Name— Part 1 Báo cáo

Gợi ý: Answer directly and use a natural phrase such as “when I first meet someone.” Avoid “the people's names,” which sounds too specific here. Add a brief reason or example to develop your answer.

Ví dụ: No, I’m not very good at remembering people’s names when I first meet them. I usually need to hear a name a few times before it sticks.

Gợi ý: Clarify the method you use to remember names rather than saying that you forget them and ask again. Use the present tense for a usual habit, and connect your details with a linking phrase such as “so” or “for example.”

Ví dụ: I try to repeat a person’s name soon after I hear it, so I’m more likely to remember it. If I forget, I politely ask them to remind me.

Gợi ý: Use a gerund in the phrase “forgetting names” and describe your feelings with a natural expression, such as “I don’t take it personally.” Explain briefly why you feel that way.

Ví dụ: I don’t take it personally because forgetting names is quite common. As long as the person is polite, it doesn’t bother me much.

Gợi ý: Use the present tense to describe a regular habit, and say “when I meet someone new” rather than “if I met new.” Add a short detail to explain when it happens.

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

× If I met someone new, I forget the name, probably, and I asked their name.

✓ When I meet someone new, I probably forget their name and ask them to repeat it.

The answer describes a usual or repeated situation, so use the present simple meet and ask rather than the past forms met and asked. When is also more suitable than if for a habitual situation.

× I think forget names are normal too.

✓ I think forgetting names is normal too.

The action forget names is the subject of the sentence, so use the gerund form forgetting. This gerund phrase is singular and takes is.

× Because of that I feel not specific emotions.

✓ Because of that, I don't feel any particular emotion.

The negative is awkwardly formed in the original. In standard English, put not after the auxiliary do and use any in a negative sentence: I don't feel any particular emotion.

× Yes, I forget people's names occasionally if I met new.

✓ Yes, I occasionally forget people's names when I meet new people.

This describes a recurring situation, so use the present simple meet rather than the past tense met. Use when to introduce the usual circumstance.

× Yes, I forget people's names occasionally if I met new.

✓ Yes, I occasionally forget people's names when I meet new people.

Meet needs an object in this sentence. Add people after new to make the phrase new people complete.
