Ví dụ: I usually remember names by repeating them silently after being introduced because repetition helps me fix the name in my mind. For example, if someone says their name is Sarah, I silently repeat “Sarah” a few times and associate it with a detail like her hairstyle.

× Yes, I have good memory so I always remember the right name of HP.
✓ Yes, I have a good memory, so I always remember the correct name of people.
Missing article before 'memory' and incorrect adjective choice and phrasing. Add 'a' before 'good memory' (article error) and use 'correct' rather than 'right' for names; 'the right name of HP' is unclear — use 'the correct name of people' or specify a person. Also add a comma before 'so' for clarity.
× Well, it's hard to say I just remember it.
✓ Well, it's hard to say; I just remember them.
Sentence is run-on and pronoun agreement is wrong. Use a semicolon or period to separate clauses and use 'them' to refer to 'names' (plural). This fixes structure and pronoun reference.
× I don't know why and I don't have some special skills.
✓ I don't know why, and I don't have any special skills.
Use 'any' with negative sentences instead of 'some'. Also add a comma before 'and' for readability.
× I just remember it.
✓ I just remember them.
Pronoun agreement: 'it' is singular but refers to 'names' (plural). Use 'them' for plural antecedent.
× It's easy for me.
✓ It's easy for me to remember names.
Sentence is vague; add 'to remember names' to clarify what 'it' refers to. This improves clarity and completes the idea.
× Um it depends on the situation.
✓ Um, it depends on the situation.
Missing comma after the discourse marker 'Um'. Adding the comma improves natural spoken punctuation.
× If I really like the person I met and I really want to I really wanted to let leave him or her a very strong impression.
✓ If I really like the person I meet and I really want to, I really want to leave a very strong impression on him or her.
Mixed tenses and incorrect verb forms: 'met' (past) should be 'meet' (present) to match general situation; 'I really wanted to let leave' is ungrammatical — use 'I really want to leave'. Also use 'leave an impression on someone' (preposition use). Add commas for clarity.
× I'll feel some sadness. I'll feel some sadness for the
✓ I'll feel sad.
Repetition and incomplete fragment. Use 'I'll feel sad' to express the idea concisely. Remove the incomplete trailing fragment.
× No, actually I'm not usually forget people's name because I think it's very unpolite and it's very embarrassed too when you forgot someone's name when you are talking.
✓ No, actually I don't usually forget people's names because I think it's very impolite and it's embarrassing when you forget someone's name while talking.
Multiple errors: verb and auxiliary order — use 'I don't usually forget' not 'I'm not usually forget' (present simple). 'People's name' should be plural 'people's names'. 'Unpolite' is incorrect; use 'impolite'. 'It's very embarrassed' should be 'it's embarrassing' (incorrect use of adjective vs. adverb). Tense consistency: 'you forgot someone's name when you are talking' should be 'you forget... while talking'.
× So I always remember their names in my mind to avoid that circumstances.
✓ So I always keep their names in mind to avoid those circumstances.
Incorrect preposition and noun forms: use 'keep in mind' not 'remember in my mind'. 'That circumstances' should be plural 'those circumstances'. Adjust verb phrase accordingly.
