relative clause
 
Plese help me:

=> Mai, who......... 
Key:

I like this one:
 
Mai, who is a responsible girl, takes good care of her room.
 
But in the right context the other version can also be correct.

It depends on what the important information is. This is a non-defining relative clause - the information which is between the brackets is extra information.

The Stranger, which was written by Albert Camus, was published in 1942. - The year it was published is the information you want to convey. Who it �s written by is just extra info.

The Stranger, which was published in 1942, was written by Albert Camus. - Who wrote the book is the information you want to convey. When it was published is the extra info here.
