TOEFL-IELTS Writing about Cause and Effect
by Mr. Jeenn Lee Hsieh 题型》因果关系
for www.360abc.com

As a teacher, I have enjoyed writing essays tipical of IELTS writing task 2 about cause and effect. In this type of writing topics, I find it easier to organize an essay and have ideas better focused in my favorite 4-paragraph format. Six examples are given below, each complete with a sample essay which readers may find in the section 'IELTS Sample Essays' www.360abc.com 世博英语 托福雅思作文专栏提供谢振礼试写以下六篇样稿。
雅思作文题比托福作文题更倾向因果关系的题型。这型的考题算是容易应付，写起承转合四段刚刚好。

Keep it simple and logical about structure organized in 4 paragraphs: introduction-body-body-conclusion
一切从简单的构思开始，就不至于走样。主题为先，回答问题，就是主题。四段结构。内容分四段，前后连贯，不离主题的焦点。

Outline of four paragraphs: three options A-B-C
四段的内容分配，个人自有主张。举例如下：

Option A 结构

1起. problem>introduction 问题》开头
2承. cause>body 因》第二段
3转. effect>body 果》第三段
4合. solution>conclusion 解决》 结论

Option B
1. problem>introduction 开头谈问题
2. effect>body 第二段谈果
3. cause>body 第三段谈因
4. solution>conclusion 结论

Option C
1. problem>introduction 开头谈问题
2. cause and effect>body 因果
3. cause and effect>body 因果
4. solution>conclusion 结论谈解决
