Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and grammatical: start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details with linking words. Avoid repetition and fix tense/word-choice errors (e.g., "never at things", "short-term memory is worse"). Use vocabulary like "short-term memory", "emotional" and phrases such as "I tend to remember ... better because ..."

Example: I’m not very good at memorising things. My short-term memory is weak, but I tend to remember events that have a strong emotional impact. For example, I can recall important conversations or meaningful experiences far longer than routine facts.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence, then provide concise specific details and link them logically. Correct grammar (e.g., "the cost to me", "consequences", "my boss forgave me"). Mention what you learned or what you did afterwards to improve to make the answer more complete.

Example: Yes. Once I forgot an important work task, and I was very worried because it could have caused serious consequences for the team. Fortunately my boss forgave me, and afterwards I started using reminders and a checklist to prevent the same mistake.

Suggestion: Begin with a clear topic sentence stating your responsibilities. Use correct grammar and linking words to explain specific daily items you must remember (e.g., tasks, deadlines, schedules). Avoid awkward constructions ("so that other tasks wouldn't have. Gone into others"). Be specific: mention examples like meetings, experiments, deadlines.

Example: I work as a research assistant, so I need to remember tasks my professor assigns and his schedule. For example, I keep track of deadlines for experiments, meeting times, and paperwork so that I can organise my day and avoid missing anything.

Suggestion: Provide a clear topic sentence about your strategy, then give one or two specific methods and a brief comment on limitations and improvements. Use present tense ("I usually write") and correct phrasing ("check my notes"). Mention specific tools (phone reminders, sticky notes) and a plan to fix weaknesses.

Example: I usually write important tasks in my notebook and set events in my calendar to help me remember. However, I sometimes forget to check them, so now I use phone alarms and place a sticky note on my desk to remind myself to review my list each morning.

× No, I think that I'm not good and never at things.

✓ No, I think that I'm not good at memorising things.

The phrase 'not good and never at things' is ungrammatical. The correct pattern is 'not good at + noun/gerund'. Remove 'never' and specify 'memorising things' to match the question. Suggestion: use 'not good at memorising things' or 'I have a poor memory'.

× My short term memory is worse.

✓ My short-term memory is poor.

'Worse' is a comparative that requires a comparison (worse than...). Use 'poor' or 'not very good' to make a complete statement. Also 'short-term' should be hyphenated when used as a compound adjective before 'memory'.

× But I think if the memory is combined with something, a sense of feeling or something that is very significant event, I think that the memory will last longer than the short term memory.

✓ But I think if a memory is combined with a feeling or a very significant event, it will last longer than short-term memory.

Sentence was wordy and had article and word order issues. Use 'a memory' and parallel nouns 'a feeling or a very significant event'. Replace 'the short term memory' with 'short-term memory'. Remove redundant 'I think'.

× Yeah, I forgot a very important task related to my work before and at that time I was very worried because of the cost that of me that may result in a very serious consequence for the team.

✓ Yes, I once forgot a very important work task, and at the time I was very worried because it could have had very serious consequences for the team.

Use 'once' or 'before' for past reference and 'could have had' to express a past possibility. Remove awkward phrase 'cost that of me'. Use plural 'consequences' for 'very serious consequences'.

× However, fortunately my boss forgive me about this.

✓ However, fortunately my boss forgave me for this.

'Forgive' must be in past tense 'forgave' to agree with past context. Use 'forgave me for this' rather than 'forgive me about this'.

× Since I was responsible for my professor, I am a research assistant so that my daily routine is to remember things that he assigned me to do and also I have to memorize my boss's schedule so that other tasks wouldn't have. Gone into others.

✓ I am a research assistant for my professor, so my daily routine is to remember the tasks he assigns me and to memorize my supervisor's schedule so those tasks do not get assigned to others.

Mixed tenses and awkward clauses: use present simple 'am' and 'assigns' to describe regular duties. 'Since I was responsible for my professor' is incorrect temporal phrasing; use 'I am a research assistant for my professor'. Remove sentence fragments and fix 'wouldn't have. Gone into others' to 'do not get assigned to others'.

× I usually wrote down important tasks in my notes and also my calendar, so in order to help me to remember those important things.

✓ I usually write down important tasks in my notes and in my calendar to help me remember them.

Use present simple 'write' for habitual action instead of past 'wrote'. Simplify 'so in order to help me to remember those important things' to 'to help me remember them'.

× However, sometimes I forgot to check out my notes or calendar so that even I wrote important things on it.

✓ However, sometimes I forget to check my notes or calendar even after I have written important things in them.

Maintain present reference for habitual behavior: use 'forget' instead of 'forgot'. Use present perfect 'have written' to mean 'already written'. 'Check out' is informal and unnecessary; use 'check'. Correct 'on it' to 'in them' to match plural 'notes and calendar'.

× I will remember to do it.

✓ I will remember to do them.

Pronoun 'it' is singular but refers to multiple 'important things'; use 'them'. Ensure pronoun agreement with antecedent.

× I think that in the future I can maybe. Write a note and state on my table to help me to remember it.

✓ In the future I might write a note and place it on my desk to help me remember.

Fix punctuation and word order: 'can maybe' is awkward; use 'might' or 'may'. 'Write a note and state on my table' is incorrect — use 'place it on my desk' or 'leave it on my table'. Use 'remember' without 'to' after 'help me'. Also use 'it' to refer to the note or 'them' for tasks.
