

× And hydrating your body is very important on very many occasions.

✓ And keeping your body hydrated is very important on many occasions.

Present tense and word choice: 'hydrating your body' is acceptable but 'keeping your body hydrated' sounds more natural. 'On very many occasions' is wordy; 'on many occasions' is sufficient. Suggestion: simplify phrasing and use natural collocations.

× Well I can't, so this way I when I want to remember something or not forget something I noticed in somewhere umm, I'm going to see everything.

✓ Well, I can't do it perfectly, so when I want to remember something or make sure I don't forget it, I write it down and check everything.

Sentence structure errors: original sentence is disordered and unclear ('so this way I when...' 'noticed in somewhere'). Repaired by giving a clear subject and verbs: 'I write it down and check everything.' Suggestion: use clear sequence of actions and proper verbs ('write it down', 'make sure I don't forget').

× Or I set an alarm and try to umm keep in mind my responsibilities.

✓ Or I set an alarm and try to keep my responsibilities in mind.

Modal verb/verb usage and word order: 'try to keep in mind my responsibilities' has awkward word order. 'Keep something in mind' is the correct phrase. Suggestion: place object before 'in mind' and avoid filler words.
