Name— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Answer directly, then explain your memory strategy. Use the plural form “names,” and say “associate a face with a name” rather than “connect the face with their name.” “Create a database” sounds overly technical here; choose a more natural phrase such as “make a mental note.”

Exemplo: Yes, I’m usually quite good at remembering people’s names. I try to associate each name with the person’s face, which helps me remember it later.

Sugestão: Explain your method in a clear sentence and use a linking word to give your reason. “By repeating memorizing” is ungrammatical; say “by repeating the name to myself.” Use “someone’s name,” “disrespectful,” and “prefer to prepare.”

Exemplo: I don’t use any special technique, but I repeat the person’s name to myself after we meet. I think forgetting someone’s name can seem disrespectful, so I try to remember it carefully.

Sugestão: State your feeling naturally with “I feel a little upset,” then explain why. The ending is a sentence fragment; avoid “try to. Remember it?” and complete the idea, for example, “didn’t make an effort to remember it.”

Exemplo: I feel a little disappointed when someone can’t remember my name. I sometimes take it as a sign that they weren’t paying attention or didn’t make an effort to remember it, although I know it can happen to anyone.

Sugestão: Answer the question directly, then give a practical reason or example. After “avoid,” use a gerund: “avoid forgetting” or “avoid it happening.” Use “I know,” not “I knew,” and replace “make preparation” with a natural expression such as “make an effort to remember.”

Exemplo: No, I don’t often forget people’s names because I make an effort to remember them. I know people can feel hurt if I forget, so I repeat a new name to myself or ask politely if I’m unsure.

× Yes, remember other people's name is not a difficult task for me.

✓ Yes, remembering other people's names is not a difficult task for me.

When an action is the subject of a sentence, use the gerund form remembering rather than the base verb remember. Use this pattern: Remembering names is easy for me.

× Yes, remember other people's name is not a difficult task for me.

✓ Yes, remembering other people's names is not a difficult task for me.

People's refers to multiple people, so the plural noun names is needed when speaking generally. Use the plural form for things belonging to people in general.

× I have a tendency to connect the face with their name and create a database for this person.

✓ I have a tendency to connect a person's face with their name and create a database for that person.

The original shifts from the face to their name without clearly showing that both belong to the same person. Use a person's face to establish the connection, then use their consistently to refer to that person.

× I don't have special techniques but by repeating memorizing because I think forgetting others name is unrespectful so I prefer prepare in advance.

✓ I don't have any special techniques; I remember names by repeating them because I think forgetting other people's names is disrespectful, so I prefer preparing in advance.

The phrase but by repeating memorizing does not form a complete, clear contrast with the first clause. State the method directly, such as I remember names by repeating them. Use punctuation to separate the connected ideas.

× I don't have special techniques but by repeating memorizing because I think forgetting others name is unrespectful so I prefer prepare in advance.

✓ I don't have any special techniques; I remember names by repeating them because I think forgetting other people's names is disrespectful, so I prefer preparing in advance.

When referring generally to names belonging to other people, use the plural names. The possessive form other people's shows who the names belong to.

× I don't have special techniques but by repeating memorizing because I think forgetting others name is unrespectful so I prefer prepare in advance.

✓ I don't have any special techniques; I remember names by repeating them because I think forgetting other people's names is disrespectful, so I prefer preparing in advance.

After prefer, use a gerund or a to-infinitive. The original uses the base verb prepare without to; prefer preparing is a correct option.

× My initial response is unhappy because I think forgetting my name means they didn't pay attention to me or try to. Remember it?

✓ My initial response is to feel unhappy because I think forgetting my name means they didn't pay attention to me or try to remember it.

The phrase try to needs a verb after it, and Remember it? is separated from the sentence even though it completes the meaning of try to. Keep remember it in the same clause: try to remember it.

× I don't because I try to avoid it happens.

✓ I don't because I try to avoid it happening.

Avoid is followed by a noun or a gerund, not a finite verb phrase such as it happens. Use avoid it happening or avoid letting it happen.

× I knew people may feel hurt if they found I forgot their name, so if it is necessary I will ask in advance and make preparation.

✓ I know people may feel hurt if they find out I have forgotten their names, so if it is necessary I will ask in advance and make preparations.

The answer describes a general belief and a possible situation, so the present forms know and find are appropriate instead of the past forms knew and found. Use the present perfect have forgotten for an earlier action that has a present consequence.

× I knew people may feel hurt if they found I forgot their name, so if it is necessary I will ask in advance and make preparation.

✓ I know people may feel hurt if they find out I have forgotten their names, so if it is necessary I will ask in advance and make preparations.

Their refers to multiple people in this general statement, so use the plural names. Preparations is also the natural plural form in the expression make preparations.
