Examiner
Are you good at memorising things?
Candidate
Well, I'm not great at memorizing things, but I can usually recall specific details if I focus on it. For example, when I study for exams, I use a rapid review strategy and speed repetition to help me retain important facts.
Examiner
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Candidate
MMM In the past when I was a child, I usually forgot almost everything that I heard from my family and that time they called me silly. But right now I can remember almost everything. I think it's because my because I grew up.
Examiner
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Candidate
Well, my daily life is full of dumb things, but I think that I need to remember my, uh, schedule at school or even my plan in my house such as household.
Examiner
How do you remember important things?
Candidate
Well, when I want to remember important things, I will force myself to remember it by umm, repeating. I think it's truly effective because I have tried it and I think it's very fictive for me and it's a popular.
Are you good at memorising things?
Score: 72.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần rõ ràng hơn ở câu chủ đề, tránh lặp từ và sửa lỗi từ vựng; bổ sung liên từ để nối ý mạch lạc; đưa thêm chi tiết cụ thể về phương pháp (ví dụ: thời lượng, tần suất) để câu trả lời thuyết phục hơn.
Example: I’m not particularly good at memorising things, but I can remember important details if I concentrate. For example, when I study for exams I use short, frequent review sessions: I review key facts for 15 minutes three times a day and use spaced repetition flashcards to reinforce memory.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Score: 60.0Suggestion: Cần trả lời trực tiếp với một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, tránh tiếng ồ ừ (umm, mmm) và lặp từ; cung cấp một ví dụ cụ thể về việc đã quên điều quan trọng và giải thích lý do rõ ràng (ví dụ: do bận rộn, chưa tập trung, hay thay đổi thói quen). Viết câu cuối gọn hơn và sửa lỗi ngữ pháp.
Example: When I was a child I often forgot things my parents told me; once I missed a school meeting because I didn’t write it down. Now I remember important events because I use a calendar app and set reminders, so I rarely forget anything important.
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
Score: 65.0Suggestion: Trả lời nên bắt đầu bằng một câu chủ đề rõ ràng, tránh dùng từ không trang trọng như “dumb things”; giảm tiếng ấp úng và nêu chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ: thời gian tiết học, deadline bài tập, công việc nhà cụ thể). Sử dụng liên từ nếu liệt kê nhiều mục.
Example: I need to remember my daily schedule, such as class times and assignment deadlines, and also household tasks like cooking dinner or doing laundry. For example, I always check my timetable each morning and write two household chores in my planner.
How do you remember important things?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời cần dùng từ chính xác (không dùng 'fictive'), tránh ấp úng và lặp ý; giải thích rõ phương pháp (ví dụ: lặp lại theo khoảng cách, ghi chú, lập nhắc) và nêu kết quả cụ thể. Nên dùng liên từ để nối giải thích và ví dụ.
Example: I usually use repetition and spaced rehearsal to remember important information. For instance, I repeat a phone number aloud several times, write it down, and review it again after an hour and the next day, which helps me retain it.
× Well, I'm not great at memorizing things, but I can usually recall specific details if I focus on it.
✓ Well, I'm not great at memorizing things, but I can usually recall specific details if I focus on them.
The pronoun 'it' incorrectly refers to 'specific details' (plural). Use 'them' to match plural antecedent; this fixes noun-pronoun agreement. Suggestion: match pronoun number to its noun (singular/plural).
× MMM In the past when I was a child, I usually forgot almost everything that I heard from my family and that time they called me silly.
✓ In the past, when I was a child, I usually forgot almost everything I heard from my family, and at that time they called me silly.
Sequence of past events requires past simple consistently and clearer connectors. Added comma and changed 'that time' to 'at that time' for natural phrasing. Also removed redundant 'that' before 'I heard'. Suggestion: use past simple for past habits and use correct time expressions (at that time).
× But right now I can remember almost everything.
✓ But right now I can remember almost everything.
No grammatical change required; sentence is correct. Note: keep present ability 'can' for current state.
× I think it's because my because I grew up.
✓ I think it's because I grew up.
Redundant words 'my because' create ungrammatical structure. Remove extra words to form a correct causal clause. Suggestion: keep 'because' once and ensure subject properly follows ('I').
× Well, my daily life is full of dumb things, but I think that I need to remember my, uh, schedule at school or even my plan in my house such as household.
✓ Well, my daily life is full of trivial things, but I think I need to remember my schedule at school and my plans at home, such as household chores.
'Dumb things' is informal and awkward; 'trivial things' is more appropriate. 'Plan in my house' is unnatural; use 'plans at home.' 'Household' needs a noun like 'chores.' Suggestion: choose appropriate vocabulary and correct preposition use ('at school', 'at home').
× Well, when I want to remember important things, I will force myself to remember it by umm, repeating.
✓ Well, when I want to remember important things, I force myself to remember them by repeating.
Using 'will' in conditional time clause with 'when' is unnatural for habitual actions; use present simple 'force'. Pronoun 'it' should be 'them' to match 'important things' (plural). Also 'repeating' is fine as a gerund. Suggestion: for habitual actions use present simple in both clauses; match pronouns to plural nouns.
× I think it's truly effective because I have tried it and I think it's very fictive for me and it's a popular.
✓ I think it's truly effective because I have tried it, and I find it very effective and popular.
'Fictive' is incorrect; likely meant 'effective.' 'It's a popular' is incomplete; 'popular' needs a noun (e.g., 'technique') or say 'popular' as adjective with 'and popular'. Replaced with 'effective and popular' for clarity. Suggestion: choose correct adjectives and ensure adjectives are used with nouns or paired correctly.
