Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Câu trả lời tự nhiên và rõ ràng, nhưng có thể ngắn gọn hơn và dùng từ nối để mạch lạc. Nên thêm một câu mở đầu trực tiếp trả lời câu hỏi, giảm lặp từ (ví dụ “memorizing things”) và sửa lỗi nhỏ (long-term).

Ví dụ: Yes, generally I am good at memorising things. For example, I can remember study material well when I’m interested in the topic, but I often review key points several times to transfer them into my long-term memory.

Gợi ý: Nội dung có ví dụ cụ thể, nhưng cần câu liên kết mượt và ngữ pháp chính xác hơn (ví dụ “wreck my brains” không tự nhiên; thiếu mạo từ và số nhiều: “a family member”). Hạn chế dùng thành ngữ hiếm gặp, và giữ tối đa 4–5 câu.

Ví dụ: Yes, I have. For instance, during an exam I once blanked on a key fact I had revised, which was very stressful. On another occasion I left my keys at school and had to wait for a family member to come and let me in.

Gợi ý: Rất rõ ràng và có nội dung cụ thể; tuy nhiên có thể dùng từ nối để liên kết ý (for example, moreover) và rút ngắn câu để tránh dài dòng. Tránh liệt kê quá dài nếu không cần thiết.

Ví dụ: I need to remember things like my study schedule, assignment deadlines and appointments. For example, I always check that I have my keys, wallet and phone before leaving home because forgetting them would be very inconvenient.

Gợi ý: Rất tốt: cấu trúc rõ ràng, có ví dụ cụ thể, và các phương pháp đa dạng. Chỉ cần nhỏ gọn và thêm từ nối để mạch lạc hơn (e.g., for example, furthermore).

Ví dụ: I use a combination of methods. For example, I write important tasks in a notebook or on my phone, repeat key information aloud, and set alarms or place sticky notes in visible spots when something is especially important.

× I can usually remember information quite well, especially if it's related to my studies or something I'm interested in.

✓ I can usually remember information quite well, especially if it's related to my studies or something I'm interested in.

No article error; sentence is correct. (No change needed)

× However, I still need to review important information several times to make sure it stays in my long term memory.

✓ However, I still need to review important information several times to make sure it stays in my long-term memory.

Hyphenation issue for the compound adjective 'long-term' modifying 'memory'. Use a hyphen when two words jointly modify a noun. Suggestion: write 'long-term memory'.

× I remember once during an exam I completely forgot a key piece of information that I had revised beforehand so I had to wreck my brains to recall it.

✓ I remember that once during an exam I completely forgot a key piece of information that I had revised beforehand, so I had to rack my brains to recall it.

Sequence of tenses is acceptable, but punctuation and word choice error: 'wreck my brains' is incorrect idiom; correct idiom is 'rack my brains'. Also add 'that' after 'I remember' for clarity and a comma before 'so'. Suggestion: use 'I remember that once...' and 'rack my brains'.

× Another time I left my house keys at school and had to wait outside until family member came home and opened the door for me.

✓ Another time I left my house keys at school and had to wait outside until a family member came home and opened the door for me.

Missing article 'a' before 'family member'. In English singular countable nouns require an article or determiner. Suggestion: use 'a family member'.

× In my daily life, I need to remember quite a lot of things such as my study schedule, assignment deadlines, or appointments.

✓ In my daily life, I need to remember quite a lot of things such as my study schedule, assignment deadlines, and appointments.

Use of list conjunction: when listing three items, use 'and' before the final item instead of comma + 'or' to indicate these are all things to remember. Suggestion: use 'and appointments'.

× I also try to keep track of small but important tasks like bringing my keys, wallet, and phone whenever I leave home.

✓ I also try to keep track of small but important tasks like bringing my keys, wallet, and phone whenever I leave home.

× For example, I often write things down in a notebook or on my phone, and I sometimes repeat important information out loud several times.

✓ For example, I often write things down in a notebook or on my phone, and sometimes I repeat important information out loud several times.

Original is grammatically acceptable, but moving 'sometimes' improves flow. Not an error but a stylistic suggestion.

× If it's something I really can't afford to forget, I'll set reminders or stick notes in places where I can easily see them.

✓ If it's something I really can't afford to forget, I'll set reminders or stick notes in places where I can easily see them.
