Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to use correct verb tenses and clearer expressions. Also, avoid unclear phrases like 'an A paragraph with Justin at once'. Keep your answer concise and directly related to the question.

Example: No, I'm not very good at memorising things now, but when I was younger, my memory was better. For example, I could easily memorise short paragraphs quickly, but nowadays I find it more difficult.

Suggestion: Use correct verb forms such as 'forgotten' instead of 'forgot'. Also, try to organise your answer with linking words to make it clearer and more natural.

Example: Yes, I have forgotten something important before. For instance, I missed an exam last year, which meant I scored zero and had to retake the class the following year. It was a very unpleasant experience.

Suggestion: Try to avoid repetition and use linking words to make your answer more coherent. Also, be more specific about the routines and important things you need to remember.

Example: In my daily life, I need to remember routines such as when to attend lessons and important dates like exam times. These help me stay organised and avoid missing anything important.

Suggestion: Use more natural phrasing and correct grammar, for example, 'set alarms' instead of 'set some clocks'. Also, explain briefly how these methods help you.

Example: To remember important things, I usually write notes and set alarms on my phone. This way, I get reminders and don't forget to complete tasks on time.

× No I'm not, but when I was younger I can memorize things better.

✓ No I'm not, but when I was younger I could memorize things better.

The sentence refers to a past ability, so the modal verb 'can' should be changed to 'could' to correctly express past ability.

× Like I can recite an A paragraph with Justin at once, but now my memory is decreasing.

✓ Like I can recite a paragraph with Justin at once, but now my memory is decreasing.

The article 'an' is incorrectly used before 'A paragraph'. It should be 'a paragraph' because 'paragraph' starts with a consonant sound.

× Yes I have forgot, I forgot an exam last year and then I got a 0 score and I have to retake the class one year later which is a bad experience.

✓ Yes I have forgotten, I forgot an exam last year and then I got a 0 score and I had to retake the class one year later which was a bad experience.

The past participle of 'forget' is 'forgotten', so 'have forgot' should be 'have forgotten'. Also, 'have to retake' should be in past tense 'had to retake' to match the past event, and 'is a bad experience' should be 'was a bad experience' to maintain past tense consistency.

× I think some daily routines and something important like exams, the time of exams, the time of when to take the lessons, those are very important.

✓ I think some daily routines and important things like exams, the time of exams, and when to take the lessons are very important.

The phrase 'the time of when to take the lessons' is awkward and redundant. It is better to say 'when to take the lessons'. Also, 'something important' should be plural 'important things' to match the list.

× For some important things, I will note them down and set some clocks so that it would Alert me to do things not to forget them.

✓ For some important things, I will note them down and set some clocks so that they will alert me to do things and not forget them.

The modal verb 'would' is incorrect here; 'will' is appropriate for future intention. 'Alert' should not be capitalized. Also, 'it' should be 'they' to agree with the plural 'clocks'. The phrase 'to do things not to forget them' is unclear and improved to 'to do things and not forget them'.
