考官
Are you good at memorising things?
考生
Yes, I would say that I am particularly good at memorizing things like people's name and faces. Moreover, I also remember my friend's birthday. However, I'm not very good at memorizing things like things related to academics like historical dates, formulas. I tend to forget these unless I remember.
考官
Have you ever forgotten something important?
考生
Yes, I can vividly remember a particular incident when I forgot something very important. I had an appointment with a dentist which I completely forgot about. I think it happened because the previous day I had an important exam and I was preparing for it quite late at night. So naturally I woke up very pretty late the next day and forgot about it.
考官

How do you remember important things?

I memorize important things, like things related to my academics, by revising them again and again. I set a timer and I revise everything, and that's how I remember it.

× Yes, I would say that I am particularly good at memorizing things like people's name and faces.
✓ Yes, I would say that I am particularly good at memorizing things like people's names and faces.
The word 'name' should be plural 'names' because it refers to multiple people, so the singular form is incorrect here.
× Moreover, I also remember my friend's birthday.
✓ Moreover, I also remember my friends' birthdays.
Since the speaker refers to multiple friends, the possessive form should be plural 'friends'' and 'birthdays' should be plural to match multiple friends' birthdays.
× However, I'm not very good at memorizing things like things related to academics like historical dates, formulas.
✓ However, I'm not very good at memorizing things related to academics, like historical dates and formulas.
The phrase 'things like things' is redundant; removing the first 'things' improves clarity. Also, 'historical dates, formulas' should be connected with 'and' for proper listing.
× So naturally I woke up very pretty late the next day and forgot about it.
✓ So naturally I woke up pretty late the next day and forgot about it.
The phrase 'very pretty late' is incorrect; 'pretty late' is the correct adverbial phrase meaning 'quite late'.
