Memory— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Make the response more natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, avoid repetition, correct minor grammar (use 'memorising' or 'memorization', 'visual memory', 'things about them'), and add one brief example to support the claim. Use linking words if adding details.

Exemplo: Yes, I’m quite good at memorising things, especially visually. For example, I often remember people by their faces and distinctive features, and I rarely forget important dates like birthdays. This visual memory helps me recognise classmates and recall details about them.

Sugestão: Organise the reply with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar and tense, avoid filler words (uh), and limit to 2–3 sentences. Use linking words (so, therefore, but) and give a concise result or consequence of the action.

Exemplo: Yes, I have. For example, three months ago I forgot my best friend’s birthday, so she felt upset and thought I didn’t care. To make up for it, I planned a surprise celebration and apologised, which helped repair our relationship.

Sugestão: Start with a clear topic sentence, use precise vocabulary (assignments, deadlines), avoid filler words, and structure supporting details with linking words (for example, and also). Keep it within three sentences and be specific about what you must remember.

Exemplo: As an architecture student, I need to remember many deadlines for assignments and project submissions. I also make a point of remembering daily routines for my health, such as staying hydrated and getting enough sleep, because they keep me productive.

Sugestão: Be concise and avoid repetition; use precise phrases (a small notebook, reminder apps). Combine supporting details with a linking word and provide a brief example of how this method works (e.g., a checklist or notifications).

Exemplo: I usually write important tasks in a small notebook because writing helps me retain information, and I also use reminder apps that send notifications. For instance, I set alarms for project deadlines and check my notebook every morning to stay organised.

× Yes, I always have a good recall, especially visual memorizing.

✓ Yes, I always have a good memory, especially for visual information.

The phrase 'good recall' is understandable but 'good memory' is the more natural noun phrase; 'visual memorizing' is incorrect word choice and form. Use 'for' with 'visual information' or 'visual memory'. Suggestion: use nouns ('memory', 'visual information') rather than '-ing' verbs here.

× I can remember people by their faces and things that they were.

✓ I can remember people by their faces and the things about them.

The original uses an incorrect structure 'things that they were' which is ungrammatical. Use 'the things about them' to refer to facts or details related to people. This fixes pronoun reference and improves clarity.

× And also I'm very good at remembering birthday dates.

✓ I'm also very good at remembering birthdays.

'Birthday dates' is not wrong but unnatural; 'remembering birthdays' is more idiomatic. Also move 'also' to flow more naturally. No preposition error remains after change; this suggestion improves natural phrasing.

× Yes I have, three months ago was my best friend's birthday and I actually forgot the right day of her birthday and she was very uh upset and thought that she wasn't very important for me but I make her a plan and surprise her.

✓ Yes, I have. Three months ago it was my best friend's birthday and I actually forgot the correct day. She was very upset and thought that she wasn't important to me, but I made a plan and surprised her.

Multiple tense and phrasing errors: use past simple ('it was', 'forgot', 'was', 'made', 'surprised') for a completed event three months ago. 'Right day of her birthday' -> 'correct day' or 'the correct day'; 'was very uh upset' -> remove filler and use 'very upset'; 'wasn't very important for me' should be 'wasn't important to me'. 'I make her a plan and surprise her' should be past: 'I made a plan and surprised her.' Use consistent past tense for narration of past events.

× I'm an architecture student so I have a lot of says that I have to remember and uh, don't forget to uh, cross the deadlines.

✓ I'm an architecture student, so I have a lot of things that I have to remember and not forget to meet the deadlines.

'a lot of says' is incorrect; 'things' fits. 'don't forget to cross the deadlines' is unidiomatic; use 'not forget to meet the deadlines' or 'to keep track of deadlines'. Also add a comma after the introductory clause and use consistent infinitive structure 'to remember and not forget'.

× And also I have to remember to stay hydrated and have enough sleep for my health.

✓ I also have to remember to stay hydrated and to get enough sleep for my health.

Use 'get enough sleep' rather than 'have enough sleep' for natural English. Include parallel infinitive 'to stay' and 'to get' for grammatical parallelism.

× I write everything down on a small notebook because when I write down things it helps me to remember things and also I uh, use some applications that reminds me of important events.

✓ I write everything down in a small notebook because when I write things down it helps me remember, and I also use some applications that remind me of important events.

Use 'in a small notebook' (not 'on'). Maintain word order 'write things down'. Remove redundant 'to' after 'helps' ('helps me remember' not 'helps me to remember' is acceptable; both are okay but shorter is natural). 'applications that reminds' must be plural subject-verb agreement 'applications that remind'. Also avoid repeating 'things' too often; streamline sentence for clarity.
