Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and avoid minor contradictions. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one strong supporting example. Use linking words to connect ideas (e.g., 'for instance', 'so'). Correct the mixed message about relying on memory but also relying on reminders.

Ví dụ: Yes, I am generally good at memorising things, particularly names and numbers. For instance, I can remember colleagues' names and phone numbers after meeting them once, so I only use phone reminders for very busy days.

Gợi ý: Provide clearer grammar and a brief reflection on why it happened and what you learned. Use linking words (e.g., 'because', 'so', 'after that') and correct tense/word choice ('busy with work'). Keep it to two or three sentences.

Ví dụ: Yes, once I forgot my father's birthday because I was very busy with work, so I called him that evening to apologise. After that I bought him a small gift and set a recurring reminder on my phone to avoid repeating the mistake.

Gợi ý: Clarify vocabulary and grammar (fix phrases like 'worked at lines' and 'write tests'). Give specific examples of items you remember (appointments, deadlines, groceries) and explain one method you use, using linking words like 'for example' and 'so'. Keep within three sentences.

Ví dụ: I need to remember appointments, work deadlines and grocery items every day. For example, I set calendar alerts for meetings and keep a To‑Do List for tasks, so I don't miss anything important.

Gợi ý: Improve grammar and complete sentences. Use one or two specific techniques and give a concrete example of a visual cue. Use linking words ('for example', 'also') and avoid sentence fragments.

Ví dụ: I use digital tools and simple memory techniques. For example, I prioritise tasks in my To‑Do List app and set calendar alerts, and I also repeat key points aloud and attach them to visual cues, like a sticky note on my laptop screen.

× Yes, I'm quite good at remembering things, especially numbers or names of important people. For example, I can recall the phone numbers and the names of my colleagues after meeting them once, so I really rely on reminders or notes on my phone.

✓ Yes, I'm quite good at remembering things, especially numbers or the names of important people. For example, I can recall phone numbers and the names of my colleagues after meeting them once, so I rely on reminders or notes on my phone.

The original sentence had minor article use and redundancy issues rather than major tense problems. 'the phone numbers' is better as 'phone numbers' for general ability. 'the names of important people' should be 'the names of important people' or 'the names of important people' kept; clarified to 'the names of my colleagues' already used so 'the names of important people' changed to 'the names of important people' -> corrected to 'the names of important people' was kept but shortened to 'the names of my colleagues' for consistency. Also 'really rely' is acceptable but 'rely' is more natural here. Suggestion: focus on concise article use and avoid unnecessary adverbs.

× Yes, once I forgot my father's birthday because I was really busy work, so I called him that evening to apologize.

✓ Yes, once I forgot my father's birthday because I was really busy with work, so I called him that evening to apologize.

Missing preposition 'with' after 'busy' is required when referring to being occupied by something. The sentence tense is correct (past), but the phrase 'busy work' is incorrect here because 'busy' needs 'with work' to show reason. Suggestion: use 'busy with work' or 'very busy at work'.

× The next day I bought him a small gift to make it up to him and he was very understanding.

✓ The next day I bought him a small gift to make it up to him, and he was very understanding.

Tense and structure are correct (past). The only issue is punctuation: add a comma before the conjunction 'and' when joining two independent clauses. Suggestion: include appropriate punctuation to improve clarity.

× I have a lot to remember every day, such as worked at lines and appointments, so I set reminders on my phone and write tests on To Do List to avoid forgetting.

✓ I have a lot to remember every day, such as work deadlines and appointments, so I set reminders on my phone and write items on my To-Do list to avoid forgetting.

Several errors: 'worked at lines' is ungrammatical and likely intended 'work deadlines' or 'work tasks' — corrected to 'work deadlines'. 'write tests on To Do List' is incorrect: 'write items on my To-Do list' or 'write tasks on my To-Do list' is appropriate. Present tense 'have' and 'set' are correct. Suggestion: use noun phrases ('work deadlines') and standard collocations ('To-Do list', 'write items/tasks').

× I use a combination of the digital tools and memory techniques. For example, on prioritize tasks in my To Do List apps and set calendar alerts so I don't miss deadlines or appointments.

✓ I use a combination of digital tools and memory techniques. For example, I prioritize tasks in my To-Do list apps and set calendar alerts so I don't miss deadlines or appointments.

Errors: unnecessary article 'the' before 'digital tools' — remove it. The fragment 'on prioritize tasks' is incorrect: should be 'I prioritize tasks'. Present simple is appropriate. Also 'To Do List apps' should be 'To-Do list apps'. Suggestion: ensure subject and verb are present and in correct order; avoid stray prepositions.

× I also repeat key points out and attach them to visual cues like.

✓ I also repeat key points out loud and attach them to visual cues, such as notes or images.

Original sentence is incomplete and ends abruptly with 'like.' It lacks an object after 'like' and 'repeat key points out' is better as 'repeat key points out loud'. Also provide examples after 'such as'. Suggestion: complete the comparative phrase and use 'out loud' for clarity; give concrete examples of visual cues.
