Memory— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: Be more concise and grammatical: begin with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific reasons with linking words. Avoid repetition and unclear phrases (e.g., “the my risk is become less”). Use present simple for current ability and past simple for childhood.

Ejemplo: I used to be good at memorising when I was a child because I often studied by rote to do well in exams. However, now I find it harder to memorise things, probably because I rely more on notes and electronic reminders than on learning by heart.

Sugerencia: Start with a direct answer, then give a specific method and an example. Use linking words like ‘because’ or ‘so’ and avoid small grammatical errors (e.g., 'take a note' → 'take notes', 'regret of' → 'regret'). Keep it to two or three sentences.

Ejemplo: No, I haven't forgotten anything important because I always take notes and set alarms on my phone. For example, I set an alarm and write the meeting details in my planner so I don't miss appointments.

Sugerencia: Use consistent tense and a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific examples. Replace fillers like 'uh' and correct small errors ('complete then' → 'complete them'). Use linking words like 'so' or 'therefore' to show purpose.

Ejemplo: I plan my day in advance and make a short to‑do list so I can prioritise important tasks. For instance, I list my work deadlines and household chores each morning to make sure I complete them on time.

Sugerencia: Begin with a direct positive statement, correct grammar (e.g., 'I remember important things by taking notes and setting alarms'), and remove confusing phrasing about your mother. If you rely on someone else, explain clearly how they help. Keep it to two sentences and use linking words like 'also' or 'in addition'.

Ejemplo: I remember important things by taking notes and setting alarms on my phone. I also ask my mother to remind me about meetings if they are especially important, so I have two layers of reminders.

× 'Yes, I used to be a good at memorizing things when I was a child.'

✓ 'Yes, I used to be good at memorizing things when I was a child.'

'a good' is incorrect because 'good' is an adjective and does not need the indefinite article when used predicatively after 'be'. Remove 'a' to match correct subject-predicate structure.'

× 'At the time in my schools I used to memorize a lot of things to do well in my academic exam.'

✓ 'At that time at school I used to memorize a lot of things to do well in my academic exams.'

'in my schools' is incorrect preposition and phrasing; use 'at school'. 'At the time' should be 'at that time' for clarity. 'Exam' should be plural 'exams' when referring generally. These changes correct preposition and noun number.'

× 'But right now I'm not that quite good at memorizing things.'

✓ 'But right now I'm not that good at memorizing things.'

'that quite' is an incorrect adverb order; 'quite' and 'that' together are redundant and ordered incorrectly. Use either 'not that good' or 'not very good' to be natural.'

× 'Maybe due to the age right now I'm growing up that's why the my risk is become less.'

✓ 'Maybe because I am getting older, my memory has become worse.'

'due to the age' is awkward; use 'because I am getting older' for cause. 'I'm growing up' is unnecessary for an adult context. 'the my risk is become less' is ungrammatical and unclear; likely meant 'my memory has become worse.' This corrects tense, article and word choice.'

× 'No, I haven't forgotten anything as important because I always try to take a note so that I don't regret of forgetting that information.'

✓ 'No, I haven't forgotten anything important because I always try to take notes so that I don't regret forgetting that information.'

'as important' is incorrect; use 'anything important.' 'take a note' should be plural 'take notes' for habitual action. 'regret of forgetting' is wrong; 'regret forgetting' is correct verb+gerund structure.'

× 'I'm quite cautious about the important things, that's why I try to take notes and have and set an alarm to remind that.'

✓ 'I'm quite cautious about important things, so I try to take notes and set an alarm to remind me.'

Remove the definite article before 'important things' when speaking generally. 'that's why' can be 'so' for sentence flow. 'have and set an alarm' is redundant; use 'set an alarm'. 'remind that' needs an object: 'remind me.' This fixes article, redundancy and pronoun use.'

× 'I was planning my day in advance and make a short To Do List uh that helps me prioritize important tasks, complete then properly and avoid forgetting anything.'

✓ 'I plan my day in advance and make a short to-do list that helps me prioritize important tasks, complete them properly and avoid forgetting anything.'

'I was planning' suggests continuous past but speaker means a habitual present: use 'I plan'. 'To Do List' should be 'to-do list' lowercase. 'then' is incorrect word; use 'them' to refer to tasks. These changes correct tense and pronoun.'

× 'I don't remember my important things by taking notes and set an alarm on my phone.'

✓ 'I remember important things by taking notes and setting an alarm on my phone.'

'don't remember' is wrong polarity; speaker intends to say how they remember things. Use affirmative 'I remember'. Also parallel gerunds: 'taking' and 'setting'—use 'setting' not 'set'. This fixes tense/negation and verb -ing form.'

× 'Apart from that, I always tell my mom about the important meetings or important tasks so that she can Remember Me.'

✓ 'Apart from that, I always tell my mom about important meetings or tasks so that she can remind me.'

'Remember Me' is incorrect capitalization and wrong verb; native phrasing is 'remind me'. Also remove repeated 'important' and lowercase. This fixes pronoun/verb choice and style.'

× 'By telling a short short, I mean by telling me about that program.'

✓ 'By this I mean she gives me a short reminder about the event.'

The original is ungrammatical and unclear. 'By telling a short short' is meaningless; rephrase to clarify intended meaning. Use 'By this I mean she gives me a short reminder about the event' to provide clear structure and correct pronoun reference. This addresses sentence structure and clarity.'
