Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Use a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, and coherent linking words. Keep it concise (max 5 sentences). Correct tense and verb forms: say “I was good at remembering things when I was younger” then contrast with present ability: “but now I find it harder to remember details like phone numbers or addresses.” Include one brief reason or example. Replace vague phrases (“memory the detail”) with precise language.

Ejemplo: I was good at remembering things when I was younger, but now I find it harder to remember details. For example, I often forget phone numbers or addresses shortly after hearing them, probably because I’m busier and more distracted these days.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct topic sentence, use correct verb forms and concise sentences. Provide a specific detail (what happened, why) and one brief consequence or lesson learned. Use linking words (for example, because, so) correctly and avoid repetition.

Ejemplo: Yes. For example, I once missed an important meeting with a client because I mixed up the meeting time. They waited for an hour, so I felt embarrassed and learned to double-check my schedule and set reminders.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear topic sentence listing key things you must remember. Use logical linking to explain your method (e.g., “so I put them on my electronic calendar to avoid repeats”). Fix grammar and avoid irrelevant self-criticism; instead state a constructive reason. Keep to 2–3 sentences maximum.

Ejemplo: I need to remember meetings with my boss and my clients. Therefore, I put all appointments on my electronic calendar and set reminders so I don’t miss them again.

Sugerencia: Start with a clear method statement, then give specific examples and link reasons briefly. Correct grammar and word choice (e.g., “I write them in a notebook or on my iPad and add them to my calendar”). Avoid informal fillers and unclear endings. Keep it within 3 sentences.

Ejemplo: I usually write important tasks in a notebook or on my iPad and add them to my digital calendar with alerts. Because I have many daily and weekly tasks, these tools help me stay organised and avoid forgetting things.

× I used to good at memory everything when I was younger, but when I became older nowadays I cannot memory the detail of things like such as the number or the address of someone when they just told me last.

✓ I used to be good at memorising everything when I was younger, but as I have gotten older I cannot remember details such as someone's phone number or address when they just told me.

Errors: incorrect verb forms ('used to good' should be 'used to be good'), wrong verb choice ('memory' is a noun; use verb 'remember' or gerund 'memorising'), mixed tense/time expressions ('when I became older nowadays' is incorrect; use 'as I have gotten older' or 'nowadays I cannot'), incorrect word order and unnecessary words ('the detail of things like such as' should be 'details such as'). Suggestion: use 'used to be good at memorising' for past habit, 'as I have gotten older' to show change over time, and 'remember details such as...' for clarity.

× Yes, I have forgotten my important meeting with my client. I felt so bad because they waited me for one hour but I don't come on time. It's really bad experience for me.

✓ Yes, I forgot an important meeting with my client. I felt so bad because they waited for me for an hour but I did not arrive on time. It was a really bad experience for me.

Errors: mixed past simple and present perfect inappropriately ('I have forgotten' can be okay but simpler 'I forgot' fits context), incorrect verb/object order ('they waited me' should be 'they waited for me'), incorrect negative past ('I don't come on time' should be past 'I did not arrive on time'), article and tense in final sentence ('It's really bad experience' should be 'It was a really bad experience'). Suggestion: keep past tense consistent for a past event and use correct verb patterns ('wait for', 'arrive on time').

× Meeting with my boss and my client so I said on my electronic calendar to prevent that situation happen again is so that I'm unprofessional enough to work for a hard job.

✓ I need to remember meetings with my boss and clients, so I put them on my electronic calendar to prevent that situation from happening again; otherwise I might seem unprofessional for a demanding job.

Errors: missing subject and verb at start ('Meeting with...' needs 'I need to remember'), incorrect verb form and placement ('I said on my electronic calendar' should be 'I put them on my electronic calendar'), missing 'from' in 'prevent ... happening' ('prevent that situation from happening again'), awkward clause and grammar ('is so that I'm unprofessional enough to work for a hard job' is unclear—rephrased to 'otherwise I might seem unprofessional for a demanding job'). Suggestion: start sentences with clear subject and verb, use correct phrasal verbs ('put on calendar'), and include 'from' after 'prevent'.

× Actually I cannot remember anything so I just write out on my notebook or my iPad sometime and also put them in my calendar as I mentioned before because nowadays I have many tasks to do in daily or weekly so I just need assistance EY?

✓ Actually I cannot remember everything, so I write things down in my notebook or on my iPad sometimes and also put them in my calendar as I mentioned before because nowadays I have many daily or weekly tasks, so I need assistance.

Errors: incorrect verb/object collocations ('write out on my notebook' should be 'write things down in my notebook' and use 'on my iPad'), adverb placement ('sometime' -> 'sometimes'), awkward sequence and articles ('in my calendar as I mentioned before' is okay), unclear time expression ('in daily or weekly' -> 'daily or weekly tasks'), unnecessary tag 'EY?' removed. Suggestion: use 'write things down', choose correct prepositions ('in' for notebook, 'on' for iPad), use 'sometimes' and keep consistent noun phrases ('daily or weekly tasks').
