Name— Part 1 Informe

Sugerencia: 질문에 직접 답한 점과 이유를 제시한 점은 좋습니다. 하지만 “Eventually name”은 문법적으로 부자연스러우므로 “People’s names don’t usually make a strong impression on me”처럼 표현해야 합니다. 또한 “forget it”과 “it slips my mind”는 의미가 반복되므로 하나만 사용하세요. 첫 문장에서 답을 분명히 제시한 뒤, 구체적인 상황이나 예시를 한 문장 추가하면 더 효과적입니다.

Ejemplo: No, I’m not very good at remembering people’s names because they don’t usually make a strong impression on me. I often forget a name shortly after meeting someone, especially at parties where I meet several people at once.

Sugerencia: 이름을 기억하는 방법을 구체적으로 설명한 점은 좋지만, 문장이 너무 길고 연결이 부자연스럽습니다. “a voice”는 일반적으로 “their voice”라고 하고, “distinct distinctive trait”는 중복이므로 “distinctive feature”로 수정하세요. “decor names”는 잘못된 표현이므로 “remember names” 또는 “recall their names”를 사용해야 합니다. 두 문장으로 나누고 “For example” 같은 연결어를 사용하면 더 자연스럽습니다.

Ejemplo: I usually associate a person’s name with their face, voice, and one distinctive feature, such as their hairstyle or smile. For example, if someone has a very friendly smile, I connect that feature with their name, which helps me remember it when we meet again.

Sugerencia: 감정을 제시하고 그 이유를 설명한 점은 좋습니다. 그러나 “can be implied”와 “like were not paying attention”은 의미와 문법이 부자연스러우므로 “it might imply that they weren’t paying attention”으로 고치세요. 질문은 다른 사람이 자신의 이름을 기억하지 못할 때의 감정을 묻고 있으므로, 그 상황에서 느끼는 당황스러움이나 서운함을 직접 설명하는 것이 더 적절합니다. 마지막 문장은 자신의 행동보다는 상대방의 행동에 대한 느낌으로 마무리하세요.

Ejemplo: I feel a little awkward and disappointed when someone can’t remember my name. It sometimes makes me wonder whether they were paying attention when we first met. However, I understand that remembering names can be difficult, so I usually remind them politely.

Sugerencia: 첫 두 문장은 질문에 직접 답하고 이유도 제시해서 기본 구조가 좋습니다. 하지만 “face or character”는 “face and personality”가 더 자연스럽고, “in a big social setting” 앞에는 “at”을 사용하는 것이 적절합니다. 마지막 문장인 “So I always say to them”은 미완성이라 의미가 전달되지 않으므로, 실제로 상대방에게 무엇이라고 말하는지 완성해야 합니다. 예를 들어 이름을 다시 물어보거나 사과하는 표현을 추가하면 답변이 완전해집니다.

Ejemplo: Yes, I often forget people’s names, especially when I meet several people at a large social gathering. I find it difficult to connect a name with someone’s face and personality. When that happens, I usually say, “I’m sorry, could you remind me of your name?”

✓ I feel quite nervous because I think forgetting someone's name can imply that we're not paying attention.
