Are you good at memorising things?

Candidate

To be honest, my mind is not designed for memory things. I often forgot about my phones and keys and it takes me a lot of time to find them. Additionally, I can't remember people with their face.

Examiner

Have you ever forgotten something important?

Candidate

Yes, recently I forgot my best friend's birthday. What a pity after the day my other friends told me these bad things and I apologize to him and make up for him largely.

Examiner

What do you need to remember in your daily life?

Candidate

I am very busy every day and there are many things I need to memorize. For example, and to remember my To Do List and acquire the items on it after I finishing doing them. Plus I need to remember.

Examiner

How do you remember important things?

Candidate

I rely heavily on the technology, especially my smartphone. I can't live without it. Every morning I need to use it to make A to do list on the app and ask my, umm, world Voice Assistant to remind me.

Part 1

Are you good at memorising things?

Score: 52.0

Suggestion: 回答要更自然并且更符合英语表达习惯。应先直接回答问题(Yes/No + 简短理由),然后用1-2个具体例子支持。避免语法错误(如“memory things”应为“memorising things”或“having a good memory”),注意时态和数的一致(forgot → forget)。尽量在句子间使用连接词如“for example”或“also”。控制在最多5个句子内。

Example: Not really — I don't have a very good memory because I often forget small everyday items. For example, I frequently misplace my phone and keys, which wastes a lot of time when I have to look for them. I also find it hard to remember people’s names or faces, so I often rely on context to recognise someone.

Have you ever forgotten something important?

Score: 46.0

Suggestion: 需要更清晰、连贯地描述事件并使用正确的时态与搭配。先直接回答(Yes),然后说明具体细节:什么被忘记、何时、结果以及你如何补救。避免模糊或不地道的表达(如“make up for him largely”应改为“made it up to him”)。使用连接词如“so”或“therefore”。

Example: Yes, I once forgot my best friend’s birthday last month. My other friends pointed it out and I felt really bad, so I apologised to him and took him out for dinner to make it up to him.

What do you need to remember in your daily life?

Score: 40.0

Suggestion: 回答不完整且存在语法与逻辑问题。先给出主题句说明需要记住的主要内容,然后用1-2个具体例子说明(如 appointments, deadlines, shopping items)。句子要完整,避免多余或未完成的句子,注意动词形式(memorize → remember; finishing → finish)。使用连接词如“For example”或“such as”。

Example: I need to remember several daily things, especially appointments and tasks on my to-do list. For example, I keep track of work deadlines and shopping items so I don't forget to buy essentials after I finish other errands.

How do you remember important things?

Score: 60.0

Suggestion: 总体思路清晰但表达需更准确和更简洁。先直接回答(I use technology/apps),然后描述具体方法(which app, reminders, alarms, calendar)并用连接词如“for example”或“so”。注意冠词和小写(a to-do list)以及减少口语填充词(umm)。保持句子数量在五句以内。

Example: I rely on technology to remember important things, mainly my smartphone. For example, I use a to-do list app and set calendar events with alarms, and I also ask my voice assistant to remind me of important tasks.

Grammar

Incorrect use of nouns / word choice

× To be honest, my mind is not designed for memory things.

✓ To be honest, my mind is not designed for memorising things.

原句中“memory things”用法不自然,应使用动名词短语“memorising things”或“remembering things”。建议使用“memorising things”来表达“记忆东西/记东西”,使表达更地道。

Past tense issue

× I often forgot about my phones and keys and it takes me a lot of time to find them.

✓ I often forget my phone and keys, and it takes me a lot of time to find them.

句子中描述的是经常发生的情况,应使用一般现在时而不是过去时“forgot”。另外“phones”应为单数“phone”或复数但与“keys”并列时通常用单数表示个人物品。将时态改为现在时以保持时态一致。

Incorrect use of pronouns

× Additionally, I can't remember people with their face.

✓ Additionally, I can't remember people by their faces.

原句搭配错误,“remember someone by their face/face”用介词“by”表示通过外貌记住,用复数“faces”或“their face”都可,但更自然的是“by their faces”。

Past tense issue

× Yes, recently I forgot my best friend's birthday.

✓ Yes, recently I forgot my best friend's birthday.

该句本身时态使用正确(过去时)描述已发生的事件,无需改动。保持原句。

Sentence structure errors

× What a pity after the day my other friends told me these bad things and I apologize to him and make up for him largely.

✓ It was a pity; after that day my other friends told me about it, so I apologized to him and tried to make it up to him.

原句结构混乱:1) “What a pity after the day”搭配不当,改为“It was a pity; after that day”更自然;2) “told me these bad things”需改为“told me about it”;3) 时态一致性:事件发生后使用过去时“apologized”和“tried to make it up to him”;4) “make up for him largely”不地道,改为“make it up to him”表示弥补。提供了更自然的表达。

Present tense issue

× I am very busy every day and there are many things I need to memorize.

✓ I am very busy every day and there are many things I need to remember.

“memorize”可以,但在口语中更常用“remember”。这里时态和用法正确,只需替换为更自然的词。

Sentence structure errors

× For example, and to remember my To Do List and acquire the items on it after I finishing doing them.

✓ For example, I need to remember my to-do list and check off the items on it after I finish them.

原句有多个问题:1) 不该以“For example, and”开始,二者重复;2) “acquire the items”用词不当,应为“check off”或“tick off”表示完成清单项;3) “after I finishing doing them”语法错误,正确为“after I finish them”或“after finishing them”。已改为更简洁自然的表达。

Sentence without a verb

× Plus I need to remember.

✓ Plus, I need to remember other things as well.

原句不完整,缺少宾语,听起来突兀。补充宾语“other things”使句子完整并表达清楚。

Incorrect use of articles

× I rely heavily on the technology, especially my smartphone.

✓ I rely heavily on technology, especially my smartphone.

在一般情况下不需在“technology”前加定冠词“the”。删除“the”更自然。

Article errors

× Every morning I need to use it to make A to do list on the app and ask my, umm, world Voice Assistant to remind me.

✓ Every morning I use it to make a to-do list on an app and ask my voice assistant to remind me.

原句中“A to do list”冠词和大小写错误,应为“a to-do list”;“on the app”不确定时用“on an app”;“world Voice Assistant”表达不自然且大写错误,应为“my voice assistant”。同时将时态简化为一般现在时描述习惯性动作。
