Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly with a grammatically complete opening, such as “Yes, I’m fairly good at remembering people’s names.” Use the plural possessive “people’s names,” reduce fillers, and explain briefly how remembering a name shows respect. Avoid repeating the same idea.

例: Yes, I’m fairly good at remembering people’s names, especially if I meet them more than once. I think using someone’s name shows that I value the conversation and respect them.

提案: Your response is unfinished, so complete the explanation with a clear method and a specific example. Avoid repetition such as “any any” and “say say,” and use a natural phrase like “repeat the name to myself.”

例: After I meet someone, I repeat their name to myself a few times. If the person is important to me, I also try to connect the name with something I learned about them, such as their job or a hobby.

提案: Give your feeling directly first, then explain why you are not too bothered. Use natural phrasing such as “after meeting someone only once” and “I don’t take it personally”; clarify that your name is common without the unclear phrase “I can’t find this problem much.”

例: I’m not too bothered because it can be difficult to remember a name after meeting someone only once. My name is quite common, so I understand if people occasionally forget it, and I don’t take it personally.

提案: Answer directly and keep the verb tense consistent: say “I often forget,” not “I forgot,” for a regular habit. Use the possessive “people’s names,” remove the conflicting linkers “And but,” and finish with a clear detail about your strategy.

例: Yes, I sometimes forget people’s names, even when I recognize their faces. When that happens, I try to recall where I met them or repeat their name to myself the next time I hear it.

× Yeah, it's quite easy for me to remember person's name.

✓ Yeah, it's quite easy for me to remember people's names.

The answer refers to people in general, so use the plural possessive people's and the plural noun names, rather than the singular person's name.

× It usually happens when, uh, I meet people again and again and it also uh shows respect towards the other persons um while remembering their name.

✓ It usually happens when I meet people again and again, and it also shows respect toward other people when remembering their names.

The sentence refers to multiple people, so the matching noun should be plural: names, not name.

× After meeting any any individual or my friend, I repeatedly mmm say say it to my mind and especially I remember those names which is usually crucial for me or

✓ After meeting an individual or a friend, I repeatedly say their name to myself, and I especially remember the names that are usually crucial to me.

Say it to my mind is not the correct expression. Use say their name to myself or repeat their name in my mind. The corrected sentence also removes repeated speech sounds.

× After meeting any any individual or my friend, I repeatedly mmm say say it to my mind and especially I remember those names which is usually crucial for me or

✓ After meeting an individual or a friend, I repeatedly say their name to myself, and I especially remember the names that are usually crucial to me.

The subject of the relative clause is the plural noun names, so the verb must be are, not is.

× Yeah, it's quite common that I forgot people names.

✓ Yeah, it's quite common for me to forget people's names.

This describes a usual or repeated situation, so use the present-tense verb forget rather than the past-tense form forgot.

× Yeah, it's quite common that I forgot people names.

✓ Yeah, it's quite common for me to forget people's names.

People is plural and possessive here, so it needs an apostrophe: people's. Names should also be plural because the speaker means the names of multiple people.

× Sometimes I only remember their faces and forgot their names.

✓ Sometimes I only remember their faces and forget their names.

Both verbs describe a repeated present-time habit, so keep them in the present tense: remember and forget.

× And but I tried to remember their names by uh repeatedly saying in my mind

✓ I try to remember their names by repeatedly saying them to myself.

And and but should not be used together in this sentence. Remove both conjunctions to make the statement grammatical.

× And but I tried to remember their names by uh repeatedly saying in my mind

✓ I try to remember their names by repeatedly saying them to myself.

The sentence describes a regular effort, so use the present-tense verb try rather than the past-tense form tried.

× And but I tried to remember their names by uh repeatedly saying in my mind

✓ I try to remember their names by repeatedly saying them to myself.

In this context, say something to myself is the natural construction. Include them as the object of saying to make clear that the speaker repeats the names.
