Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important skill in writing. There are many ways to do this--many possible bonus points! Try to combine the following three sentences.
Sentence 1: Yuri did poorly on the final exam last week.
Sentence 2: He stayed up studying the whole night before the exam.
Sentence 3: Research shows that getting a good night's sleep before an exam is important.

Yuri did poorly on the final exam last week even though he stayed up studying the whole night before the exam and it shows the fact, also proven by research, getting a good night's sleep before an exam is important.
WOOKJIN: Great sentence, but note problem with punctuation--comma needed before "and".
Yuri did poorly on the final exam last week although he stayed up studying the whole night prior; therefore, getting a good night's sleep before an exam is important as research shows.
SAADAT: Good sentence:-)
Not surprisingly, Yuri did poorly on the final exam last week: he stayed up studying the whole night before the exam although being aware that research shows that getting a good night's sleep before an exam is important.
Yuri did poorly on his final exam last week eventhough he stayed up the whole night studying for the exam, also research show that getting a good night's sleep before an exam is important.
INGRID: good, but "although being aware" is rather awkward. Can you reowrd slightly?
JAYA: good--now can you find the subject-verb agreement error?
