× No, I am not good at writing.
✓ No, I am not good at memorizing things.
The student's response uses 'writing' which does not match the examiner's question about memorising; this is a lexical error rather than grammar. According to the allowed list, treat it as an incorrect adjective/adverb usage because the adjective phrase is inappropriate. Suggestion: use vocabulary that matches the question topic ('memorizing things') to answer accurately.
× Actually I forget what I had dinner last year last yesterday and I I feel sick of memorizing things because of some exams.
✓ Actually I forget what I had for dinner yesterday, and I feel sick of memorizing things because of some exams.
Errors include incorrect tense and redundant time expressions. 'Had dinner last year last yesterday' mixes past time markers; 'forget' should be present simple to indicate a habitual problem but 'had' for past action needs 'for' before 'dinner'. Also duplicated 'I'. Suggestion: use 'forget' for general habits and 'yesterday' only once; include 'for' with 'dinner' ('had for dinner'). Remove duplicate words.
× Yes, I I've ever forgotten something important.
✓ Yes, I have forgotten something important.
The sentence incorrectly combines contracted 'I've' with 'ever', and 'ever' is unnecessary in this context. Use present perfect 'have forgotten' (I have forgotten) to indicate an experience. Suggestion: use 'I have forgotten' or 'I've forgotten' without 'ever' unless in a question or negative context.
× I forget I forgot my password of my cell phone.
✓ I forgot the password of my cell phone.
The student uses both present and past ('I forget I forgot'). For a completed past event, use simple past 'forgot'. Also use 'the password' rather than 'my password of my cell phone' or better 'my cell phone password'. Suggestion: say 'I forgot my cell phone password.'
× So I asked to my friends what I would like to set an passport.
✓ So I asked my friends how I could set a password.
Errors: 'asked to my friends' should be 'asked my friends' (no 'to'); 'what I would like to set' is incorrect for asking for instructions—use 'how I could set'; 'an passport' wrong article and word—use 'a password'. Suggestion: use correct verb-complement patterns ('ask someone how to do something') and correct articles.
× I have to drink how many cups I drink of water or what I had for lunch and dinner, and I have to remember when I have to go to the school.
✓ I have to keep track of how many cups of water I drink, what I have for lunch and dinner, and when I have to go to school.
Multiple tense and word-order problems. 'I have to drink how many cups I drink of water' is ungrammatical; use 'keep track of how many cups of water I drink'. 'What I had for lunch and dinner' mixes past with habitual present—use present 'have' for habitual situations. 'Go to the school' uses unnecessary definite article; say 'go to school'. Suggestion: use consistent present tense for habitual duties and correct word order ('how many cups of water I drink').
× I remember important things by writing on the paper and noticing to my family and my friends, because if I tell it to my nearby person, they can tell tell about that if I forget.
✓ I remember important things by writing them on paper and telling my family and friends, because if I tell someone nearby, they can remind me if I forget.
Multiple issues: 'writing on the paper' should be 'writing them on paper' (object and article). 'Noticing to my family' is incorrect—use 'telling' or 'informing'. 'If I tell it to my nearby person' is unnatural; use 'tell someone nearby'. Duplicate 'tell'. Also 'they can tell tell about that' should be 'they can remind me'. Suggestion: use gerund forms correctly ('by writing... and telling...') and appropriate verbs ('remind me').
