× I used to go to a mental arithmetic lessons and it helped me a lot at memorizing calculating things
✓ I used to go to mental arithmetic lessons and it helped me a lot with memorizing calculating things
The phrase 'a mental arithmetic lessons' incorrectly mixes singular article 'a' with plural noun 'lessons'. The article should be removed to correctly match the plural noun. Also, 'at memorizing calculating things' is awkward; 'with memorizing calculating things' is more natural.
× it helped me a lot at memorizing calculating things
✓ it helped me a lot with memorizing and calculating things
The preposition 'at' is incorrectly used before the gerund phrase. The correct preposition is 'with'. Also, 'memorizing calculating things' lacks conjunction; adding 'and' clarifies the meaning.
× and nowadays I do it on.
✓ and nowadays I still do it.
The phrase 'do it on' is incorrect and incomplete. The correct expression is 'still do it' to indicate continuation in the present.
× there's a thing that everyone experienced.
✓ there's a thing that everyone has experienced.
The verb 'experienced' should be in the present perfect tense 'has experienced' to indicate an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past relevant to the present.
× I forgot, umm, to tell my parents that I'm going to camp with my friends.
✓ I forgot, umm, to tell my parents that I was going to camp with my friends.
The reported speech should be in past tense to match the past tense 'forgot'. 'I'm going' should be changed to 'I was going'.
× I think we should be mindful of other people emotions and really take care of people who we close with.
✓ I think we should be mindful of other people's emotions and really take care of people who are close to us.
The phrase 'other people emotions' lacks possessive form; it should be 'other people's emotions'. Also, 'people who we close with' is incorrect; it should be 'people who are close to us'.
× people who we close with
✓ people who are close to us
The pronoun usage is incorrect; 'we close with' should be replaced with 'are close to us' to correctly express the relationship.
× I usually try to keep it in my mind, but sometimes when I know that I'll definitely forget about it, I just take notes.
✓ I usually try to keep it in my mind, but sometimes when I know that I'll definitely forget it, I just take notes.
The preposition 'about' is unnecessary after 'forget'. The correct phrase is 'forget it'.
× And then I came back to them and read them and I'd be like, oh OK, I have to do this.
✓ And then I come back to them and read them and I'm like, oh OK, I have to do this.
The sentence mixes past tense 'came back' with present tense 'I'd be like'. To maintain consistency, present tense is preferred here as it describes habitual action.
