Do you often forget people's names?
Candidato
I am very ashamed to admit it, but it is true. I often forget people's names, especially if they are from high school. I have had many situations where my friends recall a friend from high school, but I have difficulty in doing so. Maybe it's because I've only spent two years in high school.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Pontuação: 68.0Sugestão: Answer the question directly with a clear opening sentence, then add one specific example. Avoid the long run-on sentence and fillers such as “like.” Also, say “people’s names” rather than “the people’s names,” and use “than” in the comparison: “I find it easier to remember faces than names.”
Exemplo: No, I find it easier to remember people’s faces than their names. For example, when someone mentions an old classmate, I can usually picture the person immediately, but I sometimes struggle to recall their name. I think this is because I pay more attention to people’s appearance than to their names.
How do you remember people's names?
Pontuação: 70.0Sugestão: Give a more natural and concise explanation. “Have their contacts immediately after the greeting session” is awkward; say “save their contact details soon after meeting them.” Avoid repetition and incorrect phrases such as “the place or the venue in the beside.” Use a linking word such as “so” to explain the result.
Exemplo: I usually remember people’s names by saving their contact details soon after meeting them. I also add the place where we met, such as a café or a conference venue, next to their name. That helps me remember both the person and the context in which we met.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Pontuação: 76.0Sugestão: Your answer expresses your feelings clearly and includes a useful qualification. However, the response repeats “feel” and “felt,” and the conditional structure is unnecessarily complicated. Answer in the present tense because the question asks about your general reaction, and replace “who I was or my name” with the more natural “my name.”
Exemplo: I would feel a little hurt if someone couldn’t remember my name, especially if we had met several times. However, I wouldn’t take it too personally or end the friendship. I would simply remind them of my name and continue the conversation.
Do you often forget people's names?
Pontuação: 78.0Sugestão: You give a direct answer, a specific situation, and a possible reason, which creates a good basic structure. To sound more natural, avoid “ashamed to admit it,” which is slightly too strong, and say “I have trouble remembering them” instead of “I have difficulty in doing so.” Clarify the final idea by explaining that you attended high school for only two years or had limited contact with those classmates.
Exemplo: Yes, I often forget people’s names, especially former high-school classmates. For instance, my friends sometimes mention someone we went to school with, but I can’t always remember who they are. This may be because I only attended that school for two years, so I didn’t have enough time to get to know everyone well.

The original response is a run-on sentence. Several independent clauses are joined without appropriate punctuation or a conjunction, and the sentence ends with and without completing the thought. Divide the ideas into two sentences and use a comma before the conjunction when joining independent clauses.

The article the is repeated in the phrase after the the greeting session. Use the only once. Also, place or venue is a general choice between two nouns, so the second the is unnecessary.

The preposition in is incorrect in the phrase in the beside the contact names. Use beside to show that one item is next to another item. The correct phrase is place the venue beside the contact names.

The question asks about a hypothetical situation in the present or future. Therefore, use would feel, not would have felt. Would have felt is a conditional perfect form used for an unreal or hypothetical situation in the past.
× Maybe it's because I've only spent two years in high school.
✓ Maybe it's because I only spent two years in high school.
The speaker has already completed high school, so the completed period should be expressed with the simple past, only spent. The present perfect form have spent is generally used when the time period continues to the present or has present relevance.
