二重复句1：单句+复句；复句+单句
Compound Sentences (Type 1): Simple Sentence + Complex Sentence; Complex Sentence + Simple Sentence
Explanation
This is a complex compound sentence structure that combines a simple sentence (with only one main predicate) with a complex sentence (containing multiple clauses). For example, '我决定去中国留学' is a simple sentence, while '即使中文再难我也要去学' is a complex sentence containing a concessive clause. The order can be reversed: the complex sentence comes first, followed by the simple sentence, such as '因为生病所以我没去上课' (complex sentence showing cause) then '没想到的是老师一下课就来看我了' (simple sentence). This method helps express rich meaning, linking multiple logical relationships in one long sentence.
