Score: 62.0Suggestion: Trả lời trực tiếp hơn bằng “Yes, I think so” và giải thích rõ bạn nhớ tên diễn viên hoặc nhân vật như thế nào. Khi so sánh với chị/em gái, dùng cấu trúc tự nhiên như “Unlike me, my sister often forgets their names.” Hạn chế các từ đệm “uh” và hoàn thành ý cuối câu.
Example: Yes, I think so. When I watch movies with my family, I can usually remember the actors’ and characters’ names. Unlike me, my sister often forgets them, so she asks me to remind her.
How do you remember people's names?
Score: 52.0Suggestion: Nêu một cách ghi nhớ cụ thể thay vì nói “I don’t know”; chẳng hạn, liên kết tên với khuôn mặt, đặc điểm hoặc hoàn cảnh gặp gỡ. Sửa cách diễn đạt chưa tự nhiên “attach to me” thành “make an impression on me” hoặc “stand out to me”. Tránh lặp “because” và giảm ngập ngừng.
Example: I usually remember people's names by linking them to their faces or something distinctive about them. If someone makes a strong impression on me, their name tends to stick in my mind. This makes it easier to recall their name later.

Score: 58.0Suggestion: Câu trả lời có ý chính và ví dụ phù hợp, nhưng cần diễn đạt mạch lạc hơn và tránh kết thúc dang dở. Dùng thì hiện tại hoặc quá khứ nhất quán, chẳng hạn “Some of my teachers couldn’t remember my name”. Sau đó đối lập rõ hai tình huống bằng “However” và nói ngắn gọn cảm xúc của bạn.
Example: I don't mind much when a teacher forgets my name because they have so many students to remember. However, I would feel a little hurt if someone I really valued couldn't remember it. In that case, I might think they hadn't paid much attention to me.
Do you often forget people's names?
Score: 55.0Suggestion: Bắt đầu bằng “Not often” thay vì “I think no”, rồi giải thích ngắn gọn trường hợp bạn có thể quên tên. Sửa “I will forgot” thành “I might forget” và “misunderstanding their name with someone” thành “confuse their name with someone else’s”. Dùng từ nối như “However” và tránh lặp “I think”.
Example: Not often, because I have a fairly good memory. However, I might forget someone's name if I haven't seen them for a long time. Occasionally, I may also confuse their name with someone else's, but that doesn't happen very often.
× It's quite opposite with my sister.
✓ It's quite the opposite for my sister.
For is the appropriate preposition when describing how a situation differs for someone. Use the opposite as a noun phrase in this expression.
× It's quite opposite with my sister.
✓ It's quite the opposite for my sister.
The expression requires the definite article before opposite when opposite is used as a noun: the opposite.
× She's quite easily uh forgot their names.
✓ She quite easily forgets their names.
This describes a general habit, so use the present simple forgets. Do not use is before the past-tense verb forgot.
× She's always asked me the character uh
✓ She always asks me about the character.
The sentence describes a repeated habit, so use the present simple asks rather than the past participle asked after is. About also makes the question's topic clear.
× The reason why I still remember their names is because they have something like um attach me, attach to me, like they had impressions on me.
✓ I think I remember their names because they have something that makes an impression on me.
The original contains an incomplete and disfluent clause around attach me, attach to me. Use a complete clause with a subject and a correctly conjugated verb, such as something that makes an impression on me.
× Many teachers didn't uh like they can't recall my name.
✓ Many teachers can't recall my name.
This describes a general situation, so use the present tense can't recall. The past-tense didn't conflicts with the present-tense clause and appears to be a false start.
× I feel it's quite sad when someone I really appreciate but they don't remember my name.
✓ I feel it's quite sad when someone I really appreciate doesn't remember my name.
The original begins a clause with when but then adds a second subject and but without completing the structure. Make someone the subject of the clause and connect it directly to the verb doesn't remember.
× If there's someone I didn't have a chance to meet like regularly, I think I will forgot their name or misunderstanding their name with someone.
✓ If there's someone I don't get a chance to meet regularly, I think I will forget their name or mistake their name for someone else's.
Use the present tense don't get in this general conditional. Also, the verbs after will need to be in the base form: forget and mistake.
× I think I will forgot their name.
✓ I think I will forget their name.
The modal verb will must be followed by the base form of a verb. Use forget, not forgot.
× I think I will forgot their name or misunderstanding their name with someone.
✓ I think I will forget their name or mistake their name for someone else's.
Keep both verbs parallel after will and use their base forms: forget and mistake. Do not use misunderstanding after will.
× It's rarely happened, I think so.
✓ It rarely happens, I think.
This describes how often the event occurs in general, so use the present simple happens rather than the present perfect form has happened. Rarely normally appears before the main verb.
