Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Make your answer grammatically correct, more concise, and use a clear topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details with linking words. Avoid repetition and use appropriate verb forms (e.g., 'remember' → 'remembering').

Ví dụ: Not really. I’m not good at remembering things, so I rely on a to-do list in my notebook or on my phone. Because of this, reminders help me stay organised and avoid forgetting daily tasks.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence, correct tense and phrasing, and finish the story with a clear outcome or lesson. Use linking words (for example, 'because' or 'so') and avoid trailing off without finishing the thought.

Ví dụ: Yes. Once I forgot to submit an assignment that counted for nearly 40% of my grade, so I asked my parents to bring it to school. Because of that experience I now set reminders and double-check deadlines to avoid repeating the same mistake.

Gợi ý: Open with a clear topic sentence, then list items using concise language and linking words (first, second). Use correct grammar (e.g., 'bring my keys', 'a cell phone can be used to pay for things'). Be specific about reasons but keep it brief (max 5 sentences).

Ví dụ: I need to remember a few essentials. First, my keys, because without them I can’t get into my home. Second, my phone, since I use it to contact my family and make payments when needed.

Gợi ý: Begin with a clear topic sentence, use correct verbs and vocabulary (e.g., 'set a reminder on my phone' not 'create a reminder on my cell'), and add one specific example of a reminder. Use linking words like 'for example' to make it coherent.

Ví dụ: I usually set reminders on my phone to remember important tasks. For example, I set an alarm the night before big deadlines so I get a notification and don’t need to write everything in a notebook.

× No, I'm not good at remember things because I am a person who will already write the To Do List on my notebook or in my cell phone.

✓ No, I'm not good at remembering things because I usually write a to-do list in my notebook or on my cell phone.

Type 8/27: After 'good at' the verb should be in the -ing form (gerund), not the base form. 'Remember' should be 'remembering'. Also 'will already write' is unnatural for habitual action; use 'usually write'. Use 'a to-do list' (article) and 'in' vs 'on' for notebook/phone: 'in my notebook' and 'on my cell phone'. Keep tense simple present for habits.

× I need to be reminded what should I do every day, so I'm not a very good memorizer.

✓ I need to be reminded what I should do every day, so I'm not a very good memorizer.

Type 26/8: In indirect questions the subject and auxiliary invert differently than in direct questions. 'what should I do' is a direct question order; in a statement it should be 'what I should do'. Keep modal 'should' in its correct position. The rest of the sentence uses simple present correctly for a general statement.

× Yes, there was one time that I forgot the homework and the homework took account for almost 40% of my grade.

✓ Yes, there was one time when I forgot my homework, and it accounted for almost 40% of my grade.

Type 5/22: Use 'when' rather than 'that' after 'one time'. 'The homework' is better as 'my homework' to show possession. 'Took account for' is incorrect; use past tense 'accounted for'. Use a comma and split for clarity.

× I called my parents to ask them to send it to school for me.

✓ I called my parents and asked them to send it to school for me.

Type 12/26: Parallel actions are more natural in past simple: 'called' and 'asked' rather than 'called... to ask' which is possible but sounds less direct. This correction also clarifies sequence and keeps past-tense consistency.

× But I think it is really important that I should remember things like.

✓ But I think it is really important that I should remember things like that.

Type 26: The sentence is incomplete; 'things like' requires 'that' or an example. Adding 'that' completes the clause. In this context 'should' is acceptable to express obligation.

× The first thing that I need to remember is bring my keys with me because without the keys I won't be able to go home.

✓ The first thing that I need to remember is to bring my keys with me because without them I won't be able to get into my home.

Type 6/8: After 'is' when stating what to remember, use the infinitive 'to bring' rather than base form. Use pronoun 'them' for 'keys' (plural) to avoid repetition. 'Go home' is acceptable but 'get into my home' clarifies 'with the keys' meaning entry.

× The second thing is that I should always bring my cell phone because cell phone can pay things and contact my parents.

✓ The second thing is that I should always bring my cell phone because my cell phone can be used to pay for things and contact my parents.

Type 12/11/22: Use 'my cell phone' rather than repeating 'cell phone' without an article. Add 'be used to' or 'can be used to' to make the function clear. Include 'for' after 'pay' ('pay for things'). Maintain present simple for general ability.

× So I think that are the things that I should remember to take with me in my daily life.

✓ So I think those are the things I should remember to take with me in my daily life.

Type 27/26: 'That are' is incorrect word order; use 'those are' to point to plural items. Also 'that I should' is wordy; 'I should remember to take with me' is clearer. Keep present simple for habitual actions.

× I memorize things that are important by creating a reminder on my cell.

✓ I remember important things by creating a reminder on my phone.

Type 8/6: 'Memorize' is not wrong but 'remember' is more natural here. 'By creating a reminder' is fine; 'on my cell' is colloquial—use 'on my phone'. Use present simple for habitual action.

× The reminder will notice me whenever I need to do that thing or bring the thing that I need.

✓ The reminder notifies me whenever I need to do something or bring something I need.

Type 20/8: 'Will notice me' is incorrect because reminders don't 'notice' people; they 'notify'. For habitual uses, present simple 'notifies' is better than future 'will notify'. Also use 'something' rather than 'that thing' for natural phrasing and avoid repetition.

× I think it's very convenient because I wouldn't need to write it on the notebook.

✓ I think it's very convenient because I don't need to write it in a notebook.

Type 6/5: Use present simple 'don't need' to express a general truth about convenience. 'Wouldn't need' suggests a conditional; not appropriate here. Use 'in a notebook' not 'on the notebook'.
