× No, I think I'm not good at memorizing things, so I try to write something I need when I have to memorize something like study subject or and so forth.
✓ No, I think I'm not good at memorizing things, so I try to write down what I need to remember, such as study subjects and so forth.
Multiple issues: incorrect verb formation and word choice. 'Write something I need' is unclear; better 'write down what I need to remember'. 'Memorize something like study subject' is awkward; use 'such as study subjects'. Use plural 'subjects' to match general reference (Singular and plural issue, ID 1). Also use 'write down' (Verb + -ing/form correction, ID 8).
× So I thought make something efforts.
✓ So I try to make an effort.
Incorrect sentence structure and word choice. 'Thought make something efforts' is ungrammatical; correct is 'I try to make an effort' or 'I try to make efforts'. Use singular 'an effort' is more natural. This is a sentence structure error (ID 26) and singular/plural issue (ID 1).
× Yes, I have forgotten something important.
✓ Yes, I have forgotten something important.
Sentence is grammatically acceptable for the present perfect describing a past event with present relevance; no correction needed.
× Last week I forgot to meet with my friends on Friday evening to eat dinner.
✓ Last week I forgot to meet my friends on Friday evening for dinner.
Minor wording improvement: 'forgot to meet with my friends' is acceptable but 'forgot to meet my friends' is more natural. 'To eat dinner' -> 'for dinner'. This is a preposition and word choice issue (ID 11).
× So first I apologize to my friends and go to dinner.
✓ So first I apologized to my friends and then went to dinner.
Tense inconsistency: The speaker is describing a past event 'Last week', so verbs should be in past tense. 'I apologize' and 'go' should be 'I apologized' and 'went'. This is a past tense issue (ID 5).
× In my daily life, I have to remember the schedule at university or my daily life for instance.
✓ In my daily life, I have to remember my university schedule and my daily routines, for instance.
Redundant and awkward phrasing 'the schedule at university or my daily life'. Use 'my university schedule' and 'daily routines'. This is sentence structure error (ID 26) and incorrect use of prepositions (ID 11).
× Now I have to memorize the.
✓ Now I have to memorize things.
Sentence is incomplete and missing an object after 'the'. This is a sentence without a verb/object or sentence structure error (ID 23 and 26). Replacing with 'things' completes it. Note tense is present, which fits 'Now'.
× Something I need to buy and so forth.
✓ For example, items I need to buy, and so forth.
Fragment lacking a full clause; make it a noun phrase connected to prior sentence or form a full sentence like 'For example, items I need to buy.' This is sentence structure error (ID 26) and article/quantifier choice (ID 14).
× I remember important things through writing it on paper or notebook.
✓ I remember important things by writing them on paper or in a notebook.
Pronoun agreement and preposition errors: 'writing it' should be 'writing them' to agree with 'things' (Incorrect use of pronouns, ID 12). Use 'by' to express method (Modal/structure, ID 4 not required) and 'in a notebook' rather than 'on notebook' (preposition error, ID 11).
× By doing so, I can remember all important things such as my schedule, meeting with my friends, and so forth.
✓ By doing so, I can remember all important things, such as my schedule and meetings with my friends.
Parallel structure and article/number agreement: 'meeting with my friends' should be plural 'meetings' to match 'all important things'. Remove redundant 'and so forth' when examples are given, or keep but after comma. This is incorrect use of adjectives/nouns and sentence structure (ID 13 and 26).
