If you want to improve your English, both spoken and written, there is one thing you must know: how tomake better sentences from simple ones.
Watch the coming video and find out how to make better sentences from the following two (a situation in which you have to apologize in public):
I have made a big mistake. I am responsible for it.
Level I: Watching a Video
Remember to turn on the captionsand annotations.
Level II: Post-Watching
So I guess you’ve got the ‘two ice-creams’:
I have made a big mistake, a mistake that I am responsible for.
But you can go further by applying the ‘two ice-creams’ to other situations such as:
a. upon announcingsomething big

We need a new kind of banking service, a service that replaces traditional practices.

b. upon presenting your proposal
