Hey denith,
I never try making such sentence myself. Anyway, there are ways that you can extend sentences. You can use conjunctions, adjectives, adverbs, clauses (relative clauses, appositive clauses) and punctuations as well.
Here is two sentences I found in a novel I read, but I made some changes to it now that it is an almost-70 word sentence.
Rain was still lashing the windows, which were now inky black, but in the big room, all looked bright and cheerful; the firelight glowed over the countless squashy armchairs where people sat reading, talking, doing homework or, in the case of Fred and George Weasley, the most popular twins, trying to find out what would happen if you fed a firework to a salamander which they found in the garden.
You can see how the points I mentioned above were used in the sentence.
Have fun,
Greeny

Hey keosomala...! You must be a fan of "Harry Potter" too, aren't you?  Of course, I quoted it from that novel. I love... that novel... so much.  Yeah... I have been away for a while because of my examination. I am back now and ready to share ideas. I've been missing you too, and everyone in the forum of course.  |

It is rather difficult, but it's possible of course!

I’ll try!
Looking very angry, a beautiful, young lady continuously shouted to a man, “I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, and go out of my life!”
Correct?

Correct?
Great Idea! but not a correct one.  |

Hi Thea,
Looking very angry, a beautiful, young lady continuously shouted to a man, “I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, I don’t love you any more, and go out of my life!”
Comma can not be used in that repeated sentences, but it must be ( ! ) and ( . )
so it is not a sentence

In speaking, I think the sentence is acceptable. But, yes, it is very informal; and should not be used in writing.

Hi Greeny,
Is it true that in speaking, listenners want to listen to a long sentence. If yes, how can they listen?
It is too complex, right?

I will try again! In this rather small Internet cafe, I can clearly see a lot of second-hand computers all connected to the Internet, three people talking and laughing loudly on the illegal phone line in lovely tiny rooms on which many colourful posters are firmly sticked, two of my fairly silly friends typing old dusty keyboards so quickly and noisily that I want to kick them out of this air-conditioned place, a very busy Monivong Boulevard on which a red old-fashioned motorbike ridden by an exhausted middle age man in white T-shirt is crawling as tiredly as its owner, and an old ugly owner of the cafe happily directing a beautiful young woman to a free computer next to mine! what do you think this time? |
