structure is: introduction (repeat the question), the good things, the bad things, your final answer.

sentences: use 连词 to make sentences long = and, but, so, because, when, if, which, who, that….

vocabulary: use different words, don’t repeat the same words again and again.

which = describes the object that you just said, the sentence that you just said.

that = describes the verb or noun you just said. / or tells which one.
