Name— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Answer the question directly in the present tense: “No, it isn’t very easy for me.” Then give one clear reason and a specific example. Correct the plural possessive “people’s names,” use “slips my mind” rather than “slips off my mind,” and avoid addressing the examiner as “your name.” Keep the answer to two or three well-connected sentences.

Example: No, it isn’t very easy for me to remember people’s names, especially when I meet several new people at once. I usually forget a name if it is difficult to pronounce, but I remember it more easily after hearing it a few times.

Suggestion: Use a clear structure by stating your main method first, followed by an alternative method. Replace “ask themselves” with “ask them,” and say “in the corridors” or “around school” instead of “by the corridors of the classes.” Avoid repetition such as “directly” and “know themselves,” and use the present tense consistently.

Example: I usually remember people’s names by seeing them regularly in the corridors or in class. If I forget someone’s name, I simply ask them politely because it is better than guessing. Repeating the name in conversation also helps me remember it.

Suggestion: Your opinion is clear and you provide a contrast, but “hot girl” sounds unnatural and unnecessarily informal in this context. Explain that you are not offended, while acknowledging that remembering someone’s name shows respect. Replace “in the school” with “at school” and avoid repeating “that much.”

Example: To be honest, I wouldn’t be too upset because I’m not a famous person, so it wouldn’t affect me very much. However, I would still prefer people to remember my name because it makes me feel respected and valued.

Suggestion: Give a direct answer first, such as “Yes, especially at the beginning of a semester.” Use the present tense for habits: “I usually forget,” not “I usually forgot.” Replace “all the people named” with “most people’s names,” and use “as the semester progresses” instead of the incorrect phrase “as throughout the semester.” Add a specific reason, such as meeting many new classmates at once.

Example: Yes, I often forget people’s names at the beginning of a semester because I meet many new classmates at once. However, as the semester progresses and I see them regularly, I gradually remember their names more easily.

× Honestly, it was never an easy thing to remember people's name, especially when you meet a bunch of new people at once.

✓ Honestly, it was never an easy thing to remember people's names, especially when you meet a bunch of new people at once.

The noun name refers to the names of multiple people, so it should be plural: names. Use a plural noun when the meaning refers to more than one person or thing.

× Honestly, it was never an easy thing to remember people's names, especially when you meet a bunch of new people at once.

✓ Honestly, it has never been easy for me to remember people's names, especially when I meet a bunch of new people at once.

The statement describes a general experience that continues up to the present, so the present perfect has never been is more suitable than the simple past was never. Also, use I to keep the subject consistent with the speaker.

× I tend to forget their name and it slips off my mind in the seconds.

✓ I tend to forget their names, and they slip from my mind within seconds.

Their refers to multiple people's names, so name should be names. The pronoun they must also agree with the plural noun names. Within seconds is the natural expression for a short period of time.

× because especially it was very hard to pronounce your name.

✓ especially because some people's names are very hard to pronounce.

Your refers directly to the examiner and does not match the general meaning. Use some people's names when discussing names in general rather than one specific person's name.

× It depends sometimes naturally just by every day seeing them by the corridors of the classes and sometimes I just ask themselves directly because it was easier for me to know themselves directly.

✓ It depends. Sometimes I remember their names naturally by seeing them every day in the corridors and classrooms, and sometimes I ask them directly because it is easier for me to get to know them that way.

The original sentence contains several ideas joined together without a clear structure. Use It depends as a complete introductory sentence, then organize the two methods with sometimes ... and sometimes .... The phrase get to know them is more natural than know themselves in this context.

× by the corridors of the classes

✓ in the corridors and classrooms

Use in for a person or activity located inside a place. By usually means near or beside something, so it is not the appropriate preposition for this meaning.

× sometimes I just ask themselves directly because it was easier for me to know themselves directly.

✓ sometimes I just ask them directly because it is easier for me to get to know them that way.

The pronoun themselves is reflexive and must refer back to the subject of the same clause. Here, the people receive the action, so use the object pronoun them instead.

× sometimes I just ask them directly because it was easier for me to get to know them that way.

✓ sometimes I just ask them directly because it is easier for me to get to know them that way.

The speaker is describing a usual method in the present, so use the present tense is rather than the past tense was.

× When it's in the beginning of the semester, I usually forgot all the names.

✓ At the beginning of the semester, I usually forget all the names.

Use at the beginning, not in the beginning, for a specific point or period that starts something. At the beginning of the semester is the standard expression.

× When it's in the beginning of the semester, I usually forgot all the names, all the people named because it was new and some people I never met before.

✓ At the beginning of the semester, I usually forget all the names because everything is new, and I have never met some of the people before.

The sentence describes a repeated experience, so use the present tense forget rather than the past tense forgot. The present perfect have never met is appropriate for experiences up to the present. The phrase all the people named is not grammatically appropriate; use some of the people instead.

× When it's in the beginning of the semester, I usually forgot all the names, all the people named because it was new and some people I never met before and it's shifted over time, but as throughout the semester, I easily remember the name.

✓ At the beginning of the semester, I usually forget people's names because everything is new, and I have never met some of the people before. However, my ability to remember their names improves over time, so I can remember them more easily as the semester progresses.

The original sentence joins too many clauses with and and contains incomplete or unclear phrases. Divide the ideas into separate sentences and use clear connectors such as because, however, and so. This makes the sequence of events and the contrast easier to understand.

× but as throughout the semester, I easily remember the name.

✓ but as the semester progresses, I can remember people's names more easily.

The meaning is general and refers to multiple people, so name should be names. The phrase as the semester progresses is also the correct form for describing gradual change over time.
