Is it easy for you to remember people's names?

It is difficult for me to remember people. I can always identify a person by his or her face and the place of their residence. But it is very difficult for me to remember their name and associate a face with a name.

Do you often forget people's names?
수험생
I must agree, I often forget people's names when I meet new people, but I get used to it after meeting them on several occasions.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
점수: 65.0제안: Answer directly by saying that remembering names is difficult, rather than saying it is difficult to remember people. The phrase “the place of their residence” is overly formal and does not clearly support your point. Add a natural, specific detail, and avoid repeating that names are difficult to remember.
예시: No, I’m not very good at remembering people’s names. I usually recognize their faces, but I sometimes struggle to match a name to the right person, especially when I’ve just met them.
How do you remember people's names?
점수: 58.0제안: Use the plural “important people’s names” and say “in my phone contacts” rather than “in my phone contact book.” “For two, three occasions” is unnatural; say “for the first few times.” Explain more clearly how writing names down helps you remember them, and use a linking phrase such as “after that.”
예시: I usually save their names in my phone contacts, sometimes with a note about where we met. I may forget a name the first few times we meet, but seeing it written down helps me remember it. After that, I can usually connect the name with the person.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
점수: 60.0제안: Replace “for five or six occasions” with “five or six times,” and say “at first” instead of “in earlier phase.” Your answer repeats that you are okay with it, so state your reaction once and explain the difference between meeting someone for the first time and seeing them repeatedly.
예시: I don’t mind if someone forgets my name the first time we meet, because it can be hard to remember names. However, I might feel a little annoyed if we had met five or six times and they still couldn’t remember it.
Do you often forget people's names?
점수: 72.0제안: Give a direct response without “I must agree,” which sounds unnatural here. Clarify that repeated meetings help you remember their names, rather than saying you “get used to it,” which could refer to the people. You could add one brief reason or example for a fuller answer.
예시: Yes, I do, especially when I meet several new people at once. I usually remember their names after we’ve met a few times, particularly if we’ve had a proper conversation.
