Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more natural and concise. Start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar (use 'memorize' or 'memorising'), avoid redundancy, and limit to maximum five sentences. Use linking words for clarity and give a specific recent example rather than vague childhood statements.

Ví dụ: No, I'm not very good at memorising things. For example, when I was at school I often needed more time than classmates to memorise passages, so I failed to learn poems quickly. However, I have improved by using flashcards and short daily review sessions, which help me remember vocabulary more reliably.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, correct unclear phrasing ('had to raise it' is unclear), and include a brief consequence and solution with linking words. Keep it within five sentences and use specific time references to make it credible.

Ví dụ: Yes, once in my first year of university I forgot the time of a major exam and missed it, which was embarrassing. As a result, I had to retake the exam a few weeks later. Since then, I set multiple alarms and write events in my calendar, which has prevented similar problems.

Gợi ý: Be specific and natural: use 'note' or 'notebook' instead of 'memorandum', and avoid vague statements like 'they are too much'. Use a topic sentence and link examples with reasons or methods you use to remember them.

Ví dụ: I need to remember several things daily, such as my phone password, appointment times and new English words. Because that's a lot, I usually write them in a small notebook or use the notes app on my phone so I can check them quickly.

Gợi ý: Use clearer wording and variety of strategies instead of only 'repeating'. Correct grammar ('reputation' is wrong) and use appropriate tense ('if I have an important meeting'). Mention additional practical methods (alarms, lists, associations) and link them logically.

Ví dụ: I often repeat important information in my head, but I also use practical tools. For instance, I set calendar reminders, write tasks in a checklist and create simple associations (like linking a meeting with a location) so I don't rely solely on memory.

× It's difficult for me to memory things.

✓ It's difficult for me to memorize things.

The verb 'memory' is a noun; after 'to' an infinitive verb form is expected. Use the correct verb 'memorize' (or 'memorise') in infinitive form 'to memorize' to express the action. Suggestion: learn common verb-noun pairs and use the infinitive after 'to'.

× For example, when I was a child it took me more time than other students to recite some articles or passages.

✓ For example, when I was a child it took me more time than other students to recite some articles or passages.

The sentence is grammatically acceptable in past tense; no correction needed. (Included here to acknowledge tense is correct.)

× Even though I feel quite hard to recite a memory some English words, which is really bad news.

✓ Even though I find it hard to memorize some English words, which is really bad.

The original uses 'feel quite hard' which is incorrect collocation; use 'find it hard' or 'have difficulty' to describe a difficulty. 'To recite a memory some English words' is ungrammatical: 'memorize some English words' expresses the intended meaning. Also 'which is really bad news' is awkward here; 'which is really bad' is more natural. Suggestion: use 'find it hard to + verb' and 'memorize' for learning words.

× In the first year of my university I forgot the time of an important exam.

✓ In my first year at university I forgot the time of an important exam.

The original is understandable but 'in the first year of my university' is non-idiomatic. Use 'in my first year at university' for natural past-time expression. Tense 'forgot' is correct.

× As a result, I missed it and had to raise it, which is quite embarrassing.

✓ As a result, I missed it and had to reschedule it, which was quite embarrassing.

The phrase 'had to raise it' is incorrect; likely intended 'reschedule it'. Also 'which is quite embarrassing' should match past context: use 'which was quite embarrassing.' Suggestion: choose appropriate verbs (reschedule) and match clause tense to main clause.

× After that, I started setting alarms to remind me of important events, which is very helpful.

✓ After that, I started setting alarms to remind me of important events, which was very helpful.

Main action is in past ('started'), so the relative clause should also be past: 'which was very helpful.' Alternatively, keep present if stating a general ongoing effect: 'which is very helpful.' Ensure tense consistency.

× There are many things I need to remember, like the password on my phone, the times of important events and new English vocabulary.

✓ There are many things I need to remember, like the password for my phone, the times of important events, and new English vocabulary.

List is fine but 'password on my phone' is better as 'password for my phone.' Added Oxford comma for clarity. No plural/singular conflict; suggestion: use preposition 'for' with 'password.'

× I think they are too much.

✓ I think that's too much.

'Too much' describes an uncountable amount; 'they' refers to plural items, so use 'those' or change structure. More natural: 'I think that's too much' or 'I think there are too many.' Suggestion: match pronoun number to noun: for plural use 'they are too many' (but better: 'there are too many').

× In case I forgot them, I usually take them in the memorandum.

✓ If I forget them, I usually write them in a notebook.

'In case I forgot them' mixes conditional with past; use present 'If I forget them' for habitual action. 'Take them in the memorandum' is awkward and non-idiomatic; use 'write them in a notebook' or 'note them down.' Suggestion: use present tense for habitual conditions and common collocations like 'note down' or 'write in a notebook.'

× I usually repeat them in my head over and over again because I'm not good at memorizing things so all I can do is reputation.

✓ I usually repeat them in my head over and over again because I'm not good at memorizing things, so all I can do is repeat them.

'Reputation' is the wrong word (it means public image); the verb needed is 'repeat.' Also comma before 'so' to join clauses. The structure 'all I can do is repeat them' is correct. Suggestion: learn commonly confused words and maintain parallel structure.

× For example, if I had an important meeting next week, I would repeat it in my head every day.

✓ For example, if I have an important meeting next week, I will repeat it in my head every day.

The original mixes conditional forms incorrectly. For a real future possibility, use first conditional: 'If I have ... next week, I will ...'. The original used second conditional ('if I had ... I would') which implies an unreal present; but because meeting next week is possible, use first conditional. Suggestion: choose conditional form based on likelihood: first conditional for real future events.
