relative clauses

Put what you just learned about relative clauses into practice. Write 1 paragraph describing someone or something using 2 defining and 2 non-defining relative clauses.

Example:
Our dog, Cubby, which is a yellow labrador, is a rambunctious wild beast. When I take him for a walk in the evenings, he wants to chase all of the little wild rabbits which come out at night. I thought that this dog, who weighs almost 40 kilos of pure muscle, was going to yank my arm out of its socket. Yet Cubby is my dear friend who always greets me with happy barks and wet kisses and I love him dearly.

which is a yellow labrador: non-defining
which come out at night: defining
who weighs almost 40 kilos of pure muscle: non-defining
who always greets me with happy barks and wet kisses : defining

  1. My classmate, who is from Switzerland, is a very strange guy. During the class, when we need to work in a pairs, he talk about 24F, which is so strange. I even don't undertsand, what he is talking about.
    This kid, who is 21 years old, is very funny. He always give me a wink and star at me, which is so unusual for Asian culture. That guy is my funniest classmate who makes me laugh all the time.

  2. I have a roommate who is from Switzerland. We went to downtown ,to go to a club, and he was having a good time dancing with hot girls. We went to calrs jr, which is the popular fast food, and ate 3 hamburgers which made me puke after I was drunk.

  3. On saturday, wich was the last saturday of may, a lot of students left the campus. The students who were leaving had to do the check out. The student whose the room was clean got the money that they gave on their first day. The security's guy, who is quiet strange, was looking around all the nights of the week end to check if there is no party. After all these departures my flat that I share with Koji seems to be empty.
