Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be more concise and direct, start with a clear topic sentence, then give one specific supporting example using linking words. Avoid repetition and minor grammar errors (use present tense consistently and correct verb forms).

Ví dụ: Yes, I'm quite good at memorising things. For example, when I share stories with my family, I often recall specific dates and details that others forget, which helps keep our conversations accurate. Because I practise telling these stories regularly, my memory for personal events has improved.

Gợi ý: Answer directly and give a clear past example if possible. Explain the strategy you use in one or two linked sentences, and correct vague phrasing (e.g., 'skip that' is unclear).

Ví dụ: I rarely forget important things. If something matters, I make reminders on my phone and take photos or videos as evidence, so I can check them later; for instance, I once photographed a receipt to avoid losing it.

Gợi ý: Be specific about daily items you must remember and organise your answer. Fix unclear sentences and use linking words to connect ideas. Limit to 2–3 short sentences with concrete examples.

Ví dụ: In daily life I need to remember appointments, bills and grocery items. For example, I use a phone calendar for appointments and take photos of meals when I try new recipes so I can remember ingredients later.

Gợi ý: Start with a clear topic sentence stating your main method, then briefly explain why it works and give a short example. Remove filler words (uh, I think) and correct small grammar issues (e.g., 'take photos of something important').

Ví dụ: I usually take photos of important items or documents to remember them. This is effective because I can quickly review the images on my phone and share them with others if needed; for example, I photographed a warranty card so I could find it when repairs were required.

× I think I'm good at memorizing things because every time I talked about the past with my friends or my family, I always come up with something that everyone around me cannot come up with, so I think I remember well.

✓ I think I'm good at memorizing things because whenever I talk about the past with my friends or my family, I always come up with something that others cannot, so I think I remember well.

Error type: present vs past inconsistency. The sentence mixes past tense 'talked' with present habitual meaning. Use present simple 'talk' (or 'whenever I talk') to express habitual actions. Also simplify 'everyone around me cannot come up with' to 'others cannot' for clarity.

× I don't think I have forgotten something important because if it's very important I always try not to forget and skip that. So by using like photos or video.

✓ I don't think I have forgotten anything important because if something is very important I always try not to forget it, for example by using photos or videos.

Error: incorrect modal/structure and fragments. 'Skip that' is incorrect here; use 'try not to forget it'. Also 'So by using like photos or video' is a fragment; combine into the sentence and use plural 'videos' and 'anything' after negative.

× In my daily life I don't think this need to remember something a lot, but every time I have mail I eat something. I always take photo so that I could recall what I ate.

✓ In my daily life I don't think I need to remember many things, but whenever I receive a meal I eat it. I always take photos so that I can recall what I ate.

Errors: incorrect pronoun and noun forms and awkward clauses. 'This need to remember something a lot' is ungrammatical—use 'I need to remember many things'. 'Have mail I eat something' likely intended 'receive a meal' or 'have a meal'. Use plural 'photos' and modal 'can' for ability in present. 'Could' implies conditional/past.

× As I mentioned before, I always try to take photos something important because it's, I think it's the easiest way to, uh, recall because we all have mobile phones, so we could also share to other person.

✓ As I mentioned before, I always try to take photos of important things because I think it's the easiest way to recall them; we all have mobile phones, so we can also share them with other people.

Error: missing preposition and incorrect verb forms. Use 'take photos of' (preposition). 'Recall because we all have' is repetitive; simplify. Use present modal 'can' not 'could' for ability. Change 'other person' to plural 'other people' and ensure pronoun agreement 'share them'.
