Names— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Try to avoid filler words like 'uh' and 'umm' to make your answer sound more natural and confident. Also, add a bit more detail to enrich your response, for example, explain why the name is popular or what it means in your culture.

例: No, my name doesn't have a special meaning. It's a common name in my country because it is associated with a famous historical figure.

提案: Avoid using filler words and improve sentence structure for clarity. Use linking words to connect ideas smoothly. For example, start with a clear topic sentence and then explain your reasoning with specific details.

例: I would choose names that are easy to pronounce internationally because this helps my children communicate easily with people from different countries.

提案: Your answer is clear but could be improved by using correct tense and adding a linking word to connect ideas. Also, avoid contractions in formal speaking. For example, explain the significance of sharing the name.

例: Yes, my grandmother had the same name as me, and although she has passed away, I feel proud to carry her name.

提案: Try to answer the question directly and avoid repeating filler words. If you don't know the answer, briefly state that and then provide relevant information about your own country. Use linking words to make your answer coherent.

例: I don't know much about naming traditions in China, but in Georgia, the way people choose names has remained quite consistent over time.

提案: Avoid grammatical errors and use linking words to connect your ideas. Also, try to answer the question directly before adding your own experience. For example, start by acknowledging your lack of knowledge about China, then talk about naming trends in your country.

例: I am not sure about popular names in China, but in my country, naming trends change over time. For instance, names that were common ten years ago are less popular now.

× Yeah, my grandma has had the same name as me, but she's not alive anymore.

✓ Yeah, my grandma had the same name as me, but she's not alive anymore.

The sentence incorrectly uses the present perfect tense 'has had' to describe a past state that is completed. Since the grandma is no longer alive, the simple past tense 'had' is appropriate to indicate that the situation occurred in the past and is no longer true.

× So names which was very popular 10 years ago, they are not popular anymore.

✓ So names which were very popular 10 years ago, they are not popular anymore.

The subject 'names' is plural, so the verb should also be plural. The sentence incorrectly uses the singular verb 'was' instead of the plural 'were' to agree with the plural subject.
