Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question, but you can improve by giving one brief example and using a linking word to make it more coherent. Also avoid repeating similar words (memorizing/memorize) and keep it within 2–3 sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, I'm fairly good at memorising things because I make associations in my head. For example, I link new vocabulary to images or familiar words, which helps me recall them quickly.

Gợi ý: The content is relevant but the answer is disjointed and has a punctuation/fluency issue. Combine the ideas into one or two coherent sentences, use a linking word (for example, and), and give a brief consequence or reaction to make it more informative.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. For example, I once left my laptop on the porch and, as a result, I felt very anxious until I retrieved it; I have also forgotten an important person's birthday, which taught me to set reminders.

Gợi ý: Your answer lists relevant items but is slightly awkward grammatically. Start with a clear topic sentence and then list 3–4 specific items using linking words like such as or including. Keep it concise and natural.

Ví dụ: In my daily life I need to remember several practical things, such as my lecture times, bus routes and schedules, and important upcoming events or exams.

Gợi ý: This is a strong answer with useful details and coherence. To further improve, combine into fewer sentences using linking words (for example, and therefore) and add a brief example of how these methods helped you avoid a problem.

Ví dụ: I usually note important things down: I carry a pocket notebook and also use my phone's calendar to set reminders, so I don't miss lectures or deadlines; for instance, a calendar alert once saved me from missing an exam.

× I once left my laptop. On the porch and I once forgot a really important person's birthday.

✓ I once left my laptop on the porch, and I once forgot a really important person's birthday.

The original text incorrectly breaks a single idea into fragments with an isolated sentence 'On the porch' causing a sentence structure error (fragment). Combine the clause with the previous sentence using a comma and conjunction 'and' to form a complete, grammatically correct compound sentence. Suggestion: avoid creating sentence fragments; connect related clauses with appropriate punctuation and conjunctions.

× If you mean my requirements in my day-to-day life that I need to keep track of are my lectures, bus routes, transportation, important upcoming events and exams.

✓ If you mean the things I need to keep track of in my day-to-day life, they are my lectures, bus routes, transportation, and important upcoming events and exams.

The original sentence has awkward word order and a missing main verb structure, causing a sentence structure error. Reorder the clause for clarity and supply a clear subject ('they') and verb ('are'). Suggestion: restructure conditional openings ('If you mean ... , they are ...') and place the list after the verb for smoother flow.

× I like to note down things that are important.

✓ I like to note down things that are important.

This sentence is grammatically correct and requires no change. 'To note down' and the relative clause 'that are important' are correctly used.

× I have a pocket notebook that I keep on me at all times.

✓ I have a pocket notebook that I carry with me at all times.

While the original is understandable, 'keep on me' is informal and slightly awkward in standard usage. Replacing it with 'carry with me' improves register and clarity. This is a sentence-level wording/style suggestion rather than a strict grammatical correction.

× My calendar app in my phone also has space to write down reminders and notes, and I utilize these features and resources.

✓ The calendar app on my phone also has space to write down reminders and notes, and I use these features and resources.

'My calendar app in my phone' is awkward; 'on my phone' is the idiomatic prepositional choice (preposition usage tied to sentence structure). 'Utilize' is formal and verbose; 'use' is clearer in spoken context. Suggestion: prefer 'on my phone' and simpler verbs in spoken answers.
