A life's work
Using language
Predicative clauses
BY MICHELLE
Grammar
01
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.
What form does the predicative take in sentences (a) and (b)
The predicative in sentences (a) and (b) takes the form of a clause.
Why is “what” used in sentence (a) and “where” used in sentence (b)
“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.
What other words do you know that can lead a 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.
More sentences with predicative clauses in the reading passage：
This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos.
Bill Cunningham was an observer... and this was how he wanted it.

Mei Lanfang（1894—1961）
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.
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.
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.
His innovations in make-up and costume design, which allowed for more vivid depictions of female characters, were what contributed greatly to the development of Peking Opera.
This lifelong devotion was what has made him one of the most celebrated Peking Opera artists of all time.
Think of another artist and write about their devotion to their art. Use predicative clauses where appropriate.
Xu Beihong was one of the most influential art educators and painters in the 20th century. One of his contributions is that he insisted on the innovation and improvement of Chinese painting all his life. His realistic painting theory is what influenced a new generation of painters most.

Read the passage and answer the questions.
Traditional crafts have long been disappearing from countries
across the world. With many crafts having been，or about
to be， lost forever，people have realised the importance of
preserving those that remain. In fact，after a long period of
decline，traditional crafts have recently undergone a renaissance.
There is greater public interest in old stories and traditions，
as well as a desire for high-quality products. Such objects are produced through a combination of skill，respect for materials，devotion to tradition，and focus on the task. Craftsmanship speaks to the human need for skilled and socially useful work；the sort of work that can be admired and valued by society.
What is currently happening to traditional crafts
Why are people starting to engage more with traditional crafts
Traditional crafts have recently undergone a renaissance.
People are starting to engage more with traditional crafts because there is greater public interest in old stories and traditions，as well as a desire for high-quality products. Furthermore，craftsmanship reflects people’s desire for skilled and socially useful work.

Read the passage and answer the questions. Pay attention to the words and expressions in bold.
In October 1964，China exploded its first atomic bomb，marking a successful
start of the“two bombs，one satellite”project，in which more than 17，000
scientists and researchers participated. Of those，23 were awarded for their
extraordinary contributions.
One of the 23 scientists was Deng Jiaxian，who was among the founders of China’s nuclear programme. After coming back from the US，Deng devoted himself whole-heartedly to the development of the “two bombs”. Spending years apart from his family and enduring the extreme conditions of the Gobi desert，he refused to back down from his responsibilities and kept on conducting scientific research. After the successful development of the atomic bomb，he worked closely with Yu Min，another leading scientist at the cutting edge of nuclear technology. Together，they thought outside the box and broke new ground，leading to the breakthrough of the hydrogen bomb. This was a remarkable achievement by the Chinese team of scientists，in such a short space of time.
Another respected scientist among the 23 award-winners was Qian Xuesen，
who was experienced in rocketry and highly accomplished in his field. He
had been working in the United States，where his crack hand at jet
propulsion had won him acclaim . However，he sought no fame and shunned the spotlight，returning to China with great resolution. He played a key role in China’s missile and aviation programmes，helping fast-track the development by decades.
The 23 scientists and many more like them overcame harsh conditions and
dedicated much of their lives to their work. Their expertise in science，
perseverance，integrity and innovation have inspired generations of
scientific researchers to work towards a more powerful and prosperous China.
What were the 23 scientists honoured for
What challenges did they meet How did they overcome them
They were honoured for their extraordinary contributions to the “two bombs，one satellite” project.
They endured extreme conditions and being apart from their families for years.
To overcome these challenges，they focused on their responsibilities and dedicated much of their lives to their work.
