Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more direct and natural: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, use correct tense and articles, and give one or two specific examples. Keep it under five sentences and use linking words to connect ideas.

Ejemplo: Yes, I am fairly good at remembering things, but I do sometimes forget important items like homework or study notes. To avoid this, I always write tasks in a notebook or set reminders on my phone, so I don’t miss deadlines.

Sugerencia: Answer with a clear past-tense structure, correct grammar (subject-verb agreement, pronouns), concise emotional reaction, and a brief follow-up on what you did to fix it. Use linking words like "because" or "so" to show cause and effect.

Ejemplo: Yes, once I forgot my best friend’s birthday, which made me feel very embarrassed because we had been friends for five years. So I apologized and took her out for a special dinner to make up for it.

Sugerencia: Start with a concise topic sentence, avoid repeating the same point, use plural/singular correctly, and add a specific detail about priorities or a brief example of a typical day. Use linking words like "for example" or "especially" to add clarity.

Ejemplo: As a student, I need to remember homework, projects, presentations and study materials, especially deadlines and exam dates. For example, each morning I check a planner to prioritise tasks for the day so I don’t miss anything.

Sugerencia: Give a clear topic sentence describing your main method, avoid filler words, correct word choice (e.g., 'tasks' not 'tax'), and list tools concisely with a short example of how you use them. Use linking words like "then" or "so" to explain sequence.

Ejemplo: I mainly use a digital calendar and phone reminders to manage my tasks, such as homework and presentations. For instance, I enter each deadline into my calendar and set alerts two days before and on the due date so I have time to prepare.

× Yes, I once forgotten my best friend birthday, I feel really bad and sad because we have been knowing for like 5 years and I apologize to her because I felt really bad and I promised her that I will make it up to them.

✓ Yes, I once forgot my best friend's birthday. I felt really bad and sad because we have known each other for about five years, and I apologized to her because I felt terrible. I promised her that I would make it up to her.

Multiple errors: 'forgotten' is the past participle and needs an auxiliary (have) to form present perfect; the simple past 'forgot' is correct here (Past tense issue - ID 5). 'My best friend birthday' lacks the possessive apostrophe (Article/possessive error - treated as Article errors ID 22). 'We have been knowing' is incorrect because 'know' is a stative verb and normally uses 'have known' for the present perfect (Present perfect formation relates to Present tense issue ID 6/5); correct is 'we have known each other.' 'I apologize' should be past 'I apologized' to match the past narrative (Past tense issue ID 5). 'I will make it up to them' uses the wrong pronoun 'them' for a singular friend and 'will' is less appropriate than 'would' as a future-in-the-past (Incorrect use of pronouns ID 12 and Future tense issue ID 7). Suggestions: use simple past for finished past events ('forgot', 'felt', 'apologized'), use possessive form 'friend's', use 'have known' for duration up to present, and match pronouns and conditional tense ('would') when promising in past context.

× Yes, I really could. I'm memorizing things, but sometimes I forget the important things such as my homework, school text and something like that.

✓ Yes, I can. I'm good at memorizing things, but sometimes I forget important items such as my homework, school texts, and things like that.

Errors: 'I really could' is odd here; 'could' is a modal suggesting past ability. Use present ability 'I can' (Modal verb usage ID 4). 'School text' should be plural 'school texts' when referring to multiple texts (Singular and plural issue ID 1). 'the important things' -> 'important items' is more natural but this is style; main grammatical fixes: correct modal and plural. Suggestion: use appropriate modal for current ability and make nouns agree in number.

× That's why I I always write down the important things I really have to do so I can memorize all of the things.

✓ That's why I always write down the important things I have to do so I can remember them all.

Problems: repeated 'I' is a typing error; 'memorize all of the things' is unnatural and uses 'memorize' incorrectly—better 'remember' (Incorrect use of verbs/word choice related to Verb + -ing or verb forms ID 8). Also 'them' is a clearer pronoun for 'the important things' (Pronoun error ID 12). Suggestion: remove duplication, use 'remember' for recalling previously noted tasks, and replace 'all of the things' with 'them all' for fluency.

× I feel really bad and sad because we have been knowing for like 5 years and I apologize to her because I felt really bad and I promised her that I will make it up to them.

✓ I felt really bad and sad because we have known each other for about five years, and I apologized to her because I felt really bad. I promised her that I would make it up to her.

This repeats earlier sentence but isolated issues: 'have been knowing' is incorrect; stative verbs like 'know' use 'have known' for duration (Present perfect issue ID 6). 'I apologize' should be past 'I apologized' to match narrative (Past tense ID 5). 'will' should be 'would' for a promise made in the past (Future in the past ID 7). 'them' should be 'her' (Pronoun error ID 12). Suggestion: use 'have known each other', keep past tense consistent, and use 'would' when reporting past promises.

× I am a student, so I have to remember my homeworks, my projects, presentations and my school texts because they're really important.

✓ I am a student, so I have to remember my homework, my projects, presentations, and my school texts because they're really important.

'Homeworks' is incorrect pluralization; 'homework' is an uncountable noun and should remain singular (Singular and plural issue ID 1). Other items can be plural. Suggestion: treat 'homework' as uncountable and use 'assignments' if a plural is needed.

× And if I miss one of them, OK, I will have many punishment at school, yes, So they're really important.

✓ And if I miss one of them, I will receive many punishments at school. So they're really important.

'Many punishment' is incorrect because 'punishment' is countable in this context and requires a plural form 'punishments' or an uncountable phrasing like 'a lot of punishment' (Incorrect use of quantifiers ID 14 and Singular/plural ID 1). 'Receive' or 'get' is better than 'have' in this context (Verb choice). Suggestion: use plural 'punishments' or rephrase as 'I will be punished a lot' for naturalness.

× OK so like I am a student so I have many things to do such as homework, tax and presentation.

✓ I have many things to do, such as homework, tests, and presentations.

'Tax' seems to be a wrong word here; likely 'test' or 'task'. Also sentence is repetitive with two 'so'. This is a sentence structure and word choice error (Sentence structure errors ID 26 and Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs ID 13). Suggestion: remove redundant 'so like', use correct nouns ('tests' or 'tasks'), and pluralize as needed.

× So I use my calendar, my reminder, smartphone and computer to write down the things I have to do during a week.

✓ I use my calendar, reminders, my smartphone, and my computer to write down the things I have to do during the week.

Problems: 'my reminder' should be plural 'reminders' or 'my reminder app'; list needs article consistency. 'during a week' is awkward; use 'during the week' or 'in a week' depending on meaning (Incorrect use of prepositions ID 11). Suggestion: use 'during the week' for routine weekly tasks and pluralize 'reminders' or specify 'reminder app'.

× Yes, I really could.

✓ Yes, I can.

'Could' indicates past ability or polite possibility; the examiner asked about present ability so 'can' is appropriate (Modal verb usage ID 4). Suggestion: match modal verb to the time frame of the question.
