Are you good at memorising things?
Candidato
I wouldn't say I'm the best at memorizing things, as I'm more of an understanding person. I would definitely rather understand the concept of something rather than memorize it word for word. However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize it by linking the linking it to other things rather than photographic.

Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidato
I have forgotten important things before multiple times. For example, the other day I had a very important dentist appointment, I had to wake up early for it, and I completely forgot to set up my alarm, which is an example of a time that I forgot something. I tend to forget things more often when I'm thinking about other things.

One of the things I need to remember in my daily life is praying and school, work and homework. Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle when I have other things going on and they occupy my day with lots of stuff, but there are some things that can help me remember these things.

How do you remember important things?

Sometimes I put the important tasks that I need to do throughout my day on my Reminders app, which gives me a notification of the time that I set up in the app earlier when I'm supposed to do the task.

× However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize it by linking the linking it to other things rather than photographic.
✓ However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize them by linking them to other things rather than photographically.
The sentence contains repetition ('linking the linking it') and incorrect use of 'photographic' as an adjective instead of the adverb 'photographically'. Also, 'it' should be 'them' to agree with the plural 'things'. Correcting these improves clarity and grammatical accuracy.
× However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize it by linking the linking it to other things rather than photographic.
✓ However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize them by linking them to other things rather than photographically.
The pronoun 'it' is used incorrectly to refer to 'things', which is plural. The correct pronoun is 'them' to maintain singular/plural agreement.
× However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize it by linking the linking it to other things rather than photographic.
✓ However, when I do tend to memorize things, I memorize them by linking them to other things rather than photographically.
The phrase 'linking the linking it' is redundant and disrupts sentence flow. Removing the repetition corrects the sentence structure.
× I have forgotten important things before multiple times.
✓ I have forgotten important things multiple times before.
The adverbial phrase 'multiple times' is better placed before 'before' for natural English word order.
× For example, the other day I had a very important dentist appointment, I had to wake up early for it, and I completely forgot to set up my alarm, which is an example of a time that I forgot something.
✓ For example, the other day I had a very important dentist appointment; I had to wake up early for it, and I completely forgot to set my alarm, which is an example of a time when I forgot something.
The original sentence is a run-on sentence. Using a semicolon or splitting into two sentences improves clarity. Also, 'set up my alarm' is better as 'set my alarm' in this context, and 'a time that' should be 'a time when' for correct relative clause usage.
× I tend to forget things more often when I'm thinking about other things.
✓ I tend to forget things more often when I'm thinking of other things.
The preposition 'thinking about' is acceptable, but 'thinking of' is more commonly used when referring to recalling or remembering, which fits the context better.
× One of the things I need to remember in my daily life is praying and school, work and homework.
✓ One of the things I need to remember in my daily life is praying and my schoolwork and homework.
'School, work and homework' is awkward; combining 'schoolwork and homework' as uncountable nouns is clearer. Also, adding 'my' clarifies possession.
× Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle when I have other things going on and they occupy my day with lots of stuff, but there are some things that can help me remember these things.
✓ Sometimes it's a little bit of a struggle when I have other things going on that occupy my day with lots of stuff, but there are some things that can help me remember these things.
Using 'and' to connect 'other things going on' and 'they occupy my day' creates a run-on. Replacing 'and' with 'that' forms a relative clause, improving sentence structure.
× Sometimes I put the important tasks that I need to do throughout my day on my Reminders app, which gives me a notification of the time that I set up in the app earlier when I'm supposed to do the task.
✓ Sometimes I put the important tasks that I need to do throughout my day into my Reminders app, which gives me a notification at the time that I set in the app earlier when I'm supposed to do the task.
The preposition 'on' is incorrect for placing tasks into an app; 'into' is appropriate. Also, 'notification of the time' should be 'notification at the time' for correct prepositional use. 'Set up' is better as 'set' here because 'set up' implies installation or configuration, while 'set' refers to scheduling.
