Nên bắt đầu bằng câu chủ đề rõ ràng, sau đó nêu 1–2 hoạt động cụ thể kèm liên từ để liên kết ý (ví dụ: "therefore", "for example"). Giữ độ dài không quá 3–4 câu, tránh tiếng umm và từ thừa.

✓ Actually I have a memory like a sieve, so sometimes it's hard for me to remember everything.
The metaphor 'memory like a thief' is incorrect in English; 'memory like a sieve' is the standard expression meaning someone forgets things easily. Use established idioms to convey meaning clearly. Suggestion: Learn common English idioms and choose ones that match the intended meaning.
× So I brightest memory exercises every single day and try to do mental activities to keep my memory sharp like playing some games to train my friends or umm focus on reading every single day.
✓ So I do memory exercises every single day and try to do mental activities to keep my memory sharp, like playing some games to train my brain or focusing on reading every single day.
The original sentence contains incorrect word form 'brightest' and missing auxiliary 'do' for the verb phrase; 'focus' should be in -ing form after 'or'. Use 'doing' / 'focusing' or 'to focus' consistently. Split long clause with commas for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'do memory exercises' and maintain parallel structure: 'playing... or focusing...'. Replace incorrect word 'brightest' with 'do' or 'regular'.
× Have you ever forgotten something important? I once missed a crucial exam during my high school.
✓ I once missed a crucial exam during my high school years.
The phrase 'during my high school' is incomplete; use 'during high school' or 'during my high school years'. Use plural 'years' or omit 'my'. Suggestion: Say 'during high school' or 'during my high school years' to be grammatically correct.
× Actually, at that time, I burned the middle oil so I overlapped in the next morning.
✓ Actually, at that time, I burned the midnight oil so I overslept the next morning.
The idiom is 'burned the midnight oil' meaning studied late; 'overlapped' is incorrect — the correct verb for failing to wake is 'overslept'. Match idioms and verbs accurately. Suggestion: Use correct idioms and verbs: 'burned the midnight oil' and 'overslept'.
× However, luckily I was allowed to retake the exam a week later and passed with flying colors, which leads me and taught me to manage my time better.
✓ However, luckily I was allowed to retake the exam a week later and passed with flying colors, which taught me to manage my time better.
The phrase 'which leads me and taught me' mixes tenses and includes an unnecessary clause 'leads me'. Use a single past tense 'taught' because the retake happened in the past. Suggestion: Keep tense consistent: use past tense 'taught' to describe the lesson learned.
× What do you need to remember? I believe every day I need to remember both small and big things.
✓ I believe that every day I need to remember both small and big things.
When responding, omit repeating the examiner's question and use a cohesive clause 'I believe that...'. Adding 'that' improves formality and sentence flow. Suggestion: Use linking word 'that' and avoid repeating the question verbatim in the answer.
× For small tasks, I remember to have breakfast and exercise. Why? For big bigger matters, I keep my work plans and meetings on my calendar app.

The original contains redundant words 'big bigger'; choose one adjective. Also 'Why?' is unnecessary and awkward in this context. Suggestion: Remove redundancy and unnecessary fillers; use a single adjective 'bigger'.
