Memory— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Give a direct, clear answer and then briefly support it with a relevant, coherent example. Use correct tense and simple sentences (max 5). Avoid fragmented phrases and repetitions. Start with a topic sentence (Yes/No + brief reason), then add one specific supporting detail and a linking word.

例: Yes, I am fairly good at memorising things because I practise regularly. For example, when I was ten I used to learn basketball drills with a neighbour, and repeating the moves helped me remember them quickly.

提案: Answer the question directly (Yes or No) and give a specific instance or explanation. Use a clear topic sentence followed by one or two supporting details with linking words to make your response coherent.

例: Yes, I have forgotten something important once. For instance, I once forgot my passport at home before a flight, so I had to rush back and nearly missed the check-in.

提案: Start with a clear topic sentence stating what you need to remember. Use one or two specific examples and linking words (for example, such as, because) to explain how you remember them. Keep sentences grammatical and concise.

例: I need to remember everyday tasks such as work meetings, groceries and appointments. For example, I mentally review my schedule each morning so I don't forget important tasks during the day.

提案: Provide a direct topic sentence about your method, then add a specific detail about how you use it and why it helps. Use correct grammar and a linking word to connect the idea and result. Keep it concise and natural.

例: I usually write notes and set reminders in my phone. For example, I create a checklist in a notes app and tick items off as I complete them, which helps me stay organised and not forget important tasks.

× Yes, I am when I was 10 years old with my neighbor's girl.

✓ Yes, I was when I was 10 years old with my neighbor's girl.

The speaker answers a past-time question. 'Yes, I am' is present tense and conflicts with 'when I was 10 years old.' Use past tense 'I was' to match the time reference. Suggestion: Use consistent tense for time expressions; for example, 'I was good at memorising things when I was 10.'

× We are.

✓ We were.

This fragment 'We are.' is present tense and incomplete in context describing past events. The intended meaning is past action, so 'We were.' completes the thought and matches past narrative. Suggestion: Ensure verbs match the narrative tense and avoid short fragments; expand to a full clause if needed (e.g., 'We were friends').

× We are play.

✓ We were playing.

The sentence incorrectly mixes present 'are' with base verb 'play.' To describe an action in progress in the past, use past progressive 'were playing.' Suggestion: For past ongoing actions, use 'was/were + -ing.'

× We was we were playing basketball and.

✓ We were playing basketball.

'We was' is subject-verb disagreement: 'we' requires 'were.' The sentence also has redundancy and an incomplete conjunction 'and.' Remove duplicate and trailing conjunction to form a correct clause. Suggestion: Use 'we were' for plural past continuous and avoid repeating the subject or leaving incomplete phrases.

× I don't know, it was hard for me.

✓ I don't know; it is hard for me.

The question asked 'Have you ever forgotten something important?' The student's intended meaning is unclear. If they mean it remains difficult now, use present 'it is hard for me.' If they refer to a past event, 'I didn't know; it was hard for me' is possible. Here 'I don't know; it is hard for me' better matches ongoing difficulty. Suggestion: Clarify whether referring to past or present and make tense consistent with that meaning.

× I think I always thinks to do in my mind, in my brain, so.

✓ I think I always think things to do in my mind, so

Subject-verb agreement and verb form: after 'I' use base form 'think,' not 'thinks.' Also 'think things to do' or 'think about things I need to do' is more natural. 'In my brain' is redundant with 'in my mind.' Suggestion: Use 'I think I always think about the things I need to do in my mind.'

× So I don't forget my daily life routine.

✓ So I don't forget my daily routine.

The phrase 'daily life routine' is redundant and awkward. 'Daily routine' is the standard expression. Tense 'don't forget' is fine when describing habitual present. Suggestion: Prefer concise collocations: 'daily routine' or 'daily schedule.'

× I always write notes in my phone application and I checklist right then I check.

✓ I always write notes in my phone app and make a checklist, then I check it.

Multiple issues: 'phone application' is wordy—'phone app' is natural. 'I checklist' improperly uses a noun as a verb; use 'make a checklist.' 'Right then I check' awkward; 'then I check it' clarifies the object. Also include 'it' to show what is checked. Suggestion: Use correct verb forms and objects: 'I make a checklist and then I check it.'
