Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Candidato
No, I always find it difficult to remember others' names. I usually mix up names because I tend to associate names with wrong faces. For example, I sometimes call someone by another person's name when I see them in the corridor.
Examinador
How do you remember people's names?
Candidato
I usually remember the name by repeating it when I first hear it. I do this because it helps me helps the name stick in my head and I also try to connect the name with something about the person. For example, if someone is a teacher, I might think Mr Lee, the teacher and that really helps.
Examinador
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Candidato
To be honest I have got to use to it because my name is really difficult to remember and almost every time a fringer might read backwards my name but anyway I know he is calling me is enough.
Examinador
Do you often forget people's names?
Candidato
Yes, one hundred percent because I don't have very good memory so every time I come across a person and I don't remember his or her name I would simplify his name by myself or just to perform very close but avoid calling her name.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Pontuação: 82.0Sugestão: 回答直接,结构清晰,并且用 because 和 For example 补充了原因和具体情境,符合基本结构和连贯性要求。可以把 “associate names with wrong faces” 改为更自然的 “associate the wrong names with people’s faces”,并将 “when I see them in the corridor” 改为更准确的 “when I run into them in the corridor”。此外,第一句和第二句的意思略有重复,可以适当压缩,使表达更有效。
Exemplo: No, I often struggle to remember people’s names. I sometimes associate the wrong names with their faces, so I may accidentally call someone by another person’s name. For instance, this has happened to me when I ran into classmates in the corridor.
How do you remember people's names?
Pontuação: 76.0Sugestão: 回答内容相关,使用了 repeating、connect 和 For example,细节也比较具体。但有明显语法和表达问题: “it helps me helps” 应改为 “it helps me make the name stick” 或 “it helps the name stick”;“remember the name”在泛指时更自然地说 “remember someone’s name”;“I might think Mr Lee, the teacher”需要改为完整表达,如 “I associate Mr Lee’s name with the fact that he is a teacher”。建议使用更自然的连接方式,并避免重复表达。
Exemplo: I usually repeat a person’s name when I first hear it because this helps it stick in my mind. I also connect the name with something about the person. For example, if the person is a teacher named Mr Lee, I remember him as “Mr Lee, the teacher,” which makes his name easier to recall.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Pontuação: 45.0Sugestão: 回答表达了“已经习惯了”的观点,也尝试解释名字难记的原因,但存在较多语法、词汇和句子组织问题。“have got to use to it”应改为 “I’ve got used to it”;“fringer”不是合适的词,可能想表达 “foreigner”;“read backwards my name”应改为 “pronounce my name incorrectly”;“I know he is calling me is enough”应改为 “I’m satisfied as long as I know they are calling me”。建议先给出清晰的感受,再用一到两个具体细节解释,避免过长且不连贯的句子。
Exemplo: To be honest, I’ve got used to it because my name is quite difficult for foreigners to pronounce. People sometimes pronounce it incorrectly, but I don’t feel offended. As long as I know they are trying to get my attention, I’m fine with it.
Do you often forget people's names?
Pontuação: 38.0Sugestão: 回答了问题,但 “Yes, one hundred percent” 过于绝对且不够自然;应说 “Yes, quite often” 或 “Yes, I’m quite forgetful”。“I don't have very good memory”缺少冠词,应改为 “I don’t have a very good memory”。后半部分有严重的搭配和代词问题:“simplify his name”以及 “perform very close”意思不清,可能想表达使用昵称或避免直接称呼对方。建议使用清晰的逻辑连接词,并提供一个简单、具体的应对方法。
Exemplo: Yes, I forget people’s names quite often because I don’t have a very good memory. When I meet someone whose name I can’t remember, I usually avoid using their name or politely ask them to remind me. Sometimes I also use a friendly nickname until I remember it.
× I usually mix up names because I tend to associate names with wrong faces.
✓ I usually mix up names because I tend to associate names with the wrong faces.
“wrong faces”在这里指特定的、对应错误的脸,因此通常需要使用定冠词“the”,构成“the wrong faces”。
× I do this because it helps me helps the name stick in my head and I also try to connect the name with something about the person.
✓ I do this because it helps the name stick in my head, and I also try to connect the name with something about the person.
“helps me helps”中重复使用了“helps”,造成句子结构错误。使用“help + 宾语 + 动词原形”结构时,应改为“helps the name stick”。
× To be honest I have got to use to it because my name is really difficult to remember and almost every time a fringer might read backwards my name but anyway I know he is calling me is enough.
✓ To be honest, I have got used to it because my name is really difficult to remember. Almost every time, a foreigner reads my name backwards, but anyway, knowing that he is calling me is enough.
“have got to use to it”结构不完整,表达“习惯于”应使用“get used to”。另外,“read backwards my name”语序错误,应改为“read my name backwards”;“I know he is calling me is enough”缺少清晰的主句结构,可改为动名词短语“knowing that he is calling me”。
× To be honest I have got to use to it because my name is really difficult to remember and almost every time a fringer might read backwards my name but anyway I know he is calling me is enough.
✓ To be honest, I have got used to it because my name is really difficult to remember. Almost every time, a foreigner reads my name backwards, but anyway, knowing that he is calling me is enough.
“backwards”修饰“read my name”,应放在宾语“my name”之后,形成“read my name backwards”,而不能放在动词和宾语之间。
× To be honest I have got to use to it because my name is really difficult to remember and almost every time a fringer might read backwards my name but anyway I know he is calling me is enough.
✓ To be honest, I have got used to it because my name is really difficult to remember. Almost every time, a foreigner reads my name backwards, but anyway, knowing that he is calling me is enough.
“I know he is calling me is enough”把两个句子结构混在了一起。可以使用“Knowing that he is calling me is enough”,其中“Knowing...”作主语,句子结构完整。
× Yes, one hundred percent because I don't have very good memory so every time I come across a person and I don't remember his or her name I would simplify his name by myself or just to perform very close but avoid calling her name.
✓ Yes, one hundred percent, because I don't have a very good memory. Every time I meet someone and don't remember their name, I either make up a name for them or avoid calling them by name.
“memory”是可数名词,表示“一段/一种很好的记忆力”时需要不定冠词“a”,所以应说“a very good memory”。
× Yes, one hundred percent because I don't have very good memory so every time I come across a person and I don't remember his or her name I would simplify his name by myself or just to perform very close but avoid calling her name.
✓ Yes, one hundred percent, because I don't have a very good memory. Every time I meet someone and don't remember their name, I either make up a name for them or avoid calling them by name.
这句话描述的是经常发生的习惯,应使用一般现在时。条件或时间从句“Every time...”后面使用“meet”和“don't remember”,主句也使用“make up”或“avoid”,不应使用“would”。
× Yes, one hundred percent because I don't have very good memory so every time I come across a person and I don't remember his or her name I would simplify his name by myself or just to perform very close but avoid calling her name.
✓ Yes, one hundred percent, because I don't have a very good memory. Every time I meet someone and don't remember their name, I either make up a name for them or avoid calling them by name.
原句在“his or her”“his”“her”之间前后不一致,而且不知道性别时反复使用不同代词不自然。可以使用单数中性代词“they/their/them”,保持指代一致。
× Yes, one hundred percent because I don't have very good memory so every time I come across a person and I don't remember his or her name I would simplify his name by myself or just to perform very close but avoid calling her name.
✓ Yes, one hundred percent, because I don't have a very good memory. Every time I meet someone and don't remember their name, I either make up a name for them or avoid calling them by name.
英语中表示“称呼某人的名字”通常使用“call someone by name”,因此应说“avoid calling them by name”,而不是“avoid calling her name”。
