a

teaching

pattern.

The comparison between English and Chinese sentence Patten

It

pays

more

attention

to

structure

in

English

while

semantics

is

more

important

in Chinese.

There are more long sentences in English than Chinese. As long as the grammar

For

example,

had

the

traveler

or

stranger

to

taste
