Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Candidato
I don't think so. I don't believe I have a good memory. It once took me a whole year to put names to faces in high school. Even now at work, it's still not easy. Fortunately, everyone has name cards, so I can check who they are quickly.
Examinador
How do you remember people's names?
Candidato
I don't really use any special tricks, I simply link people's names to their faces, which helps me remember them much faster. And honestly, it makes no difference to me whether the names are English, Japanese or Chinese, I treat them all the same.
Examinador
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Candidato
I might feel a little disappointed since my name is pretty easy to remember, but still, I can totally understand. After all, when I forget someone's name, I feel pretty awkward too.
Examinador
Do you often forget people's names?
Candidato
Not really, I always make a point of remembering names because I think it shows respect. Also, I am learning Japanese, and in Japanese culture you are supposed to tell people by their names, so I try to keep that habit whenever I go.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Pontuação: 88.0Sugestão: 回答直接且有具体经历和工作场景,结构清晰。可避免连续使用“I don't think so”和“I don't believe”表达相近意思;“put names to faces”可以换成更自然明确的“match names to faces”。结尾的名牌细节很有效,可以保留。
Exemplo: No, I’m not very good at remembering people’s names. In high school, it sometimes took me months to match names to faces. At work, I still find it difficult, but name tags help me identify people quickly.
How do you remember people's names?
Pontuação: 80.0Sugestão: 回答提供了记忆方法,但第一句用逗号连接两个完整句子,建议拆开或使用“so”。第二句关于不同语言的名字与问题关联较弱,而且“treat them all the same”意思不够清楚;可以补充一个具体联想方法,例如把名字和外貌特征或初次见面的情境联系起来。
Exemplo: I don’t use any special techniques, but I try to connect each person’s name with their face. For example, I might repeat the name silently when I first meet someone. That little association usually helps me remember it.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Pontuação: 86.0Sugestão: 回答直接,也用自己的经历解释了为什么能理解对方,逻辑自然。可以把“my name is pretty easy to remember”改得更委婉,避免显得过于自我评价;同时减少“pretty”这类口语填充词,让表达更准确。
Exemplo: I might feel a little disappointed at first, but I wouldn’t take it personally. People meet so many others that names can be easy to forget. I sometimes forget names myself, so I know how awkward it can feel.
Do you often forget people's names?
Pontuação: 79.0Sugestão: 回答有明确立场,也说明了重视记住名字的原因。不过,“tell people by their names”表达不自然,应改为“address people by their names”;“whenever I go”指代不清,可以删去或具体说明场景。建议让日本文化这一补充与“记住名字”之间的联系更清楚。
Exemplo: Not often, because I try to remember people’s names as a sign of respect. I’m also learning Japanese, and I’ve learned that using someone’s name when addressing them can sound polite and personal. So I make an effort to remember names when I meet people.
× I don't really use any special tricks, I simply link people's names to their faces, which helps me remember them much faster.
✓ I don't really use any special tricks; I simply link people's names to their faces, which helps me remember them much faster.
逗号不能直接连接两个可以独立成句的部分:“I don't really use any special tricks”和“I simply link people's names to their faces”各自都能构成完整句子。可改用分号,或在两部分之间加上 and 等并列连词。
× And honestly, it makes no difference to me whether the names are English, Japanese or Chinese, I treat them all the same.
✓ And honestly, it makes no difference to me whether the names are English, Japanese or Chinese; I treat them all the same.
“It makes no difference to me...”和“I treat them all the same”是两个完整句子,不能只用逗号连接。这里可用分号,也可以在逗号后加 and。
× Not really, I always make a point of remembering names because I think it shows respect.
✓ Not really. I always make a point of remembering names because I think it shows respect.
这里“Not really”是对问题的简短回答,后面的“I always make a point...”是一个完整句子。用句号分开能避免用逗号不恰当地连接两部分。
