Part 1
考官
Are you good at memorising things?
考生
Memorizing things. It's hard to say for sure, but I tend to remember small, spontaneous details rather than big events or important tasks. For example, I often recall conversation or daily activities easily, but sometimes I struggle with remembering appointments or deadlines, which can frustrate my mom. I think this is because I'm a visual learner. I also memorize information more effectively when I can.
考官
Have you ever forgotten something important?
考生
Yes, I've gotten something important before. For instance, earlier this July I have I was supposed to submit the form for summer camp at Mega college school to arrange my arrival, but I completely forgot to do this. This happened partly because my phone wasn't working properly, which made it difficult for me to receive reminders. Fortunately, I managed to fix the phone issue, submit the form later on, the arrival was safely out.
考官
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
考生
This is an interesting question. So my guidance counselor used to tell me this method to remember 10 things that you're grateful for in the morning once you wake up. And that became a habit of my life. I would list out 10 things that I'm graceful and thankful in my daily life, and I think that's the most important thing that can lift my mood.
考官
How do you remember important things?
考生
It is kinda immature and childish, but I do use the writing method to remember my important things. Umm. This reading method is basically using the oil pan to write on my forearm or my palm where I can see so it reminds me while I'm doing other things. But it actually works. It's really efficient.

× Yes, I've gotten something important before.
✓ Yes, I've forgotten something important before.
The verb 'gotten' is incorrectly used here; the correct past participle for 'forget' is 'forgotten' when referring to failing to remember something. 'Gotten' means 'obtained' which does not fit the context.
× For instance, earlier this July I have I was supposed to submit the form for summer camp at Mega college school to arrange my arrival, but I completely forgot to do this.
✓ For instance, earlier this July I was supposed to submit the form for summer camp at Mega College School to arrange my arrival, but I completely forgot to do this.
The phrase 'I have I was supposed' is incorrect and redundant. The correct past tense form is 'I was supposed' to indicate a past obligation. Also, proper nouns like 'Mega College School' should be capitalized.
× Fortunately, I managed to fix the phone issue, submit the form later on, the arrival was safely out.
✓ Fortunately, I managed to fix the phone issue and submit the form later on; the arrival went smoothly.
The original sentence is a run-on and unclear. It needs conjunctions and proper punctuation to separate ideas. 'The arrival was safely out' is awkward; 'the arrival went smoothly' is clearer and more natural.
× I would list out 10 things that I'm graceful and thankful in my daily life, and I think that's the most important thing that can lift my mood.
✓ I would list out 10 things that I'm grateful for and thankful for in my daily life, and I think that's the most important thing that can lift my mood.
The word 'graceful' is incorrect here; the correct adjective is 'grateful' meaning feeling thankful. Also, 'thankful' should be followed by 'for' to indicate the object of gratitude.
× It is kinda immature and childish, but I do use the writing method to remember my important things.
✓ It is kind of immature and childish, but I do use the writing method to remember my important things.
'Kinda' is informal slang; 'kind of' is more appropriate in formal or semi-formal speech. The pronoun use is correct, but the expression should be standardized.
× Umm. This reading method is basically using the oil pan to write on my forearm or my palm where I can see so it reminds me while I'm doing other things.
✓ Umm. This writing method basically involves using an oil pen to write on my forearm or my palm where I can see it, so it reminds me while I'm doing other things.
'Reading method' is incorrect; it should be 'writing method' as the context is about writing reminders. 'Oil pan' is a mishearing or typo; the correct term is 'oil pen' (a type of marker). Also, the sentence structure is improved for clarity.
