Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more relevant and direct: answer the question about memorising, start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details. Avoid repetition and filler words (uh). Use linking words to connect ideas.

Example: Yes, I am fairly good at memorising things. For example, this year I memorised my match strategies and rules for a fencing competition, which helped me win first place. Therefore, I believe my memory is an important strength for my sport.

Suggestion: Answer directly with a clear tense and one or two concrete examples. Use past simple for specific past events and add a reason or result. Reduce vague phrasing like “always” unless accurate.

Example: Yes, I have forgotten important things before. For instance, I once missed the date of a local competition because I confused the schedule, so I now set calendar alerts to avoid this happening again.

Suggestion: Start with a clear topic sentence stating what you need to remember, then give specific reasons and how you manage it. Use linking words like because and therefore, and avoid repeating the same idea.

Example: I need to remember my training sessions every day because they prepare me for competitions. Therefore, I always save the dates and times in my phone calendar and set reminders so I don't miss practice.

Suggestion: Give a structured answer: state your main method, then add specific tools and an example of how you use them. Remove fillers and use linking words for clarity.

Example: I use several methods to remember important things. First, I write tasks in a physical planner and also add them to my phone calendar; then I set two reminders and use a timer for urgent tasks, for example an alarm 30 minutes before training.

× Yes, I always forgotten something important like a competition, the days and important like a rules and I think this need to remind but I forgot it.

✓ Yes, I always forget something important, like a competition date or important rules, and I think these need reminders, but I forget them.

The student used 'always forgotten' which is incorrect because 'forgotten' is a past participle that requires a helping verb (have/has) for the present perfect. The meaning (habit) calls for the simple present 'forget' or the present perfect 'have always forgotten' with correct structure. Also plural/singular errors: 'a rules' should be 'rules' or 'a rule'; 'the days' unclear so clarified as 'date'. Pronoun agreement: 'it' should be 'them' for plural. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual actions ('I always forget'), ensure noun number agreement ('rules' not 'a rules'), and match pronouns to plural nouns ('them').

× For example, need to go to training because training is very important for me because I always go to the join other competition and I need to always remember them to uh, go to training and I will set the time and date in my phone at.

✓ For example, I need to go to training because training is very important to me; I often join other competitions, so I always have to remember to go to training, and I set the time and date in my phone.

The original sentence lacks a subject at the start ('need to go' should be 'I need to go'), and uses incorrect phrase 'go to the join other competition'. 'Join other competitions' (plural) with appropriate verb form fixes meaning. 'Need to always remember them to go to training' is awkward and has pronoun issues; clarified to 'remember to go to training'. 'I will set the time and date in my phone at' is incomplete; changed to present simple 'I set the time and date in my phone' to match habitual context. Suggestion: always include a subject, use consistent verb forms for habits (simple present), and place infinitives correctly ('remember to do something').

× Yes, I am good at managing things because I have, uh, in this year I got champion in the fencing competition and I think that memory is my very unexpected and also this is my experience and I think, uh, that's good. Uh, good.

✓ Yes, I'm good at managing things because this year I became champion in a fencing competition, and I think memory was an unexpected advantage; this is my experience, so I think that's good.

The student used 'I have, uh, in this year I got champion' which mixes tenses and uses awkward phrasing. Use 'this year I became champion' or 'I won the fencing competition this year' for clear past action. 'Memory is my very unexpected' is ungrammatical; use 'memory was an unexpected advantage' or 'an unexpected strength'. Also article use: 'the fencing competition' can be 'a fencing competition' unless a specific one is known. Suggestion: keep tense consistent (past simple for completed events this year), use correct nouns ('advantage' or 'strength') and appropriate articles.

× I will jot down, uh, schedule book or in my schedule, both in my phone and then double, uh, remind, remind me and then I can use some, uh, timer to remind.

✓ I jot things down in my schedule book and in my phone, set two reminders, and I can also use a timer to remind me.

The original mixes future 'I will jot down' with habitual context; simple present 'I jot' fits routines. 'Schedule book or in my schedule' is redundant; clarified to 'schedule book and in my phone'. Phrase 'double... remind, remind me' is ungrammatical; use 'set two reminders' or 'set double reminders'. 'Use some timer to remind' should be 'use a timer to remind me' — include the object of remind. Suggestion: use concise parallel structures for lists, maintain consistent tense for habits, and include objects for verbs like 'remind'.
