Does your name have any special meaning?
Candidate
In terms that I don't think so because since I was born my parents didn't told me anything, but I find my name Chris a very unique one because it has no bowels in it. So that's the special thing that it has.

Honestly, I have uh, two kids now so I chose their name in the Bible because I love reading verses so I want their names to to be that way so that they will be also be blessed always.

Does anyone in your family have the same name as you?
Candidate
Honestly no, because my name is something unique. It's KHRYSS so it has no bubbles in it as I've heard and meet my families between my mother's side or father's side. They have they they had no name like that.
Examiner
Are there any differences between how Chinese name their children now and in the past?
Candidate
Maybe yes, because the names before, as I've observed, they like very difficult to to read, but now they are already adapting the new generation's name, so it's very different. So we cannot see English, Chinese or other cultures.
Examiner
Are there any names that are more popular than others in China?
Candidate
I don't think so. I don't have any idea about China because I have not been there back then. I only live in the Philippines since I was born. However some names are popular like Lean, something like that. So depends.

× since I was born my parents didn't told me anything
✓ since I was born my parents didn't tell me anything
The auxiliary 'did' is already in the past tense, so the main verb should be in its base form 'tell' not 'told'.
× I find my name Chris a very unique one because it has no bowels in it
✓ I find my name Chris a very unique one because it has no vowels in it
The word 'bowels' is incorrect here; the correct word is 'vowels' which refers to letters like a, e, i, o, u. This is a vocabulary error rather than grammar, but it affects clarity.
× I chose their name in the Bible because I love reading verses
✓ I chose their names from the Bible because I love reading verses
The plural 'names' is appropriate since referring to two kids. Also, the preposition 'from' is correct when indicating the source of the names.
× I want their names to to be that way so that they will be also be blessed always
✓ I want their names to be that way so that they will also be blessed always
The phrase 'will be also be' has a repeated 'be' and the adverb 'also' should come before 'be blessed' for correct adverb placement.
× it has no bubbles in it as I've heard and meet my families between my mother's side or father's side
✓ it has no vowels in it as I've heard and met my family on my mother's side or father's side
The word 'bubbles' is incorrect; it should be 'vowels'. 'Meet' should be past tense 'met'. 'Families' should be singular 'family'. The preposition 'on' is used with sides of family.
× They have they they had no name like that
✓ They had no name like that
The phrase 'They have they they had' is redundant and incorrect. The correct past tense is 'They had no name like that'.
× the names before, as I've observed, they like very difficult to to read
✓ the names before, as I've observed, were very difficult to read
The verb 'like' is incorrect here; it should be 'were' to indicate past tense. Also, remove the repeated 'to'.
× So we cannot see English, Chinese or other cultures
✓ So we cannot see English, Chinese, or other cultural influences
The word 'cultures' is a noun, but the sentence context suggests 'cultural influences' is more appropriate. Also, commas are needed in the list.
× I don't have any idea about China because I have not been there back then
✓ I don't have any idea about China because I have never been there before
The phrase 'have not been there back then' mixes present perfect with a past time expression 'back then'. 'Never been there before' is correct for present perfect.
