Memory— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Improve grammar and conciseness: begin with a clear topic sentence, correct verb forms and articles, and avoid repetition. Use a linking word to add the supporting detail. Also keep responses within 3–4 sentences.

예시: I’m not very good at memorising things. Therefore, I make lists of important chores and put notes in visible places so I don’t forget to do them.

제안: Make the answer more natural and specific: use past tense correctly, avoid awkward phrases, and include a linking word to show result. Mention a concrete detail (e.g., how many days before notifications).

예시: Unfortunately, yes. I once missed several birthdays of close friends and relatives, so I added all their dates to my calendar and set reminders three days before each birthday.

제안: Start with a direct topic sentence, fix grammar (prepositions and contractions), and use a linking word to list specific items. Be slightly more specific about examples of daily items you remember.

예시: I need to remember work deadlines and appointments every day. For example, I use a paper planner for job tasks and my phone calendar for meetings and doctor appointments.

제안: Be concise and precise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct the product name if needed (e.g., 'paper planner' rather than 'PayPal'), and use linking phrases to organise the list. Include a brief example of a reminder type.

예시: I’ve developed a simple system to remember important things. I use my phone calendar for appointments, a paper planner for work tasks, and phone notes for household chores, for example grocery lists and bill deadlines.

× No, I actually have not really good memory, so in order to not forget stuff I keep making lists of important chores and tasks.

✓ No, I actually do not have a very good memory, so in order not to forget things I keep making lists of important chores and tasks.

The original uses incorrect verb phrase and pronoun structures: 'have not really good memory' is ungrammatical. Use auxiliary 'do' for negation with 'have' in this context ('do not have') and 'a very good memory' with article 'a'. 'Stuff' is informal; 'things' is clearer. Also 'in order not to forget' pairs 'in order' with 'not' before the verb. Suggestion: use 'do not have a very good memory' and prefer 'things' in formal responses. Grammar problem type ID: 12

× And I also try to keep notes on visible places so I would not forget to do something important.

✓ I also try to keep notes in visible places so I will not forget to do something important.

'On visible places' is incorrect preposition use and collocation; use 'in visible places' or 'in places where they are visible'. The conditional/modal 'would' is inappropriate here; use 'will' to indicate intention/result. Suggestion: use 'in visible places' and 'so I will not forget'. Grammar problem type ID: 11

× Unfortunately, yes, there are too many forgotten birthdays of people I love of close friends and relatives.

✓ Unfortunately, yes, there are too many forgotten birthdays of close friends and relatives, people I love.

Word order and preposition 'of' repeated cause confusion. 'People I love of close friends' is ungrammatical. Reorder to 'birthdays of close friends and relatives, people I love' or 'birthdays of people I love, such as close friends and relatives.' Suggestion: place the modifier after the noun and avoid extra 'of'. Grammar problem type ID: 26

× And after some time and probably tense forgotten birthday, I decided to Add all of them into my calendar and receive notifications few days prior to the birthday.

✓ After some time and probably after a tense forgotten birthday, I decided to add all of them to my calendar and receive notifications a few days before each birthday.

Several issues: 'Add' should be lowercase 'add'. 'After some time and probably tense forgotten birthday' is ungrammatical; insert 'after' and an article: 'after a tense forgotten birthday.' 'Add all of them into my calendar' — use 'add ... to my calendar' not 'into'. 'Receive notifications few days prior to the birthday' needs article 'a few days' and preposition 'before' and pluralize to 'each birthday' for clarity. Suggestion: use correct articles, prepositions, and verb forms: 'add ... to my calendar' and 'a few days before each birthday.' Grammar problem type ID: 5

× Lists and planners really help me to keep everything in track and don't forget important things.

✓ Lists and planners really help me to keep everything on track and not forget important things.

Use the idiom 'on track' not 'in track'. Also 'don't' should match the subject and form: after 'help me to' use 'not forget' or 'from forgetting'; better: 'help me to keep everything on track and not forget important things.' Suggestion: use idiomatic preposition 'on' and maintain parallel structure ('to keep' ... 'and not forget'). Grammar problem type ID: 11

× So I use paper planner for my job tasks and I use calendar in my phone to note important meetings and appointments.

✓ So I use a paper planner for my job tasks and I use the calendar on my phone to note important meetings and appointments.

Missing articles: 'a paper planner' and 'the calendar' are needed. Preposition 'in my phone' is incorrect; use 'on my phone.' Suggestion: include appropriate articles and use 'on' for devices: 'on my phone.' Grammar problem type ID: 22

× I actually have established a whole system to remember all the important stuff I need to do or get ready for.

✓ I have actually established a whole system to remember all the important stuff I need to do or get ready for.

This sentence is mostly acceptable but word order 'I actually have established' is less natural than 'I have actually established' or 'I actually established' depending on emphasis. Also 'get ready for' is a dangling preposition; better: 'get ready for' what? To be clearer: 'get ready for them' or 'prepare for them.' Suggestion: use 'prepare for' or add the object: 'get ready for things.' Grammar problem type ID: 8

× So I use my phone calendar for appointments and meetings, I use PayPal paper planner for my job tasks and I use my phone notes for other chores.

✓ So I use my phone's calendar for appointments and meetings, a PayPal paper planner for my job tasks, and my phone notes for other chores.

Use possessive 'my phone's calendar' or 'the calendar on my phone' instead of 'my phone calendar.' 'PayPal paper planner' needs an article: 'a PayPal paper planner.' Also use commas and 'and' for correct coordination. Suggestion: use possessive for device features and include articles where needed. Grammar problem type ID: 22
