into the passage punctuation marks: comma and full
stop, capitalizing the first word
of
each sentence.
My sister and I are
three and a half years apart in age, but a world
apart in the way we live our
lives. She
is conservative and quiet. I take too many risks,
and the only time I’m really quiet is
when I’m sleep. I’ve spent most of my
adult life apologizing to my sister and the rest
of my family
for being
different, for embarrassing them by something I
wear, something
I do or something
I
say.
Tips: the use of the
full stop/period
（句号）
and the comma
（逗号）
The full
stop/period:
a.
is used to end declarative and imperative sentences(
陈述句和祈使句
)
eg
I took a few steps. (Unit l)
Go in by yourself, and join them. (Unit
l)
b. follows some
abbreviations
（缩写词）
eg
Dr.
a.m.
p.m.
v.s.
etc.
Note:
In
modem
usage,
the
full
stop/period
following
some
abbreviations
can
be
omitted;
only
one period
follows an abbreviation that ends a sentence.
Eg
The lecture begins at 2:00 pm.
