Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly and use a more natural structure. Avoid repeating words such as “she is so good” and “she is so kind.” Use precise phrases like “made a strong impression on me” and explain clearly how your teacher helped you. Also, say “helped me with my academic work” rather than “academic works,” and use linking words to connect your example.

例: Yes, I usually remember people’s names easily, especially when they make a strong impression on me. For example, I still remember my college teacher, Rejifi, because she was very kind and often helped me with my academic work. Her support made her name particularly memorable.

提案: Give a clear answer about the method you use before adding an example. The response is unfinished and contains repeated phrases such as “I couldn't.” Use the correct tense “when I meet them,” and say “in places where I don’t remember their names.” You could mention repeating the name, associating it with the person’s appearance, or asking politely again.

例: I try to repeat a person’s name a few times after meeting them. If I still forget it, I simply ask them politely to remind me of their name. For instance, when I meet someone again at the mall, I might say, “Sorry, could you remind me of your name?”

提案: Express your feeling clearly and complete the example. The answer stops mid-sentence, so it does not fully develop the idea. Use the natural phrase “I introduce myself again” rather than “I introduced my name.” Add a contrast, such as feeling slightly disappointed at first but understanding that people may meet many others.

例: I feel a little disappointed at first, especially if I have met the person several times. However, I understand that people can forget names when they meet many others. For example, when an old classmate asked for my name last year, I just introduced myself again and continued the conversation.

提案: The answer is relevant and includes a reasonable strategy, but it is one long sentence with several repeated uses of “and.” Divide it into two or three sentences and use linking words such as “especially” and “if.” Replace “if I forgot their name” with “if I have forgotten their name” or “if I forget their name” for a more natural expression.

例: Yes, I often forget people’s names, especially when they are not close friends. If I cannot remember someone’s name, I politely ask them again and apologize briefly. After that, I continue the conversation so the situation does not become awkward.

× that person has done a very good thing to me

✓ that person has done a very good thing for me

The preposition for is used when someone does something beneficial for another person. To is not the natural preposition in this expression.

× my teacher in college, her name is Rejifi

✓ My college teacher\'s name is Rejifi.

The original sentence has two subjects: my teacher and her name. Use the possessive form teacher\'s to create a clear sentence structure.

× She is so good like she is so kind

✓ She is very good and kind.

Like cannot connect two complete descriptions in this sentence. Use and to join the two adjectives good and kind.

× my academic works

✓ my academic work

Work is usually an uncountable noun when it means a person\'s studies or tasks in general, so it does not normally take a plural ending in this context.

× she asks my mother also

✓ she also asks my mother

The adverb also is normally placed before the main verb asks. This position makes the sentence sound more natural and grammatically standard.

× when I met them at the mall

✓ when I meet them at the mall

The student is describing a usual habit, so the present tense meet is needed instead of the past tense met.

× at the mall or any places

✓ at the mall or any other place

Any is followed by a singular countable noun when referring to one possible location. Therefore, place is more appropriate than places here.

× that I couldn\'t I couldn\'t know their name so yeah I asked them again what they

✓ If I cannot remember their names, I ask them again.

The original sentence repeats I could not and ends with an incomplete clause. The correction uses a complete conditional clause and a complete main clause.

× I introduced my name right away

✓ I introduced myself right away.

When a person gives their own name, the natural expression is introduce myself. The reflexive pronoun myself refers back to the subject I.

× last year I met these old classmates and yeah, she asked my name

✓ Last year, I met an old classmate, and she asked me my name.

The pronoun she refers to one female classmate, so the noun must be singular: an old classmate. The article an is also required before the singular countable noun.

× she asked my name and

✓ She asked me my name.

The original clause ends with and but does not provide another clause to complete the coordination. Removing and creates a complete sentence.

× if that person is not my close friend

✓ if that person is not a close friend

Close friend is a singular countable noun used in a general statement, so it needs the indefinite article a. The possessive my is not needed here.

× every time that I don\'t remember someone\'s name I ask them politely and continue the conversation and apologize to them if I forgot their name

✓ Every time I do not remember someone\'s name, I ask them politely, continue the conversation, and apologize to them if I forget their name.

The sentence describes a repeated habit, so forget must be in the present tense rather than the past tense forgot. The repeated actions are also separated with commas to make the structure clearer.
