Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly in the first sentence, then add one specific reason. Avoid repeating “a lot of people” and “people and individuals.” Use clear punctuation and natural collocations, such as “I have difficulty remembering names” and “I meet many people every day.” The phrase “everything that has been going on throughout the day” is unnecessarily long; simply say “everyone I meet.”

Ví dụ: Not really. I have difficulty remembering people’s names because I meet so many people at work every day. I can usually remember their faces, but I sometimes forget their names.

Gợi ý: Begin with a complete sentence and use the natural expression “associate a name with a face” rather than “connect people’s names with their faces.” “Place a name to a person” is incorrect; say “put a name to a face” or “remember who they are.” Also, “on different occasions” is more natural than “at different occasions.”

Ví dụ: I usually associate a person’s name with their face or with the occasion when I met them. For example, if I meet someone at a work event, I repeat their name during the conversation. However, I may forget it if I only meet them once.

Gợi ý: Make the contrast easier to follow by dividing the answer into two or three shorter sentences. The opening phrase is grammatically unclear; say “If it is someone I have only met a few times.” Avoid the awkward phrase “a friend or something they have a closer relationship to,” and use “someone close to me.” Add a clear linking word such as “However.”

Ví dụ: If it is someone I have only met a few times, I do not take it personally. However, I would feel hurt if a close friend or colleague forgot my name because it might make me feel unimportant or left out.

Gợi ý: The first two sentences are clear, but “Those moments that do is often associated” is grammatically incorrect and difficult to understand. Replace it with “When I do remember a name, it is usually because...” Also, avoid repeating “remembering people’s names” and “remembering names”; give one concise explanation and a specific example or result.

Ví dụ: Yes, quite often. I have difficulty remembering names because I meet many people and have a lot going on during the day. I usually remember a name when it is connected to a particular event or conversation.

× I wouldn't say that I have an easy time remembering other people's names I work with a lot of people and I see a lot of people and individuals each day so it's hard for me to remember everything that has been going on throughout the day, including names, outfits or even faces.

✓ I wouldn't say that I have an easy time remembering the names of the people I work with. I work with a lot of people and see many individuals each day, so it's hard for me to remember everything that has happened throughout the day, including their names, outfits, and even faces.

The original contains several independent clauses joined without appropriate punctuation, creating a run-on sentence. Divide the ideas into separate sentences and use a complete phrase such as the names of the people I work with.

× try to connect people's names with their faces or an occasion where I met them because then it's easier for me to remember what they are called. Otherwise it's very hard for me to place a name to a person if I haven't seen them several times or at different occasions.

✓ I try to connect people's names with their faces or with an occasion when I met them because then it's easier for me to remember what they are called. Otherwise, it's very hard for me to associate a name with a person if I haven't seen them several times or on different occasions.

The expression place a name to a person is not idiomatic. Use associate a name with a person. Also, the correct preposition is on in the expression on different occasions.

× As a person that I've seen just on some occasions, I don't feel bad about it or feel neglected, but if it's a colleague or a friend or something they have a closer relationship to and they would forget my name, I would feel very sad about it and feel a bit left out to be honest.

✓ If it's someone I've seen only a few times, I don't feel bad or neglected. However, if it's a colleague or a friend—someone I have a close relationship with—and they forget my name, I feel very sad and a bit left out, to be honest.

The opening phrase As a person that I've seen... does not connect correctly to the rest of the sentence. The conditional structure is clearer when it begins with If it's someone.... The original also contains an incomplete and confusing phrase before they would forget my name, so the information should be reorganized into a clear sentence.

× Those moments that do is often associated with an occasion or something that happened with that person.

✓ The times when I do forget someone's name are often associated with an occasion or something that happened with that person.

The subject times is plural, so the verb must be are, not is. The phrase when I do forget someone's name also makes the intended meaning and grammatical structure clearer.
