Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Candidato
It depends. I think. If it is a common name, it's quite easy for me to remember, but if the name contains some difficult words, it will be very hard for me to remember.
Examinador
How do you remember people's names?
Candidato
Well, I have a useful method of remembering people's names. For example, uh, if people introduce themselves, then I'll ask them, uh, what uh, their names originate from. And so maybe they will tell me. A a interesting story about their names so that I can, uh, remember their names easily.
Examinador
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Candidato
Well, I might feel sad about it, but uh, I will regret it because, you know, in my country there are thousands of names around people, so it's very hard for people to remember every name around them.
Examinador
Do you often forget people's names?
Candidato
No, I do remember people's names around me. I think it's a basic respect to people and my parents always told me that we have to remember people's names to show kindness and the respect.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: 回答基本直接,也使用了“but”进行对比,内容清楚。不过,“It depends. I think.”表达不自然,可以合并为“ It depends.”“the name contains some difficult words”不太符合英语习惯,建议改为“the name is unusual or difficult to pronounce”。此外,可以补充一个具体例子,让答案更生动,但不要超过3—4句话。
Ejemplo: It depends. If someone has a common name, I can usually remember it quite easily. However, if the name is unusual or difficult to pronounce, I may need to hear it a few times. For example, I often forget foreign names when I first meet someone.
How do you remember people's names?
Puntuación: 72.0Sugerencia: 答案有明确的方法和例子,逻辑基本连贯,但口语中的“uh”过多,影响流畅度;“what their names originate from”应改为“where their names come from”或“what their names mean”;“A interesting story”应改为“an interesting story”。建议减少重复的铺垫,直接说明方法、原因和结果。
Ejemplo: I usually ask people what their names mean or where their names come from. If they tell me an interesting story, I can connect the name with that story and remember it more easily. I also try to use their name once or twice during the conversation.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Puntuación: 65.0Sugerencia: 答案表达了情绪和原因,但“regret it”用词错误;这里应使用“feel disappointed”或“feel a little upset”。“there are thousands of names around people”以及“every name around them”表达不自然,建议改为“there are so many people and names”。同时,题目问的是感受,可以先清楚回答,再补充理解对方的原因。
Ejemplo: I might feel a little disappointed if someone forgets my name, especially if we have met several times. However, I usually try not to take it personally because people meet many new people every day. I understand that remembering everyone’s name can be difficult.
Do you often forget people's names?
Puntuación: 80.0Sugerencia: 答案直接回答了问题,并给出了个人观点和父母的影响,内容完整。不过,“a basic respect”应改为“a basic form of respect”,“the respect”应改为“respect”;“people's names around me”可以更自然地说成“the names of people around me”。建议加入一个具体做法或结果,进一步丰富答案。
Ejemplo: No, I don’t often forget people’s names. I think remembering someone’s name is a basic form of respect, and my parents taught me to do this from a young age. To help myself, I try to repeat a person’s name during our first conversation.
× A a interesting story about their names so that I can, uh, remember their names easily.
✓ An interesting story about their names so that I can remember their names easily.
“interesting”以元音音素开头,所以前面应使用不定冠词“an”,不能使用“a”。另外,“A a”是重复书写,应删除一个冠词。
× I think it's a basic respect to people and my parents always told me that we have to remember people's names to show kindness and the respect.
✓ I think it's a basic respect for people, and my parents always told me that we have to remember people's names to show kindness and respect.
表示“对某人的尊重”时,通常使用固定搭配“respect for someone”,而不是“respect to someone”。因此,“to people”应改为“for people”。
× I think it's a basic respect to people and my parents always told me that we have to remember people's names to show kindness and the respect.
✓ I think it's a basic respect for people, and my parents always told me that we have to remember people's names to show kindness and respect.
“kindness and respect”表示抽象概念,通常泛指时不使用定冠词“the”。因此,“the respect”应改为“respect”。
