PART 1

ย 

NAMES

ย 

ย 

ย 

ANSWERS

ย 

ย 

ย 

Does your name have any special meaning? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Oh wow! Well, my name is a combination of my parentsโ€™ names. Thatโ€™s special simply because I carry the name of my beloved (dearly loved) parents and Iโ€™m their only child whose name is a combination of theirs. Actually, the meaning behind my name is a great ruler. Isnโ€™t it awesome? ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Yes, and the meaning of my name is a gift of God. Well, my parents are devoted Christians so all of us, their children are named based on Christianity. I love my name and I feel so blessed that my parents gave me such a wonderful name.ย  ย  ย 

ย 

Does anyone in your family have the same name as you? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

No, Iโ€™m the only one who has this name. This is special because like I said itโ€™s a combination of my momโ€™s and dadโ€™s names. I love my name because itโ€™s unique and I have never met anyone whose name is the same as mine.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Well, thereโ€™s none but I have one distant relative whose name is the same as my name and we get along (have a friendly relationship) with each other and I can say that we have similarities. Sometimes itโ€™s very funny when our family has a reunion and heโ€™s present because when someone calls our name, we get confused about whom theyโ€™re referring to.ย  ย  ย 

ย 

Are there any names that are more popular than others in your country?ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Well, Iโ€™m not so sure but I can say that womenโ€™s names such as Anne, Rose, and May are pretty (very) common. As for men, Ryan and Daniel are also popular. I have met a lot of people since I was a grader whose names are those names I mentioned. Iโ€™m glad that my name is not of those as I find those names incredibly (very) common.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Yes, as the people in my country are mostly Christians, names that are in the bible are undeniably popular. Names like Mary, John, James, Mathew, and Fatima are common. Well, those names have relevance (importance) in Christianity so itโ€™s no wonder why a lot of parents choose any of those names for their children.ย  ย 

ย 

Are there any differences between how parents in your country name their children now and in the past? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Yes, I believe so because, in the past, parents usually named their children in a form of combining their names just like what my parents did to come up with (to think of something) my name. However, in this new generation, a lot of parents name their children after a celebrity or a character in a movie. Well, I donโ€™t see any problem with that.ย  ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Iโ€™m not sure about this but I think thereโ€™s no difference. The majority of new parents are still using Christian names to name their children like what parents did in the past. And for those who have a different religion, the way they name their offspring (children) is mostly based on their own religion or their beliefs. So, I donโ€™t think thereโ€™s a change in the way new parents name their children as compared to the way parents in the past named their children.ย  ย  ย 

ย 

Is it easy for you to remember peopleโ€™s names? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Unfortunately not, Iโ€™m terrible at remembering names, especially to my acquaintances. Iโ€™ve had some embarrassing experiences where I called someone with a different name by mistake and all I got was a blank stare. But, with my closest friends and family, I canโ€™t be wrong.ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Yes! I can easily remember peopleโ€™s names, I believe thatโ€™s because I pay more attention when Iโ€™m introduced to someone. I donโ€™t want to put myself in an awkward situation where I have to ask the personโ€™s name again after the conversation. Thatโ€™s simply not right! ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

ย 

Acquaintance [noun] โ€“ a person one knows slightlyย 

By mistake [phrase] โ€“ accidentally

Blank stare [noun] โ€“ a look that shows one doesnโ€™t understand what someone has said ย 

How do you remember peopleโ€™s names? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Like Iโ€™ve just said, Iโ€™m bad at it, however, lately, Iโ€™ve been making an effort to remember names by associating their name with their personality or their special physical features like a mole, hairstyle, teeth, and the like. I think thatโ€™s the best way to improve my memory in terms of remembering names. ย 

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

I just simply pay much attention when Iโ€™m introduced or when I introduce myself to people and vice versa. Normally, when you listen carefully to someoneโ€™s introduction, thereโ€™s no reason why you canโ€™t remember their name. And honestly, thatโ€™s being taught in Values education in school.ย ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

ย 

Associate [verb] โ€“ connect someone with somethingย 

And the like [phrase] โ€“ and similar things

Values education [noun] โ€“ a subject in which students are taught about the ideals that society deems important ย  ย 

ย 

How do you feel when people canโ€™t remember your name? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

I donโ€™t really mind at all, but if they keep forgetting my name despite seeing each other often, then Iโ€™ll surely feel bad about it because it simply shows that I donโ€™t really matter. Yes, I accept that Iโ€™m bad at remembering names, however, never have I forgotten my friendsโ€™ names as they all matter to me.

ย 

(Answer 2) ย 

ย 

It depends, in a business setting, if the person Iโ€™m acquainted with or introduced to canโ€™t remember my name, I lose trust in that person. If itโ€™s a casual gathering, I donโ€™t give importance to it. Thatโ€™s just a petty thing.ย  ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

ย I donโ€™t mind [expression] โ€“ I donโ€™t worry; itโ€™s okay with me

Matter [verb as used in the answer] โ€“ be importantย 

Petty [adj.] โ€“ unimportant ย 

ย 

Do you often forget peopleโ€™s names? ย 

ย 

(Answer 1) ย 

ย 

Yes, and I admit that thatโ€™s a bad habit that I really need to change. One of my resolutions this year is to be more mature in life and be more professional when it comes to social gatherings. And I think the first step to achieving that is remembering peopleโ€™s names in both formal and informal gatherings.ย 

ย (Answer 2) ย 

ย 

Not at all! I always make sure to remember the names of my acquaintances because I just enjoy meeting new people. I always believe that if you recognize your acquaintance by their name when your paths cross again, they feel special and they think that youโ€™re a nice person for remembering them. I have had lots of experiences where my acquaintances express their gratitude for remembering them and that makes me happy. ย 

ย 

ย 

LEXICAL RESOURCE

Admit [verb] โ€“ acknowledge

Resolution [noun] โ€“ a decision to do or not to do somethingย 

Paths cross [expression] โ€“ when two peopleโ€™s paths cross, it means they meetย

ย 

Itโ€™s important to prepare some topic vocabulary about names or some collocations or expressions so youโ€™ll be able to express your answers in a more advanced way. Thatโ€™s needed if you want to achieve a higher band score.

However, thatโ€™s not enough, you also need to present yourself confidently before the examiner and make sure to speak your thoughts in a natural way. You can do it! Good luck!
