记忆— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Be more concise and complete your final thought. Start with a clear topic sentence, give one or two specific supporting details, link them with a connective, and avoid filler sounds (umm). Also finish the last sentence so the examiner clearly understands your point.

範例: I’m fairly good at memorising visual information. For example, I easily remember people’s faces because I focus on visual cues like hairstyle and clothing. However, I find it harder to memorise abstract facts, so I rely on notes and repetition to remember them.

建議: Give a direct answer and support it with a short reason and a brief example. Use linking words (because, so) correctly and avoid vague phrases like “not really” and unnecessary fillers.

範例: No, I rarely forget important things because I always record them in my calendar and set alarms. For instance, I set multiple alarms for important meetings so I won’t miss them. Therefore, when I do forget something, it’s usually a trivial task like a small household chore.

建議: Start with a clear topic sentence then list two specific items with brief details. Use linking words (for example, and) and avoid repeating filler words. Make sure your sentences are grammatically correct and concise.

範例: In my daily life I need to remember scheduled events and personal routines. For example, I always remember meetings and appointments by checking my calendar, and I follow an evening routine—meditation and writing a gratitude journal—that helps me relax before sleep.

建議: Provide a clear topic sentence and briefly explain how each tool helps you, using linking words. Remove filler words and improve sentence cohesion by using verbs in correct forms (e.g., what remains).

範例: I rely on digital tools and a checklist to remember important tasks. For example, I use Google Calendar to schedule events and share project deadlines, set iPhone alarms for urgent meetings, and review a daily checklist each evening to see what remains to be done.

× I think I'm very good at memorizing umm, people's faces, umm, because I pay much attention to visual cues.

✓ I think I'm very good at memorizing, um, people's faces, because I pay a lot of attention to visual cues.

Use of gerund 'memorizing' is correct but 'pay much attention' is non-idiomatic in this context; native speakers say 'pay a lot of attention' or 'pay much attention' with negative contexts. Also removed redundant fillers and adjusted commas for clarity. Suggestion: use 'pay a lot of attention to' for positive statements.

× However, I'm not that good at umm, remembering facts and factual data. Umm, because I feel like I can also.

✓ However, I'm not that good at remembering facts and factual data because I feel like I can't.

Original ended with 'I can also' which is incomplete and contradicts previous clause. The speaker intends inability, so use past/modal structure 'can't' (present inability). Also remove sentence fragment 'Umm, because' by joining clauses.

× Not really. I mean, if it is very important I will try my best to record it on my calendar or set up alarms to remind me.

✓ Not really. I mean, if it is very important, I try my best to record it on my calendar or set alarms to remind myself.

Mixing conditional with future 'will' is unnecessary for general habits; use present simple 'I try'. Also 'set up alarms to remind me' is better as 'set alarms to remind myself' for reflexive clarity.

× Umm, so if I forgot things then that means that might be some trivial things that's not really matter.

✓ So if I forget things, it usually means they are trivial and don't really matter.

Tense mismatch ('forgot' vs present habit), subject-verb agreement ('things that's' incorrect), and quantifier/structure use. Correct to present simple for habitual action, use plural pronoun 'they' and plural verb 'are', and 'don't really matter' for negative.

× Well, in my daily life, I definitely need to remember important, uh, meetings, appointments, umm, Additionally, I also have to remember my evening routine, which are very important for me.

✓ Well, in my daily life I definitely need to remember important meetings and appointments. Additionally, I also have to remember my evening routine, which is very important to me.

Remove unnecessary commas, use 'is' not 'are' for 'routine' (singular), and use preposition 'to me' (important to me). Split into two sentences for clarity.

× I need to do meditation before I sleep and I also write uh, gratitude journal before I sleep.

✓ I need to meditate before I sleep, and I also write a gratitude journal before I sleep.

Use verb 'meditate' instead of 'do meditation' for naturalness; 'gratitude journal' needs an article 'a' and word order corrected. Repetition 'before I sleep' can remain or be varied for style.

× I use Google Calendar to, uh, track projects and schedule important events, umm.

✓ I use Google Calendar to track projects and schedule important events.

No need for commas or fillers. The structure is active and correct; removed extraneous hesitation markers. Not a passive voice error per se but cleaned for fluency.

× I also use iPhone alarms umm, for very important umm, meetings.

✓ I also use my iPhone alarms for very important meetings.

Add possessive 'my' before 'iPhone' and remove fillers. Articles/possessives are required for specificity.

× At the end of the day, I have a checklist to see what's remained to be done.

✓ At the end of the day, I have a checklist to see what remains to be done.

Use present simple 'remains' for current outstanding tasks; 'what's remained' is incorrect passive/participial usage. Correct structure: 'what remains to be done'.
