Expressing Cause and Effect

A| PENGERTIAN

Cause and effect teks adalah jenis paragraf yang berisi analisa – analisa penulis tentang sebab dan akibat. Paragraf ini diawali dengan sebab – sebab yang dijabarkan di awal kalimat dan kemudian ditarik menjadi satu kesimpulan umum yang merupakan akibat dari penyebab – peyebab yang telah dijabarkan tersebut.

Model paragraf cause and effect ini biasanya sering digunakan dalam penulisan essay dan text explanation. Hal ini dikarenakan model ini dianggap memiliki alur penyampaian gagasan yang jelas dan terstruktur, sehingga para pembaca mudah mengerti ketika membacanya.

B| STRUKTUR

Paragraf cause and effect memiliki susunan sebagai berikut:

a| Memiliki gagasan utama pada topik sentence yang akan di bahas dalam keseluruhan paragraf.

b| Memiliki supporting detail atau kalimat-kalimat pendukung yang berupa penyebab.

c| Diakhiri dengan concluding sentence atau kesimpulan yang berupa akibat.

REMEMBER!

|BECAUSE OF

Because of/due to adalah preposition kata atau two-word conjunction, digunakan sebelum kata benda atau kata ganti. Because of memiliki makna by reason of, yang kemudian dalam penulisannya diikuti dengan object yang berupa noun atau phrase, pronoun, atau verb-ing.

Formula

because of/due to + noun (phrase) / pronoun / verb-ing

Untuk memperjelas, mari kita lihat contoh kalimat dengan kata because of dibawah ini:

a| Because of/Due to + noun phrase

We were bored because of the speech. – Kami merasa bosan karena pidatonya.

John was worried because of the rain. – John merasa khawatir karena hujan.

b| Because of/Due to + pronoun

c| Because of/Due to + verb-ing

Because of feeling happy, Edward sings loudly. – Karena merasa senang, Edward bernyanyi dengan keras.

Because of feeling sick, Tiara didn’t come to school today. – Karena merasa sakit, Tiara tidak datang ke sekolah hari ini.

|BECAUSE

Because merupakan subordinate conjunction atau adalah sebuah kata penghubung, yang digunakan pada awal clause atau klausa, sebelum subjek dan kata kerja. Untuk aturan menggunakan because+clause harus diikuti atau di lengkapi dengan adanya main clause karena kata tersebut (because + clause) tidak dapat berdiri sendiri.

Formula

Because/Due to the fact that + Subject + Verb / clause + main clause | main clause + because + clause / subject + verb

Untuk lebih mengerti, mari kita lihat contoh kalimat dengan kata because dibawah ini:

We were bored because the speech is too long. – Kami merasa bosan karena pidatonya terlalu panjang.

Because the film is not so good, I'm not happy  – Saya tidak merasa senang karena film ini tidak terlalu bagus.
