Notice: New Store Hours
Starting next Monday, our store will open one hour earlier and close one hour later than before. The new hours are from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
We have decided to extend our hours because many customers told us that the old schedule was not convenient for them. With the longer hours, you will have more time to shop before and after work.
During the first week, anyone who visits the store will receive a small gift at the entrance. We will also offer a special discount on selected items to thank you for your support.
Please note that the store will be closed on the last Sunday of this month for cleaning and maintenance. The pharmacy section, however, will remain open as usual on that day.
If you have any questions about the new hours, our staff at the information desk will be happy to help you. Thank you for shopping with us.

句子结构
把关键句子按意义单位切分,观察各部分的作用。
We have decided to extend our hours because many customers told us that the old schedule was not convenient for them.
主语We主语
谓语have decided to extend our hours现在完成时+不定式
连接becausereason link (because)
从句many customers told us原因从句(told us)
从句that the old schedule was not convenient for themtold 的 that 从句
主干是「We have decided to extend ...」,「decide to + 动词原形」意为「决定做」。后面的「because」引出原因从句,其中「told us that ...」是「tell + 人 + that从句」结构,「us」是间接宾语,整个that从句是直接宾语。再长的句子也能按动词「told」把什么(that从句)告诉谁(us)来拆解。
During the first week, anyone who visits the store will receive a small gift at the entrance.
修饰During the first week时间状语
主语anyone主语(任何人)
从句who visits the store修饰 anyone 的关系从句
谓语will receive主句谓语(将来)
宾语a small gift at the entrance宾语+地点
主语「anyone」之后紧跟关系从句「who visits the store」来限定主语:「任何到店的人」。关系从句夹在主语与主句谓语「will receive」之间,看似相隔很远,但把关系从句括起来,核心便是「anyone will receive a gift」。句首的「During the first week」是先提出时间的状语短语。
