Names— Part 1 채점 보고서

제안: Câu trả lời đã có ý chính rõ ràng nhưng cần rút ngắn, sửa lỗi ngữ pháp và làm rõ ý cuối câu. Hãy dùng một câu chủ đề ngắn gọn, theo sau bởi 1–2 câu chi tiết cụ thể (ví dụ nêu tên làng). Tránh câu mơ hồ như “Where am I that also me comes from” và kiểm soát số câu không vượt quá 5 câu.

예시: My name, Ben, comes from my father’s village called Ben Village, so it reminds me of my roots. It makes me feel connected to my hometown whenever people ask about my name.

제안: Ý tưởng rõ ràng, ngôn ngữ tự nhiên và mạch lạc. Để cao điểm hơn, hãy đưa một lý do cụ thể cho từng tiêu chí (ví dụ: dễ phát âm, có ý nghĩa) và dùng liên từ để nối ý gọn hơn. Tránh cụm từ thừa như “to school” sau “classmates”. Giữ tối đa 4–5 câu.

예시: I would choose a name that’s unique and easy to pronounce because it helps the child stand out while avoiding constant mispronunciations. I also prefer names with a positive meaning or pleasant sound so the child feels confident.

제안: Nội dung có đủ nhưng hơi lẫn lộn: bạn bắt đầu là Ben ở đầu phần thi nhưng lại nói tên là Van/Ken Wen sau đó gây nhầm. Hãy nhất quán tên khi trả lời và tránh mâu thuẫn. Thêm một câu giải thích ngắn gọn về cách phân biệt (ví dụ: cách gọi hàng ngày).

예시: Yes, I have a cousin who shares the same given name, Van, but we use different middle names. For example, my full name is Ken Wen Van and hers is Tanglin Van, so family members usually call us by our middle names to avoid confusion.

제안: Trả lời logic và rõ ràng. Để nâng cao, hãy đưa ví dụ cụ thể về một tên truyền thống và một tên hiện đại, hoặc nêu nguyên nhân xã hội (ví dụ: ảnh hưởng toàn cầu hóa). Dùng liên từ để kết nối các ý chặt chẽ hơn.

예시: Yes, traditionally parents chose names with characters that reflect family values, like “Shu” meaning filial piety. Today, many parents prefer modern-sounding or unique names influenced by global trends, while still considering the name’s meaning.

제안: Câu trả lời thành thực và hợp lý nhưng hơi chung chung. Để tốt hơn, nêu thêm một nguyên nhân khiến tên phổ biến (ví dụ: nhân vật nổi tiếng) hoặc đề cập tới nguồn dữ liệu cụ thể nếu có. Dùng cấu trúc điều kiện để làm rõ giới hạn kiến thức của bạn.

예시: I’m not certain about official statistics, but from watching TV dramas I’ve noticed certain names like Ye Chen or Xiao Ling recur, possibly because popular characters influence parents’ choices.

× Every time someone asks about my name, it reminds me of Where am I that also me comes from.

✓ Every time someone asks about my name, it reminds me of the village I come from.

The original sentence has incorrect word order and extraneous words ('Where am I that also me comes from') causing a sentence structure error. Replace with a clear relative clause 'the village I come from' to convey meaning. Suggestion: use simple relative clauses (the place I come from/the town I was born in).

× I know unusual names often attract attention from teachers or classmates to school, but I honestly don't mind that.

✓ I know unusual names often attract attention from teachers or classmates at school, but I honestly don't mind that.

The preposition 'to' is incorrect in this context; use 'at school' to indicate location where attention occurs. Suggestion: use 'at' for institutions or events (at school, at work).

× I have a cousin in my hometown whose name is also Van.

✓ I have a cousin in my hometown whose name is also Van.

No grammatical change needed; sentence is correct. (Included to acknowledge pronoun use is correct.)

× I only found out a few years ago because we didn't really talk much before that.

✓ I only found out a few years ago because we hadn't really talked much before then.

The original uses simple past 'didn't really talk' while referring to a time before the discovery; the past perfect 'hadn't really talked' correctly indicates the earlier action. Also replace 'that' with 'then' to refer to that time. Suggestion: use past perfect for actions completed before another past event.

× My name's Ken Wen while hers is Tanglin, so it's still easy to tell us apart.

✓ My name's Ken Wen while hers is Tanglin, so it's still easy to tell us apart.

Sentence is grammatically acceptable; no change required. (Included to indicate pronoun usage 'hers' is correct.)

× In the past, Chinese parents seemed to prefer more traditional names that reflected family values or cultural beliefs.

✓ In the past, Chinese parents tended to prefer more traditional names that reflected family values or cultural beliefs.

'Seemed to prefer' is not wrong but 'tended to prefer' is clearer when describing habitual past behavior. Suggestion: use 'tended to' or simple past 'preferred' for general past habits.

× Nowadays, I think many parents choose names that sound more modern or unique.

✓ Nowadays, I think many parents choose names that sound more modern or unique.

Sentence is grammatically correct in present tense for current habits; no change needed. (Included to confirm tense correctness.)

× I'm not completely sure, but from the Chinese TV dramas and variety shows I've watched, I feel like some names appear again and again.

✓ I'm not completely sure, but from the Chinese TV dramas and variety shows I've watched, I feel that some names appear again and again.

Both 'I feel like' and 'I feel that' are acceptable; however 'I feel that' is slightly more formal and appropriate in test responses. This is a stylistic suggestion rather than a strict grammatical correction. Suggestion: prefer 'I feel that' in formal speaking.
