Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and provide a clear topic sentence with one supporting detail. Use correct verb forms and avoid redundancy. Add a linking phrase to expand slightly (e.g. 'because' or 'so') and keep within 2–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. I need a lot of time to learn details, because I prefer to understand concepts rather than rote-memorise facts.

Gợi ý: Use correct past participle and verbs (e.g. 'forgot' not 'have forget'). Start with a direct topic sentence, give one specific example, and end with the result or what you did to fix it. Use linking words like 'for example' and 'so' correctly.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have forgotten something important. For example, once I missed a work meeting, so I started using Google Calendar to set alerts for all my appointments.

Gợi ý: Give a clear topic sentence and use specific, well-formed supporting details. Avoid repeating 'need to' and finish sentences fully. Use linking words such as 'for example' or 'such as' and list items naturally.

Ví dụ: I need to remember my daily work tasks. For example, every morning I make a list of meetings, project deadlines and phone calls with clients so I can prioritise my day.

Gợi ý: Use consistent tense and correct verb forms (e.g. 'I mark' or 'I write', and 'forget' not 'have forget'). Start with a clear statement of your method, then give one or two specific details and use linking words like 'then' or 'so'.

Ví dụ: I mark important events on my calendar and set reminders. I also keep a daily checklist on my phone that I review every morning, so I don't forget tasks.

× I'm not good at memorizing things.

✓ I'm not good at memorising things.

The sentence uses American spelling 'memorizing' but the transcript uses British 'memorising' elsewhere; choose consistent spelling. This is orthographic rather than tense; keep present simple because it describes a general ability. Recommendation: Use consistent spelling across the transcript (memorising or memorizing) depending on the chosen variety of English.

× Yes, I have forget something important before.

✓ Yes, I have forgotten something important before.

The present perfect requires the past participle form 'forgotten' after 'have'. 'Have forget' is incorrect. Use 'I have forgotten' to refer to a past experience relevant to the present. Suggestion: Learn irregular past participles (forget → forgotten).

× So to cope with that, I decided to market in my Google Calendar.

✓ So to cope with that, I decided to make a mark in my Google Calendar.

'Market' is incorrect here; likely intended 'mark' or the phrase 'make a mark'. 'Make a mark' is a verb phrase; 'mark' can be transitive: 'mark my Google Calendar'. Use correct verb forms and collocations. Suggestion: Use 'mark' or 'make a note'/'add a reminder' depending on meaning.

× In my daily life, I need to remember the work that I need to do for the whole day.

✓ In my daily life, I need to remember the work I have to do during the day.

Redundant repeated 'need' is awkward; 'have to' is more natural to express obligation. 'For the whole day' is better as 'during the day'. Keep present simple or present continuous depending on general routine; here present simple with 'have to' is appropriate. Suggestion: Avoid repeating identical verbs; use natural collocations like 'have to' or 'need to' once.

× For example, I need to write a list of things that I need to work on in the morning.

✓ For example, I write a list of things I need to work on in the morning.

The original has unnecessary repetition 'I need to write' and 'that I need to work on'. Simplify to 'I write a list of things I need to work on' to sound natural for a habitual action. Suggestion: Use concise structures for routines; present simple is fine for habitual actions.

× Examples, meetings, projects or discussing with clients over the phone and.

✓ For example: meetings, projects, or discussions with clients over the phone.

Sentence fragment and incorrect form 'discussing' after a list; use the noun 'discussions' to match 'meetings' and 'projects'. Remove the stray 'and' and provide a complete list. Suggestion: Maintain parallel structure in lists (all nouns or all gerunds) and finish the sentence.

× I would mark down something important on my calendar just in case I would forget.

✓ I would mark down something important on my calendar just in case I forgot.

After 'just in case' use simple past (or present) to express hypothetical prevention: 'just in case I forgot' is more natural than 'would forget' which is not used in the subordinate clause here. Suggestion: Use 'just in case I forget' (present) or 'just in case I forgot' (less likely); prefer 'forget' for present-future prevention.

× I would write a list on my phone so I can check it every day in the morning so I wouldn't have forget.

✓ I write a list on my phone so I can check it every morning, so I won't forget.

Multiple tense and form errors: 'would write' is inappropriate for habitual routine — use present simple 'I write' or 'I make'. 'Wouldn't have forget' is ungrammatical; use 'won't forget' or 'won't have forgotten'. Also remove redundant 'in the morning' after 'every day'. Suggestion: For habitual actions use present simple: 'I write/make a list... so I won't forget.'
