Exploring the rules
Sima Qian, one of the greatest historians in Chinese history, was born in either 145 or 135 BCE. Influenced by his father, who was also a historian, Sima Qian took an interest in history when he was a child. He learnt Chinese classics from great literary masters, and at the age of 20, he began travelling extensively across the country. He interviewed the local people to get a wide range of information. Learning and travelling were exactly what helped him in his later career as a historian.
Below is an essay on the great historian Sima Qian. Find the sentences with predicative clauses and fill in the box below. The first one has been done for you.
His father’s dream was that one day he could write a great masterpiece recording what had happened in history. After his father died, Sima Qian succeeded his father as Grand Historian, which facilitated his access to official books and files. However, his work proved difficult, because sorting out all the available resources and checking facts of historical materials required painstaking efforts. His chief concern was whether he could do his job more effectively and efficiently.
As he carried on with his work, something awful happened to Sima Qian. He was put in prison, where he suffered a lot of pain physically and mentally. However, he was not defeated. He never forgot about his father’s dream, in good times or bad times. After more than ten years of hard work, the Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), his masterpiece, was completed.
