To know the usage of predicative clauses
To use predicative clauses correctly
目标一:To know the usage of predicative clauses
Activity 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a This is what makes them so special.
b A simple restaurant was where he usually had the same meal of sausages, eggs and coffee.
1 What form does the predicative take in sentences (a) and (b)
2 Why is “what” used in sentence (a) and “where” used in sentence (b)
3 What other words do you know that can lead a predicative clause
The predicative in sentences (a) and (b) takes the form of a clause.
“What” is used in sentence (a) because it acts as the subject of “makes” in the predicative clause.“Where” is used in sentence (b) because it acts as the adverbial in the predicative clause.
Other words are who, when, how, why, etc.
Now look for more sentences with predicative clauses in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos.

Mei Lanfang was born into a family of Peking and Kunqu Opera performers in 1894. At the age of eight, he started training in Peking Opera on a daily basis. When he was 17, he kept a flock of pigeons and trained them to fly high. Every day Mei watched them as they flew, which helped him to develop the expressive eye movements that were so crucial to his art. His hard work and dedication made him a leading artist in Peking Opera.
The age of eight was when he started training in Peking Opera on a daily basis. Watching the pigeons as they flew every day was how he developed the expressive eye movements that were so crucial to his art. His hard work and dedication were what made him a leading artist in Peking Opera.
Mei was also an innovator. In addition to new stage designs and singing styles, his innovations in make-up and costume design allowed for more vivid depictions of female characters. This contributed greatly to the development of Peking Opera.Until he passed away in 1961, Mei had been performing and encouraging the spread of Peking Opera for almost 60 years. This lifelong devotion has made him one of the most celebrated Peking Opera artists of all time.
