butterflies is falling.

sentence (a), (b) and (c) in the reading
passage
Activity 1
参考答案:
1. “Where” refers to “the places” in sentence (a), “when” refers to “a time” in
sentence (b) and “why” refers to “the main reason” in sentence (c).
2. Sentences (a), (b) and (c) contain a clause defining a noun or pronoun
in the sentence.
Sentences (d), (e) and (f) are constructed with a pair of simple sentences,
with one defining a noun or pronoun in the other sentence in each pair.
3. Because there is a closer link and connection between the item and the
clause defining it in sentences (a), (b) and (c). It will also make the passage clearer,
and create an emphatic effect on the location, time and reason being defined.
Can you look for more sentences with attributive clauses in the reading passage

In April 2017, two giant pandas from China arrived at a zoo in the Netherlands. There, they were welcomed to the Chinese-style compound where they were to live. On 30 May, after the preparations were complete, the day finally came when the pandas met their fans for the first time. People were excited – the zoo is the only place in the country where it is possible to see pandas. In fact, the last time there were pandas in the Netherlands was in 1987. And of course, the main reason why they were so excited is that pandas are just so cute!
