Memory— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Be concise and grammatically accurate. Start with a clear topic sentence that directly answers the question, then give one or two brief supporting details using correct verb forms and linking words. Avoid slangy expressions like “3 seconds memories” and fix tense and article errors (e.g., “used to be good” not “used to good”).

Ví dụ: Not really. I used to be good at memorising, but recently my memory has gotten worse. For example, I often hold a pen and immediately forget why I picked it up.

Gợi ý: Provide a clear, past-tense account with specific details and a logical link between clauses. Use correct time expressions (“the other day”), past simple verbs, and explain the outcome briefly. Avoid incomplete sentences and unclear wording like “keep reminding my son to grab.”

Ví dụ: Yes, that happened the other day. I planned to drop my son at the nanny’s house, but I was very busy in the morning and forgot to take him there. As a result, I had to make an extra trip later to drop him off.

Gợi ý: Start with a direct topic sentence, then give two specific, well-linked examples. Use accurate vocabulary (e.g., “patient’s baseline” → “baseline vitals” or “medical history”) and correct prepositions. Avoid trailing off with “So.”

Ví dụ: As a nurse, I need to remember each patient’s condition and baseline vital signs. I also have to recall their medical history and the potential side effects of drugs before they go into the operating room.

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then explain your method with clear linking words and correct grammar. Use phrases like “I rely on” or “I use” and correct gerund/infinitive forms (e.g., “try to memorise” vs “try memorising”). Be specific about tools and routines.

Ví dụ: It’s difficult for me, so I rely on notes. I make reminders on my phone and write tasks on paper, which helps me remember what I need to do today and tomorrow.

× Not really, I used to good at memorizing but now I only have 3 seconds memories.

✓ Not really. I used to be good at memorizing, but now I only have a three-second memory.

Incorrect verb structure and noun form: 'used to good' requires 'used to be good' (linking verb 'be' needed). '3 seconds memories' is wrong because 'memory' is singular and expressed as an adjective-noun phrase 'three-second memory'. Use numerals spelled out in words for clarity and hyphenate compound adjectives before a noun.

× I can one second I holding a pen but next moment I would totally forgot why I holding the pen.

✓ For one second I can hold a pen, but the next moment I would totally forget why I was holding the pen.

Multiple errors: tense and verb forms. 'I holding' must be 'I hold' or 'I was holding' depending on timeframe; here contrast of a momentary ability vs past reaction fits 'For one second I can hold' and 'I would totally forget why I was holding the pen.' 'Forgot' is past; after 'would' use base verb 'forget'. Use articles 'the pen' to specify.

× Yes, just happened in the other day.

✓ Yes, it just happened the other day.

Missing subject 'it' for a cleft/clausal expression and incorrect article order: 'the other day' is the fixed phrase meaning 'recently'. 'Just happened' needs 'it' as the subject: 'it just happened'.

× That was the day I planned to drop my son to the nanny's and I was busy in the morning and keep reminding my son to grab.

✓ That was the day I planned to drop my son off at the nanny's, and I was busy in the morning and kept reminding my son to grab his things.

Prepositions: 'drop someone to' is incorrect; use 'drop off at'. Tense consistency: 'keep reminding' should be past 'kept reminding'. Also clarify 'grab' what — add 'his things' for completeness. 'Nanny's' as possessive is acceptable to mean the nanny's place.

× For example, since I am a nurse, I have to memorize the patient's condition, their baseline and when into the operation room I have to remember what their condition and the side effect of the drugs. So.

✓ For example, since I am a nurse, I have to memorize patients' conditions, their baselines, and when they go into the operating room I have to remember their condition and the side effects of the drugs.

Pronoun and noun number agreement: use plural 'patients' and 'conditions' if referring generally; 'patients'' is possessive plural. 'Their baseline' should be 'their baselines' or rephrase. 'When into the operation room' is ungrammatical; use 'when they go into the operating room'. 'Side effect' should be plural 'side effects' when speaking generally.

× That is a hard task for me, but I will try to memorizing everything on my hand notes.

✓ That is a hard task for me, but I will try to memorize everything on my hand notes.

After 'try to' use the base form 'memorize', not the gerund 'memorizing'. 'On my hand notes' is awkward; consider 'in my handwritten notes' or 'on my notes'.

× So I make a note on my phone or my paper to remind me what should I do today and the next.

✓ So I make a note on my phone or on paper to remind myself what I should do today and tomorrow.

Pronoun and reflexive use: use 'remind myself' rather than 'remind me'. Word order in indirect questions: 'what I should do' not 'what should I do'. 'The next' is vague; use 'tomorrow'. Use parallel prepositions 'on my phone or on paper' or simply 'on my phone or on paper'.
