Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: 先直接回答“容易还是不容易”,再补充说明你具体在哪一步遇到困难。注意主谓一致和句子结构:可以说“Names are easy for me to remember, but I find it difficult to match a name with a face.”避免重复使用“uh”。
Exemplo: Not really. I can usually remember people's names, but I sometimes find it difficult to match a name with a face, especially when I meet several people at once.
How do you remember people's names?
Pontuação: 48.0Sugestão: 说明记忆方法是个好思路,但要把步骤说清楚。“by associated with”应改为“by associating”;“the name have”应改为“the name has”。“a chief”含义不清楚,如果你是指名字中的某个汉字或部分,可以具体说明,并举一个容易理解的例子。
Exemplo: I remember names by associating them with a person's appearance or personality. For example, if someone's name includes a character that means “bright,” I picture them with a cheerful smile. That mental image helps me remember the name.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Pontuação: 38.0Sugestão: 目前没有直接回答“你有什么感受”,而且“two square”不够清楚。先说自己的感受,再补充名字或长相带来的联想。注意不要用“Because”开头后又接“so”;可以说“Since my name has two characters, ...”。
Exemplo: I feel a little disappointed, but I don't take it personally because people meet so many others. My Chinese name has two characters, and I have a rather square-shaped face, so I sometimes joke that people can remember me by that combination.
Do you often forget people's names?
Pontuação: 58.0Sugestão: 回答内容切题,也提到了应对方法。注意“embarrassing”是“令人尴尬的”,而“embracing”意思不同;“a friend name”应改为“a friend's name”。可以用“so”或“if”连接原因和解决办法,避免句子过长。
Exemplo: Yes, I sometimes forget people's names, especially at parties where I meet a lot of people. I feel embarrassed when I forget a friend's name, so I try to repeat it when we first meet. If I still can't remember it, I ask a friend for help.
× Yes, uh, the name is easy to remember, but I uh difficult to connect the name and the person.
✓ Yes, the name is easy to remember, but it is difficult for me to connect a name with a person.
后半句缺少谓语动词。“I difficult”不能构成完整句子。可以补上 be 动词,改为“it is difficult for me”,或使用“ I find it difficult”。
× I remember the name by associated with their characteristic.
✓ I remember people's names by associating them with their characteristics.
介词“by”后面应接动名词,因此“associated”应改为“associating”。改写后,“them”指代复数的“names”,“characteristics”也与泛指的多个人的特征相一致。
× Just like if the name have a chief, I will imagine the chief and his appearance.
✓ For example, if the name has a chief, I will imagine the chief and his appearance.
“the name”是第三人称单数主语,一般现在时中谓语动词“have”应改为“has”。另外,“For example”可用于引出例子,避免用“Just like if”开头造成结构不自然。
× Because of my name has a two square, so I think the people will connect the two square with my face.
✓ Because my name has two squares, I think people will connect the two squares with my face.
“because of”后面应接名词或名词短语,不能直接接完整句子;这里后面是“My name has...”,所以应使用“because”。
× Because of my name has a two square, so I think the people will connect the two square with my face.
✓ Because my name has two squares, I think people will connect the two squares with my face.
“two”后面应接可数名词复数,因此“square”要改为“squares”。另外,“a”不能与“two”一起修饰复数名词,应删除。
× Yes, it is so embracing to me if I don't remember a friend name in some meeting or party, so I try to remember them and if I forget I will ask my partner or other friends.
✓ Yes, it is embarrassing for me if I don't remember the name of a friend at a meeting or party, so I try to remember people's names, and if I forget one, I will ask my partner or other friends.
表示参加会议或聚会时,通常用介词“at”,因此“in some meeting”应改为“at a meeting”。
× Yes, it is so embracing to me if I don't remember a friend name in some meeting or party...
✓ Yes, it is embarrassing for me if I don't remember the name of a friend at a meeting or party...
“embracing”通常表示“拥抱的”或“欣然接受的”,不适合表达忘记朋友名字时的感受。这里应使用“embarrassing”(令人尴尬的)。若描述自己的感受,也可以说“I feel embarrassed”。
× ...so I try to remember them and if I forget I will ask my partner or other friends.
✓ ...so I try to remember people's names, and if I forget one, I will ask my partner or other friends.
原句中的“them”指代不清,而且后面“if I forget”没有说明忘记什么。改为“forget one”,其中“one”指代前文的“a name”,使代词指向明确。
