Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Soruyu doğrudan yanıtlayın ve tekrarları azaltın. “Bad to remember” yerine “bad at remembering” kullanın; ayrıca “people’s names or faces” ifadesi yeterlidir. Bir neden ekleyerek cevabı iki veya üç cümlede tamamlayın.

Ví dụ: No, I’m not very good at remembering people’s names or faces. I have a poor memory, so I often need to meet someone a few times before I remember their name.

Gợi ý: Cevabınızın başındaki “I can remember” ifadesi, önceki cevabınızla çelişiyor; ne zaman hatırlamakta zorlandığınızı açıklayın. “Like” tekrarlarını ve yarım kalan son kısmı çıkarın. İsimleri hatırlamak için kullandığınız yöntemi açıkça belirtin; örneğin ismi tekrarlamak veya sohbet sırasında kullanmak.

Ví dụ: I usually remember a name better if I use it in conversation. If I meet someone several times, I also make a conscious effort to repeat their name in my head.

Gợi ý: Duygunuzu doğrudan ifade edin; burada “I feel nice” yerine “I don’t mind” daha doğal olur. “I don’t feel nothing” gibi çift olumsuz yapıları kullanmayın. Karşı tarafın utanabileceğini ve bu yüzden anlayışlı davrandığınızı kısa, bağlantılı cümlelerle açıklayın.

Ví dụ: I don’t mind very much because I sometimes forget names too. I know people can feel embarrassed, so I try to be understanding and simply remind them of my name if necessary.

Gợi ý: Soruya doğrudan ve doğal biçimde yanıt vermişsiniz, ancak cevap çok kısa. Bir neden veya kısa bir örnek ekleyerek yanıtı geliştirin; yine de gereksiz ayrıntı eklemeyin.

Ví dụ: Yes, I often forget people's names, especially when I meet several new people at once. I usually remember them better after I’ve spoken to them a few times.

✓ Actually, I am very bad at remembering people's names or faces. My memory is not very good; I have trouble remembering names and faces.

The phrase is bad at, not bad to, when describing difficulty with an activity. Use at before a gerund, such as remembering. The original also joins several complete thoughts without punctuation, so separate them into clear sentences.

In standard English, use anything with a negative verb such as don't. Using don't and nothing together creates a double negative. Also, say is the natural verb when referring to saying nothing.
