Memory— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Your answer is natural and relevant, but slightly long and could be more concise with a clearer topic sentence plus one concrete supporting detail. Use a linking phrase to connect the general claim and the example, and avoid repeating ideas. Also vary vocabulary (e.g., use “remember” or “retain” instead of repeating “recall”).

Exemplo: Yes — I generally have a good memory. For instance, I can remember conversations and events from years ago, which I sometimes use when I tell stories to friends to make them laugh.

Sugestão: Good structure and useful specific details. To improve, make the opening sentence stronger (avoid weak negatives like “not really”) and reduce repetition of methods (calendar, planner, alarm) by grouping them. Use a linking word to present the example smoothly.

Exemplo: Not often. When something is important, I record it on my calendar and set phone alerts; for example, I log work meetings and bill due dates so I don’t miss them.

Sugestão: Clear and specific content with good reasons. Improve by tightening sentences, using plural agreement (“reminders”), and adding a linking word like “so” or “therefore” to show result. Also avoid overly wordy phrases like “there are a few things.”

Exemplo: I need to remember my diet and my medication. Because I sometimes forget if I’ve had enough protein or taken all my pills, I track meals and set reminders on my phone.

Sugestão: Strong answer: direct topic sentence, logical support, useful example of asking a friend. To reach a higher score, vary vocabulary (use “note” or “record” instead of “jot down”) and avoid filler words like “usually” and “sometimes.” Combine clauses with linking words for tighter coherence.

Exemplo: I record important items in my phone or notebook and set calendar alerts. I also ask a trusted friend to remind me about key appointments, because a second reminder keeps me organized.

× When something is important, I usually write them down in my calendar or my planner, or even set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget appointments or deadlines.

✓ When something is important, I usually write it down in my calendar or my planner, or even set an alarm on my phone so I don't forget appointments or deadlines.

The pronoun 'them' refers to a plural antecedent, but the nearest antecedent 'something' is singular. Use the singular pronoun 'it' to match 'something'. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree in number with their antecedents.

× I often forget whether I have had enough protein or taken all my pills, so I track my meals and set reminder on my phone to make sure I don't miss anything.

✓ I often forget whether I have had enough protein or taken all my pills, so I track my meals and set a reminder on my phone to make sure I don't miss anything.

The noun phrase 'set reminder' is missing the indefinite article 'a'. In English, singular, countable nouns generally need an article or determiner. Suggestion: add 'a' before singular countable nouns.

× If something is important, usually I will jot it down in my phone or notebook and set calendar alerts so that I don't forget.

✓ If something is important, I usually jot it down in my phone or notebook and set calendar alerts so that I don't forget.

The original 'usually I will jot' is not ungrammatical but the placement of 'usually' with 'will' sounds awkward and less natural. Removing 'will' keeps the present habitual tense which fits the context. Suggestion: use simple present 'I usually jot' for habitual actions.

× I always record work meetings and bill due dates, which help me stay organized.

✓ I always record work meetings and bill due dates, which helps me stay organized.

The relative clause refers to the singular action of recording (treated as a single system), so the verb 'help' should agree with the singular noun phrase 'recording' implied by the clause, requiring 'helps'. Alternatively, if the writer means 'meetings and due dates' as plural causes, the original 'help' is acceptable. Suggestion: make subject-verb agreement clear by rephrasing: 'This helps me stay organized.'

× I also sometimes ask a close friend to remind me, especially for appointments or deadlines, because an extra reminder helps me stay organized.

✓ I also sometimes ask a close friend to remind me, especially about appointments or deadlines, because an extra reminder helps me stay organized.

The preposition 'for' before 'appointments or deadlines' is not incorrect but 'about' is more natural with 'remind' (remind someone about something). Suggestion: prefer 'remind me about appointments' for idiomatic use; this involves preposition choice classified under pronouns in this list but primarily relates to preposition use (ID 11). If strictly following the list, treat as pronoun/preposition nuance.
