Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Điểm: 60.0Gợi ý: 先直接回答“这取决于名字是否熟悉”,再补充常见名字和不熟悉名字的区别。将“it's termed to some situations”改为更自然的“it depends on the situation”;注意回答应使用准确、自然的搭配。
Ví dụ: It depends on the name. I can usually remember familiar, common names, but I sometimes struggle with unusual or foreign names, especially if I'm not sure how to pronounce them.
How do you remember people's names?
Điểm: 65.0Gợi ý: 回答内容清楚,也提供了两种方法。将“repeat their name for several times”改为“repeat their name several times”,因为“repeat”后不需要“for”;“remark their name”应改为“save/write their name”。另外,用“also save”比“also will remark”更自然。
Ví dụ: I try to use their names in conversation so I can remember them more easily. I also save new acquaintances' names in my phone contacts, which helps me remember who they are.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Điểm: 75.0Gợi ý: 回答有明确感受和应对方式,结构完整。可以把“doesn't care a lot about me”换成更自然的“isn't very interested in me”。“But never mind”与“disappointed”略显矛盾,可用“Still”衔接,并删去口头填充词。
Ví dụ: I feel a little disappointed because I may think they aren't very interested in getting to know me. Still, I don't take it too personally; I just remind them of my name politely.
Do you often forget people's names?
Điểm: 58.0Gợi ý: 先直接回答“通常不会”,再用一个具体情况解释即可。将“In few cases”改为“In a few cases”;“his names”应为“their names”,因为这里泛指某人;“that said names”不自然,可改为“their name”。删去重复表达和口头填充词,并注意用“might”表达不确定的可能性。
Ví dụ: Not very often. I usually remember people's names, but I might forget them if I haven't seen someone for a long time or kept in touch with them.
× I try to talk to them more often, so I can repeat their name for several times and I also will remark their name in my phone contact, which helps me remember their name more quickly.
✓ I try to talk to them more often, so I can repeat their name several times, and I also will remark their name in my phone contact, which helps me remember their name more quickly.
表示“几次”时,several times 前面不需要介词 for。可以直接说 several times。
× In few cases, like if I don't keep in touch with the person, maybe I will forget his names.
✓ In a few cases, like if I don't keep in touch with the person, maybe I will forget his names.
a few 表示“少数几个”,用于肯定语境;few 单独使用通常强调“几乎没有”。这里应在 few 前加 a。
× In few cases, like if I don't keep in touch with the person, maybe I will forget his names.
✓ In a few cases, like if I don't keep in touch with the person, maybe I will forget his name.
这里说的是一个人的名字,因此 name 应使用单数,而不是 names。
× For example, if I haven't seen someone for a long time, I will forget that said names.
✓ For example, if I haven't seen someone for a long time, I will forget that person's name.
that said names 不能用来表示“那个人的名字”。应使用 that person's name,其中 that person 指代前面的 someone,所有格 person's 表示“那个人的”。
