Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and 'umm' to make your answer sound more natural and confident. Also, use correct prepositions such as 'good at' instead of 'good in'. Keep your sentences clear and concise without redundancy.

Ví dụ: Honestly, I'm not very good at memorising things. I often forget my phone and keys, so I rely heavily on technology like alarms and reminders to keep track of important items.

Gợi ý: Reduce the use of filler words and combine related ideas using linking words like 'so' or 'therefore' to improve coherence. Also, use past tense consistently and avoid redundancy.

Ví dụ: Yes, I once forgot my husband's birthday, which was very disappointing for both of us. To make up for it, I organised an apology party. Fortunately, he appreciated my effort and accepted my gift, so since then I always set reminders to avoid such mistakes.

Gợi ý: Avoid repeating the same idea and use linking words to connect sentences smoothly. Also, try to provide more specific examples of what you need to remember daily.

Ví dụ: I rely heavily on my mobile phone to remember important things. For example, I use the notes app to jot down tasks and set reminders or alarms for appointments and deadlines.

Gợi ý: Try to complete your sentences fully and avoid repetition. Use linking words like 'therefore' or 'so' to connect ideas logically. Also, be specific about the types of important things you remember.

Ví dụ: I'm generally not good at remembering things, so I use the notes app and reminders on my phone. I also set multiple alarms for important events like meetings or deadlines to ensure I don't forget them.

× Honestly, I'm not uh, good in memorizing things.

✓ Honestly, I'm not uh, good at memorizing things.

The correct preposition to use with 'good' when referring to ability is 'at', not 'in'. So, 'good at memorizing things' is correct.

× I often forget my phone, my keys, and I have to heavily rely on tech, especially uh, like alarms, reminders to keep track of things.

✓ I often forget my phone, my keys, and I have to heavily rely on tech, especially uh, like alarms and reminders to keep track of things.

When listing items, 'and' should be used before the last item to connect them properly. 'Alarms, reminders' should be 'alarms and reminders'.

× Ah yes, I once forgot my husband's birthday and that was very disappointing for both of us.

✓ Ah yes, I once forgot my husband's birthday and that was very disappointing for both of us.

This sentence is correct in past tense; no correction needed.

× Uh, to umm, make up for this, I have to organize an apology party.

✓ Uh, to umm, make up for this, I had to organize an apology party.

Since the forgetting happened in the past, the action to make up for it should also be in the past tense 'had to organize' instead of 'have to organize'.

× And uh, thankfully after that he appreciated my effort, he accepted my gift and uh, since then I always set reminders to avoid such mistakes.

✓ And uh, thankfully after that he appreciated my effort, he accepted my gift and uh, since then I have always set reminders to avoid such mistakes.

The phrase 'since then' requires present perfect tense to indicate an action continuing from past to present, so 'have always set' is correct.

× As I told you, I heavily rely on mobile phone reminders notes, so I just need my phone to remember things so I can note them down.

✓ As I told you, I heavily rely on mobile phone reminder notes, so I just need my phone to remember things so I can note them down.

The phrase should be 'reminder notes' (singular adjective) rather than 'reminders notes'.

× In the notes.

✓ In the notes, I can set reminders, alarms or anything.

'In the notes.' is a sentence fragment without a verb or complete thought. It should be combined with the following sentence for clarity.

× I generally I'm not good at remembering things so I just keep track of the thing with the help of the notes app in my phone and with the reminders.

✓ Generally, I'm not good at remembering things, so I just keep track of things with the help of the notes app on my phone and with reminders.

The sentence had redundancy and awkward phrasing. 'Generally' should start the sentence, 'the thing' should be plural 'things', and 'in my phone' should be 'on my phone'. Also, 'with the reminders' should be 'with reminders'.

× And I have set multiple alarms as well for the day when I have to meet certain requirements, I have to attend a meeting or I have to do an.

✓ I have also set multiple alarms for days when I have to meet certain requirements, attend meetings, or complete tasks.

The original sentence is incomplete and awkward. It should be restructured for clarity and completeness, removing the incomplete ending 'or I have to do an.'
