Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
I'm not good at recording things such as in the academic field like numbers as well as the information that I study for that need to use during the examinations, but I try to improve this witness from practicing.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
Yes, I remember one time I forgot about my friend's birthday and she was mad about it. I forgot it because I was busy that day and I try to apologize later. However, she didn't accept my apology.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
There's a lot of things that I need to memorize in my daily life, such as which day I need to go to work, as well as the deadlines that I need to hand in different documents or the tasks that I have been given to you. In order to hand in all the things on time, I will put it in my schedules as a reminder to myself.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
I would try to record the important stuff such as deadlines in my daily schedules, such as writing down or typing down in my timetable which my phone would show the notification when it's reached its deadline.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Be direct and concise: start with a clear topic sentence (e.g. "Not really") then give one or two specific supporting details. Use correct word choice and grammar (e.g. "memorising" not "recording" in this context; "this skill" not "this witness"). Keep it to under five sentences and link ideas with simple connectors like "so" or "therefore".
Example: Not really. I struggle to memorise numerical data and detailed facts for exams, so I practise with flashcards and spaced repetition apps to improve my memory.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Structure the response with a clear topic sentence, a brief reason, and a concise result. Correct verb tenses and small grammar points ("tried to apologize", "she didn't accept") improve clarity. Add a linking word like "because" and avoid repeating the same idea.
Example: Yes. Once I forgot my friend's birthday because I was extremely busy with work, so I apologised afterwards but she was still upset and didn't accept my apology.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Begin with a direct topic sentence and give specific examples. Fix unclear phrasing ("given to you" should be "given to me") and avoid redundancy. Use linking words like "for example" or "such as" and keep sentences concise.
Example: I need to remember my work days and project deadlines. For example, I record meeting dates, submission deadlines and personal appointments in my phone calendar so I don't miss anything.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: Give a clear opening sentence stating your main method, then add a short explanation with one or two specifics. Avoid repeating phrases like "such as" twice and use correct tense and articles ("my timetable" not "in my timetable which my phone would").
Example: I use my phone calendar to remember important things. I either write them down or type them in and set reminders so my phone notifies me before the deadline.
× I'm not good at recording things such as in the academic field like numbers as well as the information that I study for that need to use during the examinations, but I try to improve this witness from practicing.
✓ I'm not good at remembering academic information such as numbers and other material I need for examinations, but I try to improve this by practicing.
Original uses incorrect verb 'recording' and wrongly uses 'witness' and awkward structure. This fits 'Sentence structure errors' and article/word choice issues. Use 'remembering' for memorising, remove unnecessary phrases, and use 'by practicing' to show method. Suggestion: simplify clauses, use correct verbs and prepositions (e.g., 'for examinations', 'by practicing'). Grammar problem type ID:26
× Yes, I remember one time I forgot about my friend's birthday and she was mad about it.
✓ Yes, I remember one time I forgot my friend's birthday and she was mad about it.
'Forgot about' is acceptable but 'forgot my friend's birthday' is more natural. Tense is past and consistent. The sentence originally had no major tense error but 'forgot about' can be simplified. This relates to past tense usage. Suggestion: use concise past tense forms. Grammar problem type ID:5
× I forgot it because I was busy that day and I try to apologize later.
✓ I forgot it because I was busy that day and I tried to apologize later.
Mixes past ('forgot', 'was') with present 'try'. Maintain past tense: 'tried'. This is a past tense issue. Suggestion: keep verbs in the same time frame when describing past events. Grammar problem type ID:5
× However, she didn't accept my apology.
✓ However, she didn't accept my apology.
This sentence is correct as written; it uses past tense consistently. No correction needed but included for completeness. Use past simple for completed actions. Grammar problem type ID:5
× There's a lot of things that I need to memorize in my daily life, such as which day I need to go to work, as well as the deadlines that I need to hand in different documents or the tasks that I have been given to you.
✓ There are a lot of things I need to memorize in my daily life, such as which days I need to go to work, the deadlines for handing in different documents, and the tasks that have been given to me.
'There's' should be 'There are' for plural 'a lot of things' (singular/plural issue). 'Which day' should be plural 'which days' if repeating, and use 'deadlines for handing in' instead of 'deadlines that I need to hand in'. 'Given to you' is wrong pronoun; should be 'given to me'. Also simplify sentence structure. Suggestion: match verb number with subject, use correct pronouns, and use parallel structure. Grammar problem type ID:1
× In order to hand in all the things on time, I will put it in my schedules as a reminder to myself.
✓ In order to hand in everything on time, I put it in my schedule as a reminder to myself.
Original mixes singular/plural and pronouns: 'all the things' -> 'everything'; 'I will put it in my schedules' is awkward. If speaking about a habitual action, use present simple 'I put' (or 'I will put' for future). Use singular 'schedule' or 'schedules' consistently and match pronoun 'it' to 'everything' (use 'them' if plural). Suggestion: choose correct tense for habitual actions and keep number consistent. Grammar problem type ID:12
× I would try to record the important stuff such as deadlines in my daily schedules, such as writing down or typing down in my timetable which my phone would show the notification when it's reached its deadline.
✓ I try to record important things such as deadlines in my daily schedule by writing or typing them into my timetable, and my phone shows a notification when a deadline is reached.
Original has mismatched modal 'would' (conditional) but intends habitual present — use 'I try'. 'Stuff' is informal; use 'things' or 'items'. 'Schedules' vs 'schedule' inconsistent. 'Writing down or typing down in my timetable which my phone would show the notification when it's reached its deadline' is ungrammatical: use 'by writing or typing them into my timetable' and 'my phone shows a notification when a deadline is reached.' Also fix pronouns ('them') and verb tenses. Suggestion: use clear present simple for routines, keep parallel structure, and avoid redundant words like 'down'. Grammar problem type ID:6
