Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Thí sinh
Yes, it is. I think the main reason is that I am a teacher. I have to remember a lot of different names and I have developed myself this kind of ability to remember people's names. So personally for me, it's easy to do so.

How do you remember people's names?
Thí sinh
Well, I often use some techniques to assist me. For example, I use notes and I connect the names with people's faces, and I also repeat some names that are hard to remember.

How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Thí sinh
Well, when people can't remember my name, I think it's pretty normal in daily lives because some names are just hard for people to get a deep impression. So if people don't remember my name, I will tell them.

Do you often forget people's names?
Thí sinh
No, I don't. I always keep people's names in my mind and I always know what their names are when I meet them, so it's not very difficult for me to remember people's names.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
Điểm: 76.0Gợi ý: 回答直接,也用教师工作解释了原因。不过,“developed myself this kind of ability”表达不自然,且最后一句重复了“容易记住名字”的意思。可以改用“developed a good memory for names”,并补充一个具体场景,例如记住新学生的名字。
Ví dụ: Yes, I’d say so. As a teacher, I meet a lot of students, so I’ve developed a good memory for names. I usually try to learn each student’s name during the first few classes.
How do you remember people's names?
Điểm: 82.0Gợi ý: 回答包含了具体方法,内容切题。“use some techniques to assist me”略显正式和笼统;后面的多个方法可以用更自然的表达连接,并说明这些方法如何帮助你记忆。
Ví dụ: I usually link a person’s name to their face, which makes it easier to recall later. If the name is particularly difficult, I write it down and repeat it a few times.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
Điểm: 73.0Gợi ý: 表达了理解和应对方式,但“in daily lives”和“get a deep impression”不自然;“I will tell them”也可以更具体地说成“礼貌地提醒他们”。建议用自然措辞简洁说明自己的感受和反应。
Ví dụ: I don’t take it personally, because it’s quite common to forget someone’s name, especially after meeting them only once. I just politely remind them of my name.
Do you often forget people's names?
Điểm: 68.0Gợi ý: 回答立场明确,但“always”重复且过于绝对,后半部分也反复表达不容易忘记名字。可以适当承认偶尔会忘记,再给出一个简短原因或记忆方法,让回答更自然可信。
Ví dụ: Not very often, although I sometimes forget a name if I’ve only met someone briefly. I usually remember it better if I connect it with the person’s face or something we talked about.
× I have to remember a lot of different names and I have developed myself this kind of ability to remember people's names.
✓ I have to remember a lot of different names, and I have developed this kind of ability to remember people's names.
“Develop”后面直接接表示被培养或发展的能力,不需要反身代词“myself”。这里使用“developed myself this kind of ability”会造成宾语结构错误。建议说“developed this kind of ability”;如果想强调自我提升,可以说“developed my ability”或“improved my ability”。
× Well, when people can't remember my name, I think it's pretty normal in daily lives because some names are just hard for people to get a deep impression.
✓ Well, when people can't remember my name, I think it's pretty normal in daily life because some names are just hard for people to remember.
“In daily life”是表示“在日常生活中”的固定表达,此处泛指日常生活,应使用单数“life”,而不是“lives”。此外,“hard for people to get a deep impression”搭配不自然;改成“hard for people to remember”能清楚表达“名字难以记住”。
