Hi Nurul, sorry for the delayed response.
ご存じ 「ご・ぞん・じ」is the 敬語 「けい・ご」 (respectful form) of 知っています 「し・っています」 (to know). It has the same meaning, but is used when you are talking about the action of someone else to who you are showing respect to, ie a superior at work, or your Japanese teacher.
So, as an example, if you wanted to ask your superior at work, (Do you know Mr Smith?), instead of saying
スミスさんを知っていますか?
You can say
スミスさんをご存じですか?
which shows respect to your superior.
Note, you would never use ご存じ about your own actions, ie
私はスミスさんをご存じですx
would be incorrrect
Hope that helps!
