Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and directly answer the question with a clear topic sentence, then add one or two specific supporting details. Reduce hesitations (“uh”) and correct grammar (e.g., "I tend to forget"). Use linking words like "for example" appropriately and keep to 2–4 sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. For example, I often forget where I put everyday items at home, such as my keys or my phone, which makes me late sometimes. Because of that, I now use a small tray by the door to keep these items together.

Sugerencia: Give a single clear example with a simple timeline and correct word choice (e.g., "security" not "securities"). Avoid repetition and finish the sentence. Use linking words like "once" or "on one occasion" and explain the result or consequence briefly.

Ejemplo: Yes, once I forgot my ID card when I went to an appointment. When I arrived, the security guard would not let me in without ID, so I had to return home and come back later, which made me miss the start of the appointment.

Sugerencia: Answer with a clear topic sentence stating the most important things to remember, then give two specific examples (hydration and diet) with concise reasons. Correct grammar ("forget to stay hydrated", "eat healthier food") and avoid repetition.

Ejemplo: In daily life, I most need to remember to stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet. I often forget to drink water during busy days, and as a result I feel tired, so I try to set phone reminders and prepare healthy meals in advance.

Sugerencia: Provide a clear method with concrete steps and an example. Replace vague phrases ("refresh my brain", "commit my brain") with specific strategies like lists, reminders or routines. Use linking words to show sequence ("first", "then").

Ejemplo: I use practical strategies to remember important things: first, I write a checklist or set phone reminders; then, I prioritise the top items and repeat them to myself. For instance, before leaving the house I check a short list to ensure I have my wallet, keys and phone.

× I would say not because, uh, I just tend to forgot, uh, things that I use most.

✓ I would say not because, uh, I just tend to forget, uh, things that I use most.

The verb 'forget' should be in base form after 'tend to'. 'Tend to' is followed by the infinitive without 'to' change, so use 'forget' not 'forgot'. Use 'forget' to match present habitual meaning.

× For example, the basic items that I use, uh, at my home, I before using them, I just don't like, I just don't remember where I put them.

✓ For example, the basic items that I use at home — before using them, I just don't remember where I put them.

The original repeats subjects and places 'before using them' in an awkward position. Remove the redundant 'I' and reorder the clause for clarity. Also 'at my home' is better as 'at home' in natural English.

× That's why I have this habit.

✓ That's why I have this habit.

Sentence is acceptable but is a bit vague; no grammatical change required. It functions as a correct clause explaining cause.

× Yes, many, many times and once I clearly remember that I just forgot my ID card at the time I was going to consult and before uh, the entry like before going uh, I should show my ID card to the securities and without ID card I.

✓ Yes, many times. I clearly remember once when I forgot my ID card as I was going to a consultation. Before entering, I had to show my ID card to security, and without it I couldn't get in.

Mixed and incorrect tense forms and incomplete clause. Use past simple 'forgot' and past continuous 'was going' consistently. 'Consult' should be 'a consultation' and 'securities' is incorrect; use 'security' (the staff). Complete the final clause with 'couldn't get in' to convey consequence.

× What do you need to remember in your daily life? Student: I think the most important thing for me to remember is my house.

✓ I think the most important thing for me to remember is my house address/where I live.

Saying 'remember is my house' is awkward. Clarify whether you mean 'my house address' or 'where I live'. 'House' alone is grammatically singular but unclear; supply a noun or phrase that fits context.

× I tend to forgot stay hydrated, I need to drink more water, but I just forgot them and I sometimes disrupt my diet diet, so I need to remember that I need to eat more healthier food.

✓ I tend to forget to stay hydrated; I need to drink more water, but I often forget. I also sometimes disrupt my diet, so I need to remember to eat healthier food.

Use 'forget' after 'tend to' (base form). 'Forget stay hydrated' needs infinitive or 'to stay hydrated'. 'Forgot them' is unclear; use 'forget' and 'often' for frequency. 'Eat more healthier' is incorrect: 'more healthier' is redundant; use 'eat healthier food' or 'eat more healthy foods'.

× How do you remember important things? Student: I try to refresh my brain and I just, uh, started to remembering by the most information, the most important information or the most basic one.

✓ I try to refresh my brain and I start by remembering the most important or most basic information.

Use present simple 'start' to match habitual action. 'Started to remembering' mixes forms; use 'start by remembering'. 'By the most information' is incorrect preposition and word order; use 'by remembering the most important information'.

× I just, uh, commit my brain to remember it and sometimes it works.

✓ I just commit myself to remembering it, and sometimes it works.

Use reflexive 'commit myself' when directing action toward oneself (Grammar problem type 15 relates, but core issue is verb+ing). After 'commit' use 'to' + gerund 'remembering' in this context. This yields natural collocation: 'commit myself to remembering'.
