Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Сократите количество заполнителей (uh, umm) и дайте более структурированный ответ: начните с общей позиции, затем приведите 1–2 конкретных примера и заключение. Используйте связки (for example, however, because) и избегайте повтора слов (memorize/things).
Ejemplo: I used to be good at memorising things, but recently I find it harder to remember even simple tasks. For example, I often forget to call my mum when I get home. Because of this, I now rely on reminders to avoid missing important actions.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Puntuación: 74.0Sugerencia: Ответ ясен, но слишком длинный и немного неструктурированный. Начните с прямого ответа, затем дайте конкретную причину и результат. Уберите излишние детали, которых не просили, и избегайте повторов (that is why).
Ejemplo: Yes. Recently I forgot my dad's birthday, which was stressful. I was extremely busy with work and studies, so I couldn't organise the usual surprise party, and my family were disappointed.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: Ответ понятен, но содержит много ненужных вставок; структурируйте: тема, причина, конкретная ситуация. Употребляйте связки (because, so, therefore) и уточните детали (how often, what time).

× I can say that I used to be, uh, good at memorizing things, things.
✓ I can say that I used to be good at memorizing things.
The sentence redundantly repeats 'things' and uses 'used to be' correctly to indicate past ability. Remove the extra 'things' to make the sentence grammatically correct and fluent. Also avoid filler words like 'uh' in formal speech. Suggestion: Say 'I used to be good at memorizing things' or 'I can say I was good at memorizing things.'
× However, nowadays it is umm, umm, harder for me to memorize something or just to remember something because now I forget even the simplest things such as, umm, for example, uh, to call my mom when I got home, uh, and this type of.
✓ However, nowadays it is harder for me to memorize or remember things because I now forget even the simplest things, for example, calling my mom when I get home.
Use present simple 'it is harder' and 'I forget' for current habitual situations. Replace 'memorize something or just to remember something' with 'memorize or remember things' for parallel structure. Use 'calling my mom when I get home' for a gerund clause and present simple 'get' to match habitual action. Remove fillers and vague ending 'and this type of.' Suggestion: Keep tense consistent and use gerunds for examples: 'for example, calling my mom when I get home.'
× Actually, recently I have forgotten about my dad's birthday and it was stressful for me because I usually make some huge surprising parties and this year I was really busy with my work and studies and that is why I couldn't do it.
✓ Actually, recently I forgot my dad's birthday, and it was stressful for me because I usually throw big surprise parties, but this year I was really busy with work and studies, so I couldn't do it.
When specifying a recent completed event, simple past 'I forgot' is natural, though present perfect is possible; keep consistency with 'it was stressful.' Use 'throw big surprise parties' instead of 'make some huge surprising parties' for natural collocation. Replace 'my work' with 'work' for general meaning. Use conjunctions properly to connect clauses. Suggestion: Use natural collocations: 'throw surprise parties' and consistent past tense when talking about a completed incident.
× So that is why I apologize for it.
✓ So that is why I apologize for it.
This sentence is grammatically acceptable; no modal verb correction needed. It is fine to keep as a present tense apology referring to a past event. Suggestion: Alternatively, say 'So I apologize for that' for slightly more natural phrasing.
× Oh, the easiest thing, uh, which I need to remember in my daily life is just to set up the alarm because I am not a morning person and that is why it is hard for me to wake up early.
✓ Oh, the easiest thing I need to remember in my daily life is to set the alarm because I am not a morning person, and it is hard for me to wake up early.
Omit 'which' after 'thing' in restrictive clauses in spoken English and prefer 'set the alarm' rather than 'set up the alarm.' Keep tense present simple for habitual actions. Remove filler 'uh' and tighten sentence structure. Suggestion: Use 'the easiest thing I need to remember is to set the alarm.'
× But I need to because I have a sister and a brother who I drive to school and that is really difficult.
✓ But I have to because I drive my sister and brother to school, and that is really difficult.
Use 'have to' or 'need to' for obligation; 'I need to because I have a sister and a brother who I drive to school' is awkward. Place objects 'my sister and brother' after the verb 'drive' rather than using a relative clause 'who I drive to school.' Also keep pronoun possession 'my.' Suggestion: Say 'I have to because I drive my sister and brother to school.'
× I usually try to use my calendar, which makes my life a lot easier because as I said before, I'm not really good at memorizing things.
✓ I usually try to use my calendar, which makes my life a lot easier because, as I said before, I'm not really good at memorizing things.
Sentence is largely correct; add commas for clarity. The gerund 'memorizing' is used correctly. Suggestion: No grammatical change required besides punctuation.
× And it is really helpful for me because it has some different features, different useful features such As for example notification which is sent two days before, then one day before.
✓ It is really helpful for me because it has several useful features, for example notifications that are sent two days before and one day before.
Replace 'some different features, different useful features' with 'several useful features' for concise expression. Use 'notifications that are sent' with plural agreement and passive voice correctly. Remove 'As for example' which is redundant. Use parallel structure 'two days before and one day before.' Suggestion: Say 'it has several useful features, for example notifications that are sent two days and one day before.'
