Part 1

Examiner

Does your name have any special meaning?

Candidate

Yeah, actually my Chinese name contains the character down, which refers to the Peony flower. In Chinese culture, it is also associated with the color red. So my parents choose this name because she wants me to be an energetic and optimistic person, bring positive energy to people around me.

Examiner

How would you choose names for your next generation?

Candidate

I think it depends on the gender. If it is a boy, I would like to choose a name which shows strength and self improvement because I hope he can be an ambitious person. If it is a girl, I would like to prefer something softer like elegance or peace which I think suits her better.

Examiner

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

Candidate

No, not really. In Chinese culture it would be quite strange to share the same name with parents or an elder. So my parents choose the unique name for me and they believe it is not very appropriate or respectful to share the same name.

Examiner

Are there any differences between how Chinese name their children now and in the past?

Candidate

Well, in the past, families often had many siblings, so they often share 1 character and be ordered according to their generations. Nowadays, with so many only children, parents tend to give their children more unique and personalized names.

Examiner

Are there any names that are more popular than others in China?

Candidate

Some names are quite popular in China. For example, in my class there are three people who share the same name. These names usually contain something like a elegance piece, which is more appealing in Chinese culture.

Grammar

Third person singular issue

× So my parents choose this name because she wants me to be an energetic and optimistic person, bring positive energy to people around me.

So my parents chose this name because they want me to be an energetic and optimistic person, bringing positive energy to people around me.

这里主语是复数的“parents”,谓语动词应使用第三人称复数形式“chose”,且时态应与上下文一致使用过去式。代词“she”错误,应改为“they”指代“parents”。动词“bring”应改为现在分词“bringing”,表示伴随状态。

Modal verb usage

× If it is a boy, I would like to choose a name which shows strength and self improvement because I hope he can be an ambitious person.

If it is a boy, I would like to choose a name which shows strength and self-improvement because I hope he will be an ambitious person.

“self improvement”应加连字符变为“self-improvement”,表示复合名词。表达未来愿望时,“hope he can be”应改为“hope he will be”,更符合英语习惯。

Modal verb usage

× If it is a girl, I would like to prefer something softer like elegance or peace which I think suits her better.

If it is a girl, I would prefer something softer like elegance or peace which I think suits her better.

“would like to prefer”表达重复且不自然,应简化为“would prefer”。

Past tense issue

× So my parents choose the unique name for me and they believe it is not very appropriate or respectful to share the same name.

So my parents chose a unique name for me and they believe it is not very appropriate or respectful to share the same name.

这里描述的是过去的动作,动词“choose”应使用过去式“chose”。“the unique name”改为“a unique name”更符合习惯用法。

Singular and plural issue

× Well, in the past, families often had many siblings, so they often share 1 character and be ordered according to their generations.

Well, in the past, families often had many siblings, so they often shared one character and were ordered according to their generations.

“share”应使用过去式“shared”,与前文时态一致。“be ordered”应改为过去式被动“were ordered”。数字“1”应写为英文单词“one”。

Incorrect use of adjectives or adverbs

× Some names are quite popular in China. For example, in my class there are three people who share the same name. These names usually contain something like a elegance piece, which is more appealing in Chinese culture.

Some names are quite popular in China. For example, in my class there are three people who share the same name. These names usually contain something like an elegant piece, which is more appealing in Chinese culture.

“a elegance piece”中“elegance”是名词,需改为形容词“elegant”修饰“piece”,且“a”前应使用“an”因为“elegant”以元音音素开头。
