Names— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and keep your answer concise and clear. Also, use linking words to connect your ideas smoothly and avoid repeating the same adjective 'beautiful' multiple times.

Example: My name is Gitanjali, which means a collection of beautiful songs or poetry. It is inspired by the famous book 'Gitanjali' written by Rabindranath Tagore, which I find very inspiring.

Suggestion: Your answer is a bit unclear and incomplete. Try to structure your response with a clear topic sentence, followed by specific reasons and examples. Avoid repetition and finish your sentences fully.

Example: I believe a name reflects a person's personality. For my children, I initially chose names like Arav and Harvey, which mean quiet, but I felt these names did not suit their lively nature. Therefore, I renamed them Samrati and Samrat, which mean prosperous, to better match their personalities.

Suggestion: Try to make your answer more coherent by using linking words and avoid filler words like 'uh'. Also, correct grammar mistakes and keep sentences concise.

Example: No one in my family, office, or organization shares my name. It is quite unique. The only time I have seen others with my name was during my graduation exams, where students were arranged alphabetically.

Suggestion: Focus on answering the question directly and avoid unnecessary comments about the examiner. Use clear sentences with linking words to compare past and present naming trends.

Example: Although I am Indian, I have noticed that in the past, people often named their children after gods or lords. Nowadays, many parents prefer unique or modern names, showing a shift in naming trends.

Suggestion: Even if you are not sure, try to give a brief answer with some general information or express your opinion politely to show your communication skills.

Example: I am not very familiar with Chinese naming traditions, but I believe some names might be more popular due to cultural or historical reasons.

× So it's beautiful book.

✓ So it's a beautiful book.

The sentence is missing the indefinite article 'a' before the singular countable noun 'beautiful book'. In English, singular countable nouns require an article or determiner. Here, 'a' is appropriate because the book is being mentioned for the first time.

× Earlier I gave them the name Arav and Harvey which means quiet.

✓ Earlier I gave them the names Arav and Harvey which mean quiet.

The word 'name' should be plural 'names' because two names are given. Also, 'means' should be 'mean' to agree with the plural subject 'names'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue related to plural forms.

× But later on I understand that my kids are taking their that quietness in their nature.

✓ But later on I understood that my kids were taking that quietness in their nature.

The sentence refers to a past realization, so the past tense 'understood' is appropriate instead of present tense 'understand'. Also, 'taking their that quietness' is incorrect; 'taking that quietness' is correct. The verb tense should match the time frame of the action.

× So I have decided to change their name and later on later on I gave them the name Samrati and Samrat.

✓ So I decided to change their names and later on I gave them the names Samrati and Samrat.

The past simple tense 'decided' fits better here than present perfect 'have decided' because the action is completed in the past. Also, 'name' should be plural 'names' because two names are involved.

× More in my family, in my office, in my organization, I cannot see a person similar of my name.

✓ In my family, in my office, and in my organization, I cannot see a person with a name similar to mine.

The phrase 'similar of my name' is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'with' and the phrase should be 'a name similar to mine'. Also, the sentence structure is improved by adding 'and' and proper prepositions.

× There are so many in that room but definitely not my in my near and dear one.

✓ There were so many in that room but definitely not any near and dear ones of mine.

The phrase 'not my in my near and dear one' is ungrammatical. It should be 'not any near and dear ones of mine' to correctly express the meaning. Also, 'were' is used to match past tense context.

× I think this application belongs to Chinese so that's why you're asking for Chinese people.

✓ I think this application belongs to China, so that's why you're asking about Chinese people.

The phrase 'belongs to Chinese' is incorrect; it should be 'belongs to China'. Also, 'asking for Chinese people' should be 'asking about Chinese people' to correctly use the preposition.

× But nowadays people are definitely experimenting and they are trying to take new new names for their kids.

✓ But nowadays people are definitely experimenting and they are trying to choose new names for their kids.

The verb 'take' is not appropriate here; 'choose' is better when referring to selecting names. The tense is present continuous which is correct for 'are trying'. The repetition 'new new' should be corrected to a single 'new'.
