Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Your answer is honest and clear, but it is a bit repetitive and could be more concise. Try to avoid repeating the same idea and use linking words to make your answer flow better. Also, aim to keep your answer within 3-4 sentences for effectiveness.

Ví dụ: To be honest, I'm not very good at memorizing things; however, I learn quickly, even though it takes me some time to remember new information.

Gợi ý: Your answer provides a clear example, but it is somewhat long and slightly repetitive. Try to use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly and avoid repeating words like 'forgot' and 'test' too often. Also, watch for sentence structure to improve clarity.

Ví dụ: Yes, I remember once during a lecture when there were supposed to be two tests. Unfortunately, I forgot that the professor mentioned a second test after the first one, so I left the class early and only realized I missed it when I got home.

Gợi ý: Your answer starts well but ends abruptly and lacks coherence. Avoid filler words like 'umm' and complete your thoughts fully. Use linking words to connect your ideas and provide specific examples clearly. Also, check for grammar, such as 'a eye exam' should be 'an eye exam'.

Ví dụ: I need to remember many things daily, such as my appointments, wake-up times, and work schedule. For instance, I had an eye exam last Thursday, which I had to prepare for in advance.

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and informative but could be more concise and better structured. Use linking words to connect your points and avoid repeating similar phrases. Also, try to combine related ideas into one sentence for clarity.

Ví dụ: I use several tools to remember important things, such as alarms, the Reminder app, and the Notes app, where I often make lists of tasks I need to complete.

× To be very honest, I am not very good at memorizing things, but I am a quick learner but it takes me some time to memorize things.

✓ To be very honest, I am not very good at memorizing things, but I am a quick learner, although it takes me some time to memorize things.

The original sentence incorrectly uses 'but' twice to connect clauses, which is a conjunction misuse (Grammar Problem Type 16). Replacing the second 'but' with 'although' improves sentence structure and clarity.

× Yes, I do remember one time when I was attending my lecture, there had to be two tests and I forgot that the professor said there would be one more test after the first Test and I forgot to give the second test.

✓ Yes, I do remember one time when I was attending my lecture; there were supposed to be two tests, and I forgot that the professor said there would be one more test after the first test, and I forgot to take the second test.

The phrase 'there had to be two tests' is incorrect; the correct form is 'there were supposed to be two tests' to express expectation. Also, 'forgot to give the second test' should be 'forgot to take the second test' because the student is the test taker, not the giver.

× There are many things that I need to remember in my daily life, for example, my appointments, what time I'm waking up, that I have to work.

✓ There are many things that I need to remember in my daily life, for example, my appointments, what time I wake up, and that I have to work.

The phrase 'what time I'm waking up' is incorrect in this context; the simple present 'what time I wake up' is appropriate for habitual actions. Also, adding 'and' before the last item improves sentence flow.

× For example, umm, I had a eye exam last week on Thursday and I.

✓ For example, umm, I had an eye exam last week on Thursday.

The article 'a' should be 'an' before a vowel sound as in 'eye'. Also, the sentence is incomplete; removing the trailing 'and I' corrects the sentence.

× Well, there are many tools and apps that I use to keep track of things. For example, I use alarms and I use Reminder app. I use Notes app often to keep track of things I make list of things that I need to do.

✓ Well, there are many tools and apps that I use to keep track of things. For example, I use alarms and the Reminder app. I often use the Notes app to keep track of things. I make lists of things that I need to do.

The phrase 'I use Reminder app' should include the definite article 'the' as it refers to a specific app. Also, 'I make list' should be 'I make lists' to agree in number. Splitting the last sentence improves clarity and sentence structure.
