Are you good at memorising things?
Điểm: 52.0Gợi ý: Be more direct and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence stating whether you are good at memorising, then give one specific reason and a brief example. Avoid filler words (uh, like) and repetition. Keep it to 2–3 sentences and use a linking word if adding a reason.
Ví dụ: Yes, I’m fairly good at memorising. For example, I often remember procedures and tasks after practising them a few times, which helps me perform well in exams and assignments.

× I think I excel at this, recalling things that I have done before, like I need some practicing.
✓ I think I excel at this, recalling things I have done before, but I need some practice.
The sentence uses 'practicing' incorrectly as a noun; 'practice' is the correct noun form. Also 'like' is informal and causes sentence fragment; replace with 'but' to contrast. Use 'things I have done' without 'that' for conciseness.
× But yeah, if I, uh, I think practice can make it perfect, OK.
✓ But yeah, I think practice can make it perfect.
Remove disfluencies ('if I, uh, I') for clarity. 'Practice' is correct noun; no -ing needed. Keep simple present 'can make' to express general truth.
× Yes I have like there was a harm that I forgot.
✓ Yes, I have forgotten something important before.
Original mixes present perfect 'I have' with past clause 'there was a harm' awkwardly. Use 'I have forgotten' (present perfect) to indicate past experience; 'harm' is inappropriate—use 'something important'.
× I need to unload the courses in my university studying.
✓ I needed to drop some courses in my university studies.
Use simple past 'needed' if referring to past event; 'unload' is incorrect collocation—use 'drop' or 'withdraw from' courses. 'Studying' should be plural noun 'studies'.
× So I need to have like special request for the facult tutor.
✓ So I needed to submit a special request to the faculty tutor.
Use 'a special request' with indefinite article. 'Facult' is misspelled; use 'faculty tutor'. Adjust tense to past 'needed' to match context.
× I need to send special request to the faculty so I can.
✓ I needed to send a special request to the faculty so I could.
Include article 'a' before 'special request' and use past tense 'needed'/'could' to complete the clause. 'So I can' is incomplete; 'so I could' matches past context.
× This day I have to submit the, uh, internship form every day, so I will have like somewhere to, umm, accept me eventually.
✓ These days I have to submit the internship form every day so I will have somewhere that can accept me eventually.
Use 'these days' to refer to current period. Remove filler words. 'Somewhere to accept me' is ungrammatical; use 'somewhere that can accept me' or 'an organization that will accept me'.
× So yeah, that's what I need to, uh, memorize this day and something like kind of basic.
✓ So yeah, that's what I need to memorize these days; it's something quite basic.
Change 'this day' to 'these days' for ongoing action. Remove filler language. 'Something like kind of basic' is vague and ungrammatical; use 'it's something quite basic'.
× I like to do the checklist because it can have the umm, I can see what I have done from the tick and what I haven't done from the umm the list that I have list before.
✓ I like to make a checklist because I can see what I have done from the ticks and what I haven't done from the list I made before.
Use 'make a checklist' not 'do the checklist'. 'It can have the umm' is unclear and removed. Use plural 'ticks' for items checked. 'The list that I have list before' is ungrammatical; use 'the list I made before' or 'previous list'.
