有关名字 Hello everybody! Today is my turn to do the free talk. My topic is about ’names’. First, I want to ask a question; will names affect our lives? I’m not going to give you the answer now. Maybe you can find it later. What we do now, is to read a story. Two people were sent to the prison. It is funny to find out that both of them had strange names. One is ‘Temptress’, the other one is “Amcher”. The first one’s silly mother wanted to gave her girl the name ‘Tenpestt’, a name of an actress which should absolutely not be “temptress”. The mother spelled it wrong but she didn’t correct it. The “Temptress” was not docile at all. She even brought men back home when her mother was at work which she was totally shocked by. The second one’s name was decided when his parents saw the first label in the hospital. What if Temptress’s mother gave the poor girl a name like ‘Chastity’? Will she did the same thing as well? Well, it’s easy to find out that Temptress’s parents were obviously irresponsible parents. Her mother not only gave her daughter a unbelievable name, but also knew nothing about the name’s meaning. The boy was sent to the prison as well, which was expected. So those who don’t want to spent some time in giving names to their children, are not responsible. So when you grow up and have your own child, think about names carefully for the name will probably influence their lives. In the past 10 years, the scientists made a survey about the “whitest” & the “blackest” name. Now I will show you the result: According to the research, usually someone who has a very black name, the standard of living is lower than someone who has a white name. Only those who have low income, a separated family and haven’t been educated people will give a name like “DeShawn” to their children. The environment chooses the personality and people are more willing to employ those who have white names, so that’s why name is very very important to us. Now let’s see some examples around us. Before starting, I want to say that, parents gave us this name; maybe because of we are in the opposite so they hope us to be like that, but something never changes. zhang Haotong, hao means bright, tong means beautiful eyes. See! Bright and beautiful eyes. Mei Yu, Yu means hard gold and precious treasure. Doesn’t her adamancy like hard gold? Wang Zhiyao, zhi means a kind of grass which has small flowers. No one will think that there is any relationship between the grass and her. …… when you see them you will never think they are crazy people they are as quiet as their names (compare with me). In the end,do you want to know the meaning of your English name?... Thanks for listening, By Claire
