Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Improve accuracy, clarity and fluency. Start with a direct topic sentence, correct grammar (memorising vs memorizing, avoid extra words), and keep within 3–4 sentences. Use linking words (so, for example) and specific details (how you organise checklist). Remove redundancy and fix verb forms and articles.

Ví dụ: No, I'm not great at memorising things, so I use a daily checklist and phone reminders to avoid forgetting important items. For example, every morning I write down appointments and deadlines in an app and tick them off as I finish them. This helps me stay organised and reduces stress.

Gợi ý: Make the answer concise and correct grammatical errors. Begin with a clear topic sentence, then briefly explain what happened using linking words (because, so) and specific detail (what steps you took afterwards). Use correct past tense and pronouns, and avoid repetition.

Ví dụ: Yes, I missed a job interview last week because I was so busy with other commitments that I forgot about it. I felt very embarrassed, so I contacted the store immediately to apologise and asked if the interview could be rescheduled.

Gợi ý: This answer is clear and relevant but can be tightened and linked more explicitly to the question about what you need to remember. Start with a direct topic sentence naming the items you must remember, then add brief details with linking words. Avoid filler words like 'Umm' and keep to 3–4 sentences.

Ví dụ: I need to remember my daily routine, especially study sessions and exercise. I get up at 8, freshen up, and study for three to four hours for the IELTS, and then I exercise for about an hour to stay healthy. I set alarms to keep this schedule consistent.

Gợi ý: Good basic answer but fix grammar and add a specific example of the method and a linking phrase showing result. Remove repetition and ensure sentence variety. Mention one more technique (calendar, alarms) to show range.

Ví dụ: I create checklists and set calendar reminders on my phone so I don't forget important tasks. Because I always carry my phone, I regularly check notifications and alarms; for example, I set an alarm the night before an appointment to make sure I prepare in time.

× I usually make a daily checklist or set reminders on my phone and to avoiding forgetting important texts.

✓ I usually make a daily checklist or set reminders on my phone to avoid forgetting important texts.

The structure after 'to' should be the base verb, not the -ing form. 'to avoiding' is incorrect; use the infinitive 'to avoid'. Also remove the extra conjunction 'and' before 'to avoid' to keep parallel structure. Suggestion: Use 'to' + base verb for purpose clauses, e.g., 'set alarms to remember'.

× For example, I write down a point appointments and deadlines which morning and take them off as I complete them.

✓ For example, I write down appointments and deadlines every morning and cross them off as I complete them.

The original has word order and word choice errors: 'a point appointments' is ungrammatical and 'which morning' should be 'every morning'. Use 'cross them off' (phrasal verb) rather than 'take them off'. Ensure plural 'appointments' matches meaning. Suggestion: Keep clear word order: object then time expression, and use common phrasal verbs like 'cross off' for completed tasks.

× Yes, I missed an interview last week for a job as a intern in the retail store because I was I was so busy with other commitments that I accidentally forgot about the appointment.

✓ Yes, I missed an interview last week for a job as an intern in a retail store because I was so busy with other commitments that I accidentally forgot about the appointment.

Use the article 'an' before a vowel-sound noun: 'an intern' is correct, not 'a intern'. Also 'a retail store' fits better than 'the retail store' unless a specific store was mentioned. Duplicate 'I was' should be reduced to one. Suggestion: Check for repeated words and correct article use based on whether the noun is specific or general.

× I feel very embarrassed, so I connect them immediately to apologize.

✓ I felt very embarrassed, so I contacted them immediately to apologize.

The context is past (missed interview last week), so verbs should be in past tense: 'feel' -> 'felt', 'connect' -> 'contacted' (past tense). 'Contacted' is the past simple, not past participle alone; here simple past is needed. Also 'them' (referring to interviewers) is fine. Suggestion: Keep verb tense consistent with the time frame; use past simple for completed actions.

× Umm, since I'm not working at the moment, I follow a daily routine.

✓ Umm, since I'm not working at the moment, I follow a daily routine.

This sentence is acceptable grammatically; 'follow' in present simple is appropriate for habitual actions. No correction necessary. Suggestion: None.

× I usually get up at 8, freshen up, and then study for the IELTS test for about 3 to 4 hours.

✓ I usually get up at 8, freshen up, and then study for the IELTS test for about 3 to 4 hours.

This sentence is grammatically correct. The parallel verb forms are consistent. No correction necessary. Suggestion: None.

× I usually type reminders or create a checklist on my phone so I don't forget important things.

✓ I usually type reminders or create checklists on my phone so I don't forget important things.

Original sentence is acceptable, though 'create a checklist' vs 'create checklists' for consistency with 'reminders' plural is optional. No grammatical error that requires change. Suggestion: Maintain number consistency if preferred.

× I find this method very useful because I always have my phone with me a regular check my notifications.

✓ I find this method very useful because I always have my phone with me and regularly check my notifications.

The phrase 'a regular check' is incorrect. Use the conjunction 'and' plus the adverb 'regularly' before the verb 'check' to show frequency. Also 'with me and regularly check' maintains parallel structure. Suggestion: Use adverbs (regularly) to modify verbs and ensure proper conjunctions for compound predicates.
