Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, but correct the article and tense. Say “a person’s name” rather than “person’s name,” and use the present perfect or simple present consistently. Also, “even if it’s the first time we meet” is more natural than “the first time we met each other.”

Ví dụ: Yes, it’s quite easy for me to remember people’s names. I have a good memory, so I can usually remember a person’s name even after meeting them only once. This is especially useful when I meet new colleagues or classmates.

Gợi ý: The main idea is clear, but the answer repeats “I will always” and “recall.” Avoid repeating the same point and use more specific details about your memory strategy. Also, replace “his name” with “their name” when speaking generally, and use “even if we haven’t met for a long time” rather than “we haven’t met each other for a very long time.”

Ví dụ: I usually remember people’s names because I try to repeat the name when I meet someone. I also connect the person’s name with their appearance or something we talked about. As a result, I can often remember their name even after several months.

Gợi ý: This is a clear and well-developed response with a natural opinion and explanation. However, “I perfectly get it” is slightly unnatural; use “I completely understand.” Also, change “when you can’t recall someone’s name” to “when someone can’t recall my name” so that the pronouns match the question. “If someone forgot my name” is acceptable, but “if someone forgets my name” is more natural for a general situation.

Ví dụ: I don’t feel offended at all. I completely understand that people may forget a name when they are busy or have a poor memory. If someone forgets my name, I simply introduce myself again and continue the conversation.

Gợi ý: The answer is direct and includes a relevant example. Correct “my classmates name” to “my classmates’ names” or “one of my classmates’ names,” and add a comma after “memory.” The phrase “classmates’ names from primary school” is more natural than the singular form if you mean several people. Avoid repeating “remember” and “recall” too closely.

Ví dụ: No, I rarely forget people’s names. I have a good memory, and I can still remember the names of several classmates from primary school, even though I haven’t spoken to them for more than ten years. I think remembering names helps me build friendly relationships.

× Thanks to my good memory, I always remember person's name even if it's the first time we met each other.

✓ Thanks to my good memory, I always remember people's names, even if it's the first time we have met each other.

The question refers to people's names in general, so the plural possessive form people's names is more appropriate than the singular person's name. The plural form also matches the general meaning of the sentence.

× Thanks to my good memory, I always remember person's name even if it's the first time we met each other.

✓ Thanks to my good memory, I always remember people's names, even if it's the first time we have met each other.

Use the present perfect have met because the sentence describes an experience up to the present moment. The past simple met is less appropriate after it's the first time.

× Even if we haven't met each other for a very long time, or even if we have just met each other, I will always, I will always recall his name.

✓ Even if we haven't met each other for a very long time, or even if we have just met each other, I will always, I will always recall their name.

The antecedent is a person, which does not specify gender. The gender-neutral pronoun their is appropriate when referring to one person whose gender is unknown or irrelevant. Avoid repeating the same phrase when speaking by saying I will always recall their name once.

× For instance, I still remember my classmates name from primary school even though we haven't spoken to each other for 10 years.

✓ For instance, I still remember my classmates' names from primary school, even though we haven't spoken to each other for 10 years.

Because classmates refers to more than one classmate, the plural possessive form classmates' is needed. Names should also be plural because each classmate can have a different name. The apostrophe comes after the s for a plural possessive.
