Part 1
考官
Are you good at memorising things?
考生
That's an interesting question, actually. I think I'm not so good at memorizing information. To support me with that, I write key information in a notebook whenever I study or each time I go on work meetings. This way I get to remember things better.
考官
Have you ever forgotten something important?
考生
Of course I did. One of the experiences that I could recall in relation to this question is when I forgot my home keys one day when I went outside in a mall and when I came back home I am rounding my bag trying to find keys until I realized that I forgot about it.
考官
What do you need to remember in your daily life?
考生
What's most important for me to remember is my daily routine. First is I should remember my tasks at work, and to help me with that, I write down notes in my calendar to keep track of what needs to be done. That's the most important thing I need to remember for the day.
考官
How do you remember important things?
考生
I remember important matters by writing down notes. Usually I would open my notes app in my phone and write down a grocery list. For example the items that you need to buy for the day or my To Do List. This way I get to remember better and actually do my routine.

× I think I'm not so good at memorizing information.
✓ I don't think I'm very good at memorizing information.
The original uses a present continuous 'I'm not so good' which is acceptable but awkward; more natural is simple present negative 'I don't think I'm very good' to state a general ability. Use 'very' instead of 'so' for formality and clarity.
× To support me with that, I write key information in a notebook whenever I study or each time I go on work meetings.
✓ To help me with that, I write key information in a notebook whenever I study or whenever I attend work meetings.
Use 'help me' not 'support me with' for this context; 'on work meetings' is incorrect preposition and collocation. Use 'attend work meetings' or 'go to meetings'. Also make the repeated time phrase parallel: 'whenever I study or whenever I attend'.
× Of course I did.
✓ Of course I have.
The question 'Have you ever forgotten...' asks about experience up to now; use present perfect 'I have' rather than simple past 'I did' to indicate life experience.
× One of the experiences that I could recall in relation to this question is when I forgot my home keys one day when I went outside in a mall and when I came back home I am rounding my bag trying to find keys until I realized that I forgot about it.
✓ One experience I can recall is when I forgot my house keys after I went to a mall; when I came back home I rummaged through my bag trying to find them until I realized I had left them behind.
The original sentence is long and ungrammatical: tense inconsistency ('could recall' vs present), wrong verb forms ('rounding' should be 'rummaging'), pronoun and article errors ('my home keys' -> 'my house keys' and 'them' for plural), and incorrect past-perfect needed ('had left'). Breaking into clauses and using correct past and past perfect improves clarity.
× What's most important for me to remember is my daily routine.
✓ The most important thing for me to remember is my daily routine.
'What's most important for me' is conversational but slightly informal; phrasing 'The most important thing for me to remember' is clearer and maintains present-tense general statement.
× First is I should remember my tasks at work, and to help me with that, I write down notes in my calendar to keep track of what needs to be done.
✓ First, I should remember my tasks at work, and to help me with that I write notes in my calendar to keep track of what needs to be done.
Improve word order: begin with 'First,' and use 'write notes' rather than 'write down notes' (redundant). Remove unnecessary comma before 'I write' for smoother flow.
× I remember important matters by writing down notes.
✓ I remember important matters by writing notes down.
'Writing down notes' is not wrong but 'writing notes down' or simply 'writing notes' is more natural. Keep the gerund 'writing' to express the method.
× Usually I would open my notes app in my phone and write down a grocery list.
✓ Usually I open the notes app on my phone and write a grocery list.
Use simple present 'I open' for habitual actions rather than 'would open' in this context. Use preposition 'on my phone' not 'in my phone'. 'Write a grocery list' is preferable to 'write down a grocery list' though both are acceptable.
× For example the items that you need to buy for the day or my To Do List.
✓ For example, the items I need to buy for the day or my to-do list.
Maintain consistent pronoun perspective: the student should refer to themselves 'I need' not 'you need'. Also add comma after 'For example' and use hyphens in 'to-do list' as a noun.
× This way I get to remember better and actually do my routine.
✓ This way I remember better and can actually follow my routine.
Use simple present 'I remember' for habitual result. 'Get to remember' is awkward; 'remember better' is clearer. Replace 'do my routine' with 'follow my routine' for natural collocation.
