Examiner
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Candidate
I think it's quite easy since we've met. I will also try my best to remember their names by repeating them after we met to myself because I don't want them to feel disappointed.
Examiner
How do you remember people's names?
Candidate
As I said, I will repeat their names to myself many times until I really remember it. I think this way I can respect people more.
Examiner
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Candidate
I think it's quite normal when people don't remember your name since you've just met. Or maybe she or he faced many new faces, but not just you. I think maybe they can remember it later and I won't feel that disappointed or maybe a little sad.
Examiner
Do you often forget people's names?
Candidate
No, I don't often forget people's name because I always use my way to remember those names. So it's not a big deal with me. I can always remember everyone's name.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Score: 62.0Suggestion: 先直接回答是否容易,再说明你会如何记名字以及原因。“since we've met”在这里意思不清,可改为“when I meet someone”;“repeat their names ... to myself”可说“repeat their names to myself”。注意时态一致,并用一个具体方法丰富回答即可,避免表达过长。
Example: Yes, I’m fairly good at remembering names. When I meet someone new, I repeat their name to myself a few times, because I think it makes them feel valued.
How do you remember people's names?
Score: 68.0Suggestion: 回答切题,但重复“as I said”没有增加信息,而且“names”是复数,后面应使用“them”,不能用“it”。可以补充更具体的记忆步骤,例如把名字和对方的面貌或初次见面的场景联系起来;“show respect”比“respect people more”在这里更自然。
Example: I usually repeat a person's name once or twice during our conversation. I also try to connect it with their face or something we talked about, which makes it easier to remember.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Score: 61.0Suggestion: 观点合理,但“she or he faced many new faces”不够自然,可改为“they have met many people”。描述一般情况时,尽量统一使用“people/they”,不要在“your name”和“I”之间频繁切换。结尾可以明确说自己只是有一点失落,但会理解对方,并删去重复的“maybe”。
Example: I might feel a little disappointed, but I wouldn’t take it personally. People often meet several new people at once, so it’s understandable if they forget my name at first.
Do you often forget people's names?
Score: 58.0Suggestion: 开头回答明确,但“people's name”应为“people's names”,“use my way”不自然,可说“use my own method”。“I can always remember everyone's name”过于绝对,也和前面的“don't often forget”不完全一致;建议说明通常能记住,并简要提及自己的方法。
Example: Not very often. I usually repeat people's names to myself after meeting them, so I can remember most of them. I do occasionally forget a name if I meet several people at once.
× I will also try my best to remember their names by repeating them after we met to myself because I don't want them to feel disappointed.
✓ I will also try my best to remember their names by repeating them to myself after we meet because I don't want them to feel disappointed.
在表示将来时间的 after 从句中,通常用一般现在时,而不用一般过去时。这里应将 “we met” 改为 “we meet”。
× As I said, I will repeat their names to myself many times until I really remember it.
✓ As I said, I will repeat their names to myself many times until I really remember them.
“it” 是单数代词,但它指代复数的 “their names”,所以应使用复数宾格代词 “them”。
× No, I don't often forget people's name because I always use my way to remember those names.
✓ No, I don't often forget people's names because I always use my way to remember those names.
这里泛指人们的多个名字,因此 “name” 应使用复数形式 “names”。建议留意名词的数量,并确保它与句意一致。
× So it's not a big deal with me.
✓ So it's not a big deal for me.
表示某事对某人来说不重要或不是问题时,通常使用 “a big deal for someone”,而不是 “with someone”。因此应将 “with” 改为 “for”。
