Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific methods with brief explanation. Avoid redundancy and speaking fillers.

Example: Yes, I consider myself quite good at memorising things. For example, I always jot down key tasks in a dedicated notebook and set reminders on my phone so I don’t forget deadlines.

Suggestion: Answer directly then explain one clear reason and an example. Use linking words (however, but) and avoid repetition and hesitation. Be specific about when you forget and how you handle it.

Example: Not often, because I record important items in my notebook and review it daily. However, sometimes I forget things if I don’t check my notes for a long time, so I now set weekly reminders to review urgent tasks.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence naming typical items, then give specific examples and explain how you handle details. Use linking words like for example or because to make it coherent.

Example: Mostly I need to remember appointments and deadlines. For example, I always note school meetings and assignment dates in my phone calendar so I don’t have to memorise every detail, but I check the notes before each event.

Suggestion: Give a clear method-focused answer: state one or two strategies, explain briefly how you use them, and avoid hesitations and repetitions. Use linking words (for example, then) to show sequence.

Example: I use two main strategies to remember important things. First, I write them in a notebook; then I transfer deadlines to my phone calendar and set alarms so I’m reminded at the right time.

× Of course yes, because I have some good methods like I can take something important in my notebook or I can put something important in my phone.

✓ Of course, because I have some good methods, such as writing important things in my notebook or saving them on my phone.

The original sentence uses 'can' unnecessarily when describing habitual methods; this affects modal verb usage (ID 4). Use simple present to state routines and neutral verbs like 'write' and 'save'. Also improve articles and prepositions: 'in my notebook' and 'on my phone'.

× Not really because I put importance into my notebook, I will do it very often, but when the time goes I will forgot it because that it it it is it is very long.

✓ Not really, because I write important things in my notebook and I do this often, but when a long time passes I sometimes forget them.

This sentence has multiple tense and verb form errors (ID 5). 'Put' as a habitual action should be 'write' or 'put' in present simple; 'will do it very often' is incorrect for habitual actions — use present simple 'I do this often'. 'Will forgot' mixes future with past form; correct is 'forget' for general present/past habits or 'forgot' for past events. Also correct plural agreement ('them') and simplify unclear phrases ('when a long time passes').

× Well, some big things like I need to go to the school meeting, but I don't need to remember the details because I put them in the my phone or notebook.

✓ Well, important things like going to the school meeting, but I don't need to remember the details because I put them in my phone or notebook.

This contains article errors (ID 22): 'the school meeting' may be correct in context but 'the my phone' is wrong — do not use 'the' with 'my'. Also improve phrasing to 'going to the school meeting' and remove redundant words. 'Some big things' is awkward; 'important things' is better.

× Sometimes I think about it for very long time, but always I I read my note notebook for for some important things or look look at my phone.

✓ Sometimes I think about things for a long time, but usually I read my notes for important items or look at my phone.

This involves incorrect use of the present participle and repetition/errors (ID 10). Use 'a long time' (article + noun) and 'read my notes' (plural) rather than 'read my note notebook'. Remove repeated words 'I I', 'for for', 'look look'. Replace 'always' with 'usually' to match typical habit. Also adjust 'important things' to 'important items' for clarity.

× My important things are on them.

✓ My important things are stored there.

The original sentence misuses the pronoun 'them' without a clear antecedent (ID 12). 'On them' is vague; 'stored there' clearly refers to the phone and notebook. Use explicit or clearer references to avoid pronoun ambiguity.
