Memory— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Be more concise and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Use varied vocabulary (e.g., “recall” or “retain”) and eliminate filler phrases like “I can say that” and “especially if it's like.”

Example: Yes, I’m generally good at memorising routine tasks. For example, I can easily recall the procedures and documents I handle at work because I perform them every day, so the repetition helps me retain the information.

Suggestion: Answer directly and avoid repetition and self-corrections. Provide one clear reason and a brief example using linking words like “because” or “for example.” Replace vague phrases with precise language.

Example: Yes, I have forgotten important things, usually because I was sleep-deprived. For example, once I missed an important meeting because I had stayed up late finishing a project and I simply forgot to set a reminder.

Suggestion: Give a clear topic sentence and add a specific example. Use linking words like “such as” or “for instance” and avoid tentative phrases like “I think” or “most probably.”

Example: I need to remember daily tasks and appointments. For instance, I keep track of work tasks, grocery shopping and dentist appointments on my phone calendar so I don’t miss anything important.

Suggestion: Be slightly more polished and concise. Start with a direct statement, then give one or two specific methods and a brief reason using linking words like “so” or “therefore.” Avoid capitalization errors and unnecessary phrases like “like for example.”

Example: I use notes and a digital to‑do list on my phone to remember important things. This way I can set reminders and check tasks quickly, so I rarely miss deadlines or appointments.

× I tend to remember those things, especially if it's like related to documents that I'm doing at work.

✓ I tend to remember those things, especially if they are related to documents that I do at work.

The original uses 'it's like related' which is informal and mixes contractions with incorrect reference. 'It's' (it is) incorrectly refers to plural 'those things.' Use 'they are' for plural and 'related' without 'like.' Also 'I'm doing at work' is better as 'I do at work' for habitual actions. Suggest replacing informal fillers like 'like' and ensure pronoun agrees with plural noun.

× Yes, there are certain instances that I forgot something really important, but that depends on how I slept the previous night or if I'm really tired because I believe that those kinds of situations, those kind of situations, sorry, really affect how I remember things.

✓ Yes, there have been certain instances when I forgot something really important, but that depends on how I slept the previous night or if I am really tired, because I believe that those kinds of situations really affect how I remember things.

Use present perfect 'have been' to talk about past experiences relevant to the present. 'Instances that' is better as 'instances when.' Maintain consistent tense: 'I am' rather than 'I'm' is optional but keep present tense for general statements. Remove repetition 'those kind of situations' and use plural agreement 'those kinds of situations.'

× In my daily life, I think I need to remember certain tasks that I have to do the entire day.

✓ In my daily life, I think I need to remember certain tasks that I have to do during the day.

'The entire day' is awkward; 'during the day' is more natural. The verb tense is fine, but prepositional choice improves clarity.

× Or if I have a special appointment, most probably I really need to remember those things.

✓ If I have a special appointment, I most likely need to remember it.

'Most probably I really need to' is wordy and awkward. Use modal/adverb 'most likely' with concise structure. Also 'those things' should be specific: 'it' or 'the appointment.' Ensure subject-verb agreement and clarity.

× I remember important things with the help of taking notes of those things.

✓ I remember important things by taking notes of them.

Use 'by' + gerund to express means: 'by taking notes.' 'With the help of taking notes' is redundant. Also replace 'those things' with 'them' for conciseness.

× Like for example if I have A to do list, I keep it in my phone so that I can easily access it and go through it when I needed to.

✓ For example, if I have a to-do list, I keep it on my phone so that I can easily access it and go through it when I need to.

Use 'a to-do list' (article and hyphenation). Preposition 'on my phone' is correct, not 'in.' Maintain present tense 'need' for habitual actions rather than past 'needed.' Remove filler 'Like' and start with 'For example.'
