Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Be more concise and correct grammar. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give one or two specific supporting details using linking words. Avoid redundancy and fix verb/noun agreement and word choice (e.g., 'names', 'clients' or 'people' instead of 'opponents').

例: Not really. I find remembering people's names quite difficult. When I worked in sales I had to learn many clients' names, so I developed a habit of writing short notes after meetings and repeating the name aloud to myself.

提案: Give a structured response: topic sentence + specific techniques, linked logically. Use clearer linking words (e.g., 'first', 'then', 'also') and more precise vocabulary (e.g., 'features', 'voice', 'gestures').

例: I usually use a couple of techniques. First, I take brief notes during or immediately after the meeting. Then I try to associate the name with a distinctive feature — for example, their voice or a hairstyle — and mentally repeat the name to reinforce it.

提案: Provide a direct topic sentence about your feelings, then one clear reason or example. Correct repetitions and incomplete sentences. Keep it to two or three sentences and finish your thought.

例: I don't mind much when people forget my name because I often forget names myself. Since my name is fairly simple, I usually just remind them politely by saying, 'It's actually [your name],' and then repeat it once so they can remember.

提案: Answer directly, using a clear subject and correct pronouns. Mention a specific context and one strategy, finishing the sentence. Use linking words like 'especially' correctly and avoid unfinished phrases.

例: Yes, I often forget names, especially in social situations like parties where I meet many people quickly. To cope, I make a quick note on my phone after meeting someone or write down a few details about them so I can remember later.

× It's quite hard for me to remember people's name.

✓ It's quite hard for me to remember people's names.

The noun 'name' should be plural 'names' because 'people' is plural and refers to multiple individuals. Use plural nouns to match plural references; change 'name' to 'names'.

× Although I was in sales which would be a routine to remember other opponents' name, but I'm not really good at it.

✓ Although I worked in sales, where it was routine to remember other people's names, I'm not really good at it.

Multiple issues: 'was in sales' is acceptable but 'worked in sales' is clearer; 'which would be a routine to remember' is incorrect structure—use 'where it was routine to remember'. 'Opponents' is the wrong word for colleagues/clients; use 'people' or omit. 'name' should be plural 'names' to match 'other people'. Also remove the redundant 'but' after 'Although'. The corrected sentence keeps past reference for the job and present comment about ability.

× I often take memos and try to remember it.

✓ I often take notes and try to remember them.

'Memos' (or 'notes') is plural, so the pronoun must be plural 'them' not 'it'. Also 'take memos' is uncommon; 'take notes' is more natural. Ensure pronoun agrees in number with its antecedent.

× I try to take notes when I have a meeting with them.

✓ I try to take notes when I have a meeting with them.

This sentence is acceptable, but ensure consistency: using 'have a meeting with' is correct. No change needed; included for completeness.

× If I can during the meeting, I would recall their face and how they talked and other characteristics that I can remember.

✓ If I can during the meeting, I try to recall their faces, how they speak, and other characteristics I can remember.

Tense and form issues: 'would recall' is conditional and mismatches 'If I can' (present ability), so use 'try to recall' or 'I recall'. 'Face' should be plural 'faces' to match 'their'. 'How they talked' shifts to past — use 'how they speak' to match present context. Remove unnecessary 'that' and streamline the clause.

× I kind of relate to them because I'm not really good at remembering names and my name is is kind of easy to remember because it's fairly simple.

✓ I kind of relate to them because I'm not really good at remembering names, and my name is kind of easy to remember because it's fairly simple.

Main issues: duplicate 'is is' is a typo — remove extra 'is'. Sentence is long; add a comma before 'and' to separate clauses. Pronouns are fine otherwise. Ensure no repeated words.

× So I try to get the name

✓ So I try to get the name when I can.

The sentence is incomplete and abrupt. Adding 'when I can' or 'at the beginning of the conversation' completes the thought and clarifies when the speaker tries to get the name.

× That's what I often do especially when it's not business related.

✓ That's what I often do, especially when it's not business-related.

Add a comma before 'especially' for clarity. 'Business related' should be hyphenated as 'business-related' when used as a compound adjective before or after the noun. Pronouns okay.

× I We often forget names when I occasionally go to parties and just forget who I met.

✓ I often forget names, especially when I occasionally go to parties and just forget who I met.

There is a stray 'We' causing confusion and subject disagreement. Remove 'We' and combine ideas: 'I often forget names' then explain circumstances. Maintain consistent subject 'I' throughout.

× So I try to take notes after

✓ So I try to take notes afterward.

The original sentence ends abruptly with 'after' and lacks an object or completion. Replace 'after' with 'afterward' to complete the thought, or specify 'after the meeting' to be clearer.
