Names— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Сократите и упростите ответ, говорите более последовательно и исправьте грамматические ошибки. Начните с прямого утверждения, затем дайте краткое объяснение и пример. Избегайте лишних слов и повторов (например, "I fell found"). Уделите внимание правильному использованию времен и артиклей.

例: Yes. My name means "happiness." When I was a child I learned that this was the most popular meaning. It always reminds my family to stay positive, and I feel proud of it.

提案: Сформулируйте основной тезис ясно и используйте связки для объяснения критериев выбора. Уберите противоречивые и лишние слова (например, "action and protest") и замените их конкретными факторами (традиция, звучание, значение). Дайте 1–2 конкретных шага, которые вы предпримете.

例: I would choose a name carefully, balancing tradition and modernity. First, I would discuss ideas with my husband and my mother, then we would consider the name's meaning and how it sounds with our surname.

提案: Будьте конкретнее и избавьтесь от пауз и неуверенных вставок ("umm", "uh"). Ответьте прямо: есть или нет, и приведите короткое объяснение или пример. Используйте связки для плавного перехода от ответа к объяснению.

例: No, nobody in my family has the same name as me. I come from a large family and everyone has a different name, which makes it easy to tell people apart.

提案: Не начинайте с извинений или заявлений о трудности. Дайте чёткое сравнение: укажите конкретные изменения (например, выбор в пользу значений, заимствованных слов, упрощение иероглифов). Используйте связки ("In the past... Nowadays...") и приводи примеры для ясности.

例: In the past, Chinese names often reflected family traditions and classical meanings. Nowadays many parents prefer simpler or modern-sounding names and sometimes ask children for their opinion.

提案: Не отказывайтесь отвечать полностью из-за отсутствия личного опыта. Предложите обоснованное предположение или обобщение на основе общих знаний и используйте условные формы ("might", "probably"). Дайте пример известных популярных имён или тенденций, даже если это предположение.

例: I haven't lived in China, but I think there are popular names that reflect current trends. For example, short and easy-to-pronounce names might be common, and some parents choose names that mean success or health.

× So of course when I was a child I fell found a lot of information about meaning of my name and one of the most important and popular was happiness.

✓ So of course when I was a child I found a lot of information about the meaning of my name, and one of the most important and most common meanings was 'happiness'.

The student used both 'fell' and 'found', where 'fell' is incorrect. The correct past form is 'found' (past simple). Also 'meaning of my name' needs the definite article 'the'. Improve clarity by adding 'most common meanings' and quoting the meaning. Suggestion: use past simple consistently and include articles where needed.

× And my name is happiness actually.

✓ My name actually means 'happiness'.

The original uses 'is' awkwardly to express meaning. Use 'means' to indicate what a name signifies. This is a semantic verb choice rather than a modal, but within provided list it best fits incorrect verb usage relating to meaning. Suggestion: use 'means' for definitions.

× So I explained the chosen name for the next generation is a very crucial and very thrilling action and protest that I would approach but by balancing and modernity.

✓ Choosing a name for the next generation is a very important and exciting decision that I would make by balancing tradition and modernity.

The original sentence has poor word order and wrong word choices ('explained', 'action and protest'). Use the gerund 'Choosing' to name the activity, 'important and exciting decision' is natural, and 'balancing tradition and modernity' expresses the intended idea. Suggestion: use clear noun phrases and common collocations like 'make a decision' and 'tradition and modernity'.

× And I think that firstly I ask help for my husband and my mother and yeah.

✓ I think that first I would ask for help from my husband and my mother.

Original mixes tenses and word order; 'ask help for' is incorrect preposition usage. Use 'would' to express hypothetical future action and 'ask for help from' or 'ask my husband and mother for help'. Suggestion: use 'would' for hypothetical plans and correct preposition 'for' after 'ask'.

× So to be honest, I have a large family and that's why umm, I'm not really know uh have the same name as me, but in my family we have different names which can support us.

✓ To be honest, I have a large family, so I'm not sure if anyone has the same name as me, but in my family we have different names that help us tell each other apart.

Problems: 'I'm not really know' is wrong verb form; should be 'I'm not sure' or 'I don't really know'. 'Have the same name as me' needs subject 'anyone' and correct verb 'has'. Also 'which can support us' is unnatural—use 'help us tell each other apart'. Suggestion: use 'anyone has the same name as me' and 'I'm not sure'.

× It's very difficult question, but I think that maybe a Chinese name.

✓ That's a very difficult question, but I think Chinese names in the past could be harder to understand.

Sentence fragments and awkward phrasing. 'It's very difficult question' needs article 'a' and 'maybe a Chinese name' is incomplete. Combine with next clause for clarity. Suggestion: form a complete sentence and connect ideas.

× In the past, uh could be more difficult to understand, but now, uh, Modern Family in China will prefer to ask their children.

✓ In the past, names could be more difficult to understand, but now modern families in China often choose simpler names or ask their children about preferences.

Original lacks subject for 'could be' and misuses 'will prefer to ask their children' which is unclear. Use 'could be' with subject 'names'. 'Modern family' should be plural 'modern families' and 'often choose' fits better than 'will prefer to ask'. Suggestion: use clear subjects and appropriate tense/aspect for general statements.

× So to me it's very different, difficult question for understanding because I have never been in China and I don't know which names are offering in this country.

✓ To me it's a difficult question because I have never been to China and I don't know which names are popular there.

Errors: 'very different, difficult question for understanding' is awkward; use 'a difficult question'. Preposition 'in' after 'been' should be 'to'. 'Which names are offering' is incorrect; use 'which names are popular' or 'used'. Suggestion: use 'been to China' and 'which names are popular there'.

× That's why I don't know how can I answer this question.

✓ That's why I don't know how to answer this question.

Incorrect word order for indirect question: 'how can I answer' should be 'how to answer' after 'I don't know'. Suggestion: use 'I don't know how to + verb' structure.
