Name— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Answer the question directly in your first sentence, then give one clear reason or example. Several phrases here are difficult to understand, and “difficult” is repeated. Use a simple contrast such as “I find it difficult, although…” and check subject–verb agreement and adverb use.

例: No, I don’t find it easy to remember people’s names. I’m often focused on the conversation, so I don’t always take in someone’s name the first time. I usually remember it better after I’ve met the person a few times.

提案: Explain one or two practical methods in a clear sequence. Avoid unclear phrases such as “vendor people named” and “deliver it off”; use accurate expressions like “repeat their name” or “use their name in conversation.” Reduce fillers and unfinished sentences, and make sure the answer stays focused on how you remember names.

例: I try to repeat a person’s name soon after I hear it. For example, I might say, “It’s nice to meet you, Anna,” and use the name again during our conversation. Meeting the person a few more times also helps me remember it.

提案: Your main idea is clear, but the answer contains a grammatical error (“just because someone doesn’t remember”) and an unnatural word choice: “suffocating” does not fit this situation. State how you feel consistently, then explain when it might bother you. Keep the contrast between not being offended and feeling disappointed clear.

例: Usually, I don’t mind if someone forgets my name, because I know it can happen to anyone. However, if I’ve met them several times, I might feel a little disappointed. I’d probably just remind them politely.

提案: Give a direct frequency answer, then explain the reason in a complete sentence. Phrases such as “I never say that people, man” are unclear, and “I didn’t remember” should be “I forget” or “I can’t remember” when describing a usual habit. Avoid repeating “there are some” and use one specific explanation.

例: Yes, occasionally. If I’m distracted or thinking about something else when I meet someone, I may not pay enough attention to their name. I usually remember it later if I hear it again.

× I usually differently but sometime I will also remember.

✓ I usually forget people's names, but sometimes I remember them.

The original sentence is missing a verb after usually, so the idea is incomplete. Use a verb such as forget to complete the clause. Sometimes is the correct form when you mean on some occasions.

× Tell me the only way to vendor people named is by talking to them again in the train and spend time with them and, uh, talk too much to them and umm, deliver it off with them.

✓ The only way to remember people's names is to talk to them again on the train, spend time with them, and talk to them often.

The original wording contains incomplete and unclear sentence structure. This correction makes the subject and main verb clear and presents the ways of remembering names in a consistent list.

× ...talking to them again in the train...

✓ ...talking to them again on the train...

Use on the train when referring to traveling by train. In the train is generally used to emphasize being inside the vehicle, rather than traveling by that form of transport.

× ...by talking to them again in the train and spend time with them...

✓ ...by talking to them again on the train and spending time with them...

The preposition by is followed by a verb in the -ing form. Keep the list parallel: talking, spending, and talking.

× ...so that I can umm. Refresh it and remember your name.

✓ ...so that I can refresh my memory and remember their names.

The conversation is about remembering other people's names, so your name does not match the intended reference. Use their names to refer to those people's names. The pronoun it also has no clear singular antecedent here; my memory makes the reference clear.

× I'm not a person who can get offended just by someone doesn't remember my name.

✓ I'm not a person who gets offended just because someone doesn't remember my name.

Because is needed to introduce the reason someone might cause offense. By cannot directly connect to the clause someone doesn't remember my name in this sentence.

× And I didn't like it when people didn't remember my name.

✓ And I don't like it when people don't remember my name.

The answer describes how the speaker generally feels, so use the present tense rather than the past tense.

× Occasionally, I never say that people, man, but sometimes, uh, I didn't remember because there are some, uh, there are some thoughts in my mind.

✓ Occasionally, I forget people's names, but sometimes I don't remember them because I have other things on my mind.

The question asks about a general habit, so use the present tense: forget and don't remember. The original phrase I didn't remember uses the past tense and does not fit that general meaning.

× Uh, for that reason, I forget the name.

✓ For that reason, I forget people's names.

The answer refers generally to forgetting names, so use the plural names rather than the singular name.
