Campus task will never die :D

Well, ini tugas summarizing lagi, as usual, mata kuliah Reading Comprehension III, kali ini temanya patterns of organization, exactly about cause and effect, lagi kumat malasnya nih ngerjain tugas-__-") Just check it out !!

Cause and Effect

When an author discusses about cause-effect, his purpose is to  help you understand why things happen/happened and the result of certain events or actions.

This is a part of the pattern of organization details that present causes or reasons along with their effects or results. In other words, it explains why something has happened. For example, if one of your classmates ask you how you got an A+ on a subject, you might proceed to explain that you attended all classes (cause), took down every word the teacher or lecturer said (cause), read more (cause), and studied on a daily basis (cause). Here, you would using the cause and effect pattern to give the reasons why you earned such a high grade.

Transition words to look for when this pattern is present includes :

-          Affects

-          Brings out

-          Cause

-          Because

-          Consequences

-          Create

-          Effect

-          Leads to

-          Reaction

-          Reason

-          Result

-          Therefore

-          Whereas

Certainly, the most obvious is the word because, but also look the other transition words.
