Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Give a direct topic sentence plus one or two brief supporting details. Expand the single-word reply into a full sentence, use linking words if adding details, and avoid redundancy. Also use a wider range of vocabulary (e.g., ‘good at’, ‘quite good’, ‘not very good’).

Ví dụ: Yes, I’m fairly good at memorising things. For example, I can remember names and phone numbers easily because I repeat them aloud and link them to visual images.

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a clear past-tense sentence and provide a specific example and reason. Correct grammar (use ‘I have forgotten’ or ‘I once forgot’), add a short explanation of what happened, and use linking words like ‘for example’ or ‘because’.

Ví dụ: Yes, I once forgot my passport before a flight. For example, I left it on the kitchen table because I was in a hurry, which nearly caused me to miss the trip.

Gợi ý: This reply is unclear and inappropriate. Give a clear topic sentence describing everyday items or tasks you must remember (e.g., keys, phone, work tasks), then add a specific detail or reason using linking words such as ‘for instance’ or ‘because’.

Ví dụ: I need to remember everyday things like my keys, phone and important appointments. For instance, I use a planner app and set alarms because I often have many meetings during the day.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear method in a full sentence and add a brief explanation or example. Use correct phrasing (e.g., ‘I keep a note of my expenses on my phone’ or ‘I use reminders’), and connect ideas with words like ‘so’ or ‘for example’.

Ví dụ: I use my phone to remember important things: I set calendar reminders for appointments and keep a note of my money and expenses, so I don’t lose track of my budget.

× Yes, I have a forgetting something important for me.

✓ Yes, I have forgotten something important to me.

The original uses an incorrect combination of 'have' with 'a' + verb-ing. This is a sentence structure and verb form error. In present perfect you need 'have' + past participle (forgotten), not 'have a forgetting'. Also 'for me' is awkward; 'to me' or 'important to me' is natural. Suggestion: use 'I have forgotten something important to me' to express that at some point in the past you forgot it and the result is relevant now.

× I'm bullying.

✓ I forget things.

'I'm bullying' is semantically and grammatically incorrect in response to 'What do you need to remember in your daily life?'. It uses present continuous of 'bully' which is unrelated. The likely intended meaning is a habitual difficulty remembering, so use simple present 'I forget things' or 'I often forget things'. Suggestion: say 'I often forget things' or 'I forget things during the day' to answer what you need to remember.

× I remember my money in my cell phone OK.

✓ I remember to keep my money on my phone.

The original mixes memory verb usage and preposition choice. 'Remember' can be followed by a noun, but the sentence 'I remember my money in my cell phone' is unclear and uses an incorrect preposition ('in' vs 'on'). Also 'cell phone' is acceptable but 'phone' is more natural. Better: 'I remember to keep my money on my phone' (remember + infinitive) to convey the habit of saving/keeping money on the phone. If the intent is 'I remember where my money is', say 'I remember that my money is on my phone'. Suggestion: use 'remember to + verb' for remembering to do something, or 'remember + noun/that-clause' for recalling facts.
