Structuring Information (2)

　    In the previous unit, we learned to use one of the ways to direct the reader's attention towards the most important information in a text. That is to  present new information towards the end of each sentence and put elements which have already been mentioned near the beginning of the sentence.
      In this unit, we will learn to use main and subordinate clauses to make appropriate distinctions in our formal writing, putting the more important unit of information in the main clause, while placing the less important one in the subordinate clause. Thus, the reader can  focus on the more important information and understand the writer's message more easily. Let's do the following exercises to acquire  this skill.
