以下3个部分，也适合一直考不到理想分数的老人。但前提是，你想成为一个高分写手。

1. Cause and reason

You probably already know how to use words like because, since and as to refer to the cause of or reason for something. Note how verbs and nouns can do the same job as conjunctions.

  例如，当你试图表达“由于路面结冰，两辆卡车相撞了。”时，可以尝试以下写法：

Owing to the icy conditions, the two lorries collided.

The collision was due to the icy conditions.

   The collision was caused by ice on the road.

   The cause of the collision was ice on the road.

   Here are some other "cause" words and typical contexts they are used in.

   The rise in prices sparked off a lot of political protest. [often used for very strong, perhaps violent, reactions to events.]

   The President's statement gave rise to/ provoked/ generated a lot of criticism. [slightly less strong than spark off]

   The new law has brought about/ led to great changes in education. [often used for political/ social change]

   This problem stems from the inflation of recent years. [explaining the direct origins of events and states]

   The court-case arose out of allegations made in a newspaper. [the allegations started the process that led to the court-case]

2. Reasons for and proposes of doing things

   Her reason for not going with us was that she had no money. or The reason she didn't go with us was that... [less formal]

   I wonder what his motives were in sending that letter. [purpose]

   I wonder what prompted him to send that letter. [reason/ cause]

   She wrote to the press with the aim of exposing the scandal. [purpose]

   I've invited you here with a view to resolving our differences. [sounds a bit more indirect than with the aim of]

   He refused to answer on the grounds that his lawyer wasn't there. [reason]

   The purpose of her visit was to inspect the equipment.

3. Results

   He did no work. As a result/ As a consequence/ Consequently, he failed his exams.

   The result/ consequence of all these changes is that no-one is happy any more. [The examples with consequence/ consequently sound more formal than result]

   His remarks resulted in everyone getting angry. [as a verb+in]

   The events had an outcome that no-one could have predicted. [result of a process or events, or of meetings, discussions, etc.]

   The upshot of all these problems was that we had to start again. [less formal than outcome]

   When the election results were announced, chaos ensued. [formal]

推这篇文章，也想告诉同学们，公众号|一个单词的价值观是踏踏实实做有价值的事，不投机不取巧。当然，如果你能熟练掌握其中一条，考试分数一定不会辜负你的付出。
