Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
考生
Yes, definitely. I use the sticky notes for my list of works at work. I usually stick that notes to my PC so that I can clearly see the visual of that list. Whenever I work on on my PC it helps me a lot to remember that.
考官
Why don't some people like making lists?
考生
In my perception, some people have elephant memory so they do not need to make the list to remember the items. But in my case I I always forget forgot the items to get purchased, so that's why I make the list.

× Otherwise I do the notes over the phone also.
✓ Otherwise, I also take notes over the phone.
The phrase 'do the notes' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'take notes'. Using 'take notes' is the proper verb phrase to describe writing or recording notes. Also, adding a comma after 'Otherwise' improves sentence clarity.
× I send the message to him so that he can bring the items what we want.
✓ I send the message to him so that he can bring the items that we want.
The relative pronoun 'what' is incorrectly used here. The correct relative pronoun to refer to 'items' is 'that'. 'What' is not used as a relative pronoun in this context.
× I usually make the list for the shopping items or I can make the list for my brother.
✓ I usually make a list of the shopping items or I can make a list for my brother.
The article 'the' before 'list' is incorrect when referring to a general list. Using 'a list' is appropriate. Also, 'for the shopping items' should be 'of the shopping items' to correctly express the content of the list.
× I use the sticky notes for my list of works at work.
✓ I use sticky notes for my list of tasks at work.
'Sticky notes' is plural and should not have 'the' unless referring to specific notes. Also, 'list of works' is incorrect; 'tasks' is a better word to describe work items. 'At work' is correct.
× I usually stick that notes to my PC so that I can clearly see the visual of that list.
✓ I usually stick those notes to my PC so that I can clearly see the visual of that list.
'That notes' is incorrect because 'notes' is plural and requires the plural demonstrative pronoun 'those'.
× Whenever I work on on my PC it helps me a lot to remember that.
✓ Whenever I work on my PC, it helps me a lot to remember that.
There is a repeated preposition 'on on' which is a typographical error. Also, a comma after the introductory clause improves readability.
× But in my case I I always forget forgot the items to get purchased, so that's why I make the list.
✓ But in my case, I always forget the items to purchase, so that's why I make the list.
The phrase 'forget forgot' is incorrect; only one verb is needed. 'Forget' is present tense and fits the context better. Also, 'to get purchased' is awkward; 'to purchase' is more natural. Adding a comma after 'case' improves clarity.
× Sometimes, umm, when it's easy to, uh, get the paper along with me, umm, I uh, prefer to do the list on the paper.
✓ Sometimes, umm, when it's easy to, uh, bring the paper with me, umm, I uh, prefer to make the list on paper.
The phrase 'get the paper along with me' is incorrect; 'bring the paper with me' is the correct expression. Also, 'do the list' should be 'make the list'. 'On the paper' is better as 'on paper' in this context.
× Otherwise, most of the times I use my uh, notes in my mobile phone to get the list uh, to be written, uh, which is very easy to whenever I.
✓ Otherwise, most of the time I use my notes on my mobile phone to write the list, which is very easy whenever I need to.
'Most of the times' should be 'most of the time' as 'time' is uncountable here. 'Notes in my mobile phone' should be 'notes on my mobile phone'. The phrase 'to get the list to be written' is awkward; 'to write the list' is clearer. The sentence was incomplete and has been completed for clarity.
