Memory— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise and natural: begin with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct grammar (memorising vs memorizing depending on variety; here use 'memorising' British). Add one specific example of a memory lapse and a linking word to make it coherent. Keep within 3–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Not really — I’m not very good at memorising things. For example, I sometimes forget where I put my keys a few minutes after I set them down. To cope, I make lists and set phone reminders so I don’t miss important tasks.

Sugestão: Improve grammar and clarity: start with a direct answer (Yes), avoid redundancy, correct subject-verb agreement and word choice, and use a linking word to add the coping strategy. Provide one concrete example of an important thing you forgot.

Exemplo: Yes, I have. For instance, I once missed a dentist appointment because I forgot the date. Since then, I record important events on my phone and set multiple reminders so I don’t miss them.

Sugestão: Be structured: start with a topic sentence naming the main things, then add specific examples using linking words (for example, also, and). Fix grammar (e.g. 'my friend's birthdays', 'household chores such as cleaning and vacuuming'). Keep it within 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: Mostly I need to remember appointments and meeting times. Also, I try to remember friends’ birthdays so I can send messages or meet them, and household chores like cleaning and vacuuming on weekends.

Sugestão: Reduce hesitation and repetition: give a clear topic sentence about your main method, then add one or two supporting details with linking words. Use precise verbs (I record events, I set alarms) and avoid fillers (uh).

Exemplo: I rely mainly on my phone: I record tasks in a notes app and set alarms for deadlines. If something is particularly important, I also write it in a planner so I have a backup.

× No, I'm not very good at memorizing.

✓ No, I'm not very good at memorizing.

Sentence is correct; present continuous "I'm not" with gerund "memorizing" is appropriate for a general ability. No change needed.

× I have a weak memory so sometimes I forget things I did just a few minutes ago.

✓ I have a weak memory, so sometimes I forget things I did just a few minutes ago.

Missing comma before the coordinating conjunction 'so' joining two independent clauses. Add a comma for correct sentence structure; tense usage is appropriate.

× It's a big problem, but I'm trying to improve by using lists and setting phone reminders.

✓ It's a big problem, but I'm trying to improve by using lists and setting phone reminders.

Sentence is grammatically correct. Present continuous 'I'm trying' with gerunds 'using' and 'setting' is appropriate. No change needed.

× Of course, I have so much important things that I forgot because my memorizing skills is not that good good, but I try to record all important things that I need to do in my phone and setting a phone reminders so I can remember about it.

✓ Of course, I have so many important things that I forget because my memorizing skills are not that good, but I try to record all the important things I need to do in my phone and set phone reminders so I can remember them.

Multiple issues corrected but only those matching the provided list were applied: 'so much' should be 'so many' for countable 'things' (quantifier error). 'Memorizing skills is' should be 'memorizing skills are' (subject-verb agreement; ID 27) and duplicated 'good'. Verb forms: changed 'forgot' to 'forget' to match present general habit (present tense; ID 6). 'setting a phone reminders' changed to 'set phone reminders' (verb + -ing issue; ID 8 and article errors ID 22). Replaced 'remember about it' with 'remember them' (preposition/pronoun use; IDs 11 and 12). Suggestions: use 'many' with countable nouns, ensure subject-verb agreement with plural subjects, keep consistent tense for habitual actions, use base verb after 'try to', and use correct pronouns without unnecessary prepositions.

× I try to record all important things that I need to do in my phone and setting a phone reminders so I can remember about it.

✓ I try to record all the important things I need to do on my phone and set phone reminders so I can remember them.

Use of article: 'all important things' is better as 'all the important things' for specificity (article error, ID 22). Preposition 'in my phone' should be 'on my phone' (preposition error, ID 11). 'setting a phone reminders' should be 'set phone reminders' (verb form; ID 8 and article/plural mismatch). 'remember about it' is incorrect; use 'remember them' (pronoun and preposition error, IDs 12 and 11). Suggestions: use 'the' when referring to specific items, prefer 'on' with devices, use infinitive after 'try to', and use correct object pronouns.

× I need to remember my appointment and meeting times and also my friend's birthday so I don't forget to celebrate with them and send them a nice message.

✓ I need to remember my appointment and meeting times and also my friends' birthdays so I don't forget to celebrate with them and send them nice messages.

'my friend's birthday' could be plural 'my friends' birthdays' if referring to multiple friends; original could be singular but context implies multiple friends (article/plural error, ID 1 and 22). Also 'a nice message' changed to 'nice messages' to match plural recipients. Suggestions: make plural nouns and articles consistent with intended meaning; use possessive plural 'friends'' for multiple friends.

× So I also need to remember some my home things but I need to clean my room or vacuuming.

✓ I also need to remember some household tasks, like cleaning my room or vacuuming.

Original has awkward word order 'some my home things' (word order/article error, IDs 26 and 22) and incorrect parallelism 'clean my room or vacuuming' (verb form inconsistency; should be 'clean my room or vacuum'). Suggestions: use 'household tasks' or 'home things', place determiners before nouns ('some of my...'), and maintain parallel verb forms.

× I try to record, I try to record them to my phone and also using, uh, alarms to things what I need to do.

✓ I try to record them on my phone and also use alarms for the things I need to do.

Errors: 'record them to my phone' should be 'record them on my phone' (preposition, ID 11). 'also using' should be 'also use' to match parallel structure after 'I try to' (verb + -ing issue and sentence structure, IDs 8 and 26). 'to things what I need to do' should be 'for the things I need to do' (preposition and relative clause order, IDs 11 and 26). Suggestions: keep parallel verb forms after repeated 'I try to', use correct prepositions with devices and purposes, and use 'what' replaced by 'that' or restructure to 'the things I need to do'.

× And also I just try to keep everything in my head.

✓ I also try to keep everything in my head.

Redundant 'And also' is informal; 'I also try' is clearer. Present tense 'try' is appropriate. Suggestion: avoid filler words and use concise phrasing.

× But if I think I uh, can forget some things, I need to just write it down.

✓ But if I think I might forget some things, I just need to write them down.

Modal verb: 'can forget' is grammatical but 'might forget' better expresses possibility (modal verb usage, ID 4). 'need to just write it down' awkward word order; 'just need to write them down' is clearer. Pronoun 'it' should be 'them' to refer to 'things' (pronoun error, ID 12). Suggestions: use 'might' or 'could' for possibility, place 'just' before 'need' or after 'just' for emphasis, and match pronouns to plural nouns.
