Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it. Recite(背诵) and repeat in conversation: When you hear a person's name,repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced. Ask the other person to recite and repeat: You can let other people help you remember their names. After you've been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort(努力) you're making to learn their names. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate(集中精神) on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
