× I'm quite good at memorizing things but this thing is like chatting or some information but not in the school study things because I always forget those kind of things.
✓ I'm quite good at memorizing things, but this is like chatting or some information, not school study things, because I always forget those kinds of things.
The phrase 'this thing is like chatting' is awkward and unclear; 'this is like chatting' is clearer. Also, 'those kind of things' should be 'those kinds of things' because 'those' is plural, so the quantifier 'kinds' must be plural to agree.
× But if someone tells if someone told me like that, I really never forgot it.
✓ But if someone tells me like that, I really never forget it.
The sentence mixes tenses incorrectly. 'If someone tells me' is present tense, so the result clause should be present tense 'I really never forget it' instead of past 'forgot'. Also, the phrase 'if someone told me like that' is redundant and confusing; it should be simplified.
× Yes, I forgot my mom's birthday because in that time I had too many studies all my days and I studied every day every night.
✓ Yes, I forgot my mom's birthday because at that time I had too many studies every day and studied every night.
The phrase 'in that time' should be 'at that time' to indicate a specific time. 'All my days' is awkward; 'every day' is more natural. Also, 'I studied every day every night' is redundant; 'studied every night' suffices.
× So I just accidentally forget my mom's birthday and I remember it's when it's all.
✓ So I just accidentally forgot my mom's birthday and I remember when it was.
The verb 'forget' should be in past tense 'forgot' to match the past event. The phrase 'I remember it's when it's all' is unclear and ungrammatical; 'I remember when it was' is clearer and grammatically correct.
× That to be myself because in my society there are many things that change that makes someone to change and I don't want to change and lose myself.
✓ That is to be myself because in my society there are many things that change and make someone change, and I don't want to change and lose myself.
The phrase 'makes someone to change' should be 'make someone change' because 'make' is followed by the bare infinitive without 'to'. Also, the sentence was missing the verb 'is' after 'That'.
× So this is my daily reminder every day to remember who I am.
✓ So this is my daily reminder to remember who I am every day.
The phrase 'daily reminder every day' is redundant; placing 'every day' at the end clarifies the meaning and improves sentence flow.
× Uh, sometimes I use my mobile phone and read it, read everything in my notes, umm, and otherwise I use my notebook and I read, I write down everything so when I need to.
✓ Uh, sometimes I use my mobile phone to read everything in my notes, and otherwise I use my notebook where I write down everything so I can refer to it when I need to.
The phrase 'read it' is unclear; specifying 'read everything in my notes' clarifies the object. The sentence was incomplete and lacked clarity; adding 'where I write down everything so I can refer to it when I need to' completes the thought and improves coherence.
