Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Your answer is relevant and shows an opinion, but it's slightly repetitive and a bit long. To improve, begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repeating the same idea, and add one specific example of a technique you use. Use a linking word to connect your opinion and the example.

Ejemplo: Not really — I focus on understanding rather than memorising. For example, when I study for exams, I create concept maps to link ideas, which helps me recall facts more easily.

Sugerencia: The answer addresses the question but is overly long and repetitive. Start with a direct statement about having forgotten things, then give one concise specific incident and a short consequence or lesson. Vary vocabulary (e.g., 'credentials' instead of repeating 'username and password').

Ejemplo: Yes, I have. For instance, once I forgot the password for my online bank temporarily, so I had to go through a long recovery process. Since then, I use a password manager to avoid similar problems.

Sugerencia: This answer is thoughtful and natural but a little abstract. Improve by adding one concrete daily example of a thing you remember (e.g., appointments, tasks) and use a linking word to connect the motivational idea to the practical detail.

Ejemplo: I try to remember my priorities each day — not just to get by but to enjoy life. For example, every morning I remind myself to exercise for 20 minutes so I stay healthy and focused.

Sugerencia: Good practical strategies are mentioned, but the response is slightly repetitive and longer than necessary. Start with a clear topic sentence, mention the main methods briefly, and give one specific example of how you organise notes (e.g., lists, reminders, apps). Use a linking word to connect the reason and the method.

Ejemplo: I usually write things down on my phone or in a small notebook. For example, I keep a daily checklist in a notes app and set alarms for important appointments, so I don't miss anything.

× I'm not good at memorizing things, but I believe that what's more important is that you understand them.

✓ I'm not good at memorizing things, but I believe that what's more important is that you understand them.

No article error detected; sentence is correct. No change required.

× For example, when you're trying to study, you don't memorize the details.

✓ For example, when you're trying to study, you don't just memorize the details.

The original sentence is understandable but sounds unnatural and incomplete in meaning. Adding 'just' clarifies contrast between rote memorization and deeper understanding. Suggestion: include words that show contrast (e.g., just, only) when comparing approaches.

× I am very bad at using different passwords and usernames that I use across various platforms, which is why I typically only use one username and one password for every social media account that I have and in every platform that I use.

✓ I am very bad at keeping track of the different usernames and passwords I use across various platforms, which is why I typically use the same username and password for every social media account and platform.

The original sentence is wordy and has repetitive phrasing; also 'only use one username and one password for every social media account' is awkward. Correction improves subject-verb flow and concision: 'keeping track of' is a more natural verb phrase, and 'use the same' replaces redundant wording. Suggestion: simplify repeated ideas and avoid repeating 'that I use' or 'in every platform'. Also ensure plurality matches (platforms) and verbs fit subject.

× Every day I remind myself that I am here to live rather than survive.

✓ Every day I remind myself that I am here to live rather than to survive.

Parallelism in the infinitive verbs is required: 'to live' should be balanced with 'to survive.' Adding 'to' before 'survive' makes the comparison grammatically parallel and more natural. Suggestion: maintain parallel structure when listing verb phrases.

× This motivates me to keep pushing through and see the bigger picture in life.

✓ This motivates me to keep pushing through and to see the bigger picture in life.

To maintain parallel infinitive structure, include 'to' before both verbs: 'to keep pushing through' and 'to see.' Without 'to' before 'see' the sentence is acceptable colloquially but less formal and less parallel. Suggestion: use parallel infinitives for clarity in formal speech.

× I remember things by writing them down either in a piece of paper or on my phone.

✓ I remember things by writing them down either on a piece of paper or on my phone.

The correct preposition with 'a piece of paper' is 'on' rather than 'in.' Use 'on a piece of paper' and parallel prepositions for clarity. Suggestion: when presenting alternatives, keep prepositions parallel.

× I tend to forget a lot of things because I have a lot of responsibilities on a daily basis, which is why I always have my notes with me to help me remind of the tasks that I need to do.

✓ I tend to forget a lot of things because I have many responsibilities on a daily basis, which is why I always have my notes with me to help me remember the tasks I need to do.

Multiple issues: 'a lot of responsibilities' is acceptable but 'many responsibilities' is more concise; 'help me remind of the tasks' is incorrect—'remind' needs an object (someone) or reflexive structure, but the intended verb is 'remember.' Change to 'help me remember the tasks I need to do.' Also remove redundant 'that' and 'to' for concision. Suggestion: use 'remember' not 'remind' when the subject is recalling, and avoid redundant phrases.
