How to make better sentences (from simple ones)

If you want to improve your English, both spoken and written, there is one thing you must know: how to make better sentences from simple ones. 











Watch the coming video and find out how to make better sentences from the following two (a situation in which you have to apologize in public):




I have made a big mistake.  I am responsible for it.








Level I: Watching a Video



Remember to turn on the captions and annotations.











Level II: Post-Watching

So I guess you’ve got the ‘two ice-creams’:


I have made a big mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for.  



                            




But you can go further by applying the ‘two ice-creams’ to other situations such as:





a. upon announcing something big



We need a new kind of banking service, a service that replaces traditional practices.




b. upon presenting your proposal



With an increase in leisure activities, there would be job opportunities, job opportunities that benefit people living in this city. 







c. writing an email to promote a vacation package



To help you plan your vacation, we have enclosed our resort brochure, a brochure (that) describes our facilities and areas attractions.
