2 Types of Sentences:

兩種類型的句子

passive sentence and active sentence

弱勢句與強勢句

Always try to use active rather than passive sentences.

盡力去使用強勢句而不是弱勢句。

Passive merely indicates that something is something.

我們談論的passive sentence并不是狹義上的被動句，而是陳述“什么是什么”的句子，這些帶有be（is /am/ are）。

Passive Sentence VS Active Sentence

Two Weaknesses of the Passive Sentence

1.It is .

2.And its structure prevents you from adding details.

passive sentence對增加句子的細節(jié)有限制。

While active sentences utilizes a verb that adds details or meaning to the sentence.

而active sentence會使用動詞給句子增加細節(jié)或意義。

A verb can make a sentence colourful.

動詞的使用會使句子更加豐富多彩。

One Important Policy一個重要的原則

SHOW ! DON’ T TELL !

展示而不是講述?。贸鰜?！別說話?。?/p>

Example 1:

Michael is a teacher. （passive sentence）

Micheal teaches at ASeat . （active sentence）

2 benefits of the second sentence:

1.From the sentence, we can see a painting that Micheal is teaching.

2.We can know that Micheal is a teacher.

Example 2:

Susan is tired. （passive sentence）

Susan almost fell asleep. （active sentence）

Susan almost fell asleep due to lethargy. （add more details）

Example 3:

She is nice. （passive sentence）

She helps elders in nursery. （active sentence）

She assists elders in nursery. （more specific）

? She converses with elders in nursery.（more details）

Example 4:

The apple is good. （passive sentence）

The apple tastes good. （active sentence）

The apple is healthy. （more specific）

We had better tell the reason why the apple is good and in what aspect the apple is good.

最好說出蘋果為什么好，在哪一方面（aspect）好。

Example 5:

贊美一個boy帥怎么說?

He is handsome.（passive sentence） 這句子簡直弱！爆！了！

His tall nose glistens under the sun, and his large eyes charms women in the street.

He bites his lips shaped like juicy cherry.
