Part 1

Is it easy for you to remember people's names?

Score: 75.0

Suggestion: Answer directly and make the plural possessive accurate: use “people’s names.” The phrase “people I meet through mutual connections” is more natural and concise than “people who I only meet through mutual connections.” You could add a brief reason or example.

Example: Not always. I sometimes forget people’s names, especially when I meet them through mutual friends and only see them once or twice.

How do you remember people's names?

Score: 68.0

Suggestion: Use the adverb “naturally” rather than “natural,” and make the verb agree with the subject: “I remember,” not “I remembers.” Explain the method clearly and add a specific detail if possible.

Example: I usually remember people’s names quite easily. I connect each name with the person’s face, so when I see them again, their name often comes back to me.

How do you feel when people can't remember your name?

Score: 70.0

Suggestion: “It sucks” is very informal; “I feel a little hurt” is more suitable for the test. Remove the repeated “for,” and make the sentence less crowded by dividing the feeling and explanation into clear parts.

Example: I feel a little disappointed at first, but I try not to take it personally. My name is quite unusual, and some people still find it difficult to pronounce even after knowing me for a year.

Do you often forget people's names?

Score: 78.0

Suggestion: The answer is clear, but “associate their facial features with their name” sounds slightly unnatural; say “connect their faces with their names.” Avoid starting a separate sentence with “So” here, and finish with a statement rather than a question.

Example: Not very often. I connect people’s faces with their names, which helps me remember who is who when I meet them again.

Grammar

1: Singular and plural issue

× Sometimes I tend to forget other people's name, especially people who I only meet through mutual connections.

✓ Sometimes I tend to forget other people's names, especially people who I only meet through mutual connections.

The possessive phrase other people's refers to multiple people, so the noun name should be plural: names. Use the plural form when referring to names belonging to more than one person.

13: Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× It just comes natural to me. When I see the person's face, I automatically remembers their name.

✓ It just comes naturally to me. When I see the person's face, I automatically remember their name.

Natural is an adjective, but it modifies the verb comes here, so the adverb naturally is needed. Use an adverb to describe how an action happens.

2: Third person singular issue

× It just comes natural to me. When I see the person's face, I automatically remembers their name.

✓ It just comes naturally to me. When I see the person's face, I automatically remember their name.

The subject of the clause is I, so the verb should be the base form remember, not remembers. The -s ending is used with third-person singular subjects such as he, she, or it.
