Hello. I’m Margot Politis. Welcome to Study English,
IELTS preparation. Today we're going to look at ways of connecting
ideas there are many ways of doing these using
conjunctions words that join first
let's listen to poll Gibson an architect while he takes us on a tour love his new
environmentally friendly solar house well complain about two years ago
and the I guess wanna interesting things about it is that
its 50 house and I'm nice houses
guess they say is a but funny and where is this is
father on SR timber on the outside at the specs on the inside
well I guess the very high
windows along the north side going down to the lower
ceiling hot on the south basically a lassie to get
lot of sign in through these winners in winter
and the louvers which guy out actually go to a point where
the some can be shy to completely in summer but they can be opened to let
some
right back into the house through winter this helps
house actually has two to North Faces
does the north by civil the living rooms 3 trying and then
the master bedroom has a North Face and the other bedrooms all seven of us
as met trying to maximize the what we call
aperture of the house which is how much sonya to get into that
in winter I K now we've listened to poll
let's look at the way he connected his ideas good communication especially in
an academic setting
is all about expressing and connecting but simple and complex ideas
there are many ways to do this simple sentences
express a single simple idea the most simple sentence
consists of just a subject and devoted
the door opens the woman
enters the easiest way of connecting ideas is using
coordination that taking two simple sentences
and linking them with the conjunction or joining word
the most common conjunction on and and
but other common ones I yet
or for and
sigh we use the most simple conjunctions in place
a full stop the door opens
the woman enters the door opens
and the woman enters the door opens
the woman doesn't enter the dough I pins
but the woman doesn't enter this into an example here
well complains about two years ago and
the I guess wanna interesting things about it is that it's five a house
and I'm nice houses guess they says a
but finance its a fiber a house and most houses
a brick veneer is a fiber house
most houses a brick veneer
these a two simple sentences
they can be linked together to form a longer sentence
cold a compound sentence is a fiber house
and most houses a brick veneer compound sentences
have to independent closes to causes
that can be separate sentences here's another one
ceiling hot on the south basically a lassie to get
lot of sign in through these mean as in winter
and the louvers which guy out actually go to a point where
the some can be shy to completely in summer but I can be opened to let some
right back
into the house through winter he's talking about
the louvers he joins together two sentences
the losers go to a point where the Sun can be shaded completely in summer
they can be opened to let the Sun back in three winter
he joins the sentences together
using but notice we use a comma as well
the louvers go to a point where the Sun can be shaded completely in summer
comma
ot they can be opened to let the Sun back in three winter
the conjunctions
and and but can also be used
to join words and phrases in list we separate words with comments and then
use a final and the house is made a fibroid
the house is made of ivory and
timber the house is made of fibro
timber and breaks listen to this example
nice houses guess they says a but finance where is this is
five on the outside timber on the outside but the specs on the inside
he forms one compound sentence from simple sentences
the houses fibro on the outside
it is timber on the outside it is bricks
on the inside noticed that and
is used to list similar things but
is used to contrast different items in a list
so we could also say the houses fibroid and
timber on the outside but brakes on the inside
okay so that's an introduction to coordination
remember coordination is linking
independent causes with conjunctions
these forms compound sentences
in
another way to join ideas is using subordination
subordination is linking and independent clause
with a dependent clause to make a complex sentence
dependent clauses a close is that cannot exist separately
in separate sentences they need or depend on each other
we can form complex sentences
in two ways we can use relative pronouns
who whose which where
or we can use conjunctions
black because or whereas when writing or speaking
it's important for you to practice using a variety of sentences
you need to use simple compound and complex sentences
he is another example trying to maximize the
what we call aperture of the house which is how much sonya to get into
in winter he uses and independent
and a dependent clause here look at these two sentences
they're trying to maximize the aperture
of the house the aperture of the house
is how much fun you get he joins tasty sentences together
with a relative pronoun they're trying to maximize the aperture
of the house comma which is how much Sun you get
now let's practice that join a simple sentences
to make compound sentences using coordination
here try to use and and pot
the master bedroom has a North Face
the other bedrooms have a North Face
the master bedroom
and the other bedrooms have a North Face and here's another one
the house is warm in winter the house
is cool in summer
the house is warm in winter comma but
it's Colin summer now let's practice
subordination that's making two sentences
into one complex sentence try using
whereas the house is warm in winter
most houses a cold in winter this can become
the house is warm in winter comma
whereas most houses a cold in winter
and here's another one here try to link the sentences
using which the house is made of fibroid
fibroid is a cheap building material
the house is made a fibroid
we teach is a cheap building material you need to practice forming simple
compound and complex sentences there are many ways to do it
in many different ways of punctuating this is very important for your written
work
and that's all for today I'll see you next time
