It is / was +被強(qiáng)調(diào)成份+that（who）+非強(qiáng)調(diào)部分。
eg. （1）對(duì)主語(yǔ)作強(qiáng)調(diào)

Let children learn to judge their own work . A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time : if corrected too much , he will stop talking . He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use . Bit by bit , he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s . In the same way , children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk , run , climb , whistle , ride a bike-compare their own performance with those of more skilled people , and slowly make the needed changes . But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself , let alone correct them . We do it all for him .
