名字— Part 1 評分報告

建議: Answer directly, then give one clear example. Replace “at that day” with “that day” and “asked her name” with “I asked her name.” Avoid restarting the sentence (“a girl, a new girl”) and make the timeline clear. Use “I need to work on that” rather than “I need to improve that.”

範例: Not really. I meet new people almost every day, so I sometimes struggle to remember their names. For example, a new student joined my class recently, and although I asked her name, I had forgotten it by the time I got home. I’d like to get better at remembering names.

建議: Explain a specific method you use, such as repeating a person's name or connecting it with a detail about them. Use “so I can” rather than “so I could” for a general habit, and say “associate their names with their faces.” The repeated point about names not being relevant weakens the answer; focus on the method instead.

範例: I try to use a new person's name a few times during our conversation, because that helps me remember it. I also connect the name with their face or something memorable about them. If I’m unsure, I’ll politely ask them to remind me.

建議: Give a direct, measured response and explain why you feel that way. Avoid repeated words and fillers, and use “if I know your name but you don’t know mine.” “Mortified” is very strong here; “a little disappointed” or “slightly hurt” is more natural. Replace “act really grammatic” with a clear phrase such as “take it too personally.”

範例: I might feel a little disappointed, especially if we’ve met several times. However, I understand that people meet many others and may simply forget. I try not to take it too personally.

建議: Make the contrast clear: you tend to forget names soon after meeting someone, but remember people you know well. Use the plural “people’s names” and say “people I’ve just met.” The last sentence is unclear; explain that you ask someone to repeat their name if you forget it. Avoid repeating “know their name.”

範例: Yes, I sometimes forget the names of people I’ve just met, although I usually remember the names of people I know well. If I forget someone’s name, I try to ask them politely to remind me. Using their name in conversation also helps me remember it.

× For example, at that day in my class, a girl, a new girl came in and asked her name and somehow when I went home and I forgot her name.

✓ For example, that day in my class, a new girl came in and asked her name. Somehow, when I went home, I forgot her name.

Use that day without the preposition at. At is used with specific clock times or certain locations, while that day functions as a time expression on its own.

× For example, at that day in my class, a girl, a new girl came in and asked her name and somehow when I went home and I forgot her name.

✓ For example, that day in my class, a new girl came in and asked her name. Somehow, when I went home, I forgot her name.

The original sentence combines several ideas without clear boundaries, and the repeated and makes the sequence difficult to follow. Use a comma after the introductory time clause and separate the ideas into clear sentences.

× Well, I would feel mortified because if you if you if I know your name and you don't know so it's kind of disappointing because uh how come you don't know my name?

✓ Well, I would feel mortified if I knew your name and you didn't know mine. It would be disappointing because I might wonder why you didn't know my name.

The original sentence starts a conditional clause but does not complete it clearly, and the repeated words interrupt the sentence structure. State the condition and its result in a complete sentence. In a hypothetical situation, use the past forms knew and didn't know with would.

× But it's not really relevant to everyone to know my name, so I shouldn't act really grammatic in this way.

✓ But it's not really important for everyone to know my name, so I shouldn't act so dramatically about it.

Grammatic is not the appropriate adjective here. Dramatically is the adverb needed to describe how someone acts. The phrase so dramatically is a natural way to express the intended meaning.

× Well, I forget people's name who I've met just now, but not the person who I already know.

✓ Well, I forget the names of people I've just met, but not the names of people I already know.

People is plural, so the speaker should refer to their names, not their name. The second part also refers generally to multiple people, so people is more consistent than the person.

× So I would make sure that I know their name and learn their name and ask the other new people. You know their name.

✓ So I make sure I learn new people's names by asking them what their names are.

The original repeats the same idea and ends with a separate sentence that does not connect clearly to the preceding thought. Combine the ideas into one complete sentence and state the method directly.
