Names— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Expand your answer with a brief topic sentence stating whether it has a special meaning and then give one or two specific details (what the meaning is and why it was chosen). Use linking words like “because” or “for example.” Keep it to 1–3 short sentences.

Exemplo: Yes, my name has a special meaning. It means “bright and calm” because my parents hoped I would be cheerful and steady as I grew up.

Sugestão: First, answer the question directly with a clear topic sentence (e.g. whether you would choose names yourself). Then give a reason and one specific example of the kind of name you would pick, using linking words like “so” or “because.” Avoid unclear phrasing.

Exemplo: I would choose names myself because I want them to reflect our family values. For example, I might pick a name that means “kind” so it reminds the child to treat others well.

Sugestão: Provide a direct answer and add a short supporting detail to make the response natural (for example, explain why or give a related fact). Use a linking word such as “because” or “so.” Keep it concise—1–2 additional sentences maximum.

Exemplo: No, nobody in my family has the same name as me because my parents preferred unique names. Even my siblings all have different names to avoid confusion.

Sugestão: Give a clear topic sentence (state a difference) and support it with one or two specific details or examples, using linking words such as “for instance” or “nowadays.” Mention concrete changes like trends, influences, or naming elements.

Exemplo: Yes, there are differences. For instance, in the past many names were traditional and based on classical characters, whereas nowadays parents often choose modern or international names because of global influences.

Sugestão: Answer directly whether some names are more popular and then give a specific example or reason (e.g. popular names or trends) using linking words like “for example” or “because.” Keep the response focused and natural.

Exemplo: Yes, some names are more popular, especially short and meaningful names. For example, names meaning “strong” or “peace” are common because parents wish good qualities for their children.

× I don't want to next generation.

✓ I don't want to have a next generation.

The original sentence is missing the verb phrase 'to have' or another appropriate verb to link desire with the object. This is a sentence structure error and also involves verb usage. To express that you do not want children in the future, use 'I don't want to have a next generation' or more naturally 'I don't want to have children' or 'I don't want the next generation' depending on intended meaning. Suggestion: use a complete verb phrase: 'I don't want to have children.'

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

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

The original sentence omits a word to indicate people. 'Chinese' can be an adjective or a noun; when used as a noun meaning 'Chinese people' it is acceptable in informal contexts, but to be clear and grammatical here, use 'Chinese people'. This fixes a potential noun usage/number issue and improves clarity. Suggestion: include 'people' after national adjectives when referring to the population.

× Of course, not only in China.

✓ Of course, not only in China; those names are also popular in other countries.

The original reply is a sentence fragment and lacks a main verb, making it unclear. It attempts to agree and extend the idea but needs a complete clause. By adding a main clause such as 'those names are also popular in other countries' the response becomes a full sentence and clearly answers the examiner's question. Suggestion: avoid sentence fragments by including a subject and verb.
