2. Grammar: Defining & Non-Defining Relative Clauses
At the B2 level, it is vital to distinguish between relative clauses that provide essential information (Defining) and those that provide extra, non-essential information (Non-Defining).
| Type | Function | Punctuation | Example from Kep Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Defining Relative Clause | Identifies exactly who or what we are talking about. If removed, the sentence loses its primary meaning. Cannot use "that" for people in strict formal rules, but common in speech. | No commas. | The fisherman who caught these crabs is Kimsan. (Tells us exactly which fisherman). |
| Non-Defining Relative Clause | Adds extra, non-essential information. If removed, the core meaning of the sentence remains clear. "That" cannot be used. | Must use commas. | Sreymom, who is a vendor at the crab market, understands her niche market. (We already know who Sreymom is; the clause is just bonus info). |
Grammar Practice: Part 1 - Identification
Type D for Defining or ND for Non-Defining based on the punctuation and context.
Grammar Practice: Part 2 - Pronoun Selection
Type the correct relative pronoun (who, which, whose, where). Do not use 'that'.
3. Reading: Scaling Up the Catch in Kep
In the bustling coastal town of Kep, which is famous for its vibrant seafood scene, local businesses are looking for ways to expand. Kimsan, who is a dedicated fisherman, has spent the last decade navigating the Gulf of Thailand. However, relying solely on local walk-in customers was limiting his potential. He needed to rethink his marketing strategies.
He teamed up with Sreymom, a vendor whose stall at the Kep Crab Market is always busy. Sreymom understood that their competitive advantage was the incredible freshness of their blue swimming crabs. "We can't just sell to tourists," Sreymom explained. "Our true target audience should include high-end restaurants in Phnom Penh."
To reach this niche market, they developed a strong brand identity around sustainable fishing. They called their venture 'Kep Coastal Catch.' Because premium restaurants require consistent sourcing, Kimsan agreed to provide a guaranteed weekly quota. Sreymom structured a wholesale pricing model, which ensured a healthy profit margin while remaining attractive to executive chefs.
Initially, they didn't have a massive budget for a digital promotional campaign. Instead, they relied heavily on word-of-mouth. A chef who bought their first wholesale batch was incredibly impressed and recommended them to three other restaurants. Sreymom also focused intensely on customer retention by offering flexible delivery times and personalized service. By combining Kimsan’s reliable sourcing with Sreymom’s astute marketing strategies, the pair successfully transformed a small local stall into a premier seafood supplier for the capital.
