Names— Part 1 Relatório

Sugestão: Be more concise, correct grammar, and avoid repetition. Start with a clear topic sentence, then give two brief specific details. Use correct verb forms and smoother phrasing (e.g., "My first name... because my father hoped I would be the 'queen' of his life" and "My second name, Elisa, comes from my grandmother, Ellie").

Exemplo: My name has special meaning. My first name, Quinn, was chosen by my father because he hoped I would be like a "queen" in his life. My middle name, Elisa, comes from my grandmother, Ellie, to honor her.

Sugestão: Organize into a clear topic sentence and one supporting reason. Remove irrelevant repetition and correct grammar (use "especially" not "specially"). Use linking words like "because" or "so" to connect ideas. Limit to 2–4 sentences.

Exemplo: I would choose short, easy-to-spell names for my children. Because my own long name caused problems at school and in exams, I want names that are simple to write and pronounce.

Sugestão: Give a direct topic sentence, avoid awkward or overly long phrasing (e.g., "in my 30 plus years of existence"), and correct verb tense (use "have met" not "met" alone). Be concise and natural.

Exemplo: No, no one in my family has the same name as me. In my thirty-plus years I have never met anyone with exactly the same name, so it feels quite unique.

Sugestão: If you lack knowledge about China, say so briefly, then answer about the Philippines clearly. Use linking words and correct grammar (e.g., "I don't know much about Chinese naming customs, but in the Philippines..."), and avoid filler phrases.

Exemplo: I don't know much about Chinese naming trends, but in the Philippines naming has changed: older generations often used shorter names, while many young parents now choose longer or more varied names.

Sugestão: Again, briefly state your limitation, then give a clear, concise answer about the Philippines with correct grammar. Avoid hesitations like "I think" and use precise phrases ("common boy's name is John and girl's name is Maria").

Exemplo: I'm not familiar with popular names in China, but in the Philippines common names include John for boys and Maria for girls; these names remain very popular across generations.

× And my second name, Elisa is come from my grandmother named Ellie.

✓ And my second name, Elisa, comes from my grandmother, Ellie.

The phrase 'is come from' is incorrect. Use the present simple passive or active form 'comes from' to indicate origin. Also add commas to set off the name appositive. Suggestion: Use 'comes from' when stating where a name originates.

× My first name Quinn is given by my dad because he thought he thinks that I will be the queen of his life.

✓ My first name Quinn was given by my dad because he thought I would be the queen of his life.

Mixed tenses and incorrect modal: 'is given' with 'he thought he thinks' is inconsistent. Use past tense 'was given' and match belief with 'thought' + 'would' for reported future-in-the-past. Remove redundant 'he thinks.' Suggestion: Keep tense consistency when reporting past actions and beliefs.

× I have a long name and I remember when I was a child until college, it's very hard for me to write my very long name, specially in the in the examination.

✓ I have a long name and I remember that from childhood until college it was very hard for me to write my long name, especially in examinations.

Problems: incorrect use of 'when' with time span, wrong tense 'it's' should be past 'it was', misspelling 'specially' should be 'especially', and extra 'the'. Use 'from childhood until college' and plural 'examinations' for general events. Suggestion: Use clear time expressions and past tense for past experiences; use 'especially' and avoid repeated articles.

× So I prefer that my children will have a short name and easy to spell and pronounce.

✓ So I prefer that my children have short names that are easy to spell and pronounce.

Use of 'prefer that' often takes subjunctive or simple present in English: 'prefer that my children have'. Using 'will' is unnecessary and ungrammatical in this structure. Also pluralize 'names' and add relative clause 'that are' for clarity. Suggestion: Use 'prefer that' + present or rephrase 'I would prefer my children to have...'.

× I don't think I have a family member that has the same name as me.

✓ I don't think I have a family member who has the same name as I do.

Use 'who' for people rather than 'that' (stylistic) and 'as I do' is more formal than 'as me'. Subject-verb agreement is fine here but pronoun choice improved. Suggestion: Use 'who' for people and 'as I do' for better grammar.

× in my 30 plus years of existence here in the earth I don't met or I didn't met anyone who has a same name or exact name as mine.

✓ In my 30-plus years on earth, I haven't met anyone who has the same or an exact name as mine.

Incorrect past form 'met' used with 'don't'/'didn't' — correct present perfect 'haven't met' for experience up to now. Use 'on earth' not 'in the earth', hyphenate '30-plus', and 'the same' not 'a same'. Suggestion: Use present perfect for life experiences and correct preposition and article usage.

× Actually I don't have any idea because I am not a Chinese, but here in the Philippines it's there's a big difference now in naming their children because before they will use a shorter name but here in generation right now they have very long names.

✓ Actually I don't know because I am not Chinese, but here in the Philippines there is a big difference now in how they name their children: before they used shorter names, but the current generation gives very long names.

Pronoun and article errors: 'a Chinese' should be 'Chinese' (no article). 'It's there's' is redundant; use 'there is'. Tense mismatch: use past 'used' for past habit. Awkward phrase 'here in generation right now' corrected to 'the current generation'. Suggestion: Use 'Chinese' without article, avoid redundant contractions, and keep tense consistent.

× I am not a Chinese so I can't speak again for China, but here in the Philippines the most common name for a boy or a guy is I think John and for a girl it's Maria.

✓ I am not Chinese so I can't speak for China, but here in the Philippines I think the most common name for a boy is John and for a girl it's Maria.

Remove unnecessary article 'a' before Chinese and redundant word 'again'. Place 'I think' in a natural position. Also 'for a boy or a guy' is redundant—use 'boy'. Suggestion: Omit extra words and place opinion phrases like 'I think' before the clause they modify.

× They are very popular to name.

✓ These names are very popular.

'Popular to name' is ungrammatical. Use 'popular' with noun: 'These names are very popular' or 'They are popular choices for names.' Suggestion: Use correct noun phrase structure when describing popularity.
