Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly with a natural topic sentence: “It used to be easy, but now it’s more difficult.” Avoid awkward phrases such as “childhood phase,” “I am feeling that I have a bit difficulty,” and “because maybe the workload is high that.” Use a clear linking word such as “because” or “as” to explain the change, and give one specific example of when you forget names.

Ví dụ: It used to be easy for me to remember people’s names, but I find it more difficult nowadays. I think this is because my workload is heavier, so I meet many new people and sometimes mix up their names. However, I can usually remember them if I have a meaningful conversation with them.

Gợi ý: Begin with a direct answer and avoid unclear or unnatural expressions such as “repetitive names,” “worldly or life lively things,” and “connection sort of.” Explain the strategy more specifically: repeat the name, associate it with the person’s appearance or job, or connect it with someone you already know. Use one clear example rather than several vague phrases.

Ví dụ: I usually remember a name by repeating it during the conversation and associating it with something about the person. For example, if someone is a doctor named Lily, I might connect her name with a flower, since lilies are flowers. This makes the name easier to recall later.

Gợi ý: Your answer is relevant and includes a useful contrast, but improve the grammar and naturalness of phrases such as “it depends on person to person” and “somebody who I know for so long.” Say “It depends on how well I know the person” and “someone I’ve known for a long time.” Also distinguish between forgetting your name and mispronouncing it, and use a shorter, clearer sentence structure.

Ví dụ: It depends on how well I know the person. If a close friend forgets my name or mispronounces it, I feel slightly disappointed because we know each other well. However, I don’t mind if a stranger forgets it, especially because my name can be difficult to pronounce.

Gợi ý: You give a clear main answer and an appropriate exception, but the response is one very long sentence with several unnecessary clauses. Use a linking word such as “However” to introduce the exception, and replace the awkward phrase “on the subsequent occasion” with “later.” Also, “etched into my memory” is understandable but slightly dramatic for this everyday question; “I usually remember it” sounds more natural.

Ví dụ: No, I don’t often forget people’s names once I’ve properly met them. However, if I only meet someone briefly and we don’t have much in common, I may forget their name later. I find names much easier to remember when I associate them with an interesting conversation.

× During my childhood phase and up until my graduation I was good at remembering names but currently I am feeling that I have a bit difficulty in remembering the names of people because maybe the workload is high that it makes me a bit confused.

✓ During my childhood and up until my graduation, I was good at remembering names, but currently I feel that I have a bit of difficulty remembering people's names because my workload may be so heavy that it makes me feel confused.

The simple present form feel is more natural for describing a current opinion or state. The phrase am feeling is possible in some contexts, but it is less natural here.

× During my childhood phase and up until my graduation I was good at remembering names but currently I am feeling that I have a bit difficulty in remembering the names of people because maybe the workload is high that it makes me a bit confused.

✓ During my childhood and up until my graduation, I was good at remembering names, but currently I feel that I have a bit of difficulty remembering people's names because my workload may be so heavy that it makes me feel confused.

Difficulty is an uncountable noun, so it cannot follow a bit directly. The correct expression is a bit of difficulty. Also, remember normally takes a direct object, so difficulty remembering is more natural than difficulty in remembering in this sentence.

× During my childhood phase and up until my graduation I was good at remembering names but currently I am feeling that I have a bit difficulty in remembering the names of people because maybe the workload is high that it makes me a bit confused.

✓ During my childhood and up until my graduation, I was good at remembering names, but currently I feel that I have a bit of difficulty remembering people's names because my workload may be so heavy that it makes me feel confused.

The structure high that is incomplete. To express a result, use so + adjective + that, as in so heavy that it makes me feel confused. The sentence also needs clearer punctuation and organization because it contains several connected ideas.

× But some names are repetitive or you know that it would be hard to remember it without any connection sort of.

✓ But some names are repetitive, or, as you know, they would be hard to remember without some sort of connection.

The pronoun it is singular, but it refers to some names, which is plural. Use they or them for a plural noun. Here, they would be hard to remember is the correct structure.

× But some names are repetitive or you know that it would be hard to remember it without any connection sort of.

✓ But some names are repetitive, or, as you know, they would be hard to remember without some sort of connection.

Sort of should be placed before the noun phrase it modifies. The natural expression is some sort of connection, not connection sort of.

× It depends on person to person if it is somebody who I know for so long or is very close to me.

✓ It varies from person to person, depending on whether it is somebody whom I have known for a long time or somebody who is very close to me.

The fixed expression is varies from person to person. The preposition from is required in this expression. Also, depending on whether introduces the two possible conditions more accurately than depends on person to person.

× It depends on person to person if it is somebody who I know for so long or is very close to me.

✓ It varies from person to person, depending on whether it is somebody whom I have known for a long time or somebody who is very close to me.

Use the present perfect have known for an action or relationship that began in the past and continues up to the present. The simple present know does not clearly express this continuing relationship.

× No, I don't once I know the person's name it gets etched into my memory and I don't forget it but this happens only when I do know that if it is somebody whom I met only once then it would be a bit hard to remember the subsequent occasion if there is nothing substantial to remember.

✓ No, I don't. Once I know a person's name, it becomes etched in my memory, and I do not forget it. However, if I have met somebody only once, it can be difficult to remember them on a subsequent occasion if there is nothing substantial to associate with them.

The original answer contains several independent clauses joined together without clear punctuation or connectors. Separating the ideas into shorter sentences makes the structure grammatical and easier to understand. The phrase if I do know that if is also unnecessarily complicated; use a direct conditional structure such as if I have met somebody only once.

× No, I don't once I know the person's name it gets etched into my memory and I don't forget it but this happens only when I do know that if it is somebody whom I met only once then it would be a bit hard to remember the subsequent occasion if there is nothing substantial to remember.

✓ No, I don't. Once I know a person's name, it becomes etched in my memory, and I do not forget it. However, if I have met somebody only once, it can be difficult to remember them on a subsequent occasion if there is nothing substantial to associate with them.

The present perfect have met is appropriate because the past meeting is relevant to the present ability to remember the person. It connects the past experience with the current situation.
