GRAMMAR POINT
関係代名詞の導入
説明される語句（the songs）と直後の説明する部分（she wrote）の間には which または that がつなぎ役としておかれることがあります。このようなつなぎの語を「関係代名詞」と呼びます。
I like the songs which she wrote.
I like the songs that she wrote.
（名詞＋which / that ＋主語＋動詞 …）の形で使われる場合、関係代名詞は省略されることが多いです。Step Up Points の例文はこの省略された形です。
I like the songs she wrote.
