Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
점수: 62.0제안: Answer the question directly and avoid the awkward phrase “on the occasions no.” Use a clear contrast with “whereas” or “but,” and replace “people whom I am not interested in” with the more natural expression “people I do not know well.” You could also add a specific reason, such as having more interaction with people you like. Keep the answer to two or three well-connected sentences.
예시: It depends. I can easily remember the names of people I like because I usually spend more time talking to them. However, I sometimes forget the names of people I have only met once or twice.
How do you remember people's names?
점수: 50.0제안: Organize your answer chronologically and remove the self-corrections and repetition. Explain what you do now first, then mention what you did in the past, using linking words such as “nowadays” and “before.” Use natural phrases like “save them in my phone,” “write them in a notebook,” and “memorize them.”
예시: Nowadays, I usually save people’s names in my phone as soon as I meet them. If I need to remember someone’s name for a long time, I write it down in a notebook and repeat it a few times. Before smartphones became common, I mainly relied on memorizing names.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
점수: 64.0제안: Your main idea is relevant and clear, but the answer contains repetition and a grammatical error in “because they know don't know me.” State your feeling once, then give the reason. Use a natural expression such as “I do not take it personally” instead of repeating “I do not feel anything negative.”
예시: I do not take it personally when people forget my name. It is quite understandable, especially if we have only met once or do not know each other very well. I might feel slightly disappointed, but generally, I do not get upset about it.
Do you often forget people's names?
점수: 55.0제안: Give a direct answer first, such as “Yes, occasionally,” and then provide your example. Correct the grammar in “people's name” to “people's names” and “there is a guy shouted” to “a man called my name.” Do not use both “but” and “however” together; use one linking word. Explain the situation in a logical sequence.
예시: Yes, I occasionally forget people’s names, especially when I have only met them once. For example, a man called my name in a shopping mall, but I could not remember who he was. I felt quite embarrassed, so I apologized and asked him to remind me of his name.
× I remember people's names by using a smartphone back nowadays when smartphones were not common. I write people's names on a piece of paper, my notebooks Oh, just simply mummorized by heart.
✓ Nowadays, I remember people's names by using my smartphone, but back when smartphones were not common, I wrote people's names on a piece of paper or in my notebook, or I simply memorized them.
The original answer combines several incomplete and poorly connected clauses. Use clear linking words such as but and or to organize the contrasting ideas. Also, each main clause should have a clear subject and verb.
× back nowadays when smartphones were not common. I write people's names on a piece of paper
✓ Back when smartphones were not common, I wrote people's names on a piece of paper.
The phrase back when refers to a past period, so the verb should be in the past tense: wrote, not write. Use the present tense for current habits and the past tense for habits in the past.
× I don't feel anything bad when people can't remember my name I think that it's quite natural that people can't remember my name because they know don't know me very well.
✓ I don't feel bad when people can't remember my name. I think it is quite natural because they don't know me very well.
The original answer contains a run-on sentence and the words know don't know are in the wrong order. Separate the ideas with a full stop and use the correct negative structure: don't know.
× I do forget people's name when I don't know these people very well.
✓ I do forget people's names when I don't know these people very well.
People's names refers to the names of multiple people in general, so the plural noun names is required. Use the plural form when discussing a general category rather than one specific name.
× For example, there is a guy shouted my name while he was in a shopping mall.
✓ For example, there was a guy who shouted my name while he was in a shopping mall.
Use there was because the example describes a past event. The noun guy also needs a relative clause introduced by who: a guy who shouted my name.
× For example, there is a guy shouted my name while he was in a shopping mall, but however, I feel embarrassed because I didn't remember his name.
✓ For example, there was a guy who shouted my name while he was in a shopping mall, but I felt embarrassed because I didn't remember his name.
The story describes a completed event in the past, so feel should be changed to felt. Keep the verb tense consistent when describing past experiences.
× but however, I feel embarrassed
✓ but I felt embarrassed
But and however both express contrast, so using them together is redundant. Use either but or however, not both in the same clause. Here, but is the more natural choice.
