Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer directly, then give one clear reason. Avoid repeating the same idea and simplify the confusing phrase “their names are the ways that people call them.” Use the natural expression “hear their names” and remember that “people’s names” is plural.

例: Yes, I find it quite easy because I have a good memory. When I meet someone, I try to listen carefully to their name and repeat it to myself. That usually helps me remember it.

提案: Organize your answer into two clear methods, and use accurate grammar: say “There are two ways” and “if a name is common.” Replace “relate their names with” with “associate their names with,” and explain the second method clearly. Give a specific example if possible.

例: I use two methods. If someone has a common name, I associate it with a distinctive feature or something about their personality. If the name is unusual, I repeat it a few times because it stands out and is easier to remember.

提案: State your feeling clearly and distinguish between an occasional mistake and repeated forgetfulness. Avoid unfinished phrases such as “I will” and use the natural expression “I feel disrespected.” You can add a brief reason to make your answer more complete.

例: I don’t mind if someone forgets my name once or twice, since that can happen to anyone. However, if a close friend or someone I’ve known for a long time keeps forgetting it, I might feel a little disrespected. I’d probably remind them politely.

提案: Give a direct answer first, then contrast people you see regularly with people you have not seen for a long time. Use natural phrases such as “people I meet regularly” and “haven’t seen in years,” and avoid unclear wording like “school me.”

例: I don’t often forget the names of people I see regularly, such as my classmates and friends. However, I sometimes forget the names of people I haven’t seen for years. For example, I may not remember some of my primary-school classmates’ names.

× once I've met them and I heard their names

✓ Once I've met them and heard their names

The two actions are linked to the present perfect phrase I've met, so use heard as the past participle after the shared auxiliary have. Avoid switching to the simple past I heard.

× their names are the ways that people call them

✓ I hear the names people call them

The original clause does not form a clear grammatical connection between names and the way people address someone. Use a direct clause such as I hear the names people call them.

× I can remember people's name easily

✓ I can remember people's names easily

People's refers to multiple people, so the plural noun names is appropriate when referring to the names of those people.

× so I will, I can remember people's name easily

✓ so I can remember people's names easily

The original contains an abandoned phrase, I will, followed by a second modal verb. Use one complete clause with the intended modal, I can.

× There's two ways does I remember people's name

✓ There are two ways I remember people's names

Use there are with the plural noun ways. The word does is not needed in this statement; it would be used to form a question, such as How does ...?

× people's name

✓ people's names

The answer refers to the names of multiple people, so name should be plural.

× if their name are quite common

✓ if their names are quite common

The verb are must agree with a plural subject. Changing name to names makes the subject and verb agree.

× I usually relate their names with their characteristics

✓ I usually relate their names to their characteristics

The usual preposition with relate in this meaning is to: relate one thing to another.

× I think this based on the frequency

✓ I think this is based on how often it happens

The phrase this based is missing the linking verb is. Including is creates a complete passive construction.

× for one times or two times

✓ once or twice

The original uses the singular number one with the plural noun times. Once or twice is the standard expression for one or two occasions.

× If I know that's people for a long time

✓ If I've known those people for a long time

That's means that is and cannot be used before the plural noun people. Use the demonstrative those to refer to multiple people.

× they still forgot my name

✓ they still forget my name

This is a general conditional situation, so use the present tense forget rather than the simple past forgot. The sentence then matches the if-clause about a continuing situation.

× I will. Feels like disrespect being disrespected.

✓ I will feel disrespected.

Feels like disrespect being disrespected is not a complete, well-formed clause in this context. Combining the ideas into I will feel disrespected gives the sentence a clear subject, verb, and complement.

× if those people I usually met

✓ if those are people I usually meet

The answer describes people the speaker usually sees now, so use the present tense meet rather than the past tense met. Adding are also makes the clause grammatically complete.

× for my classmate or school me or just my friends

✓ such as my classmates, schoolmates, or friends

The speaker is referring to multiple people, so use the plural forms classmates and schoolmates. Schoolmates is the correctly formed word.

× those who like long time no see

✓ those I haven't seen for a long time

The original phrase does not form a grammatical clause. Use the present perfect haven't seen to describe people the speaker has not seen during a period continuing up to now.
