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 bricks 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
