Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and use a clear topic sentence, then give one specific reason with a linking word. Avoid repetition and incorrect tense forms (memorising vs memorizing okay but be consistent). Replace vague phrasing like "it's hard for me" with a concrete explanation. Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. For example, when I study new vocabulary I often forget words because I rarely read, so I don't get enough exposure to reinforce them.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear direct answer and correct pronoun/confusion (husband = he). Provide one specific detail about why you forgot and one consequence or feeling, using a linking word like "because" or "so". Avoid contradictory or unclear relationships.

Example: Yes, I once forgot my husband's birthday. I forgot because I was overwhelmed with academic deadlines and, as a result, he felt hurt, so I apologised and planned a special dinner to make up for it.

Suggestion: Start with a direct topic sentence listing the main things you must remember. Use linking words (for example, "first," "also") and be specific—describe the advisor sessions and the cat routine separately. Avoid awkward phrasing like "I hope everyday sessions"; use "I have" or "I attend." Keep it within 3–4 sentences.

Example: I need to remember several daily things: first, my sessions with my essay advisor because they help me improve my personal statement; second, new vocabulary for my IELTS preparation; and third, feeding my cat every morning so it stays healthy.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence about your main strategies, then add one specific example of how you use the apps. Use linking words like "for example" or "also." Avoid repeating phrases like "I have to" and be careful with article use (use "the calendar app"). Keep to 2–3 sentences.

Example: I usually write important tasks in my phone's notes app and set reminders in the calendar app. For example, I create a calendar alert for meetings and a checklist in Notes for daily study tasks so I don't forget anything.

× No, I think I'm bad at memorizing things because even when I'm doing vocabulary tasks, I'm struggling to remember the words that I used to remember.

✓ No, I think I'm bad at memorizing things because even when I'm doing vocabulary tasks, I struggle to remember the words I used to know.

The original mixes progressive forms unnecessarily and uses 'used to remember' which is incorrect; 'used to' + base verb indicates a past habit and here 'used to know' or simply 'I used to know' fits. Also 'I'm struggling' is present progressive but description of a general difficulty is better in simple present 'I struggle'. Suggestion: use simple present for habitual or general states and 'used to know' to indicate prior knowledge.

× Yes, I have forgotten about my husband's birthday and it was an important event because she is the closest friend of mine.

✓ Yes, I forgot my husband's birthday and it was important because she is one of my closest friends.

Pronoun 'she' is ambiguous but likely refers to 'my husband' which is incorrect gender reference. Also 'closest friend of mine' is awkward; 'one of my closest friends' is idiomatic. Suggestion: ensure pronouns agree with the noun they refer to and use natural phrasing for relationships.

× However, I forgot about this occasion because I was overwhelmed by the hectic atmosphere and academic life.

✓ However, I forgot about the occasion because I was overwhelmed by the hectic atmosphere of academic life.

The tense is acceptable but 'this occasion' is less natural than 'the occasion' when referring back; 'academic life' needs the preposition 'of' to connect it to 'hectic atmosphere'. Suggestion: use appropriate prepositions to link noun phrases and choose definite article correctly.

× I hope everyday sessions with my essay advisor.

✓ I have daily sessions with my essay advisor.

Original lacks a main verb, creating a sentence without clear predicate. 'I hope everyday sessions' is ungrammatical. Use 'I have daily sessions' to state a regular need. Also 'everyday' (adjective meaning ordinary) vs 'every day' (each day); 'daily' is concise. Suggestion: include a proper verb and choose correct adverb/adjective form.

× That's why I need to remember new tips how to write a personal statement essay.

✓ That's why I need to remember new tips on how to write a personal statement.

Use the preposition 'on' with 'tips' (tips on how to...) and 'personal statement essay' is redundant; 'personal statement' suffices. Suggestion: use 'tips on how to' and avoid redundant nouns.

× Moreover, I need to remember new vocabulary every day for improving my IELTS score, and I have to remember it to give food for my cat.

✓ Moreover, I need to remember new vocabulary every day to improve my IELTS score, and I also have to remember to feed my cat.

Phrase 'for improving' is awkward; use infinitive 'to improve'. 'Remember it to give food for my cat' is incorrect English; 'remember to feed my cat' is correct. Suggestion: use 'remember to + verb' for obligations and 'feed' rather than 'give food for'. Consider splitting into two clearer actions.

× I have a good habit to write things on my notes app on my phone.

✓ I have the habit of writing things in the Notes app on my phone.

After 'habit' use 'of' plus gerund (writing). Also use 'Notes app' capitalized as app name and 'in' is the usual preposition for apps. Suggestion: use 'the habit of writing' and gerund form for habitual actions.

× That's why it's much easier for me to remember all the crucial things in my life and I have to remind myself by using calendar app and it's very convenient.

✓ That's why it's much easier for me to remember all the crucial things in my life, and I remind myself using a calendar app because it's very convenient.

Original mixes 'have to remind myself by using' awkwardly. Use simple present 'I remind myself' for habitual action and include article 'a' before 'calendar app'. Combine clauses with 'because' for clear reason. Suggestion: use simple present for routines and include appropriate articles.
