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.

The collision was due to the icy conditions.
The collision was caused by ice on the road.

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

3. Results
