大学英语六级作文范文资料仅供参考On the importance of a name第一篇(王迈迈)In recent years, many people become more and more concerned about the importance of a name. They choose very carefully the names for their children and sometimes even for the shop, restaurant or the company they run. They consider that a name can influence a persons whole life. Whats more, some people believe that sometimes a good name would bring good luck.However, peoples view varies from person to person. Not everyone thinks a deliberately chosen name really means so much. They argue that a name is just a name, to which people shouldnt attach too much superstitious ideas. Success depends much more on hardworking and down-to-earth attitude than how you name a shop or a person.As far as I am concerned, I favor the latter opinion. Although a carefully chosen name can tell the best wishes of the elder for the young generation, we still ought not to rely on the fortune a name can bring, nor can we blame our occasional bad luck on it.第二篇Interestingly, recently the importance of a name has been brought into hot discussion. Some people strongly believe that a name is responsible for a persons fate, thats why they would take all the trouble to try various ways to find wonderful names for their children, expecting the names would work magic for a glorious future. According to these people, a child may grow up happy, smart, attractive, elegant or successful due to their names. Despite that, others have voiced a different opinion that a name is relatively insignificant comparing to the efforts a person makes to realize his/her future dream as a persons fate is dominantly decided by a person himself/herself instead of the name he/she was given at his/her birth. Opportunities may count; and a persons own efforts and decisions definitely count; but a name simply functions as the way of the person being called by others, which doesnt work to change ones life.As far as I am concerned, a beautiful name certainly is one of the factors to make a great first impression. However, its not so important and powerful as to decide a persons future. To grab the fate, we need intelligence, honesty, sincerity and efforts more than a name.第三篇(恩波)A name is the representation of a person or an entity. It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name. However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name. Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round. But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that distinguishes one thing or person from the others.We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing. In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification. Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement. Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association. A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves. As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important. Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the name “Acer”. Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field. However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out. Can we say that name is not important?A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products. Therefore, we must treat names carefully.第四篇(新东方)According to the Bible, it is the almighty God who gave names to everything he created: he named the light Day and the darkness Night. In fact, a name is a word or phrase that man uses to denote and identify a specific person, place or thing. There is no inexorable correlation between the sign and the signified. For this reason, some claim that names are not so vital as they are supposed to be. However, I am fully convinced that they are of great importance.Take the name of a person as an example. It is known to all that a persons name is divided into two parts: given name and surname. The given name is the name our parents assign us. We ourselves might change it later in our life. Usually, when a name is given, it contains a lot of information. Say, li in the name of some Chinese females shows that we wish them to beautiful while wei in the names of some males reveals that we expect them to be great in their future life.As to the surname or family name, it is even more important, so important that some people may sacrifice their life for it. Originally, man had no such a name. But ever since a certain name was given, each member of the family carries it wherever he goes. Rather than merely a sign, it is the root from which we can trace back to our ancestor, the tie that helps bind us to other members of the same clan, the dignity most people hope to live for.Apart from the name of a person, that of a place or thing is also significant in that it embodies history and culture. All in all, though names are assigned artificially, man is not free when giving names. But God is.第五篇(昂立)Asked about which symbol can represent ones identity, the first answer occurring to most people, I believe, should be their names. Bingo! Every single person owns a particular name, which uniquely refers to this individual. Name is such an essential part of personal life that it is deliberately considered by parents or grandparents even before his/her birth. Moreover, the name will be with person for a whole life, widely used under any situation, such as filling in registration forms, or a topic of conversations, to name just a few.However, some people hold different views regarding the necessity of names. They argue that name is no more than an arbitrary symbol. Also, they believe that the good wishes the names express to the person are merely imagination. In this sense, they dont think names are of any great importance.As far as I am concerned, owning a name is good for the orderly organization of our society. Also, names indicate the long history and culture and express our good wishes for our life and future.
