Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly, then give one or two clear reasons or strategies. The sentence is too long and has several ideas joined by “and”; also, “the characters are often complex” is unclear unless you mean Chinese names. Make the subject of “rely on” clear, and use a more natural phrase such as “I tend to remember faces better than names.”

Ví dụ: No, I find it quite difficult to remember people's names. Chinese names can be hard for me to recall, and I tend to remember faces better than names. To help, I sometimes connect a person's name with a distinctive feature.

Gợi ý: The example is relevant, but the opening contrast between needing a reminder and finding some names easy to remember could be smoother. Explain the method you use to remember names, and connect the unusual name or distinctive feature to that method. “A bright haircut” is understandable, though “a brightly coloured hairstyle” sounds more natural.

Ví dụ: I usually repeat a person's name soon after I hear it. If the name is unusual, or the person has a distinctive feature, such as a brightly coloured hairstyle, I connect the two in my mind. That makes the name easier to recall later.

Gợi ý: Your response is understanding and relevant, but “At a time” is not idiomatic, and “suggest them a simple trick” should be “suggest a simple trick to them” or “suggest that they try a simple trick.” The final example is unclear because it does not say what distinctive feature you would connect your name with. Use a natural transition such as “If that happens.”

Ví dụ: I don't mind too much, because I also find it difficult to remember names. If someone forgets mine, I usually just remind them and make light of it. I might suggest that they connect my name with something memorable about me, such as my job or appearance.

Gợi ý: The answer is clear and includes useful strategies, but “the people's names” should be “people's names” or “their names.” Clarify that you review the names before meeting those people again, and make the final reason more precise: the strategies help you address people correctly and avoid asking them to repeat their names.

Ví dụ: Yes, I sometimes forget people's names, especially after meeting several people at once. To help myself remember, I repeat each name quietly and make a note of it afterwards. Before I see those people again, I review the names so I can greet them properly.

× It's not easy for me to remember people's names, because the characters are often complex, especially in Chinese, and usually rely on recognizing faces instead of names, and sometimes I ask for a reminder or associate the name with the memorable features.

✓ It's not easy for me to remember people's names because the characters are often complex, especially in Chinese. I usually rely on recognizing faces instead of names, and sometimes I ask for a reminder or associate a name with a memorable feature.

The original sentence shifts from the subject the characters to the missing subject I in the phrase usually rely. This makes the sentence structure unclear. Use I explicitly when changing the subject, and consider separating the long sentence to make the ideas easier to follow.

× At a time I usually suggest them a simple trick.

✓ In that situation, I usually suggest a simple trick to them.

At a time usually means on one occasion or each time, so it does not fit this context. Use in that situation to refer to the circumstances described. Also, the usual pattern with suggest is suggest something to someone, so say suggest a simple trick to them.

× Yes, I often forget the people's names, so I try to remember them before I meet them again.

✓ Yes, I often forget people's names, so I try to remember them before I meet them again.

The sentence refers to people's names in general, not the names of a specific group already identified in the conversation. In this general meaning, omit the definite article the before people's names.
