Part 1
考官
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
考生
No, it isn't. I have difficulty in remembering people's names, but I find it easy to remember people's faces. But it is hard to connect to the the experience with the name. So when I first meet someone it may take some time to know them better complete.
考官
How do you remember people's names?
考生
I remember people's names by associate associating their appearance with their name. This way I find that I can remember their names quickly and I can recall their names when meeting these people. Also, I will try to use their names in conversations oftenly so that I can remember.
考官
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
考生
If we just met then I feel that it is normal because everyone takes time to remember others names. But if we are going if we're hanging out for a long time and the person still doesn't remember my name, I think this is a bit insultive or unpolite.
考官
Do you often forget people's names?
考生
No, although I have difficulty remember people's names, I don't forget their names. Maybe it's because I see all the people I know nearly every day so that I don't have a time or chance to forget it. I think I have quite a good memory. For example, I still remember my friend's name even though we haven't met each other for three years.
Is it easy for you to remember people's names?
分數: 62.0建議: 先直接回答,再用清晰、自然的表达解释原因。注意说“have difficulty remembering”,而不是“have difficulty in remembering”;“connect to the experience with the name”意思不清,可改为“match a face to a name”。结尾的“know them better complete”不自然,可以说明需要多见几次才能记住名字。避免重复使用“But”。
範例: No, I’m not very good at remembering names, although I can usually remember people’s faces. I sometimes find it difficult to match a name to a face when I first meet someone. After talking to them a few times, though, their name usually sticks.
How do you remember people's names?
分數: 66.0建議: 回答切题,也提到了两种记忆方法,但有语法和用词问题:“by associate associating”应改为“by associating”,“oftenly”应改为“often”。“remember their names”和“recall their names”重复,可以精简,并补充一个具体做法,例如把名字和某个明显特征联系起来。
範例: I usually remember names by connecting them with something distinctive about the person, such as their hairstyle or voice. I also try to use their name naturally during our conversation. Repeating it helps me remember it later.
How do you feel when people can't remember your name?
分數: 64.0建議: 观点明确,也对刚认识和相处较久的情况做了区分。表达时需要删去口误“if we are going if we're”,并使用“other people's names”或“others' names”。“insultive”不是自然用法,可说“insulting”;“unpolite”应改为“impolite”。可以简洁说明这种情况让你感觉不受重视。
範例: If we’ve only just met, I don’t mind because it takes time to learn someone’s name. However, if we’ve known each other for a long time and they still forget it, I might feel a little hurt. It could make me feel that they haven’t paid much attention to me.
Do you often forget people's names?
分數: 63.0建議: 回答中有一个逻辑矛盾:先说很难记住名字,随后又说从不忘记。可说明自己刚认识别人时容易忘名字,但熟悉后通常记得住。“difficulty remember”应改为“difficulty remembering”;“I don't have a time or chance to forget it”不自然,建议删去。例子应更具体地证明记忆力,而不是只说记得朋友的名字。
範例: I sometimes forget the names of people I’ve just met, but I rarely forget the names of people I know well. Seeing my friends regularly helps me remember them. For example, I still remember the names of classmates I haven’t seen for several years.
× But it is hard to connect to the the experience with the name.
✓ But it is hard to connect the experience with the name.
名词 experience 前重复使用了定冠词 the。删去一个 the 即可。
× So when I first meet someone it may take some time to know them better complete.
✓ So when I first meet someone, it may take some time to get to know them better.
better 在这里作副词,修饰 know;complete 放在句末不能自然地修饰 know。可以说 get to know someone better,表示“更了解某人”。
× I remember people's names by associate associating their appearance with their name.
✓ I remember people's names by associating their appearance with their name.
介词 by 后面接动词时,动词通常使用 -ing 形式。这里应使用 associating;associate 是说话时的重复或自我修正,应删去。
× This way I find that I can remember their names quickly and I can recall their names when meeting these people. Also, I will try to use their names in conversations oftenly so that I can remember.
✓ This way I find that I can remember their names quickly and I can recall their names when meeting these people. Also, I will try to use their names in conversations often so that I can remember.
often 本身就是副词,不需要加 -ly。应使用 often,而不是 oftenly。
× If we just met then I feel that it is normal because everyone takes time to remember others names.
✓ If we just met, then I feel that it is normal because everyone takes time to remember other people's names.
others 是代词,不能直接放在 names 前表示“其他人的名字”。这里可改为 other people's names,其中 other people 表示“其他人”,people's 表示所属关系。
× But if we are going if we're hanging out for a long time and the person still doesn't remember my name, I think this is a bit insultive or unpolite.
✓ But if we're hanging out for a long time and the person still doesn't remember my name, I think this is a bit insulting or impolite.
insultive 不是这里合适的标准形容词,应使用 insulting,表示“令人觉得受侮辱的”;“不礼貌的”通常说 impolite,而不是 unpolite。are going 是口语中的未完成表达,应删去。
× No, although I have difficulty remember people's names, I don't forget their names.
✓ No, although I have difficulty remembering people's names, I don't forget their names.
difficulty 后面接动词时,动词应使用 -ing 形式。因此 remember 要改为 remembering。
× Maybe it's because I see all the people I know nearly every day so that I don't have a time or chance to forget it.
✓ Maybe it's because I see all the people I know nearly every day, so I don't have time or a chance to forget them.
time 在表示“有时间做某事”时通常作不可数名词,不加 a;chance 是可数名词,单数形式前需要加 a。
× Maybe it's because I see all the people I know nearly every day so that I don't have a time or chance to forget it.
✓ Maybe it's because I see all the people I know nearly every day, so I don't have time or a chance to forget them.
it 是单数代词,但这里指代前文复数的 people's names。应使用复数代词 them。
