Sugerencia: Your answer has some grammatical errors and awkward phrasing. Try to use clear and natural sentences, and use linking words to connect your ideas logically. Also, avoid redundancy and be specific about your methods.

Ejemplo: I use electronic calendars and reminder apps on my phone and laptop. Whenever something important is coming up, I set an alarm, and I've developed the habit of marking all important events on my calendar.

× No, I'm not good at reminding things, especially about small errands during daily life, so I usually keep a reminder app on my cell phone to help me keep track of those small to Dos.

✓ No, I'm not good at memorising things, especially small errands during daily life, so I usually keep a reminder app on my cell phone to help me keep track of those small to-dos.

The student used 'reminding' instead of 'memorising'. The question asks about memorising things, so the correct verb is 'memorising'. 'Reminding' means causing someone to remember, which is not the intended meaning here. Also, 'to Dos' should be 'to-dos' as a compound noun.

× Yes, there was a time that I forgot my appointment with my driving coach on Saturday morning, which almost lead to me missing my driving test on the same day.

✓ Yes, there was a time that I forgot my appointment with my driving coach on Saturday morning, which almost led to me missing my driving test on the same day.

The verb 'lead' should be in the past tense 'led' to match the past context of the sentence. 'Lead' is present tense, while 'led' is the correct past tense form.

× There are several things regarding my daily routine that I need to keep in mind in my daily life.

✓ There are several things about my daily routine that I need to keep in mind in my daily life.

The preposition 'regarding' is less natural here; 'about' is more commonly used to indicate the subject of something. Both are grammatically correct, but 'about' fits better in everyday speech.

× For example, I need to remember my gym classes schedule every day.

✓ For example, I need to remember my gym class schedule every day.

'Gym classes schedule' is incorrect because 'classes' is plural and 'schedule' is singular. The correct phrase is 'gym class schedule' referring to the schedule of gym classes collectively.

× I have electronic calendars and reminder software is not on my cell phone and laptop.

✓ I have electronic calendars and reminder software on my cell phone and laptop.

The phrase 'reminder software is not on my cell phone and laptop' is incorrect. The word 'not' should be removed to correctly state possession. Also, the sentence structure is awkward; removing 'is not' clarifies the meaning.

× So when there is a important thing happening, I will receive an alarm and I already developed a habit to mark every important thing on my calendar.

✓ So when there is an important thing happening, I will receive an alarm and I have already developed a habit of marking every important thing on my calendar.

The article 'a' should be 'an' before a vowel sound as in 'important'. Also, 'I already developed' should be 'I have already developed' to correctly use present perfect tense for a past action with present relevance. 'Habit to mark' should be 'habit of marking' to use the correct collocation.
