 Cause and Effect

 

The Purpose of Cause and Effect in Writing

It is often considered human nature to ask, “ why? ” and “ how? ” We want to know how our child got sick so we can better prevent it from happening in the future, or why a colleague received a pay raise because we want one as well. We want to know how much money we will save over the long term if we buy a hybrid car, or how long we will live if we exercise daily. These examples identify only a few of the relationships we think about in our lives, but each shows the importance of understanding cause and effect.

⠀⠀⠀1. Cause

• (noun) seseorang atau sesuatu yang membuat sesuatu terjadi.

The cause of the flood was the massive of amount garbage thrown in the river.  

(penyebab dari banjir itu adalah banyaknya sampah yang dibuang ke sungai)

• (verb) sebuah kegiatan yang membuat sesuatu terjadi.

The massive amount of garbage thrown in the river caused the flood.  

(banyaknya sampah yang dibuang ke sungai menyebabkan banjir ini)

⠀⠀⠀2. Effect

• (noun) sebuah perubahan yang merupakan hasil dari sebuah kegiatan atau sebab.

The rain had an effect on her mood. 

(hujan mempunyai pengaruh pada mood-nya)

⠀⠀⠀3. Affect

⠀⠀⠀Ketika effect digunakan sebagai verb, kata tersebut berubah menjadi affect.

• (verb) untuk menghasilkan sebuah efek; menyebabkan terjadinya sesuatu.

The rain affected his mood.  

(hujan mempengaruhi mood-nya)

 

The Structure of a Cause and Effect Essay

The cause-and-effect essay opens with a general introduction to the topic, which then leads to a thesis that states the main cause, main effect, or various causes and effects of a condition or event.

The cause-and-effect essay can be organized in one of the following two primary ways:

• Start with the cause and then talk about the effects.
• Start with the effect and then talk about the causes.

For example, if your essay were on childhood obesity, you could start by talking about the effect of childhood obesity and then discuss the cause or you could start the same essay by talking about the cause of childhood obesity and then move to the effect.

Certain transitional words and phrases aid in keeping the reader oriented in the sequencing of a story. Some of these phrases are listed here:

 

 

 

A cause-and-effect sentence followed by a noun 

A cause and effect word followed by a noun or noun phrase usually uses a word or phrase (signal word / phase) such as :

• Because of
• Thanks to
• As a result of
• Due to
• As a consequence of
• Owing to

In the next example the noun or noun phrase will be underlined. Cause or cause is always written after the causal phrase (signal word / phase) as in the example above. Below are common patterns :

 

 

 ⠀⠀example :


1.   He’s always late because of his gaming habits

Dia selalu telat karena kebiasaan bermain game-nya.

• Signal phrase: Because of
• Cause: His gaming habits
• Effect : He’s always late

 

Causal sentence followed by a verb 

Causal words followed by a subject + verb or verb phrase usually use a word or phrase (signal word / phase) such as :

• Because
• Since
• As
• For

 

 

 ⠀⠀example :


1. He outing was canceled since it’s raining

Piknik itu dibatalkan karena hujan.

• Signal phrase: since
• Cause: it’s raining
• Effect : the outing was canceled
