Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and avoid repeating “pretty good” and “memorize.” Use a clearer contrast with “although” or “however,” and give one specific example to support your answer. Also, say “I forget them after a while” rather than “forget them in a while.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I’m fairly good at memorising information, especially when I review it several times. However, I tend to forget it after a while if I don’t use it regularly. For example, I can remember vocabulary well before a test, but I may forget some of it a few months later.

Gợi ý: Give a direct answer at the beginning instead of starting with a general statement. Use a specific time reference, such as “a few months ago,” rather than the unclear “the other day.” The phrase “I felt so impressive” is incorrect here; say “I felt terrible,” “I was shocked,” or “I felt embarrassed.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I once forgot that I had an important exam. It happened a few months ago because I had been busy with several assignments. When I realised it, I felt extremely worried and embarrassed, so I had to contact my teacher immediately.

Gợi ý: The answer is relevant, but it repeats “have to” and “complete” several times. Use a clear list with linking words, and provide a specific example of how you manage these responsibilities. Replace “the various things” with more precise vocabulary.

Ví dụ: Every day, I need to remember my household chores, assignments, and upcoming tests. I also have to keep track of deadlines, so I usually check my planner in the morning. This helps me organise my time and avoid leaving important tasks until the last minute.

Gợi ý: Explain your method more naturally and avoid repeating “important” and “usually.” Add a practical strategy, such as writing reminders or setting alarms, and finish with a clear concluding sentence instead of “so yeah.”

Ví dụ: I usually write important information in my phone and set reminders for deadlines. For smaller things, I repeat them to myself a few times, which helps me remember them. This is especially useful when I have several assignments or appointments to deal with.

× Yes, I'm pretty good at memorizing things but I usually forget them in a while so my memory does not last so long but I'm pretty good when I have to memorize them.

✓ Yes, I'm pretty good at memorizing things, but I usually forget them after a while, so my memory does not last very long. However, I'm good at memorizing things when I need to.

The preposition in a while is incorrect for this meaning. Use after a while to mean some time later. The response also contains several joined clauses, so separating them makes the meaning clearer.

× I would say that I usually try to remember all of the important details or anything that I need to remember. However, I think I once forgot that I had an exam the other day and I just felt so impressive.

✓ I would say that I usually try to remember all the important details and everything that I need to remember. However, I think I once forgot that I had an exam the other day, and I felt so embarrassed.

Impressive describes something that causes admiration, whereas impressed describes how a person feels. In this context, embarrassed is more appropriate because forgetting an important exam would usually make someone feel embarrassed.

× In my daily life I have to remember that I have to complete the chores and the various things that I need to complete on a daily basis like my assignments and to prepare for all my school tests.

✓ In my daily life, I have to remember to complete my chores and various tasks, such as completing my assignments and preparing for all my school tests.

The original sentence has an unclear and unbalanced structure. The items after such as should have parallel forms: completing and preparing. Using remember to complete also makes the sentence more concise and grammatically organized.

× I remember important things by just saying in my mind that it is important and this usually works for me because when I feel that this thing is important it usually stays in my mind so yeah.

✓ I remember important things by telling myself that they are important. This usually works for me because, when I feel that something is important, it stays in my mind.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to important things, which is plural. Use they are when referring to things in general. If referring to one unspecified item, use something instead of this thing.
