63 Variety of sentence structure is powerful.
N H C E Variety of sentence structure is powerful. Short simple sentences are often used to make emphatic or important statements, such as the first or last sentence of a paragraph. Long complex sentences express complex ideas clearly and accurately. They have room for different modifiers.

64 N H C E Simple Sentence (简单句) A simple sentence has only one subject and one predicate verb. Short simple sentences usually give emphasis; they provide special clarity and variety, when used with longer sentences. e.g. A professor might have a hundred or more students in a class, or as few as three.

65 Compound Sentence (并列句)
N H C E Compound Sentence (并列句) A compound sentence is composed of two or more simple sentences related to each other in meaning, and linked by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, or, etc.) or by a semicolon without a conjunction.

66 Compound Sentence (并列句)
N H C E Compound Sentence (并列句) e.g. Throughout our lives at school, we take thousands of tests, but we don’t often stop to consider good test taking.

67 Complex Sentence (复合句)

The dependent clause may play the part of a subject, an object, a predicative, an attribute, or an adverbial in the main clause.

68 Complex Sentence (复合句)
N H C E Complex Sentence (复合句) e.g. And if you are behind in written work that must be turned in, the teacher who accepts it late will probably not give you full credit.
