Memory— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Be more concise and natural: start with a direct topic sentence, give one clear reason, and avoid repetition. Use linking words for flow and correct simple grammar (memorizing spelling).

예시: Not really. I struggle with memorizing vocabulary because I tend to forget new words soon after learning them, so I focus on reviewing them daily to retain them.

제안: Begin with a direct answer, then give a brief specific detail and an emotion, using a linking word to connect ideas and correct preposition (‘sorry to’ → ‘sorry for’ or ‘apologize to’).

예시: Yes. Once I forgot my best friend’s birthday party because I mixed up the dates, and as a result I felt very upset and apologised to her the next day.

제안: Use present tense and start with a clear topic sentence. Provide a specific concrete detail and link reason and result. Avoid awkward phrasing like ‘number of my student’ — say ‘student numbers’ or ‘how many students’.

예시: I need to remember how many students will attend lunch each day, because I have to reserve enough meals before lunchtime to make sure nobody misses out.

제안: Be specific about methods and use clear nouns (e.g. ‘sticky notes’ instead of ‘chips’). Use linking words to explain why the method works and keep it within 3–4 sentences.

예시: I usually write important tasks on sticky notes or set an alarm on my phone at the right time, because visual reminders and alerts help me remember to do things on schedule.

× I felt very upset and sorry to her.

✓ I felt very upset and sorry for her.

The student used the wrong preposition with the adjective 'sorry'. In English we say 'sorry for someone' to express sympathy. Use 'for' not 'to'. Also this falls under incorrect use of pronouns/preposition pairing; replace 'to' with 'for' to convey the intended meaning. Suggestion: Use 'sorry for someone' when expressing sympathy, e.g., 'I felt very upset and sorry for her.'

× I had to remember checking on the number of my student because I need to help them reserve their lunch before the lunch time.

✓ I have to remember to check the number of my students because I need to help them reserve their lunch before lunchtime.

Multiple issues: verb pattern and number agreement. 'Remember checking' implies recalling a past action; here the student means a habitual or future obligation, so use 'remember to check'. 'Number of my student' should be plural 'students'. 'Lunch time' is normally 'lunchtime' as one word. Also maintain tense consistency: 'have to... need to' works for present obligation. Suggestion: Use 'remember to' + base verb for obligations, pluralize count nouns, and use 'lunchtime'.

× I write it down on the chips or make a clock at the time I need to do it.

✓ I write it down on a piece of paper or set an alarm for the time I need to do it.

The original uses 'chips' and 'make a clock', which are incorrect collocations. Also 'write it down on the chips' is unclear. The intended meaning is to note things or set a reminder. Replace with common expressions: 'write it down on a piece of paper' and 'set an alarm'. Use 'for the time I need to do it' for purpose. Suggestion: Use natural collocations for reminders: 'write it down' and 'set an alarm' to express methods of remembering.

× Once I forgot to attend my best friend's birthday party.

✓ Once I forgot to attend my best friend's birthday party.

This sentence is grammatically correct in past tense and needs no change. It correctly uses past tense 'forgot' to describe a past event. No action required.

× Actually not. I'm not good at memorizing things, especially the vocabulary, because I always forget the things soon after I learn them.

✓ Actually, I'm not good at memorizing things, especially vocabulary, because I always forget them soon after I learn them.

Minor grammatical and stylistic issues: add a comma after 'Actually'. 'the vocabulary' is better as 'vocabulary' without 'the'. 'the things' is vague; use 'them' to refer back to 'things' (pronoun). Maintain present tense consistency. Suggestion: Use pronouns to avoid repetition and remove unnecessary articles.
