Moon is My Name

My name is Mingyue Zhou. You can call me Ming. I am from China. My aunt gave me name . when I was born, they did not call that name . But I do not know what the previous name was. Because it was not registered on the birth certificate. That name was given to me by my grandfather because my grandfather likes that name. My aunt said that it was not good, so she changed my name to the current name. Mingyue means moon in Chinese. My aunt gave me this name because she hopes I can bring light to people in the dark like the moon. I like my name very much because it is very simple to write in Chinese. When I first learned to write, I quickly learned to write my name. When I was in elementary school, many of my classmates name were complicated. I remember that in my first year of elementary school, many classmates often wrote their names incorrectly during exams because of their complicated name writing. I also like that my name has the moon in it because the moon represents perfection. Mom always said: My daughter represents perfection, and the home with my daughter is perfect. There are many variations in the shape of the moon, sometimes it is round, sometimes it looks like a hook. Whatever it becomes, it is the brightest in the night sky.

  3. 1. there is many short sentences that need the transition word to connect them.
    2. you said your aunt gave you name so what is the name your grandfather gave you?
    3. Some connection words were confusing. It very difficult to understand the sentence meaning.(e.g= when I was born, they did not call that name . But I do not know what the previous name was. Because it was not registered on the birth certificate. That name was given to me by my grandfather because my grandfather likes that name)
    4. Capitalization and punctuation need more attention
