Memory— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your answer is clear and relevant, but try to avoid filler words like 'umm' and expand slightly with a linking phrase to make your response more fluent and natural. For example, you could explain why you prefer understanding over memorising.

例: No, I'm not very good at memorising things because I find it more effective to understand the material thoroughly. For instance, when studying, I focus on grasping concepts rather than just memorising facts.

提案: Your answer is relevant and includes a personal example, which is good. To improve, try to use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly and avoid repeating words like 'date'.

例: Yes, I have forgotten something important before. For example, I once forgot my dad's birthday, which was really bad because it's a very special occasion for my family.

提案: Your answer lists several things you need to remember, but it lacks linking words and has some grammatical errors. Try to organise your points clearly using linking phrases and correct prepositions.

例: In my daily life, I need to remember several things, such as the day I pay rent and utility bills. Also, I have to keep track of when I need to go to the office and meet deadlines for my studies.

提案: Your answer is understandable but could be more fluent by avoiding fillers like 'umm' and using more natural phrasing. Also, try to use linking words to connect your ideas.

例: I usually set alerts on my phone to help me remember important things. This way, I don't have to rely solely on my memory and can simply check my phone to see my plans for the day or week.

× No, I'm not good at memorizing things. Umm, even when studying, I really prefer to understand things rather than memorizing them.

✓ No, I'm not good at memorizing things. Umm, even when studying, I really prefer to understand things rather than memorising them.

The verb 'memorising' should be in the -ing form consistent with the British English spelling used in the question (memorising vs memorizing). Also, the verb after 'rather than' should be in the -ing form to maintain parallel structure. The original sentence uses 'memorizing' (American spelling) inconsistently and the second 'memorizing' should be 'memorising' to match the first and maintain consistency.

× Yes I have, once I forgot my dad's birthday which was honestly really bad because this date is such an important date for my family.

✓ Yes, I have. Once, I forgot my dad's birthday, which was honestly really bad because this date is such an important date for my family.

The sentence needs commas for clarity and correct punctuation. The past tense 'forgot' is correct here. The issue is more about sentence structure and punctuation rather than tense. However, since the instruction is to correct only grammar mistakes from the list, adding commas improves clarity and correctness.

× I need to remember the day I pay rent, the day I pay services, if I have to go to the office, if I have to meet a due date with my in my studies.

✓ I need to remember the day I pay rent, the day I pay for services, if I have to go to the office, if I have to meet a due date in my studies.

The phrase 'pay services' is incorrect; it should be 'pay for services' because 'pay' requires the preposition 'for' when referring to services. Also, 'meet a due date with my in my studies' is incorrect; it should be 'meet a due date in my studies' to correctly express the context.

× I help myself umm, putting some alerts in my phone so I don't have to remember all of them.

✓ I help myself by putting some alerts on my phone so I don't have to remember all of them.

The verb 'help' when followed by another verb requires 'to' or 'by' before the -ing form. Here, 'help myself by putting' is correct. Also, the preposition 'in' should be 'on' when referring to alerts on a phone.

× I help myself umm, putting some alerts in my phone so I don't have to remember all of them.

✓ I help myself by putting some alerts on my phone so I don't have to remember all of them.

The preposition 'in' is incorrect when referring to alerts on a phone; the correct preposition is 'on'. Also, 'help myself putting' is incorrect; it should be 'help myself by putting' to correctly link the verb and the gerund.

× I just can check my phone and see if I have some plan for the day or for the week.

✓ I can just check my phone and see if I have some plans for the day or for the week.

The modal verb 'can' should be followed by the subject 'I' before the adverb 'just' for correct word order: 'I can just check'. Also, 'some plan' is incorrect; it should be 'some plans' because 'plan' is countable and plural is appropriate here.
