Name— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Your answer is clear and directly answers the question, and you give a reason. However, “exotic” can sound insensitive when describing names, and the repeated use of “because” makes the sentence less natural. Add commas in the list of examples and use a more neutral phrase such as “names from unfamiliar cultures.”

예시: No, I don’t always find it easy to remember people’s names, especially when they come from cultures that are unfamiliar to me. For example, I sometimes struggle with Japanese, Arabic, or Hindu names because their pronunciation and spelling can be quite different from what I’m used to.

제안: You provide a useful comparison between the past and the present, but there are several grammar and preposition errors: use “people’s names,” “on a piece of paper,” and “into my iPhone.” “Back in the days” is less natural here; say “in the past” or “before smartphones became common.” Begin with a direct topic sentence and avoid repeating the same phrase.

예시: I usually remember people’s names by saving them in my phone. In the past, before smartphones became common, I would write names down on a piece of paper, but now I simply add them to my contacts as soon as I meet someone.

제안: Your response is direct, concise, and logically supported. However, “I don’t feel anything bad” is not idiomatic; use “I don’t feel offended” or “I don’t mind.” The rhetorical question sounds slightly defensive, so replace it with a more natural explanation. You could also mention that remembering names takes time.

예시: I don’t feel offended when people can’t remember my name. I think it’s quite normal, especially if we’ve only just met or haven’t spoken very often. After all, people meet many new individuals, so it can take time to remember everyone’s name.

제안: You answer the question and explain why, but the response contains unnatural and repetitive expressions. Say “people I’m not familiar with” rather than “people’s names whom,” and use “I don’t feel motivated to remember” instead of “I don’t feel the incentive.” Also, saying that you are not interested in people may sound impolite; focus on not having enough interaction with them. Reduce repetition and use a more tactful tone.

예시: Yes, I sometimes forget the names of people I don’t know very well, especially if I only meet them once. I’m more likely to remember a name when I have regular conversations with someone or when the person makes a strong impression on me. Otherwise, I may need to hear the name several times before I remember it.

× I remember people's name by writing them down a piece of paper back in the days when smart phones were not common.

✓ I remember people's names by writing them down a piece of paper back in the days when smart phones were not common.

The plural possessive noun people's refers to more than one person, so the noun name should also be plural: names.

× I remember people's name by writing them down a piece of paper back in the days when smart phones were not common.

✓ I remember people's names by writing them down on a piece of paper back in the days when smart phones were not common.

Use the preposition on when referring to writing on the surface of a piece of paper. The phrase is write something down on a piece of paper.

× Nowadays I remember people's name by typing them onto my iPhone.

✓ Nowadays I remember people's names by typing them onto my iPhone.

People's refers to multiple people, so name should be pluralized as names.

× Yes, I frequently forget people's names whom I'm not familiar with and whom I'm not interested in.

✓ Yes, I frequently forget the names of people whom I'm not familiar with and whom I'm not interested in.

The relative pronoun whom incorrectly follows people's names, making it appear to refer to names. Use the names of people so that whom clearly refers to people.

× I don't feel the incentive to remember the names of people whom I'm not interested and not familiar with.

✓ I don't feel the incentive to remember the names of people whom I'm not interested in and not familiar with.

The adjective interested requires the preposition in. The correct phrase is be interested in someone.
