2 Types of Sentences:

两种类型的句子

passive sentence and active sentence

弱势句与强势句

Always try to use active rather than passive sentences.

尽力去使用强势句而不是弱势句。

Passive merely indicates that something is something.

我们谈论的passive sentence并不是狭义上的被动句，而是陈述“什么是什么”的句子，这些带有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对增加句子的细节有限制。

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

而active sentence会使用动词给句子增加细节或意义。

A verb can make a sentence colourful.

动词的使用会使句子更加丰富多彩。

One Important Policy一个重要的原则

SHOW ! DON’ T TELL !

展示而不是讲述！（拿出来！别说话！）

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.

最好说出苹果为什么好，在哪一方面（aspect）好。

Example 5:

赞美一个boy帅怎么说?

He is handsome.（passive sentence） 这句子简直弱！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.
