Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer the question directly and avoid repeating the same idea. Use “remember a person’s name” rather than “remember them,” and avoid unfinished sentences such as “But if.” Give one clear reason or example, and check pronoun agreement: “if that person tells me their name.”

Ví dụ: Yes, I’m usually quite good at remembering people’s names. When I meet someone new, I repeat their name during the conversation, which helps me remember it later. As a result, I can normally address them by name the next time we meet.

Gợi ý: Provide a specific method instead of mainly repeating that you can recall names immediately. Avoid redundant linking phrases such as “Besides other than that,” and use the plural “people’s names.” Develop your answer with one practical technique and a brief explanation of why it works.

Ví dụ: I usually repeat a person’s name immediately after meeting them, such as saying, “Nice to meet you, Sarah.” I also try to connect the name with something distinctive about the person, like their job or appearance. These simple techniques make the name easier to remember later.

Gợi ý: State your feeling clearly at the beginning, because the answer currently becomes difficult to follow and contains several unclear phrases, such as “I don't feel often dead” and “being concentration.” Use “I don’t feel offended” or “I don’t take it personally,” and explain that pronunciation difficulties may be the reason. Avoid suggesting that people are ignoring someone unless you clearly connect it to the situation.

Ví dụ: I don’t usually feel offended when people forget my name. My name is quite unusual, and some people find it difficult to pronounce, so I understand why they may not remember it immediately. I normally just introduce myself again and continue the conversation.

Gợi ý: Give a more concise and confident answer, and avoid repeating “forget” several times. Say “I feel guilty when I can’t remember someone’s name” rather than “I feel guilty by not being able to remember their name.” Correct “I forget first names most often,” and add a specific strategy, such as asking politely or associating the name with a detail.

Ví dụ: Yes, I sometimes forget people’s first names, especially when I meet several new people at once. I feel a little embarrassed, so I usually ask politely, “Could you remind me of your name?” Before meeting them again, I try to associate their name with a personal detail to help me remember it.

× Most of the time when I make new friends, if that person he or she tells me her name, then I can easily remember them the next time when I try to address them.

✓ Most of the time, when I make new friends, if a person tells me their name, I can easily remember it the next time I meet them.

The pronouns are inconsistent: a person is singular, but them refers to the name rather than the person. Use their for the person and it for the name. Also, meet them is more natural than the longer phrase try to address them in this context.

× Most of the time when I make new friends, if my if that person he or she tells me her name, then I can easily remember them the next time when I try to address them, I can address them with their names.

✓ Most of the time, when I make new friends and someone tells me their name, I can easily remember it and address them by name the next time I meet them.

The original sentence contains repeated and incomplete structures, such as if my if, and it joins too many clauses awkwardly. Combine the ideas into one clear sentence with a logical subject, verb, and object.

× I can address them with their names.

✓ I can address them by name.

The standard expression is address someone by name, not address someone with their name.

× But if.

✓ But if they do not tell me their names, I may not remember them.

But if is an incomplete subordinate clause. An if-clause must be followed by a complete condition and usually a main clause.

× I do not really use any special techniques or any methods to remember people's name from time to time.

✓ I do not really use any special techniques or methods to remember people's names.

The plural possessive phrase people's refers to more than one person, so the noun should also be plural: people's names. Also, techniques or methods already expresses the intended plural meaning.

× In my opinion, I think it is quite normal to not being able to remember my name.

✓ In my opinion, I think it is quite normal not to be able to remember my name.

After to, use the base form of the verb, be, not the -ing form being. The correct infinitive structure is not to be able to remember.

× So I think people find it difficult to remember my name in that way other apart from that.

✓ So I think people find it difficult to remember my name. Apart from that, I do not often feel bad about it.

The original sentence combines two separate ideas with the unclear phrase in that way other apart from that. Separate the ideas into two complete sentences and use apart from that at the beginning of the second sentence.

× I do not feel often dead, but I do know some people feel like that.

✓ I do not often feel bad about it, but I do know that some people feel that way.

The frequency adverb often normally comes before the main verb feel, not after it. The phrase feel that way is also the natural expression for referring to the feeling just mentioned.

× They are ignoring you because they cannot remember your name.

✓ They feel that people are ignoring them because people cannot remember their names.

The original sentence changes from talking about some people to addressing the listener with you and your. Keep the pronouns consistent by using them and their when referring to those people.

× They are ignoring you because they cannot remember your name.

✓ They feel that they are being ignored because people cannot remember their names.

If the intended meaning is that other people ignore them, they should be the receiver of the action. Use the passive form are being ignored rather than the active form are ignoring.

× But I think it is just all about being concentration to the person you are talking to.

✓ But I think it is all about concentrating on the person you are talking to.

After about, use a gerund, concentrating. Concentration is a noun, so it cannot function as the verb in this structure.

× It is all about being concentration to the person you are talking to.

✓ It is all about concentrating on the person you are talking to.

The correct preposition after concentrate is on, not to. The fixed expression is concentrate on someone or something.

× I do feel guilty by not being able to remember their name.

✓ I do feel guilty about not being able to remember their names.

Use guilty about to introduce the action or situation that causes the feeling. Since their refers to people's names in general, names should be plural.

× I do feel guilty by not being able to remember their name, so I have to ask them several times when I meet them again.

✓ I do feel guilty about not being able to remember their names, so I have to ask them several times when I meet them again.

The plural pronoun their requires the plural noun names when referring to multiple people's names.

× I think I do forget first name most often.

✓ I think I most often forget people's first names.

The frequency adverb most often is placed before the main verb forget. The noun phrase should be people's first names because the speaker is talking about the names of multiple people.

× I think I do forget first name most often.

✓ I think I most often forget people's first names.

First name needs a possessive determiner and should be plural because the speaker is referring to the first names of different people: people's first names.

× First name most often.

✓ I most often forget people's first names.

The original phrase has no subject or finite verb, so it is not a complete sentence. Add the subject I and the verb forget to form a complete clause.
