Ví dụ: Not really — I have a poor memory for long labels and small details, so I always take notes. For example, I write short bullet points in my notebook or on my phone right after a lecture, which helps me recall key facts later.
Have you ever forgotten something important?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 回答清晰且有合理解释,但可以加入一次具体发生的例子或结果来增强说服力,同时用连接词衔接原因与结果。避免简单重复“important”。

× I always need to take notes to remember things clearly.
✓ I always need to take notes to remember things.
句子中“to remember things clearly”虽然语法上可接受,但“remember things clearly”在此上下文中冗余。更自然的表达是直接说“remember things”(记住事情)。此外,英语中常用“take notes to remember things”来说明记笔记是为了记住,而不是强调“清楚地”记住。建议去掉“clearly”,使表达更简洁自然。
× I try to remember important things and I just write them down on my phone.
✓ I try to remember important things and I just write them down in my phone.
在英语中,信息存储在手机内部时通常用介词“in”而不是“on”。“write down on my phone”虽能被理解,但更地道的搭配是“write them down in my phone”或更常用的“write them down on my phone app”/“on my phone notes”。此处使用“in”更符合“写入设备内部存储”的概念。建议使用“in my phone”或改为更具体的表达如“in my phone’s notes app”。
× I mainly need to remember my class schedule.
✓ I mainly need to remember my class schedules.
如果学生有多门课或每天不同的课程安排,通常使用复数“class schedules”。原句使用单数“class schedule”并非绝对错误,但在描述“我主要需要记住我的课程安排(不同时间的多项安排)”时,复数更符合常见语境。建议根据上下文决定单复数:若指固定的一份总表用单数,若指多天或多门课的安排用复数。
× My university is very strict and we are not allowed to skip classes without a good reason.
✓ My university is very strict and students are not allowed to skip classes without a good reason.
原句中主语从“My university”切换到“we”,语义上从第三人称切换到第一人称,语法上可接受但在正式表达中更清晰的做法是保持第三人称或明确指代对象。将“we”改为“students”使句子主语一致且更正式。建议保持代词一致或明确指代群体。
× I mostly rely on my phone. I set reminders for my assignments and exams so I can finish everything on time.
✓ I mostly rely on my phone. I set reminders for my assignments and exams so that I can finish everything on time.
在复合句中,使用“so that”可以更明确地表达目的关系。原句“so I can finish”在口语中常用且可接受,但若按正式书面语或更清晰的因果/目的连接,建议使用“so that”。此改动属于连词和目的表达的改进,能使语义更明确。
