Part 1
考官
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
考生
Yeah, I actually am. I've got a pretty good memory for names specifically. Specifically, say so once I pick up a name in a conversation, it usually sticks with me for a while. I don't struggle with this. Like some of my friends do.
考官
How do you remember people's names?
考生
Oh, normally I'll just repeat their name back to them right after they tell me this simple. Little trick helps me cement the name from in my head and makes the stick much better. It sounds small, but it works surprisingly well for me.
考官
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
考生
To be honest, I'd feel a touch crest fallen if someone forgot my name. Deep down. It makes me wonder whether I fail to leave a lasting impression during our previous Chatt. That said, I totally you call them. Sounds like if they meet new people constantly, names are bound to sleep their mind.
考官
Do you often forget people's names?
考生
Hardly ever. I'm not tend to forget other people's names. I forgot a decent memory. And what's more, I'm quite mindful Whenever I meet someone new, I try to treat their name as something important, so it seldom leaves my mind.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
分数: 55.0建议: 先直接回答“是”或“不是”,不要说“I actually am”,因为问题问的是是否容易记住名字。避免重复使用“specifically”,并修正不完整或不自然的表达,例如“say so once”和“Like some of my friends do”。可以用一个具体对比补充说明,控制在三句左右。
示例: Yes, I find it fairly easy to remember people's names. Once I hear a name in a conversation, it usually sticks with me. Some of my friends are much more likely to forget names than I am.
How do you remember people's names?
分数: 48.0建议: 回答方法的问题时,可以先清楚说明你的做法,再解释它为什么有效。修正“tell me this simple”“from in my head”和“makes the stick”等语法错误;“cement the name”不够自然,可改用“help the name stick”。句子之间要衔接顺畅,避免不完整句。
示例: I usually repeat the person's name shortly after they introduce themselves. For example, I might say, “Nice to meet you, Sarah.” Repeating it helps the name stick in my mind.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
分数: 40.0建议: 表达感受时先给出清晰的情绪,再说明原因,最后补充理解对方的角度。注意“crestfallen”应写成一个词;“Deep down”是残句,“during our previous Chatt”“I totally you call them”和“sleep their mind”也不自然或意思不清。可用“take it personally”“understandable”和“slip their mind”等更合适的表达。
示例: I'd feel a little disappointed if someone forgot my name, especially if we'd met before. I might wonder whether I had made much of an impression. However, I understand that people who meet lots of new faces can easily forget names.
Do you often forget people's names?
分数: 43.0建议: “Hardly ever”已经直接回答了问题,可以接着说明原因。修正“I'm not tend to”和“I forgot a decent memory”等语法及用词错误,可说“I don't tend to forget names”或“I have a good memory for names”。“Whenever”不需要大写;也可以补充一个具体记忆方法,避免重复表达。
示例: Hardly ever. I have a pretty good memory for names, and I make an effort to pay attention when someone introduces themselves. Sometimes I repeat the name in my head, which helps me remember it.
× Specifically, say so once I pick up a name in a conversation, it usually sticks with me for a while.
✓ Specifically, I'd say that once I pick up a name in a conversation, it usually sticks with me for a while.
原句中的“say so”缺少清晰的主语和完整的表达结构。这里可用“I'd say that...”引出观点,并用“that”连接后面的从句。建议检查句子是否包含完整的主谓结构。
× I don't struggle with this. Like some of my friends do.
✓ I don't struggle with this like some of my friends do.
“Like some of my friends do”单独成句时缺少完整的主句,属于句子片段。把它接到前一句后面,就能形成完整的比较结构。
× Oh, normally I'll just repeat their name back to them right after they tell me this simple. Little trick helps me cement the name from in my head and makes the stick much better.
✓ Oh, normally I'll just repeat their name back to them right after they tell me. This simple little trick helps me cement the name in my head and makes it stick much better.
原句把“this simple”错误地放在前一句末尾,并把“Little trick...”另起一句,导致句子结构断裂。应将“This simple little trick”作为下一句的主语。建议留意句号的位置,避免把一个完整的名词短语拆开。
× Little trick helps me cement the name from in my head and makes the stick much better.
✓ This simple little trick helps me cement the name in my head and makes it stick much better.
“Little trick”前缺少限定词;这里用“This”限定“trick”。建议单数可数名词前使用冠词或其他限定词,例如“a trick”或“this trick”。
× ...cement the name from in my head...
✓ ...cement the name in my head...
“in my head”表示把名字记在脑海里,不需要再加“from”。“from in”在这里是多余且不正确的介词组合。建议学习并记忆固定搭配,如“keep something in your mind”。
× ...makes the stick much better.
✓ ...makes it stick much better.
这里需要用代词“it”指代前面的名字;“the stick”会变成“那个棍子”,不能表达“让名字更牢固地留在记忆中”。建议确认代词是否指代前文提到的事物。
× Deep down.
✓ Deep down, it makes me wonder whether I failed to leave a lasting impression during our previous chat.
“Deep down”是表示态度或内心感受的短语,单独使用时不是完整句子。应将它与后面的主句连接,并用逗号隔开。建议避免把修饰短语误写成独立句。
× It makes me wonder whether I fail to leave a lasting impression during our previous Chatt.
✓ It makes me wonder whether I failed to leave a lasting impression during our previous chat.
“during our previous chat”指过去的一次谈话,因此“fail”应使用过去式“failed”。建议根据时间状语判断动作发生的时间,并让动词时态与之保持一致。
× That said, I totally you call them.
✓ That said, I totally understand.
“totally”后面缺少能构成完整谓语的动词,导致原句结构不完整。补上“understand”后,句子可以独立成立。建议检查副词后是否有合适的动词,以及主句是否表达完整。
× I'm not tend to forget other people's names.
✓ I don't tend to forget other people's names.
“tend”是实义动词,否定句通常用助动词“do”构成,不能用“I'm not tend”。一般现在时的正确结构是“I don't tend to...”。建议区分“be动词”的否定结构和普通实义动词的否定结构。
