Memory— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural. Start with a clear topic sentence, avoid fillers (uh, actually), and give one or two supporting details with linking words. Use specific examples rather than vague claims.

Exemplo: Yes, I am quite good at memorising things. For example, in college I could recall facts from lectures and dates from history exams, which earned me the nickname “Wikipedia” among my friends. However, I occasionally struggle with less important details like names unless I make an effort to review them.

Sugestão: Clarify your main point and avoid confusing phrasing. Use a topic sentence that answers directly, then give one or two concrete examples and a linking word to show contrast.

Exemplo: Yes, I have. For instance, I often forget birthdays even though I can remember study material easily. Although I retain academic facts well, I sometimes forget personal dates unless I put them in my calendar.

Sugestão: Make sentences grammatically correct and more natural. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then describe your routine with linking words and specifics (when, how you make the list). Limit to 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: The most important things I need to remember are my work tasks. Every morning I write a to-do list with deadlines and priorities, and I check it throughout the day. This routine helps me stay organised and ensures I don't miss urgent tasks.

Sugestão: Be slightly more specific and natural: use correct verb forms and add one concrete detail about tools or methods. Keep it concise and coherent using linking words.

Exemplo: I use a digital calendar and alarms to remember important things. For example, I add events with reminders and set alarms 30 minutes before deadlines, which prevents me from forgetting meetings or tasks.

× Actually, uh, now that you mentioned it, uh, my friends from college used to tell me, uh, that, uh, I'm like Wikipedia because I know everything about everything.

✓ Actually, now that you mention it, my friends from college used to tell me that I'm like Wikipedia because I know everything about everything.

The original mixes past 'mentioned' with present meaning. Using 'you mention' (present) fits the conversational immediate realization. Also remove filler 'uh' for clarity. Keep 'used to tell' for past habit and 'I'm' for present state.

× Surprisingly, us over the years, I forgot as many as birthdays as I remember.

✓ Surprisingly, over the years, I have forgotten as many birthdays as I remember.

The subject 'us' is incorrect; the speaker should use first person singular construction. Also 'forgot' should be present perfect 'have forgotten' to indicate experience over a period up to now. Word order corrected for clarity.

× Uh, I think when it comes to, uh, educational knowledge and the information that can blow your mind, uh, I can remember it, but when it comes to birthdays, I fail to do that.

✓ I think when it comes to educational knowledge and mind-blowing information, I can remember it, but when it comes to birthdays, I fail to do so.

Reduce fillers and restructure 'the information that can blow your mind' to 'mind-blowing information' for naturalness. Replace 'do that' with 'do so' to refer correctly to the previous verb phrase. This improves cohesion and formality.

× I was high priority for my work, so the most important things that I need to recall throughout my day is my tasks.

✓ Work is a high priority for me, so the most important things I need to recall throughout my day are my tasks.

Original has wrong subject and verb agreement and awkward phrasing. 'I was high priority' is incorrect; use 'Work is a high priority for me.' Also change 'is my tasks' to 'are my tasks' to agree in number with plural 'tasks.'

× That's why when I woke up, I make A to do list that have all my tasks that I need to actually through the day and this helps me a lot actually.

✓ That's why when I wake up, I make a to-do list that has all the tasks I need to complete throughout the day, and this helps me a lot.

Tense consistency: use present 'wake up' and 'make' for habitual action. Capitalization fixed ('A' to 'a'). 'To do list' should be hyphenated 'to-do list.' Use singular verb 'has' to agree with 'list.' Replace awkward 'that I need to actually through the day' with 'that I need to complete throughout the day.' Remove redundant 'actually.'

× As I previously mentioned, I set daily schedule for my week, so anything I'd like to remember I set it in my calendar and then my alarm would remind me of it.

✓ As I mentioned before, I set a daily schedule for my week, so anything I'd like to remember I put in my calendar and my alarm reminds me of it.

Add indefinite article 'a' before 'daily schedule.' Use 'mentioned before' for natural phrasing. Use 'put in my calendar' rather than 'set it in my calendar' and change 'would remind' to simple present 'reminds' for habitual action. Remove unnecessary comma and improve word order.
