Part 1
考官
Do you make a list when you shop?
考生
Yes, I do. When I go shopping without a list, I often forget to buy what I was supposed to buy. Therefore, especially when I have specific things to buy, I tried to create a list.
考官
Do you make a list for your work? Does it work?
考生
Yes, I do. Every day before I start working, I tried to make a list of what I should do on that day. The list is very helpful. Firstly, when I'm making the list, I can remember and recognize what I should do. Secondly, by checking of what I'm down in the list, it becomes easy to control the time management.
考官
Why don't some people like making lists?
考生
I guess it is hustle for them and they are confident in that they can remember everything they need to buy. On top of that, some people may prefer shopping spontaneously or impulse shopping.
考官
Do you prefer to make a list on paper or your phone?
考生
These days, I prefer to make it on my phone. Since the phone is an essential item for me, I always go around with it. So it is hard for me to forget to take the list for shopping or work. In addition, even when I can't complete the tasks on the list, we can keep the list for the next day onwards.

× Therefore, especially when I have specific things to buy, I tried to create a list.
✓ Therefore, especially when I have specific things to buy, I try to create a list.
The sentence is describing a habitual action in the present, so the past tense 'tried' is incorrect. It should be in the present tense 'try' to match the context.
× Every day before I start working, I tried to make a list of what I should do on that day.
✓ Every day before I start working, I try to make a list of what I should do on that day.
The phrase 'Every day' indicates a habitual action, so the verb should be in the present tense 'try' instead of the past tense 'tried'.
× Secondly, by checking of what I'm down in the list, it becomes easy to control the time management.
✓ Secondly, by checking off what I've done in the list, it becomes easy to control time management.
The phrase 'checking of' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'checking off'. Also, 'I'm down' is incorrect; it should be 'I've done' to indicate completed tasks. Additionally, 'the time management' should be 'time management' without 'the'.
