Activity 1
Now look for more sentences with subject clauses in the reading passage, and summarise their uses in your own words.
Activity 2
Read the passage and choose the correct words.
It is a well-known fact / what the faces some people show to the world might be completely different to their real personalities. For instance, most comedians never cease to have smiles on their faces and always sound cheerful because that’s the nature of their work. From this, it’s impossible to know / where their true feelings are. Smiles imply happiness, but remember – although they might be laughing on the outside, they might be weeping on the inside. That / others are feeling is not something that we should make assumptions about, because it’s not always obvious who is truly happy. / That is certain is that comedians often use comedy to help them understand themselves and the world. In fact, comedy is a very serious job indeed!

Activity 3
Write an introduction to Ma Xu based on the profile. Use three or four subject clauses in your introduction.
Ma Xu became a military doctor in 1947. She applied to become a paratrooper in 1961, but her first application failed because there were no female paratroopers at that time. Ma was only 1.53 metres tall and weighed just 37.5 kg. But she learnt to parachute by training hard in secret. After Ma proved that she could jump as well as anyone else, her application was successful.
Ma is China’s first female paratrooper. She completed over 140 parachute jumps over a period of 20 years – the most of any female paratrooper. She also set a national record as the oldest enlisted woman to do a parachute jump, at the age of 51.
In 2018, Ma donated her entire life savings to her home town in Mulan County. This donation was to support local education and public welfare.
