× Not really because sometimes I forget my college matchmates names and we are only uh remember their names as uh they are nicknames so other thing.
✓ Not really, because sometimes I forget my college classmates' names, and we only remember them by their nicknames.
Pronoun use and possessive forms are incorrect: 'matchmates' should be 'classmates'; possessive apostrophe needed in 'classmates' names' -> 'classmates' names' simplified to 'classmates' names' then revised to 'classmates' names' and 'we are only remember' is ungrammatical. Also 'they are nicknames' is wrong pronoun reference; use 'their nicknames'. Suggestion: use 'classmates' and the possessive 'their' and simplify verb phrase to 'we only remember them by their nicknames.'
× Most of the times I remember as their names short form.
✓ Most of the time I remember their names in short form.
Idiomatic expression and tense: 'Most of the times' should be 'Most of the time' (adverbial phrase). 'I remember as their names short form' has wrong word order and preposition. Correct structure is 'remember their names in short form.' Suggestion: use 'Most of the time' and place 'in short form' after the object.
× Sometimes I remember their nicknames, not their exact name.
✓ Sometimes I remember their nicknames, not their exact names.
Number agreement with pronoun: 'their' implies plural, so 'name' should be plural 'names.' Suggestion: match plural pronouns with plural nouns: 'their exact names.'
× For example, we have friend Chamira so we remember as his name as Chami.
✓ For example, we have a friend Chamira, so we remember his name as Chami.
Article and pronoun order: missing article 'a' before 'friend.' 'We remember as his name as Chami' is ungrammatical order; correct is 'we remember his name as Chami.' Also combine clauses with comma and 'so.' Suggestion: include articles and place object and complement in correct order.
× Sometimes I feel frustrated about it if it is my good friend in college or the university, but if it is uh normal batch made, it is OK to forgot my name.
✓ Sometimes I feel frustrated if it is my good friend from college or university, but if it is a normal batchmate, it is OK to forget my name.
Multiple errors: use 'from college or university' (preposition), 'good friend' is fine, 'batch made' should be 'batchmate' (wrong word). 'It is OK to forgot' uses incorrect verb tense; use infinitive 'to forget.' Also article 'a' before 'normal batchmate.' Suggestion: use correct noun 'batchmate', 'from' for affiliation, and 'to forget' as infinitive after 'to.'
× Of course, I forget most of the people's name, politicians and other people, other singers as well, because I am not good at, uh, memorising things.
✓ Of course, I forget most people's names — politicians and other public figures, like singers, as well — because I am not good at memorizing things.
Pluralization: 'most of the people's name' is incorrect; use 'most people's names.' Repetition 'other people, other singers' is awkward; combine into 'other public figures, like singers.' 'Memorising' spelled British; kept meaning but standardized to 'memorizing' (either is acceptable). Suggestion: pluralize nouns correctly and streamline list using commas or dashes.
× Because we need to memorize all the things in our university and our college. All the things.
✓ We need to memorize a lot of information at university and college, which makes it harder to remember names.
Fragment and repetition: starting with 'Because' created a fragment; 'all the things' is vague and repetitive. Combine into a complete sentence that explains cause and effect. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments by attaching clause to main sentence and use specific nouns like 'information.'
