if you put 如果 at the beginning and it makes sense, it means if.. 如果读不通的话，就不是。

<p>In the following sentence:</p>

  <p>国籍的图片是来自于EmojiOne数据集，<strong>有兴趣的</strong>可以去看看了解一下。题目有奥运会奖牌，本次用国旗与国家联系起来。</p>
</blockquote>

<p>This sentence seems to use "~的话，..." phrase, but omit the 话. (Let me know if I'm wrong but I proceed with the assumption that it is correct).</p>

<p>However, on these types of sentences I'm struggling to decide when to leave it in or out. How can I use them apart correctly? Is there any clue?</p>

<p>The above sentence should be fine if I rewrite it as following:</p>

<p>Or is it OK to <em>always</em> use the brief form as far as the meaning is clear enough in the context? I learned here that it is usually considered better to make the sentence simpler in Chinese, as far as it is clear...</p>

In the following sentence:

> 国籍的图片是来自于EmojiOne数据集，**有兴趣的**可以去看看了解一下。题目有奥运会奖牌，本次用国旗与国家联系起来。

This sentence seems to use "~的话，..." phrase, but omit the 话. (Let me know if I'm wrong but I proceed with the assumption that it is correct).

However, on these types of sentences I'm struggling to decide when to leave it in or out. How can I use them apart correctly? Is there any clue?

The above sentence should be fine if I rewrite it as following:

> 国籍的图片是来自于EmojiOne数据集，**你有兴趣的话就**可以去看看了解一下。题目有奥运会奖牌，本次用国旗与国家联系起来。

Or is it OK to *always* use the brief form as far as the meaning is clear enough in the context? I learned here that it is usually considered better to make the sentence simpler in Chinese, as far as it is clear...
