名字— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer the question directly in the first sentence and avoid repeating the same idea, such as “remembering names” and “memorizing names.” Use the plural form “people’s names” and give one specific reason or example. Also, reduce fillers such as “umm” and use a more natural expression like “pay attention to people’s names.”

範例: Yes, I’m generally good at remembering people’s names. I enjoy meeting new people, so I make a point of paying attention when they introduce themselves. For example, I can usually remember a new classmate’s name after speaking with them once or twice.

建議: Explain the method clearly and organize the list with a linking phrase such as “I usually do this by…” Use correct possessive and plural forms, including “people’s names” and “my friends.” The final sentence is unclear; replace it with a specific example showing how you connect a name to a person’s appearance or personality.

範例: I usually remember people’s names by connecting their names with their faces or personalities. For instance, if someone has a very cheerful personality, I repeat their name in my mind and associate it with their smile. This helps me distinguish between friends who have the same name.

建議: Begin with your feeling instead of giving background information immediately. Use the correct forms “I recently moved to New York,” “my name is a Korean name,” and “people often confuse my name.” Clearly explain why you are not offended, and finish with a complete sentence rather than “they’re not.”

範例: I don’t feel upset when people forget or mispronounce my name. I recently moved to New York to attend college, and my Korean name is unfamiliar to many people. I understand that it may be difficult for them, so I usually pronounce it slowly and help them remember it.

建議: Give a clear direct answer and then contrast your strengths and difficulties using “however” or “although.” Correct the grammar in “I’m usually really good at Korean names” and “English names are harder for me to remember.” Add a concise explanation or example, and avoid repeating “name” without using the plural form when speaking generally.

範例: No, I don’t often forget people’s names. I’m usually good at remembering Korean names because I’m familiar with them; however, English names can be more difficult for me. Since I started college in New York, I’ve met many new people, so I sometimes confuse unfamiliar names.

× I think I'm good at remembering people's name.

✓ I think I'm good at remembering people's names.

The noun names refers to more than one person's name, so it must be plural. The possessive phrase people's is already correct.

× I'm always really focusing on others names.

✓ I always focus on other people's names.

The simple present is more appropriate for a regular habit. Use focus instead of the present continuous form am focusing because this describes something you generally do.

× I'm really good at remembering name, memorizing name.

✓ I'm really good at remembering and memorizing names.

Names is plural because you are talking about people's names in general. Combining the two similar verb phrases also makes the sentence more natural.

× I remember people's name by connecting their face or outfit or their personality.

✓ I remember people's names by connecting their faces, outfits, or personalities with their names.

People's names, faces, outfits, and personalities are general plural nouns, so they need plural forms. The repeated phrase their name is added to make the meaning clear.

× I remember people's name by connecting their face or outfit or their personality.

✓ I remember people's names by connecting their faces, outfits, or personalities with their names.

When you relate one thing to another, use connect something with something. The preposition with correctly shows the relationship between the identifying features and the names.

× There are so many same name in the world in my friends.

✓ There are so many people in the world who have the same names as my friends.

The noun name must be plural when referring to multiple names. The phrase the same names as is used to compare the names of other people with your friends' names.

× There are so many same name in the world in my friends.

✓ There are so many people in the world who have the same names as my friends.

In my friends is not the correct expression for making a comparison. Use the same names as my friends to show that the names are identical to your friends' names.

× I'm in New York recently and I started College in New York.

✓ I recently moved to New York and started college there.

Recently moved describes a completed past action, so the past tense moved is appropriate. College is a common noun here and should not be capitalized.

× My name is Korean name.

✓ I have a Korean name.

Korean name is a singular countable noun phrase, so it needs the article a. The structure I have a Korean name is also more natural for expressing this meaning.

× People often confusing my name and can't pronounce it properly.

✓ People often confuse my name and can't pronounce it properly.

The sentence describes a repeated situation, so use the simple present verb confuse. The form confusing cannot be used as the main verb without an auxiliary verb such as are.

× But it's really OK to me because I understand them and yeah they're not.

✓ But it's really okay with me because I understand them, and they are not doing it intentionally.

The final phrase they are not is incomplete because it does not state what they are not doing. Adding doing it intentionally creates a complete and clear sentence. The natural preposition is okay with me, not okay to me.

× But it's really OK to me because I understand them and yeah they're not.

✓ But it's really okay with me because I understand them, and they are not doing it intentionally.

Use okay with someone to express that a situation does not bother you. Okay to me is not the usual preposition in this expression.

× I usually really good at Korean names.

✓ I am usually really good at remembering Korean names.

The adjective good needs the linking verb am after the subject I. The phrase good at should normally be followed by a noun or a gerund, so remembering is added before Korean names.

× It's more hard to remember English name.

✓ It's harder to remember English names.

Hard has the comparative form harder, not more hard. English names is plural because the statement refers to names in general.

× It's harder to remember English name.

✓ It's harder to remember English names.

English names refers to names in general, so the plural form names is required. A singular countable noun would need an article, such as an English name.
