Grammar: Attributive clauses (2)
Review relative pronouns in attributive clauses.
1. What do “where”, “when” and “why” refer to in each sentence
“Where” refers to “the places”.
Activity 1 Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.
a Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
b The solution… comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
c Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
“When” refers to “a time” .
“Why” refers to “the main reason”.
2. What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
a Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
b The solution… comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
c Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
d Eventually, it manages to reach those places. It will spend the winter there.
e It is in serious trouble. The solution… comes at this time.
f Sadly, human activity is the main reason. For this reason, the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
2. What is the difference between the two groups of sentences
a Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.
b The solution… comes at a time when it is in serious trouble.
c Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
Sentences (a), (b) and (c) contain a clause defining a noun or pronoun in the sentence.
d Eventually, it manages to reach those places. It will spend the winter there.
e It is in serious trouble. The solution… comes at this time.
f Sadly, human activity is the main reason. For this reason, the number of monarch butterflies is falling.
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.
Why does the author choose to use sentences (a), (b) and (c) in the reading passage
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.

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.
Activity 2 Read the passage and underline the words that where, when and why refer to.
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!
Activity 2 Read the passage and underline the words that where, when and why refer to.
Hi Kay,

Vocabulary building: Animal idioms
1. as busy as a(n) _______
2. kill two ________with one stone
3. When the cat’s away, the _______ will play.
4. hold your _______
5. It’s raining _______ and _______ .
bee
birds
mice
horses
cats
dogs
Activity 4 Look at the pictures and complete the idioms with animal names.
English idioms are a way of adding colour to the language. For example, instead of saying “It’s raining heavily”, you could say “1. _____________________”. Another reason to use idioms is that they are concise. For example, to describe someone who is always working or busy doing something, we can say they are 2. ________________ .
It’s raining cats and dogs
as busy as a bee
concise [k n sa s] adj Something that is concise says everything
that is necessary without using any unnecessary words. 简洁的
例： Burton’s text is concise and informative.
Activity 5 Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms in Activity 4 .
If they’re rushing into something and should wait and be patient, you could say “3. ______________ ”. Learning idioms can be fun, especially when we compare them to Chinese equivalents. Take, for example, “4. _________________________________” (people do what they want and have fun when someone in authority is absent) and “5. ________________________ ” (solve two problems with one action) – are there corresponding idioms in Chinese
hold your horses
When the cat’ s away, the mice will play
kill two birds with one stone
equivalent [ kw v l nt] n If one amount or value is the equivalent
of another, they are the same. 等量物; 等价物
例：Mr. Li’s pay is the equivalent of about $80 a month.
corresponding [ k r sp nd ] adj 相应的
Activity 5 Complete the paragraph with the animal idioms in Activity 4 .
