Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng hơn, thì và ngữ pháp phải chính xác, giảm lặp từ và giới thiệu chi tiết cụ thể. Hãy dùng một câu chủ đề trực tiếp (Yes/No + brief) rồi thêm 1–2 câu chi tiết với liên từ để làm rõ nguyên nhân và ví dụ. Chú ý dùng thì hiện tại đơn cho thói quen và tránh lỗi chia động từ (have/has), danh từ số ít/ nhiều, và cấu trúc động từ đúng (forget → forgot).
Example: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. In my daily life I often forget important events because I rely on my memory rather than writing notes. As a result, I sometimes miss appointments, which has caused problems at work and with friends.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 45.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời nên nêu một ví dụ cụ thể về việc đã quên điều gì, khi nào và hậu quả. Tránh dùng cụm từ mơ hồ như "a lot" hay "huge problem" mà không giải thích. Dùng thì quá khứ hoàn thành/qua khứ đơn khi kể sự kiện đã xảy ra và thêm liên từ để trình bày lý do và kết quả rõ ràng.
Example: Yes, I once forgot an important job interview last year. I missed the interview because I relied on my memory and failed to check the time, so the employer thought I was unreliable and I lost that opportunity.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời thiếu trực tiếp trả lời câu hỏi về những việc cần nhớ; hiện tại câu trả lời nói về kế hoạch thay vì liệt kê cụ thể. Hãy bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề nêu những việc bạn cần nhớ (ví dụ: appointments, deadlines, birthdays), rồi dùng 1–2 câu bổ sung giải thích phương pháp cụ thể để ghi nhớ và lý do. Dùng từ vựng thích hợp (appointments, deadlines, tasks, reminders).
Example: In my daily life I need to remember appointments, work deadlines and family birthdays. To do this I write tasks in a planner and set reminders on my phone so I don't miss meetings or important dates.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 50.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng, mạch lạc và chính xác về phương pháp; tránh liệt kê lặp lại (friends/relatives/families). Nên mô tả cụ thể công cụ hoặc phương pháp (phone alarms, calendar apps, written lists) và giải thích ngắn vì sao chúng hiệu quả hoặc không. Sử dụng thì hiện tại đơn cho thói quen.
Example: I usually set alarms and use a calendar app on my phone to remind me of important events. I also keep a written to‑do list; asking family members to remind me is a backup but I prefer digital reminders because they are more reliable.
× In my daily life, I had a really big problems with memorizing things.
✓ In my daily life, I have had a really big problem with memorizing things.
The noun 'problems' is plural but the modifier 'a really big' requires a singular noun 'problem'. Also the tense should be present perfect 'have had' to match 'In my daily life' which describes an ongoing situation. Suggestion: use singular 'problem' and present perfect 'have had' to indicate continuous experience.
× I think it is one of the most difficult things that is affecting my life a lot.
✓ I think it is one of the most difficult things that affects my life a lot.
The relative clause should use simple present 'affects' to describe a general, habitual effect. Using 'is affecting' is present continuous which suggests a temporary action; 'affects' is more natural here. Suggestion: use simple present for general truths or repeated actions.
× You know, I usually forgot some important events that bring me a lot of trouble.
✓ You know, I usually forget some important events that bring me a lot of trouble.
The adverb 'usually' indicates a habitual action which requires simple present 'forget', not past 'forgot'. Keep 'bring' in simple present because the events presently cause trouble. Suggestion: use simple present with habitual adverbs like 'usually'.
× Yes, I have forgotten a lot of important things in the past.
✓ Yes, I have forgotten many important things in the past.
Grammatically 'a lot of' is acceptable, but 'many' is clearer with countable 'things'. This sentence uses present perfect correctly to talk about past experiences with present relevance. Suggestion: prefer 'many' for formal clarity when referring to countable nouns.
× You know, there's the huge problem of my technique that I don't know how to re memorizing things, especially some important things, so I have to.
✓ You know, there's a huge problem with my technique: I don't know how to memorize things again, especially important ones, so I struggle.
Multiple issues: 'there's the huge problem of my technique' is awkward — use 'a huge problem with my technique'. 're memorizing' is incorrect form; use 'memorize things again' or 're-memorize' (avoid space). The clause 'so I have to' is incomplete and needs an object or verb; changed to 'so I struggle' to complete the idea. Suggestion: use 'a problem with' and correct verb forms, and ensure each clause completes the thought.
× I haven't planned yet, but I think that there's some activities that I can do in my daily life to remember the events and things to do, tasks to do.
✓ I haven't planned yet, but I think that there are some activities I can do in my daily life to remember events and tasks.
'There's some activities' mixes singular 'there's' with plural 'activities'; use 'there are'. Also 'some activities that I can do' can be tightened to 'some activities I can do'. Redundant phrases 'things to do, tasks to do' simplified to 'tasks'. Suggestion: match 'there are' with plural nouns and avoid redundancy.
× I think I can take it in a note or I can ask my friends to.
✓ I think I can write it in a note or I can ask my friends to remind me.
'Take it in a note' is not natural; use 'write it in a note'. The verb 'ask my friends to' is incomplete and needs the action 'remind me'. Suggestion: use complete verb phrases and natural collocations like 'write a note' and 'ask friends to remind me'.
× I usually ask my friends or my relatives or my families to remind me of the important events.
✓ I usually ask my friends or my relatives or my family to remind me of important events.
'Families' is incorrect when referring to one's relatives collectively; use 'family' (uncountable or singular collective noun). Also 'the important events' can be 'important events' without 'the' for general reference. Suggestion: use 'family' and omit unnecessary articles for general statements.
× Or I'm just use my print and I just save it, hope that I can remember it.
✓ Or I just use a printed note and save it, hoping that I will remember it.
'I'm just use' is ungrammatical; use 'I just use'. 'my print' is unclear; 'a printed note' is natural. 'hope that I can remember it' should be 'hoping that I will remember it' to connect to the main clause and express future expectation. Suggestion: use correct verb forms and participial phrases ('hoping that...').
× That's the bad thing.
✓ That's the problem.
'That's the bad thing' is grammatically possible but unnatural in this context; 'That's the problem' is clearer and idiomatic. Suggestion: prefer concise, idiomatic expressions like 'the problem' or 'a drawback'.
