Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
●Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person's name， repeat it. __1__
F
You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
●Ask the other person to recite and repeat. __2__
D
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 you're making to learn their names.
●__3__
A
Admitting that you can't remember someone's name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy and say， "I'm working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"
●Use associations (聯(lián)想). __4__
G
For example， you could make a mental note "Wang Cheng—tall， black hair." To reinforce (加強) your associations， write them on a small card as soon as possible.
●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people， concentrate on remembering just two or three names. __5__

Few of the people in such situations expect you to remember all their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
